I haven’t visited that subreddit but your points line up with what I have observed with the most staunch critics of Elon that I’ve encountered offline. Thanks for sharing.
It works the other way too. I recently told my manager "that doesn't work like you think it does, so your proposal is a no-go."

After looking it up, I was surprised to find that, yes, it did indeed work like he thought it did, and his proposal was viable.

We all have to eat our hats sometime; no one can be right all the time.
I believe better performance without hardware specializations is why the chacha cipher was invented and added to TLS. I even think most big websites prefer it, for better mobile experience.

I said it before and I'll say it all again:

I bought 30x X25-E SSDs from 2011 because:

- Spinning disks consume 5-10W when idling (as in ready to read/write idle).

- Spinning disks have 2 motors (spin and head driver) that inevitably fail.

That said the SLC(1) -> MLC(2) -> TLC(3) -> QLC(4) layers is a race to the bottom with increased complexity and failures over time!

These are the reasons big actors still use tape as storage medium!!!

There is no great solution, but 64GB 50nm SLC SSDs from 2011 have the best write per bit that will ever be seen (100.000), they only use 0.07W on idle and ~2W when writing/reading. So if your motherboard has alot of SATA ports it might be the best solution until some real innovation happens!

Edit: Maybe I'm the only person in the world that can have 5 million customers on 512GB? Atleast I can have them for 250 years if they all write to the database every day now no matter how expensive electricity becomes!
SSD needs to be periodically turned on to avoid losing data. Spinning disk doesn't have that limitation.
I see an article with a first subheading of "In this report, we apply basic scientific techniques to answer the question “Is Kansas as flat as a pancake?”." It's kind of a funny article. Maybe try this mirror: https://web.archive.org/web/20210511013956/http://www.usu.ed... ?
So more like cancer?

As the storage medium in this new tech is graphene, do we call it "spinning coal"?
I click on it and I get a page talking about how Kansas is flatter than a pancake. I don't know why it didn't work for you.
> WebGL, in its quest for programmer familiarity and cross-platform ubiquity, adopted the API of OpenGL ES. As such it has never been capable of exploiting the full power of the underlying GPU, even as desktop APIs like DirectX 12, Metal, and Vulkan debuted and became popular. Furthermore, Apple has been slow to build out full support for WebGL 2: as of this writing, it remains an Experimental Feature in Safari).

After being released in 2017, which is why WebGL never been able to match Flash/Stage3D for online games and most indies just went native mobile games anyway.

WebGL seems to be stuck into basic 3D visualizations for items on virtual shops, cool effects and some demos.

It still is an easier way to play with shaders, provided one doesn't care about anything past GL ES 3.0.

As for WebGPU, given its current state with so many features postponed for after 1.0, while native APIs are migrating to mesh shaders and ray tracing extensions, it remains to be seen how much adoption it will get in about 5 years time.

Lets see what those GPUs will be capable of doing versus what WebGPU can do by then.

Sorry for the rant, the article was well written, and despite all, I still advise anyone that cares about 3D graphics to have a go at WebGPU.
Let's see a video of it in action!

After your next bonghit, of course.
It's OK to not have a side project.

Good audio is really important. It's hard to be taken seriously when they can't understand you. And good audio quality definitely gives you more presence and relatability. I feel like it's the modern equivalent of being well spoken.

As long as there exists either an exchange willing to look the other way or a trustless bridge to another blockchain that does offer anonymity (inherently or via trustless on-chain mixers), it will be trivial to anonymize pseudonymous blockchains as well.

Looking the other way in this context can be as simple as "enforce address/wallet embargos with a delay of ten minutes": That's enough to swap all dirty and trackable tokens for clean anonymous/anonymizable tokens.
Could it be connected to some offshore oil rigs in that region? There doesn't seem to be any islands in that area, but if I'm not mistaken, that part of water is an oil and gas producing region.

Tokyo is an example of a "multicellural" city, with its Special Wards each functioning as a separate city with only some services shared among them.

The wards each have a population of a few hundred thousand people, and some take top spots in the list of biggest cities in Japan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Japan

The city has been run like this for decades, and it seems to work out for Tokyo pretty well.
If I put my cynic hat on for a moment, normal government policies often depend on the whims of rich people as we are, unequal access to lobbying is a problem.
I seriously doubt that the money was printed. It's all electronic nowadays.

There's so much confusion and cargo-culting around money, it would serve as well to use accurate language. The money was created, but not printed.

This is significant because "printing" evokes a picture of the money being distributed to people who then spend it, which is not quite the case here.
I think it's fair to interpret this as a sign that even the theoretical non-anonymity of Bitcoin is not enough of a threat to disincentivize illegal uses (or alternatively it can be trivially circumvented).
You can’t really tell who is using a cable without access to quite a bit of contractual data.

Cable capacity is generally leased as strands, then subleased as waves, then someone leases L2 circuits on top of that. Not like L3 where you can run a traceroute or whatever, though I wonder if you could determine possible cables based on latency…

It's not about Google demanding it, it's that Mozilla has less developer capacity than Google so they're spending more time matching Google's API changes instead of implementing their own.

For instance Manifest V3 would mean the end of uBlock Origin and other content blockers if Mozilla follow Google's implementation exactly, and whilst they've said recently they're not intending to deprecate the content blocking APIs this isn't a long-term certainty especially with this new conformity group arising.
Why is no one pointing out that, in order to receive bitcoins on the Lightning Network (LN), you need to lock bitcoins in a payment channel?

So, if a consumer wants to send bitcoins to a merchant, either the consumer needs to lock up bitcoins in a payment channel which can only send bitcoins to that given merchant, or the consumer needs to lock up bitcoins in a payment channel to an intermediate gateway, and the merchant needs to lock up the amount of bitcoins it wants to receive in a payment channel between it and the gateway.

So if 1000 consumers want to send 0.001 BTC to merchant A, via a gateway, then 1 BTC needs to be locked in a payment channel between the gateway and merchant before this can happen. This means that LN needs 2 BTC to send 1 BTC when using a single gateway.

So, first of all, the gateway needs to know how many bitcoins the merchant will receive in the future, and secondly the gateway needs to borrow this amount of bitcoins in the market and lock it up in a payment channel between it and the merchant. In the end I think the capital cost of this will be too high.

I think it makes more sense to use a decentralized, credit-based system such as GNU Taler (think “decentralized BTC debit card”). Merchants are then free to choose which gateways (“exchanges” in GNU Taler speak) to trust, and a payment app can work with any Taler gateway, making the system decentralized in the same way as email.

This implies a "rational" actor in the sense that they would not be willing to effectively set money on fire to hurt other system participants.

A nation state wanting to destabilize or destroy trust in a given cryptocurrency might not fit that definition.

I don't think that's a likely outcome, though – governments have much more economical tools at their disposal achieving the same outcome.

As the article explains, those who would want to attack Bitcoin would not care about the costs involved, since their goal is to destroy the network, not to make money off of it.
Also, even power users might want to add something to their todo list when they don’t have their laptop out. This notion that you can “type command-e” presupposes someone sitting at a keyboard on a desktop.

For me the hard part about Rust is the borrowing, lifetimes stuff and this book doesn't really seem to address these.

For me that means you won't get to Production (at least not starting from Zero) since these are concept that make Rust truely different from other language and without properly grasping those, you will run into hard to understand errors and code that won't compile.

It also seriously affects how you structure your code in general.

There are plenty resources that do properly explain these concepts but in the end you will just need to get it in your system, which is what I'm currently struggling with. The flow of code as I'm used to writing in C, C++, Python or Go simply won't work for Rust
Yes, he can steal the cookies and new passwords, but still won't have access to user accounts and/or passwords for more than an hour.

So, after Edward is discovered, all sessions are remotely logged off and all accounts created during that hour are blocked, asked to confirm their email, phone or even identity, or deleted.

So, after one hour, Edward is left with nothing more than braggable rights. And personal data of billions, but not their passwords.

Oh, I know. I've tried these things. It makes no difference in my experience, but that's probably mostly because I work for government departments. They have zero interest in customer engagement, or any similar metrics. The only thing they care about is not hearing internal complaints from more senior people. Those senior people don't use their own department's products! Hence... no complaints.

I vividly remember trying to explain these concepts to a librarian. She wanted to implement a hugely complex "search form" where you could narrow down the search to something like: "Show me all young adult fiction about dragons written by authors who's name starts with the letter A and was published in the years 1997 to 1999".

But that's an absurd scenario, and no student in the history of the world will ever use it like that. Never. They'll type in "dragons" and read the first book that has a cover picture they like. I did this. My friends did this. All of the statistics I collected in the system shows that this is what everyone else does too.

The reason she wanted that search was because the old system would take tens of seconds to do any search. So you had to get the search "right" the first time, or you'd be there for tens of minutes.

My version did the search in under 15ms, and even did live tab complete. I copied the Google interface with quotes for exact search, negative sign prefix for exclude, etc...

Oh, and I made sure to get the highest quality book cover art for every title I possibly could. Kids love to see that, the artwork is engaging, and it motivates them to read more. Search forms? Not so much...

The kids loved it, but the librarian is still a little bit grumpy that I didn't build her the two page form that she wanted!
I would prefer they remain, because at this point Windows is the only (major) OS retaining a professional look and not giving in to the toyish rounded corner appearance. (Yes, even KDE is going that way in an effort to be trendy.)

Too bad the article mentions "Rounded corners [...] are also planned."
The big caveat is obviously the word "greedy". A state need not be greedy, nor for that matter needs a group of politically motivated people running a LOIC against any Bitcoin node they may find.

Our system has multiple impossible to finish hard to maintain convoluted modules that indeed did not worked.
There are some great services out there for people who want their designs made at that level. Speaking as someone who has worked in fabs - there are so many ways it can go wrong and so many ways you could kill/poison/burn/electrocute yourself if you tried to do it yourself. Your lithography would probably need a lot of tweaking too!
I had a manager tell me "it won't work" after I'd done a proposal that involved an algorithm taught in undergraduate computer science. I expected most of the team would recognize the algorithm and see how it could be applied.

No one one spoke up to disagree with him. In fact, the CTO was in the room at the time. This guy (the CTO) was always evangelizing about innovation. Not a peep out of him after watching someone's idea shot down.

This event and others made me realize that "that won't work" was an integral part of my company's culture. I guess it's about risk. In a company culture like this, there is no upside for a manager to try anything new.
The shady stuff that the world's billionaires are doing is in large parts already publicly reported, and already pretty appaling, and few people seem to care. Not downright criminal stuff, but by now I doubt that changes anything.

> "Garbage collection" implies dynamic lifetime determination.

It does not. It refers to automatic memory reclamation.

Generally, memory reclamation policies (whether automatic or manual) are closely tied to lifetimes—a sound program does not attempt to reuse objects which are still alive—but that is incidental in this context. In rust, programs generate garbage, do not explicitly clean it up or free it, and it is reused for new allocations; that is garbage collection.

Reference counting, far from rudimentary, is a highly effective means of garbage collection which works quite well for certain types of programming languages and programs. (Notable examples include switch/objc, nim, and apl.) It has fallen out of favour in recent times because popular languages in industry and academia encourage execution patterns that perform much better with tracing garbage collectors, but that is not in itself a mark against reference counters.

My thoughts on the upcoming UAPTF / UFO report
I can imagine major power or North Korea doing those sort of things when the circumstances come, but the 'rich people' part is pure non-sense.

First of all they have no interest in doing such.

Secondly, Attacking cable infrastructure using submarines is in effect a declaration of war (or act of terrorism). I understand this world gives you this illusion that money = power, but just remember who prints the currency, who owns the army. Only because this sort of things are not in your daily life so often like the rich people are doesn't mean they don't exist.

The last but not the least, they likely won't be rich at all when the governments of countries affected freezes their assets, which should be the least of their concerns if that actually happens.
