Possible if you have an FPGA, except that’s MORE expensive somehow

- Comment on Is audiophile bullshit cheating? 1 week ago:
Audio beamforming is a thing.
What he did doesn’t sound like it’s capable of achieving that. Unless he tried to make a bunch of separate chambers for standing waves for different frequencies or something, you can’t do much with a single source (and we’re talking at least some dozen resonance chambers). Beamforming is usually done with phased arrays of ultrasonic transducers, and measurement of how audio echoes in the room.
Might have been trying to make directional speakers, otherwise (transducer arrays are often used to make that!). But that’s ALSO not doable with such a small change, you need a bunch of bullshit like at least a cone, or once again by using more sources.
Could also simply put up some lazy ass half domes behind the speaker and behind where he would be sitting, but that’s ALSO not what he did

More than you think. Hydrogen, specific diesel blend only, gas (the state of matter, not gasoline) fuel only

Electric car charging works anywhere if you have an adapter
If you have a vehicle with a weird fuel type then there’s very few gas stations you can go to

- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
Bad terminology choice, I meant the cert issuer. Need to revise the language later. I was thinking of it in terms of who verifies your IRL identity. The issuer can only issue the cert after you met them and they checked your documentation, etc
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
More like getting a TLS domain cert from a CA both sides recognize, but yeah
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
Zero-knowledge proofs still require that third party but only once, to issue it initially. Then the user can issue their own proofs locally
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
Correct, as a cryptography nerd I can assure you that you MUST at minimum have a trusted verifier which met you in person at some point (such as whatever office you get your physical ID card at) and they have to have your information.
And then you’re trusting both Secure Element hardware and fancy cryptography where both must be flawless in order to protect the end user’s side of it, all while the end user now carries much more personal information with them than before

That’s because it doesn’t, your brain does
Speakers do the simplest thing possible and literally just vibrate. A recording being played literally just recreates a recorded vibration. It’s a tiny choreography that your ears are incredibly sensitive for.
All the fancy stuff happens in our brains, after our ears has split up the sound around us into different ranges of frequencies (you can think of the hairs in the inner ears as tuning forks). We learn to recognize which frequencies goes together, and then we learn how the frequencies from multiple sources can overlap, and we learn what it all means
The real crazy part is how something as simple as sound can carry so much information and how reliably our brains can tell it all apart and make sense of it

The secret trick is that they can do both.
The actual software target is their Steam Linux Runtime container. So all you need to install is the container environment, and if your 3rd party OS does that for you then you’re already done.
