I don't think that's how it works. From experience from working on an experimental online learning system... it can't remember verbatim unless it is _really_ in there many many times. It can reconstruct it pretty close though.

Heh. But an https cert can be used for quite a bit more than just responding on port 443. Like smtp, pop, databases, etc.

As someone who grew up in the US and then moved to the EU; I came here to say exactly this. You leave your private house, get in your private car, then go somewhere. You could live 10 years beside someone and never know their name.

Here in the EU, I know most of the people on my street because I walk by them every day on my way to the store. In the US, even though I lived less than 1 mile/500ish meters from the store, I couldn't walk there if I wanted to.

Urban design makes a huge difference. The post war culdesac boom was a terrible idea. It does tend to keep unwanted strangers and poor people out of your neighborhood though, which was probably the point.

Wow. Now that is a weird and interesting take. Paying for privacy. Wow. I guess next we will be paying for respect too.

Yeah -- if you want to do something better; set it on the Beale Ciphers.

Couldn’t you argue a bitmap is a “point cloud” in 2D space?

France said 3D point clouds are magic, and they don't extend that to bitmaps. France works in mysterious ways!

If that's how France feels, we can give them 3D point cloud files.

So, just add a 0 z-coordinate. And fwiw, points are usually represented on a computer with a 4D position, not a 3D one. So; if they specify "3D" then point clouds likely aren't covered.

Standard point clouds files are magic, standard bitmap files aren't! I don't make the rules, France does.

Of course it doesn't make any sense. We're engineering for (particularly inane) legal requirements, not information theoretic ones.

However, if The Rules are somehow that industry standard point cloud files are un-FOI-able, then any file can be made un-FOI-able, because any file can be translated to/from a standard point cloud file.

The GPU isn’t connected to the disk though. Usually. So you’d still have to load from disk, to ram, then from ram to the GPU.

PCI-E is really very flexible https://developer.nvidia.com/gpudirect

It can be. That was the big new innovation in video game load times

I don't wear a watch for health bs. I wear a watch to tell time; the fact that it can also call my family is a bonus. Or show the current weather.

You’ve just described why people have a phone.

In 2010. Nobody has a phone to check the time and call people anymore, and haven't since smart phones became de rigeur.

Reminds me of a new PM believing that "arabic numerals" mean arabic script instead of real every day numbers because AI told them so. Despite the entire team trying to explain it to them.

Some people would just rather believe a computer than the evidence right in front of them.

I failed at 2 times. My folding couch couldn't supply the required pressure beyond that point.
