Your claim makes me a bit skeptical unless im misunderstanding something here... I'd assume that a data source of pure natural radiation would be genuinely random even if its distribution isn't even, and that using anything in your computer to compensate for it would actually do the opposite: reduce randomness with damaging bias.

It reminds me of a story from Cryptonomicon in which a character mentions a secretary grabbing randomly spun number balls from a tumbling device while blindfolded (if I remember the objects right) and not liking the results when she had to write them down because they didn't look random enough to her, so she starts peeking and slightly "correcting", and thus ruins a number of one-time pads
Basically me, when I tell my IT colleagues that if they just run "git status" in 99% of the cases it will tell them what to do if something didn't work "magically"...

I wonder where I heard this speech-pattern before?
What you think of as kindergarten would be termed daycare in the US, or potentially preschool, depending on the age of the children.

In the US, kindergarten is the first year of compulsory education - traditionally children would go for half a day, but I think more and schools offer it as a full day now to take into account having both parents in the workplace.
If their software is dependent on the ARM ISA then they can't.
questionably from the beginning

Agreed. If you look at what's the majority of compute loads (e.g. Instagram, Snap, Netflix, HPC) then that's (a) not particularly security critical, and (b) so big that the vendors can split their workload in security critical / not security critical, and rent fast machines for the former, and secure machines for the latter.

I wonder which cloud provider is the first to offer this in a coherent way.

A try I shall do! I’ve had some interesting ideas with it but I feel stupid and or silly reasoning about it. For the sake of experimentation and fun I’ll definitely play around soon.

Existential dread is like the background radiation of stress for this era - the constant worry that the climate will change more rapidly than anticipated, that reified systems will collapse, that unrest and chaos will spread.

Add to that the expectation of constant availability and instantaneous response, the expectation of unmitigated success, the expectation of having a soaring career and being a good parent and impressing your (global) peers and presenting a flawless life in every aspect.

Add to that the faceless systemisation of processes and functions that once had a human face (getting a loan, buying a home, screening for employment, the passing of judgment), and the dehumanisation of human affairs.

It honestly amazes me that humans are so far, en masse, proving relatively resilient under this relentless cudgelling, but I wonder how long it can last. Not much longer, I fear.
This is how a lot of "design" works, be it product design, fashion or software. A standard is set by a market leader and consumers want as close to that as they can get. So other companies offer similar versions, often sharing some of the same supply chain. It has happened throughout history and will continue as long as consumers have choice.

Good journalism (and any information sharing) is about delivering meaning, not just facts. Facts divorced of context tend to lack meaning to all but those that fully understand their context, because they're prone to misunderstanding.

It's completely appropriate to center a headline around the likely meaning of the phosphine discovery rather than the discovery itself, because almost nobody is an astrobiologist. The scientists who study this stuff are just as compelled by the question of life on other planets as a layperson, because its discovery would be extremely meaningful to us as a species.

The question is not whether headlines should be represented as facts or their meaning, its whether the meaning that is presented is supported by the facts. In this case, it seems warranted.
Are these tests like the SAT? I studied pretty specifically for it before college. I imagine I'd do worse after college because my degree didn't have much to do with the tricky algebra questions or weird vocabulary that it seemed to focus on.
It blows my mind how much higher US/Canada's per-capita CO2 emission is compared to European industrialized countries as well as China [1].

While we lament how much of this is due to offshoring industries to China, it's also a good sign that carbon-importing countries seem to have been trending down over the past 10 years while carbon-exporting country (China) is leveling off in its emission. My naive read would be that we learned to make more efficient use of carbon while off-shoring is happening.

All countries need to do much more but SOME really need to wake up and do their part!

Thanks! FWIW, I currently run Ubuntu Touch on a OnePlus One.
I'm sorry but what are you basing this on?

From all the research on batteries I have done this is complete nonsense. Its the opposite actually, the amount of research and commercial opportunity is exploding.

You now have many university, governments and commercial all investing in batteries. And its not just startups, but its massive investment by starups and large companies.

There is the Battery 500 consortium that is lots of universities working together and some of those labs are commercially sponsors by Tesla and so on. They are focused on doubling the density with amazing lifetime and safer. This is mostly incremental work.

There is the Li-Sulfer program that the DoD has, its specifically at super high density that is another huge effort.

You have large scale improvements moving into current Lithium Ion, Single Cristal Cathodes, Dry Battery Electrode Technology, Tabless Cells, Lithium Doping, synthetic graphite anodes, silicon anodes are in the early stages of development. I could go on.

But on every level from incremental engineering and production improvements all the way to breakthrew chemistry is being worked on massively.

The amount of work on batteries is probably 100x or maybe 1000x higher then on fuel cells.
Disappointing that the piece finished with "urgent action can change trends".

No, it can't. Urgent inaction can change trends, though. Stop mining coal. Stop making cement. Stop refining oil and gas. Stop eating meat.
It is kind of sad, but according to my observations the age of the children is proportional to the degree of organization and proactivity shown by their teachers.

Of course, administration could and should have helped. And maybe I am not seeing a lot of things going on, but I did not notice teachers organising themselves, sharing materials or video lectures, or curating literature for their students.

The frustrating aspect of remote schooling is that there are thousands of underemployed teachers, there is a network that allows every one of them to reach out to millions of students. And yet all I ever heard was about single teachers being stressed to prepare and correct exercises for the maybe 100 students the would have met in-person otherwise.
Note to Oberon, don't focus on version 1 alone.

Oberon System 3 with its gadgets framework or the current AOS (still used as teaching tool at ETHZ) also have interesting ideas, and better support for systems programming.

The book "The Oberon Companion. A Guide to Using and Programming Oberon System 3" is available as part of the System 3 environment delivered as part of AOS.

I always wondered why the hell I would feel so wrecked at certain times of day. It's a nightmare. Thank god I WFH these days.
One of the reason for the interest in RISC-V is the US-China tech war and the US long arm banning of China's biggest tech companies access to ARM. However RISC-V is dominated by US companies and even with some parts open source, it will still be subject to sanctions.

A true alternative to ARM need to come out of China.

A cheap toaster oven or hot air tool works fine for these. Or, as others have said, a regular soldering iron with lots of flux.

Assuming that it is so: when? It seems that C—despite all its shortcomings—remains a very popular language in some problem domains. For some platforms it seems like it's really the only performant HLL option.

If the distribution non-evenness result is, say, 1000 bits of entropy in every 1024 bits of RNG output, but we save circuitry and have simple auditable RNG then it's worth it. I'm not going to lose sleep over my RSA key having effectively 4000 bits instead of 4096 when it was generated by maximally simple and transparent process. As compared to complicated crypto whitening that everyone thinks "must have".
For a bit of a Maxima vs Mathematica perspective, it is worth reading Fateman's review of Mathematics:

You just need to accelerate and move around in space, which is equivalent to rotating your spacetime velocity vector slightly towards the spatial axes.

Or be under gravity.
No, the tradeoff is that even with volume, rsync.net storage costs are $15/TBmonth [0], which is ~3x managed alternatives [1,2] and ~10x DIY alternatives [3]. To be fair, ZFS snapshots are "free" but whether that's worth 3x cost will depend on your data.

The lack of bandwidth charges sounds really nice but [1,3] have that too and unlike [1,3], Rsync.net doesn't support protocols that are suited for bandwidth-intensive applications (like serving large files to end-users). It only supports SSH-based transfers [4].

What, and the profits, investments and growth made by the company will stay inside the country? There's a much broader problem here.
Thank you. I’m incredibly interested in the UX paradigms demonstrated within Oberon. I’d like to play with that and get some inspiration for a few ideas I’ve been mulling about. Thanks!

Lots of weird comments here. I’ve done this solo with a 200tb bucket in about a day. A rando “aws s3 cp” obviously isn’t going to cut it.

They had the weird requirement where they also needed to empty the bucket, which makes things slightly more complex. You’d create a small 5 line lambda that would copy an object to the new bucket and then delete it. You’d then invoke this with a batch operation.

If you can relax the empty requirement, then you’d just use the batch operation to copy without needing a lambda and set a lifecycle policy to delete the objects. You’d need to do a bit of manual work to copy-delete objects created since the last inventory ran, but that is fairly simple.

You can use a tool like rclone but that’s still going to be quite slow compared to a batch operation, especially if you have a higher number of small files.

Alternatively, you would set up replication between the buckets and just handle the deletion within the window. S3 can delete 1,000 objects per call, meaning emptying a bucket is pretty fast.

Or, lastly, you’d use “s3 cp” with an appropriate number of threads on a machine within AWS.
The world will go on.

The question is, what kind of life do you want your children/nieces and nephews to live in fifty years' time?

We're heading for a world in which rich countries will be severely tested by hundreds of millions of wannabe climate migrants, while coping with the aftermath of repeated storms* and recurrent shortages of food and other ncecessities.

(On the up side, global population is going to peak soon.)

Any action helps make things that much less bad in fifty years.

There must be a reason that maxima is more widely used. Is Maxima easier to use? Or did maxima just have better distribution channels?
Your are right, that was really the only invention i could think of, but since it's not a customer product i didn't listen it (with Customer product i mean Gmail/Maps etc).

Gosh imagine that, even a former online Bookseller (amazon) is more innovative than google.
While all of the things that you listed are real and actual reasons to be stressed out, it's not like life was less stressful in the past. Just thinking about the history of my own country, your average Pole in the 20th century had to worry

1) whether they can even speak their own language as under Prussian-Russian-Austrian occupation it wasn't allowed under harsh punishment, you could only learn Polish history and language in hiding

2) The restoration of independence after WW1 came with reshuffling of land ownership, so you might have had to abandon all your posessions to move somewhere else

3) general shitty conditions all the way until WW2

4) WW2, 2.4 million Poles killed because they were "the wrong race" and just happened to be in an attractive geopolitical location

5) WW2 ends, but we get 40 years of communism instead. Now your daily worries include whether you get a government-assigned job on the other side of the country so you don't get to see your family, and secret police coming to disappear you for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. General shitty conditions unless you follow the party line.

In comparison to that, life in the 21st century is "honey and mead" as they say. Yeah sure young people struggle with climate change and buying a house like everyone else, but it's not like the lives of their ancestors were any less stressful(and most likely more so).
They offer 2 free Oracle databases. The catch is they're Oracle databases.

In other words it's the same as every cloud provider: They hope you'll build a business system that uses enough of their proprietary tech that you can't easily move to another provider.
You're undoubtedly correct, but the situation is extremely nuanced. I found the conclusion from this article [1] very interesting

Territorial emissions accounting might not be perfect, Mabey says, but in terms of simplicity it is the more practical approach. Lord Deben, chair of the UK’s Committee on Climate Change, told the BBC the UK only has direct control over its home-grown emissions, whereas manufacturing methods and energy choices in China are outside our control.

Barrett says consumption accounting brings additional information to the table, but agrees there’s no need to abandon territorial accounting methods. Instead, he says consumption emissions highlight how hard it is to decouple emissions from economic growth.

That’s why many commentators were so surprised that carbon emissions stalled in 2014, even as the global economy expanded. For a good chance of limiting warming to below two degrees, the challenge of decoupling emissions from growth will have to be cracked.

Countries control what they can measure, which is where we are currently. However, fixing climate change requires a completely coherent and coordinated global response, which will have hugely implications for economic growth. Essentially, our economic & political models won't allow us to apply the fix we really need.

Without that, we are left with countries trying to do the best they can individually.

I've come up with an idea of PDDF (Portable Data Document Format). The PDF format allows embedding files into documents. Why not embed an SQLite database file right in PDF document with all the information nicely structured? The both formats are very well documented and there are lots of tools on any platform to deal with them. Humans see the visual part of PDF, while machine processing works with the SQLite part.

Imagine that instead of parsing a PDF invoice, you just extract the SQLite file embedded in it, and it has a nice schema with invoice headers, details, customer details, etc.

Anything else in PDF would work nicely either - vector graphics, long texts, forms - all can be embedded as an SQLite file in a PDF.
These are still conspiracies. Unless you can prove beyond doubt that the office of the President of the United States was misused to benefit Oracle because of the friendship between Trump and Ellison then yes your theory can be proved. That can be through money trail/paper trail/wiretapping. Anything that can establish without doubt that the two have a connection. Innocent until proven guilty. Or did we throw that axiom out the window? Trump was a businessman prior to becoming the US President. It is obvious that he has friends in all places. Else he would never have been able to do any sort of business in the first place.

Does just having support or being a friend with a billionaire amount to corruption? What if Google was the beneficiary of the deal and not Oracle? Or what if Apple was the beneficiary of the deal and not Oracle?

Apple has also benefited from Trump's interventions. "Tim Cook said during an interview with Fox Business that the Trump administration enabled Apple to enter the Indian retail market." [1]

Does this also amount to corruption now?

> They have an obvious shared interest. Pay my back and I'll pat yours.

Even if there was some "obvious" shared interest it helps the US in the end doesn't it? It is not like it is something against USA. So what is the problem here?
Well, I don't know, maybe the goal of RISC-V is not to make China happy? Just an idea.
Are they? If so, we’ve been saying them for about the last 30 years and things seem to be fine.
How is it set up? I can't see Amazon ref links in their result page (containing plain Amazon links).
Here we go again with the guilt by association fallacies with Twitter users. They sound more like conspiracy theorists and commenting on 'unofficial' or 'reports says' articles without any links to actual press releases and end up jumping to wild conclusions and associations.

Another so called report refutes the widespread 'reports' of Bytedance selling TikTok US to Oracle [0]. We only know of Microsoft's official word on this [1]. But not an official word from either Oracle or Bytedance refuting or confirming either article.

Unconfirmed reports and unofficial nonsense always spreads faster on social media than anywhere else. Come back when it is 'actually' straight from the horses mouth.

But then who is buying them? I see plenty of young families that seemingly live in those 1.5M zone 1-2 houses and flats, and many do not appear to be renting (although maybe they are? But not like renting is THAT much cheaper either).
I thought that was implied by the description of the EM drive of "X kilowatt for Y newton". But I guess the effect could indeed depend on your speed relative to some special reference frame, like that of the microwave background.

If that's the case, then we can do something like the Michelson–Morley experiment, to check whether the effect is different depending on the direction the Earth is moving in its orbit.
