> You are condescending.

I certainly did not mean to, and I would blame the limits of this medium for that false impression. I was serious in my comments about thought experiments.

> Can I ask what other research do you use as a foundation of your worldview?

Aaronson is good at explaining things, so I use him as a reference, but look at any quantum computing textbook and the same argument will be present there. I am not familiar with Alessio Serafini, but there is plenty of other work in the field, from Xanadu Inc. to GKP's to encodings used at the institute where I work.

> it doesn't have all the answers.

This is always true, but you have given fewer answers.

> Can I ask about your stance on say Lie theory as it relates to quantum physics and why exactly is it that Lie theory provides a good foundation reasoning about quantum phenomena? Can we talk about anticommutavity? And infinitesimals?

Sure? If you are doing a litmus tests of my knowledge, yes, I do understand those topics and would be happy to discuss them. You can find my email on my profile page. I am sincerely always interested to talk about this with curious people.

> 10^300 is infinity. 10^3000 is infinity. 10^300000000 is infinity.

This is really missing the point. When things grow exponentially (like compounding errors) the numbers you are quoting are small.

> I'm not interested in your arguments about infinity. I legit don't care, stop trying, I find the premise of the question flawed.

This is simply intellectually dishonest. How do you expect a discussion to reach the truth if you disregard arguments you dislike?

> Are you legitimately saying that current architectures are at the physical limit that reality can take?

No, I am just saying that any technique that might be used to improve practical analog computers would be already of use in digital computers. I am also saying that making a better real world analog computer has nothing to do with the theoretical model of Real Computing which is unphysical. It is not a continuous change - the gulf is discrete and qualitative.

> Who has actually attempted to build this computer?

Analog computers in various media, including light, have been built for a century (more recently with light). Xanadu seems to be trying to commercialize them in the case of quantum continuous variables, and they will probably produce some interesting hardware, but claiming that their (potential) hardware is more powerful than the usual model of quantum computing (also only potential for now) is unscientific. My employer (Yale Quantum Institute) is also employing continuous variable systems in other contexts.
Vendor lock in is a hell of a drug.

They should be content with their inferior choices then.

These people deserve it.

Note, I certainly do think that there should be more regulation on lying salesmen, but these are kind of bad examples imo.
I thought your choices in Australia were Telstra or rebranded Telstra?
I returned Comcast's modem because:

1) I wanted better control of routing (have a bunch of wireguard tunnels). I want all the IOT-crap on a separate network, etc.

2) Whenever there is a transient link connectivity issue on the cable side it seems that the comcast modem tries to "fix" this by rebooting itself which takes a good 5 minutes.

I got a Netgear CM700 which is basically just a DOCSIS / Ethernet -bridge (you just get the public IP using DHCP on the ethernet side).

The cable modem connects to a homegrown Linux ARM based router and then I use Unifi PRO Access Point from Ubiquity Networks
for Wifi. Never looked back since. The Unifi AP have multiple SSID's configured which is separated on different vlans on the way back to the router. The Netgear modem have so far never had a single hick-up from what I can tell (about six months in now).

OpenWRT certainly is an option, but unfortunately getting high performance wifi out of it is a bit of a dice roll in my experience. I've tried a few hardware variants but eventually gave up and bought the Unifi PRO instead. Also I'd just rather have separate things that do each thing well.
I agree with the overall point of the article, and think it's important to point out that the author missed something of importance: When did we start lumping GenY in with Millennials?

This question alone raises a lot of doubts about where these articles come from and their intent. There are also some important cultural differences: most GenYers didn't grow up with the internet, social media, or cell phones. They spent a lot of time outdoors and share many of the same paradigms and values of GenX VS millenials. They were also singled out in a lot of articles and in a much different manner.

So what happened?

The attack on Millenials definitely looks real, especially considering these facts. Rich narcissists who lack foresight are bound to take this as far as they can. They're parasitic and spreading their short sighted bullshit with these articles the author calls out, and it's bound to backfire. Hard.

Without trying new things, you get stuck with, say, UIKit + CoreData which make me miss React every second I'm building an iOS app. All the KVO stuff that make it hard to actually reason about state changes.

Of course React, like any library/framework, is going to have its own idiosyncrasies. That isn't the question. The question is if it's still better than alternatives, and people clearly seem to think so. My first React app I ever made years ago still works on the latest React, seems pretty stable as far as the web client ecosystem goes.

Client development isn't trivial on any platform, btw. But I think we have it pretty damn good on the web, relatively.
> I think it would be quite the day to take the hashes of Microsoft's ISO images for Windows, and compare it with the source code

Wat? How would you translate an ISO hash into anything meaningful to compare to the actual source code (that you don't have access to, but that's beside the point) ?

Does microsoft enforce reproducible builds[0]? Even if they did, you couldn't reproduce it (no access to source). When you hash a large binary, like an ISO, you cannot deconstruct what, eh, sub-binaries it is made of, and you cannot magically decompile those, eh, sub-binaries into source code.

And that raises the question, should people above a certain age stop being considered as adults and have their adult privileges taken away? Just like children who tend to lack critical thinking can't vote then why should people older than a certain age get to do it?

Note, this is not something that I necessarily agree with, especially because I know quite a few of old people (my ex-professors) who seem quite good with critical thinking.
Thats not how backdoors work.

Backdoors are subtle bugs introduced into the existing codebase. They are compiled into the build.

They aren't added to the binary after the compilation by a malicious third party.

1. Narrow your search down to a couple of specific cars: make, model, year. Stick to that. If you don't get specific, you get pulled in too many directions.

2. Learn about those specific cars. At $3-5K, we are looking at used cars: what are their common problems?

3. Look for low kilometers relative to age, needless to say.

3. Besides mechanical and structural things (engine, brakes, transmission, electrical, body), inspect the windows and windshield for damage. Don't forget to look at tires; don't buy a used car with bald tires. A battery that is five years old or older should be assumed end-of-life. Try all the accessories, A/C, power windows, speakers.

4. Buy only a "clean title" used car; no "salvage title". Most of the unusually good deals (cars 50% cheaper than others of the same make model and age) are suspicious: salvage cars that were so damaged they were written off by insurance. Salvage cars are a gamble: they can be repaired well and provide years of service, or they can be horrible. Don't gamble. If you're looking for a family car for transporting children, absolutely no salvage nonsense. Previously damaged cars are not safe in crashes, similarly to bike helmets. Their air bags may not have been professionally reset either.

5. Walk away from anything that has a problem in a test drive: engine stalling, difficult start, shifting problems or whatever else.
I lose respect for any man who cheats on his wife, no matter the reason...

That's some sanctimonious bullshit.

There is zero public information indicating any cheating. We know that there was a trial separation. We don't know what agreements there were. We do know that the divorce is being presented as being amiable.

My attitude is that if his soon to be ex wife is not upset, then random strangers like yourself have zero business being upset on her behalf. You aren't part of or privy to his relationships or agreements. It is none of your business.

Unless you have non-public information indicating that he violated any agreement with MacKezie, the best information available to you is information in places like https://www.tmz.com/2019/01/09/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-div... - which indicates that the relationship began after both couples separated, and was known by both ex partners.

Which would indicate that this isn't cheating. No matter how much it offends your sensibilities.

Expensively regulating something well below any detectable effect could have negative consequences regardless of whether or not it is a criminal defendant. For instance, nuclear power plants are very nearly carbon free, yet they're expensive in part because of the Linear No-Threshold model of radiation dose at very low doses. If they were cheaper and we were fully decarbonized in 1995, we could avoid the other more detectable effects of global warming.

Microsoft had a large amount of policy, and it could be that there were some policy that applied, but if there was some it didn't permeate the culture and daily routine in the trenches there (from my personal and limited experience).

Both backdoor requests I became privy to while there (2.5 years, circa 2011-2014) came from a certain US TLA, were law enforcement would have been an awkward step, though it seems reasonable to me that there were more requests, including from other organizations, but I was never made aware of those.

There were some foreign spies caught in MSRC in the same timeframe. More of an extradite than a prosecute type situation, though.

While I've absolutely had this experience with some of my ARM boards (notably, most of my ODroids are stuck on some variant of the 4.14 kernel with vendor patch sets), the essential parts of the espressobin are in mainline, device tree and all.

The larger problem of developer/security team time and effort is still there, though. Arch Linux ARM and Armbian are active and well-maintained, but I do find myself running into problems that indicate that the community of active users for this type of hardware is vastly smaller than a traditional architectures.

Guys I am talking about how commercial aircraft GPS reports speed. I understand how it gets its fix from satellites; what it reports to the human is speed along the reference horizontal datum AKA "the ground."

If you fly from point A to point B in one hour at 10,000 feet, and then fly from point A to point B in one hour at 30,000 feet, GPS will report the same speed for both flights. It does not bother to correct for the slightly longer path at 30,000 feet because that level of precision is simply not needed for commercial aviation.

Given the cheap barrier to entry for the boards, it's probably worth another try with a later revision, particularly given that the espressobin can follow mainline fixes rapidly. If I do make any progress on that front, I'll certainly update the forum topic/any blog posts.

AT&T's fiber service comes with two pieces of hardware: the ONT and a "residential gateway" that, in addition to being a router, is a terminal for the VoIP service and also has some guts for facilitating their UVerse IPTV platform.

Officially you can't opt out of using the RG. This differs from, say, Verizon's FiOS, which allows customers to just plug their own router straight into the ONT if they don't want the phone company's router.

You can put the RG into a "passthrough" mode that gives a downstream client the public IP address, so a router thinks it's bridged, but under the hood the RG is still maintaining all the connections in its own NAT table.

You can't simply plug a router into the ONT and have it work off the bat, as the RG has necessary 802.1x certs burned into the firmware. What you can do is use the eap_proxy tool mentioned in this same thread. I ran it on an EdgeRouter, and it essentially MITM'd the 802.1x handshaking and delegated that to the AT&T-provided RG, then once the 802.1x was dealt with, the EdgeRouter could get an address via DHCP.

There's apparently nothing customer-specific about the 802.1x certs; there's a thread on DSLReports about people buying old AT&T RG's off eBay and rooting them to extract the certs to use on their own router.

At the end of the day AT&T still owns and manages the hardware at the customer's end of the fiber (at the ONT level), they just also enforce usage of the router plugged into it too.

This is all standard mathematics.

The equivalence relationship is that the sequence (x_1, x_2, x_3, ...) is equivalent to (y_1, y_2, y_2, ...) if and only if the limit as n goes to infinity of x_n - y_n = 0.

Formally, the real number represented by (x_1, x_2, x_3, ...) is the set of all Cauchy sequences which are equivalent to that one. Since "equivalent to" is transitive, any Cauchy sequence in that set will define the same set.

Addition and multiplication are defined elementwise. Proving that they are well-defined is relatively straightforward. Their algebraic properties follow for free. Any rational number q can be mapped to the Cauchy sequence (q, q, q, ...) which leads to a unique real number that we somewhat sloppily call q again.

I've left some details out, but this construction is well-understood, and is how we define the completion of a metric space.

The situation is genuinely pretty grim but there is the occasional bright spot.

There is the occasional win for individuals but its mostly when large numbers of people are affected all at once.
