It joins you into a thing which connects all users of SyncThing. I said "cloud", you said "p2p mesh" the blog said "a fully operational node of Syncthing". No real difference there.

From the syncthing website "Private. None of your data is ever stored anywhere else other than on your computers". From their open protocol page "Relay is a service which relays data between two devices which are not able to connect to each other directly otherwise." How can they claim "None of your data is ever stored anywhere else" if any relay node could save your data as it's transferred through them?

Fine it's "Encrypted. All communication is secured using TLS". But we know that TLS encryption can be flawed (see deprecation of TLS1.3), and we know it can be implemented poorly (see OpenSSL vulnerabilities) and we know metadata and protocol analysis is a thing (analysing how much syncs to/from each node, how often, etc).

What does "Authenticated. Every device is identified by a strong cryptographic certificate." mean if you don't have to setup a certificate authority or buy a verified SSL certificate or use LetsEncrypt or generate a public/private keypair? Would you recognise your SyncThing certificate if you saw it?

How well do you know the SyncThing protocol? Do you know someone in a far away country cannot find a flaw in the implementation which allows them to sync to your device, or insert themselves as a relay node?

That depends on the crop. Tree shakers and orchard/tree nut related equipment tends to be pretty standardized, and a lot of crops can share a small(-ish) common pool of tractor attachments, but if you choose your diversifications poorly you could be on the hook for some hefty equipment costs. Also, I would lean on cash crops where the SoTA is harvesting by migrant labor. There is definitely a knowledge/planning component to multi-cropping.

I’ve been working on a search engine for Gemini space [1] and have been reading a lot of early search engine papers including this one. This Google paper is pretty good but I prefer the description of Mercator (which became Alta Vista’s crawler)

https://courses.cs.washington.edu/courses/cse454/09sp/papers...

There is a updated paper describing Mercators design about a year later when it moved to scale on multiple machines and became a continuous crawler:

Also helpful is the entire Modern Informational Retrieval textbook which is available online and dives into indexing, full text search, etc

https://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/information-retrieval-book....

It’s fun because many challenges DEC, Google, and others had in the late 90s can largely be solved by modern machines (disk seek times, having to do appends in bulk, storaging reverse indexes in RAM, etc)

For what it’s worth, I am a native English speaker from the UK and living in Germany, and I kind of agree with you about how the word “woke” appears to get used in practice. I’ve certainly never witnessed a member of a minority saying “your support for people like me is just insincere woke nonsense, stop it”, despite my ex being a stereotype of Champagne socialism and therefore getting the opportunity to see what happens when she did make mistakes while trying to support minority causes.

If this is a US cultural thing, that might also explain it.
> If [an Apple] competitor could actually deliver better silicon than them, they'd be going to AMD, because AMD actually builds custom solutions and can be coaxed into at least getting decent security (see: Xbox), but that still leaves the power management gap on the table, and would force another ISA transition.

AMD has an ARM architectural license, they've released ARM processors (e.g., the Opteron A-series, the AMD Platform Security Processor, etc.), and were at one point experimenting with a common ARM/x86 platform (Project Skybridge).

If Apple wanted a third party to design an ARM-compatible processor for them, AMD would be capable of doing so. Indeed, when there was speculation last year about AMD developing an ARM processor, I suggested that Apple would be the only customer where that would make sense.[1] However, given the success of M1 and Apple's scaling strategy for it, it's unlikely that AMD has anything to offer right now that Apple would want.

Kazakhstan and Russia governments want to end this the faster way possible to avoid another Ukraine situation [1]. They will remove everything, Internet, electricity to calm things down.

The thing that ignited this massive protest was that fuel subsidies were being removed [2]. But they were extended again after this humongous backslash [3]. Still, subsidizing energy is not a good idea when your country economy can't afford it.

I hope this tragic situation gets solved with the least deaths possible (since peacefully sounds unfeasible now).

Just because some (often already rich) people are capable to funnel some of the money out of governments, it doesn't mean that governments are supporting innovation.

This mechanisms just enable more government corruption and shady deals done by people who acquired power in the government.

I think VC and private investors are a much healthier mechanism than stealing money with taxes under the threat of violence (of which the government holds the legal monopoly) and then redistributing it to "random" people.

On building roads and infrastructure: are we sure that money was a good investment?

I would be curious to see a world in which railtracks and trains won over interstate motorways and trucks.

Maybe we would have already green electric trains instead of trucks burning oil and a population dependant on cars.

Maybe we would have smaller cities where people can just walk wherever they need to, most of the times.

Maybe we would be more dependant on local produce over stuff imported from far away.

We will never know.
Is there something somewhere in between renting and home ownership? Something where you can live simply without having to deal with the extra responsibilities of home ownership, but where you also don't have the risk of getting bought out and evicted? I guess that's like rent control, but it wouldn't apply to every property. Is this kind of what Section 8 is?

I think this is a fascinating take. It certainly explains the predominance of woke dialogue especially on the left, which in the Anglo Saxon sphere probably suffers with a greater oversupply of elites.

Putting aside the housing/humanitarian issue, which I am sympathetic too, I find it disingenuous to try to connect some of these deaths to the lack of housing.

One person died of brain cancer. Another had jaw cancer. Others had chronic kidney issues and were on dialysis, which even in the best of cases, is associated with severe mortality risks and much shortened lifespans.

I am sympathetic to the fact that people in such conditions should not be left to die out in the cold, but I don't think being homeless killed them, severe illness did. If they remained in this housing, I would bet they would still have died. I know very privileged people that unfortunately also died way too young and unfairly from cancer or other diseases.

The same way as always, by people paying for them. Just because people pirate, doesn't mean they don't pay.

The fact is, piracy is widespread and profits are growing. There doesn't seem to be a big effect of piracy on the market as a whole. People do understand the concept of paying for what they use. The right way to battle piracy is to make payment super easy for the kind of use people expect.

As a more practical matter, I see the fight against piracy resulting in the creation of totalitarian systems of control on the internet, along with systems to block people from having control over their devices and data, which I do not agree with.

I agree that people should be paid something for their work. I also postulate that letting people with lower income pirate the majority of their entertainment results in a better market in the long run, when they (hopefully) get the means to contribute back. I see the current Draconian measures as not helping anyone, except the people implementing them and the less savoury branches of government.

random(4): Fortuna: allow increased concurrency
Add experimental feature to increase concurrency in Fortuna. As this
diverges slightly from canonical Fortuna, and due to the security
sensitivity of random(4), it is off by default. To enable it, set the
tunable kern.random.fortuna.concurrent_read="1". The rest of this commit
message describes the behavior when enabled.

random(4): Flip default Fortuna generator over to Chacha20
The implementation was landed in r344913 and has had some bake time (at
least on my personal systems). There is some discussion of the motivation
for defaulting to this cipher as a PRF in the commit log for r344913.

As documented in that commit, administrators can retain the prior (AES-ICM)
mode of operation by setting the 'kern.random.use_chacha20_cipher' tunable
to 0 in loader.conf(5).

The idea that rapid tests are less sensitive and therefore not valuable is summer-2020 thinking and outdated.

Rapid tests are perfectly fine and should be counted by health departments.

Case in point. My family of 4 all tested positive on rapid tests. 3/4 of us had symptoms. None of us received PCR tests because the next available appointments (other than a 6 hour wait at a state run testing center) were a week away.

Thats 4 people not counted. And we were part of an outbreak that included 3 other families that all tested positive via rapid tests.

This is a worse title.

It is less informative ("how many people possibly died...")

It is wordier and less catchy, both bad for a headline.

Finally, it introduces speculation ("possibly resulting in some people dying") where the original article has none ("several years later, 3 out of 5 are dead..." you can conclude it was related, or not, but the headline doesn't take a position).
You're right that both iterate through something but `for` loops and comprehensions aren't used as if they were interchangeable.

For example, you'll sometimes see people do bad stuff like this:

>>> lst = []
>>>
>>> [lst.append(i + i) for i in range(10)]
[None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None, None]
>>>
>>> lst
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18]
>>>

When they should be doing this:

>>> lst = []
>>>
>>> for i in range(10):
... lst.append(i + i)
...
>>> lst
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18]
>>>

Or just this:

>>> lst = [i + i for i in range(10)]
>>>
>>> lst
[0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18]
>>>
I am curious whether creating "welfare cities" would be viable. I get that people don't want to create ghettos, but politically homelessless is currently preferable to higher property taxes and density. That is just our current reality.

You could locate them in areas that naturally would have a low cost of living (mild climate to keep energy costs low, few natural disasters, no prior pension fund debt for services, etc) and design them to be cheap and efficiently provide some services with a subsidized bus into town. You could avoid restrictions on zoning and building codes that prevent housing that is low cost.

The case for building skills on more than one cloud
Society is getting so complicated that spending the time to find the actual right answer is supplanting various "going with your gut" heuristics since its about 50-50 as to if picking the simple answer is right or the counterintuitive answer is right. The whole "blink" thing of knowing the right answer is deeply busted.

We still value people who strongly assert what they think is the correct answer quickly though and view that as a sign of intelligence (and to be fair it is, but its more about the intelligence of knowing how to convince rather than the intelligence of knowing what is correct).

One thing completely left out of the discussion is the aspect of time. It takes lots of work and time to hire somebody and make them perform at their best at contributing to the business (especially in technical roles). I’ve seen this underestimated more times that I can count. Throwing new (either to the company or to the problem) people at a problem will almost never speed up a project. Hiring done right is an investment - not only of time, but also of short term productivity - that will start paying off after months at best. People react taken aback when they offer you 3 engineers to get that project done in 4 months instead of 5 and you tell them that this will not make this project run better but will help with the next.

The US Federal Government is extremely limited in its ability to impose lockdowns or other NPIs on the states, much in the same way that in 2020, Trump could not force them to be open.
