You didn't try hard. Blockchain is clearly different from a centralized database.

1) Noone can arbitrarily change the contents of the blockchain, the concensus is needed to even append to it.

2) Blockchain solves the Byzantine generals problem.

3) Blockchain doesn't have one central authority (only the code that governs it, but the code must be first accepted by the participants). So if you build a payment system on top of a blockchain, there's no single entity that can freeze or seize your money.
25gb/s is nice. I am envious of locations that have a modern local fiber network and more options.

My 2 fiber connections are 500mb/s and each cost $350 to activate, $150/mo each not counting the costs for static IP's. Trenching it in was $3k. I'm more than happy with 500mb but the price could be lower. For my specific use cases it is less about bandwidth and more about latency/peering arrangements. I would personally be happy splitting as low as 100mb/s across many devices with fq_codel or cake and cdg on my little firewalls. I can't really complain though. The alternatives here are 4G LTE or Starlink.
Also, if you've ever been let off with a warning for some minor infraction, or had a generous client who ignored a late-by-a-few-hours delivery, or...
Actually I believe lithium ion fires are considered flammable liquid and not electric fires. It's a chemical reaction in the battery which isn't making electricity at the time but rather heat. Even then it's not a normal liquid fire since the oxidizer is in the battery rather than in the air.

> I’m seeing more and more legitimate stuff land in […] spam filter.

I use iCloud Mail with a custom domain, after having self-hosted my mail for many years.

I had some job interviews recently and in a couple of cases iCloud Mail was spam filtering the meeting invitations. Whoopsie!

Fortunately in both cases we had communicated about when the meetings would take place outside of the invitations. So even though I didn’t see the invitation mails, I knew when the meetings would take place, and in the case of lacking a link to join one of the meetings I got them to send me another link for the meeting.

And on the whole I will say that iCloud Mail is much more comfortable and convenient for me to use than continuing to self-host my mail. Both in terms of keeping spam out of my inbox, and in terms of mail that I send getting to other peoples inboxes rather than ending up in their spam.
I wonder if we’re in agreement?

The key word is ‘numerical’.

Maybe you’ve yet to see or do numerical analysis of both general relativity and quantum field theory but they are in fact both linear algebra.

Which as you point out is “fundamentally more accessible”.
I assume that this project has funding. I'd like to see the details of that.
To give some further context, I stumbled across this thought while reading how “community ids” are calculated. Community ids are commonly used to simplify joining/lookups for network security tools (suracata, zeek). They essentially concatenate the “quad tuple” (src ip/port, dest ip/port), and a “seed”, then run sha against it. I didn’t entirely understand the reason the authors chose sha (other than being security people who might have just reached for a crypto secure hash function). SHA is slow vs something like xxh, and given the number of sessions these things process, seemed like overkill. Further, it’s unclear to me what’s gained by using sha vs xxh or simply concatenating the bits. Then I started wondering about the downsides: whether it’s possible to have a false correlation because two sessions yielded the same sha digest.

>This rate applies to anyone who takes "too long" to claim a refund or pay a tax liability, so it is basically a zero-risk rate that applies to everyone regardless of their credit status.

Yeah but you're severely limited in how much money you can "save" in this account. Similarly, it's like arguing that rates are super high because you can get I-bonds at 7.12%, but neglecting to mention the most you can buy per year is 10k.
> Those who take the deal aren’t “locked in” by some dark legal magic.

No, they're locked in because this application has a likely proprietary data format, and conversion means you lose content... If you're even allow to export.

Proprietary programs act as data roach motels: your data checks in, and it dont check out.

> The customer gets source and permission to hack it. This is way more normal in business-to-business software deals than hackers tend to think.

Almost all proprietary software won't do this. And I've dealt with a lot of proprietary software. At best, I've seen an agreement that if the company died, they would get escrow sourcecode. And that was 1 company.
Meh, I find C syntax a total non-problem.

Don't think I've ever constructed a more complicated type ('directly' so to speak, i.e without typedefs) than an array of function pointers (array of interrupt handlers, taking no arguments, returning void).

99.999(repeating)% of the time I use a typedef for function pointers and nothing looks particular complicated.
New Ttrpg Release: Bella Ciao
Your home country has been invaded by its northern, fascist neighbor. While the initial months didn’t offer much change, the newly installed puppet government has begun rounding up dissidents and patriots alike. One day, a childhood friend warns you that the secret police are looking to arrest you for crimes against the newly formed fascist state. You are left breathless and must escape joining the growing resistance in your country. Your reasons for joining the partisans are yours alone, and they may be more complicated than simply running away from possible arrest and detention. Nevertheless, you must survive, you must fight, and, one day soon, you must liberate your people from the jackboot of fascism.

You can’t be certain of not falling into a different set of false beliefs, but you can look for inconsistencies in your beliefs and be less and less wrong.

1000/200mbit sounds more than enough to me, even for a family. I could have 1gbps but decided to stay with 250mbit because I just don't see how it would benefit me. Cloud vms are so cheap and tend to have lower ping to other services, so I go there if I really need faster speed.

I do agree about the general state of German internet connectivity though. However, seems to be catching up quickly, especially in rural areas.
Right before the 2008 downturn, I had an ING Direct (now Capital One) savings account, at that time with an APR over 8. At once point in the early 2000s it was doing a hell of a lot better than that.

It never recovered. I never saw that rate go above 1% ever since.
Here's another such example. The red flags are there, in hindsight:

Like it or not, this is the price of "privacy". Being able to easily pretend to be anyone, in the absence of an overarching identity framework -- and leaving identity recognition to the end user -- makes cybercrime a lot easier than it has to be.
What is the use case for this? How are you doing to utilise it? According to fast.com I have 29Mbps and I see no reason why I would need to go faster now. And to be said, I'm WFH all the time, I have a homelab and we stream movies, not once since pandemic started I had a thought I might need faster broadband. My home router has SFP port.

The artist as messenger - through inspiration or otherwise to bring us a new way of looking at things; the artist as theoretician - to build on work that has gone on before and progressively expand our horizons; the artist as performer - acting out a role in society.

I'd suggest all three are present in artists across the ages, but in recent times the last seems to have become more prominent.

I have the same internet provider and package. While 25Gbps is indeed basically unattainable to anything other than Init7's speedtest server, it's easy to exceed 1Gbps.

Software and driver updates exceed 1Gbps all the time, as do game updates/downloads through Steam.

Piracy also works really well. Downloading copyrighted media is perfectly legal in Switzerland and I was able to get ~7Gbps real-world speeds from Usenet without too much hassle.

It's also really handy for things like backups. As of writing, bandwidth to a Hetzner cloud server is ~5Gbps up/down with iPerf3.

I do agree that 25Gbps is more overkill/bragging rights than it is real utility but I think 10Gbps is an easy sell.

Keep in mind that there is no change at all to the monthly price of your internet by choosing these higher speeds. 10Gbps has the same monthly and setup costs as 1Gbps, you only have to pay a bit extra for hardware capable of dealing with 10Gbps, which is pretty affordable.

I’d rather have gas. Bumping an old can or machine full of it will never cause it to self-immolate.
At 25 Gbit/s your computer may likely not be able to keep up, unless you have NVME based SSD. We are talking about 3GB/s+ which my 24-drive NAS (old) can’t get beyond 2.6 GB/s with ZFS.

Absolute madness. But this kind of bandwidth isn’t meant for a single machine.

25Gb/s is just overkill for residential use. It's really cool that's it's available, but I fail to see a use case over my 500Mb/s home connection. Even for the servers that I manage and that are bandwidth-heavy, 10Gb/s is way overprovisioned for now.

WiFi goes up to 1Gb/s, if you're lucky. Sure, some WiFi-6 APs have a 2.5Gb/s connector, but that's not what you want or need, unless you're a high-density enterprise. WiFi-6E will possibly improve that a bit, but it will take WiFi-8 to get anywhere close to saturation.

Wired, you can do 10Gb/s for server systems, which are, amongst other things very loud and not very suitable for placement anywhere near humans. 2.5Gb/s support is spotty, and 1Gb/s still the only thing that works reliably.

So, exactly which residential application requires 25Gb/s is not very clear. Yes, it's cool, but not very useful, and faulting manufacturers (especially in times of crippling supply-chain limitations) for not fully supporting it is questionable.
Which is great, unless the “fees” include taxes. In which case the short version of this comment is “you can use it for tax evasion.”

> It's clear you prefer the final type as suffix. That just means you need another syntax or keyword (such as "let") to introduce a variable declaration.

Not really? Assuming type and variable names are lexically distinguishable via the lexer hack or, say, capitalization. Here’s an LR(1) grammar (in Grammophone[1] syntax) with postfix types and dereferencing:

stmt -> init ; | expr ; .

init -> decl | decl = expr .
decl -> dtor type .
dtor -> ambi | dfun .
dfun -> ambi ( decl ) | ambi ( darg ) | dfun ^ | dfun ( ) .
darg -> decl , | darg decl , .

expr -> summ | summ = expr .
summ -> prod | summ + prod .
prod -> post | prod * post .
post -> ambi | efun .
efun -> ambi ( expr ) | ambi ( earg ) | efun ^ | efun ( ) .
earg -> expr , | earg expr , .

ambi -> name | ambi ^ | ambi ( ) .

# Stub
type -> int .
name -> x .

It lacks the comma operator or Go-style grouping of multiple variables before a single type, but adding either one is easy and both is possible, though in the latter case the “ambi” hack would need to be extended. I’m willing to believe you could even do this with LL(1) / recursive descent, but the grammar structure would probably end up rather horrible.

Whether this is a smart idea as far as ergonomics of syntax errors go, I don’t know.

Telekom is cancer, especially their peering. 250mbits sounds fine though, I haven't upgraded from that yet, there are way too few instances where it restricts me to pay anything more.
The fastest internal SSD in a Mac now can write at 3.3GB/sec, so it would be able to keep up with 25Gbps connections, barely.

Average SSD write speeds are usually around 1GB/sec these days, but most folks could build a RAID of several SSDs and be able to keep up with such a connection, as well.

I would also assume that most folks who would bother to install 25Gbps, or anything close, probably have a lot of devices in their homes to take advantage of it at once.

Personally, I find it very hard to saturate the 1Gbps link I have. Most servers won't push more than around 200Mbps out to you, and I'm basically never doing 5 tasks at once that are that bandwidth-intensive. But it's nice to have some overhead, just for fun.
Damn, I missed the start of this performance. Does anyone know when the next is scheduled to start?

She's exactly right. Any science discovery that's worth its salt is falsifiable. If you can't validate your results there's a problem. It's the responsibility of every theorist to make testable predictions, and to communicate to experimentalists how they might be tested.

There's frankly not enough pressure within the theory community to disregard cagey theorists that actively avoid testing their predictions, or disregard the importance of testing in general.

“I don’t think something is good just because every alternative is worse.”
I think you defended my point for me with the glass panes example. Price is definitely a part of the optimization formula. In fact I think most trends in architecture are much easier to explain than in UI because they’re so clearly enabled by technology.

I don’t know much about brutalism, but I’m pretty sure it’s not a dominant trend. I feel most expensive new buildings are pretty and efficient in ways that weren’t feasible before. But when there’s a mainstream, there are rebels.

An interesting thought experiment is what buildings would look like if resources and labor were infinite—if we could essentially 3D print buildings. Whatever designs come out of that may be what we trend towards.

If you think numerical examples would help you probably need to read a quantum field theory book and understand that this is really complicated stuff.

1. I looked up bitcoin transaction fees dog, that's where those numbers came from (just converting the btc cost into dollars for ease of discussion). And yeah I don't care about whichever "low cost" blockchain is being talked about this week. Every single time one of those begins to become popular the scale problem shows itself and transaction times or fees (or both) go up as more nodes are added. Even proof of stake suffers from this.

2. Sure but none of these projects are run by reputable people and have shown deep misunderstandings of financial systems and human nature. Why would I trust any of these to be a replacement for my bank? And like, just from a tech perspective, doesn't the Hacker News community love talking about solving problems at scale, maximizing transactions per second at the minimum cost? How can you look at how absolutely, nightmarishly dog shit crypto networks are by design at handling high throughput and think that they are cool? You have traded every single engineering best practice away and are using brute computing power to solve the distributed double spend problem. I'm frankly deeply ashamed at how many engineers are willing to put up with this.

3. There is a fundamental difference between a 3 year planned migration and a migration that is stalled for 3 years with a fresh delay announcement every couple of months. You can say I'm being overly harsh but given how 95-99% of people in crypto are scammers and vaporware vendors I am forced to have a default pessimistic view of everything in the scene.

That narrative. I wasn't replying to you, but to the "am assuming my comment noting this will be gone soon too" statement as his comment was bound for a lot of dislikes and I wanted to give him an explanation that that has nothing to do with his perceived reality.

I don't care about the Stripe feature and it's not related to the topic of this post, except that both is crypto. If you haven't gotten any satisfying replies in the actual submission you linked why do you think it's necessary to ask about what Stripe is doing in an unrelated story just because it's about bad crypto practices and then complain that you don't get answers to the derail?

If you post a story that details that Stripe is actually scamming with crypto (more than just offering the option) I'm sure it would get traction.

No %#*^ing way is he saturating a 25gbit connection to download a PS5 game — not on Sony’s EMEA servers anyway. He’d download the largest PS5 game out there (Borderlands at 50GB) in a minute anyway — probably before he could reach the full 25gbit. On a gigabit connection, he could download Borderlands in under 7 minutes. If that’s too long too wait, then having a faster connection isn’t this guy’s problem.

The only use case I can think of would be bit torrent where lots of peers housed in server farms could lead to full saturation. I’ve seen download speeds at 150MB/s. That’s still a measly 1.2Gbit. But even when you’re talking about downloading remuxed 2160p files (~50-75GB) or the occasional collection (~100-200GB), I don’t see the need since it takes time to connect to the swarm and saturate those connections. Unless of course you want to seed it to the whole world.

Cool to have such big pipes, and I’m glad Switzerland is doing some good for science and proving to other ISPs that there’s profit to be had in avoiding rate limiting, but this is so wildly unnecessary.
