The title is a bit weird. On my first reading it makes it sound like two different people can have indistinguishable fingerprints. But after reading/skimming the article+paper, it seems like what they’ve actually done is been able to correlate fingerprints from different fingers on the same person.

So the title makes it sound like they’ve weakened the basis of fingerprinting as forensic evidence, when in fact they’ve developed a way to link the different fingerprints from the same criminal so that additional cases could be solved.

e.g. if a criminal only left a thumb print at one crime scene and an index finger print at another, this posed a problem for investigators because they couldn’t link them to the same person, but this “AI” approach can link those two different prints to the same person.

This is really weird phrasing that pretends that Israel has no responsibility for their actions.

They chose to do this, they are responsible for what they’ve done.

Yeah, wireless Android Auto is great, although I’ve noticed that it’s fairly battery-intensive.

I’ve only used it on rental cars. My own car says that wireless Android Auto is supported, but I’ve never gotten it to work, and I think the on-screen message saying it should work is actually a bug. Probably because they have the same (or very similar) code running on newer versions of my car which do support wireless Android Auto.

This phrasing

offsetting everything else your kidneys are filtering

sounds like a negative thing, at least how I’m reading it.

I know drinking too much water is bad, but was under the impression that drinking a lot of water is generally better for you.

Most scripting languages are interpreted, not compiled. It’s not a criticism of them, but it is a tradeoff that is good to understand.

It seems like you are the one who is conflating terms like “script kiddie” with “scripting language” and adding some negative connotation that isn’t necessarily implied.

Scripting languages are usually easier to learn, have simpler syntax, and abstractions that hide complexity. These make them easier to get started in, but the downside is they are generally slower (performance-wise) than their compiled counterparts.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scripting_language

A scripting language, or interpreted language, is interpreted at runtime, rather than compiled.

It is not derogatory, and is simply a fact about languages like Python and JS.

In the US, most “free” (or included) hotel breakfasts range from bad to terrible. There are some exceptions, but they are few and far between.

Whereas my experience in Scandinavia was the opposite. Breakfasts were generally included or at least offered, and they ranged from alright to amazing. The only issue I had was that they all seemed to be following the same playbook (more or less). Some more variety would be nice.

Haven’t thought of the numa numa guy in years…

How about the problems it causes with third party launchers?

Oh wait, that’s probably intentional. To get you back on theirs. smh

No reason to respect anyone who hasn’t earned that respect. Age has nothing to do with it.

Totally equivalent right?

It’s annoying when EV-angelists act like range is a non issue compared to ICE vehicles. I want to buy an EV, but none of them have the range or charging speed I’d require for my typical drives.
