An LLM is not thinking, assuming and relating it to thought and universal truths is nonsense.

We are each responsible for learning ourselves, and we live in a time where that is easier than ever. I find it odd your default position is to assume it is not important.

You want to stop the source, which is that the government and other agencies can purchase surveillance data that would otherwise be disallowed by the 4th amendment. We need to end this 'laundering' of information through third parties, and enforce the constitution by its intent.

I invented faster than light travel, it was obvious, just didn't write a paper yet either :)

Testing on 5GB of data fully resident in ram is a terrible comparison. Things get hard when you're in the hundreds of gigabytes or more.

It's still a big deal, you had to compile ffmpeg yourself before

These results are terrible, false positives and false negatives. Useless

New comment by stevemk14ebr in "I reverse-engineered Netflix's 4K restrictions"

stevemk14ebr — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:47:59 +0000

So your extension does a bunch of hooks to spoof edge, but then only works on edge? And edge using Netflix normally already supports 4k. So this does nothing and does not solve the stated problem of chrome and Firefox 4k Netflix streaming.

Am I missing something?

Even at 0F most modern heat pumps produce heat at a COP greater than 2. This means you get twice the rate of heat generation than a typical electric space heater. You are out of date, and wrong.

This is pseudo-intelligence: "can be exploited by an enemy to bring harm to American forces" means nothing when talking about a metal gun. This isn't some computer vulnerable to RCEs or fly by wire bullets.
