  • His demand to return to the US and give himself in was if he got a public (non military) trial.

    The government’s offer under Obama was that the only guarantee they would provide was that he wouldn’t be subject to torture.

    Even if he had negligible effect on state level surveillance, the documents he shared provided some insanely valuable perspective into the capability and power of nation states in the cybersecurity space.

    Anything the NSA is or was doing can also be applied to other major countries like China or Russia, and the capability + compute power has only grown in size since.

    EDIT: Also in true American foreign interest memery, the top two most heavily surveilled states are Iran and Pakistan.








  • higher than 0% can cause lost grades.

    I still lose marks.

    Is this actual policy or are you just trying to make sure your AI usage can’t be detected?

    Because there is no reliable way to detect AI usage except for obvious styling, prompt traps, and just matching your comprehension with the material (grades on assignments vs closed notes test).

    I’ve never heard of any university using such a system and would bring this up to administration with other students if they ever used such an unreliable grading method.












  • Yes and no, it depends on what it is and what you are doing.

    Focusing on close objects like displays and even books for long periods of time can cause you to lose sharpness in your eyes against far reaching objects. Hence why corrective eye glasses were often associated with those who spent a lot of time reading or studying in universities.

    However, VR and especially AR glasses project the image at a certain focal length that makes the object appear further away, causing your eyes to contract accordingly like you were actually focusing on a real object 10 feet away.

    That being said, 10 feet only gives you the same effect as sitting far from the TV. They really should try bumping it to 50-100 feet so that it really shows up like a giant projector screen in the distance.

    Conversely, you should spend time touching grass and looking into the distance at infinity so that your eyes keep their dynamic range of focus, especially if you spend all day working on a PC monitor that’s probably less than a yard/meter from your face/
