I honestly wonder if parent plugged their MacBook into power on their left? I’ve found my meet conferences are unbearable when my MBP is plugged into the wrong side and then overheats and throttles the CPU.

He only has to make the lower receiver, which is a totally inert block of metal (or even plastic). This can even be 3D printed.

The lowers are the only regulated part in the USA.
> Doesn't the block generation become faster with PoS and thereby increase the supply?

In the most technically-correct sense: No, switching out PoW with PoS does not guarantee faster block times. There can exist a PoS chain with 10 minute block times, just like there can exist PoW chains with <1 min block times.

I'm guessing that this opinion came from the early days of Ethereum, where the roadmap for the transition to PoS was still unclear. Now, as ETH's switching system is being tested on its testnets & is more or less finalized, it's been made clear that the block times will only decrease from 14 seconds to 12 seconds - A ~14% decrease, which is significant, but not by much.

https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/consensus-mechanisms...

> Whereas under proof-of-work, the timing of blocks is determined by the mining difficulty, in proof-of-stake, the tempo is fixed. Time in proof-of-stake Ethereum is divided into slots (12 seconds) and epochs (32 slots).

The truth of the matter is that an increase in block speed will compromise on either decentralization or security/finality: Increasing ETH's TPS will compromise on one of the two. As such, there's been a shift in focus from relying on ETH for everything, & instead towards allowing ETH to focus on security & decentralization, while the L2 solutions (Arbitrum, Optimism, zkSync, etc.) focus on scaling the TPS, utilizing/renting ETH's security for their own benefit. This way, ETH's overall ecosystem gets to scale up, while still maintaining its security & decentralization.
One thing that bothers me about the twitch player comparatively, is that YouTube will pause/play when you click the center of the video. Twitch requires you to navigate to a small icon
103 Early Hints is RFC 8297. It defines a status code. Because status codes are an HTTP semantic, they are common across all HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2, and HTTP/3. There's nothing special that needs to be done from a specification perspective, early hints _can_ work on any version. Whether implementations support that is a slightly different matter.
Sometimes I wonder how bright nana or papa really is as a result.

If you won't dig into even an iPhone's settings to learn what's available, what it can do, good luck to you. That curiosity and willingness to play around, accompanied with Google searches when they don't know what something does, is critical in making it in the world today. Or if you remain a rube, and they will, you'll get scammed someday because you're not on the top of your game mentally. Just lazying it up.

I've come to two solutions. Either Bitwarden or KeePass with only a mobile client to begin with. If they are managing that, then I graduate them to clients on multiple systems and the integration advantages that brings.

I'm a KeePass Windows and Strongbox Pro user on iOS myself. Prefer to keep that database where I want it. Bitwarden is probably the ticket for most people though. If you start them on mobile only, it helps a lot.
At the end of the day, this is optional and hidden by default.

Compared to command + tab or exposé, this approach is more visual and direct, which seems to be a better fit for a form factor that offers much more screen real estate.

RFC 9114: HTTP/3
Explainability isn’t an issue in humans, because we prove our findings. An AI cannot typically do so, unless trained to do so. Formal systems such as mathematics can be proven via AI. But an AI output isn’t proof it’s a statistical probability. You still have to go and take measurements / samples (what have you) to prove your case. Further, you must make a hypothesis, then run experiments - things an AI cannot do.
I still have a 2008 Mac Pro (tower). At the time it was possible to order the bottom of the line system and add your own memory, video and drives, just like a "normal" PC. I think it cost about $3000 new which was still the most I'd ever paid for a computer. Picked it up from an Apple store. I used it as a home workstation for work and music and a gaming rig by dual booting to windows -- which no longer works. Did a few upgrades, video card, SSD, more memory. It's a dual quad core Xeon, 32gb of ram and 2tb of storage. It's almost 15 years old now and it still runs fine.

Except!

I feel like there's been a lot of forced obsolescence for sure. Things really went downhill like 2-3 years ago. Gradual lack of OS and driver support made it harder to use as a music machine. Boot camp was no longer supported without some crazy firmware hacks that I didn't bother with. I just got an xbox/ps instead. After some combination of OS and driver updates, my firewire audio devices no longer worked. The USB Audio devices I tried were always terrible (keeping the machine from sleeping properly).

It can still mostly log in to iCloud and iMessage, but there are weirdnesses. I did pick up a used firewire interface that does work with this OS (El Capitan).

But I really think the hardware could be made to work on the latest OS with very little effort.
Virtualizing macOS for enterprise is a good point. I wonder IBM/Apple want to do this.
This whole argument revolves around exchanges not having a 'higher tier' user account profile model, which is simply not the case. Basically all serious OTC desks running out of exchanges work on this model and are happy to accomodate depending on your liquidity. If you are making any decent amount of money mining, they will be more than happy to enable a more substantial rotating deposit/withdrawal profile for preferred customer accounts.
>> I can't get past the question about the conditions under which the disclosures became deemed necessary. Everything else definitely never ought to be clear or you have a problem with arbitrary decision making agency out of hand.

> I honestly don't understand your reply, could you reword it please? Thanks.

I also find it confusing.

Here's my understanding: the commenter is asking something akin to this question: Why did Snowden's deem his disclosures to be necessary? Based on my understanding of Snowden, he deemed his disclosures necessary because he views these NSA programs as unjust and/or undemocratic and would continue (and probably get worse) if not revealed.

>> Everything else definitely never ought to be clear or you have a problem with arbitrary decision making agency out of hand.

I'm unclear on what this sentence as a whole means. First, I wonder if "never ought" was a typo and the commenter meant just "ought". Second, I'd guess that "arbitrary decision making agency out of hand" probably was meant to be "arbitrary agency decision making out of hand", suggesting that the NSA was overstepping its bounds.
Ahh, the modern take on war and nations, the desire for moral superiority and the silly game of pretending there are rules in war.

As hard as it maybe to wrap one's head around this, historically, war was a way to obtain resources, or rather resolve conflicts over resources. Genghis wanted a resource for his horses, he resolved it. If your city was wiped out by him, it was your fault for being weak. You should not expect peace between nations or compassion. Nations are built on stolen land, their borders drawn by blood. We live in a world where nuclear powers maintain balance and modern technology has resolved many of the world 's resource scarcity issues. Our countries are ruled by law, not people. People allowed themslves to be ruled by the most cruel and ruthless in the past because that meant obtaining the most resources for them, even if done on a wh im to satisfy their rulers. People sit back and judge empires from the romans to the british and criticize their morals. It is utterly absurd. I mean, even these days the US invades the middle east and Russia its neighbors for resources. And the terrible thing about democracy is that people think the whole world runs on some system of rules where people's wills and lives matter at a global scale. It sounds nice but that isn't reality. It can be that way in a country but between countries, when you have food shortage your government will not hesitate to wipe out cities and commit genocide on your behalf. My point is that such criticism should be based on reality not on how things should be in an ideal world. The primary directive of any government is not just to secure its borders but the nation itself, whatever that stands for. Be it the elected ruler's will or the monarch's whim.

There is no password so it can't be a password manager. Without a password it avoids all the downsides of passwords like having to store them securely on both ends, rainbow tables, credential reuse, weak password choice, and having to remember them. It's a cryptographic keypair manager. Key management is always the barrier to really good real world cryptography, so I'm heartily in favour. Anything that makes it possible for regular people to use strong cryptography is a huge win.

Since it's all just FIDO2/webauthn under the hood it's hardly lockin. It's a bit of Apple UI tinsel to make life simple and their excellent icloud keychain sync.

Why people recommend Analogue devices is beyond me.
Until there is enough renewable generation capacity to satisfy load and also charge storage, building more renewables is the right place for capital expenditure. After there is enough capacity will be time to build out storage. (Otherwise you would need to burn NG to charge the storage.)

Fortunately, storage cost is falling even faster than wind or solar ever did, so by the time we need much, it will be very, very cheap.

At present the main value in storage is load smoothing, where you don't need much.
Thank you for your service fellow e-waste reduction brother.

I've been getting my equipment 2nd-hand off of ebay. Recently "upgraded" to an HP fanless mini-pc (Core i5, 16GB) to make more room on my desk. Since Moore's law is practically dead, I didn't see the point in paying ~$800 for a new one when the 5-yr-old scratch-and-dent model was only $135, and any performance difference has been imperceptible under my use cases. I work mostly in the terminal anyway. The previous computer was also more than fast enough, and so was the one before it.

Only "game changer" for me has been the SSD. I will never go back to platters for an interactive machine.

I also have a really outstanding clicky-keys keyboard I picked up on alibaba a long time ago, and it disassembles easily enough for an occasional run through the dishwasher.
I have this idea that I can create node with old hardware to run erlang/elixir. the applications in my head are infinity... this gives me hope.

My first iPad, I believe it was the third generation: I would have never used it if it were as slow as it has become today. It also lost some synchronization options, though I don’t recall what it was.

That being said: I kept my 2013 MacBook Pro retina until a few months ago, one year after a battery replacement which ended up breaking other parts and becoming to expensive to fix. Otherwise it ran perfectly fine and the high quality screen was almost on par to current screens.

I think we agree on NHST. I expend a lot of effort to remind students (and colleagues) that the popular interpretation of significance tests gets the direction of implication backwards.
Yeah, I would get that battery replaced... if it ruptures, that's a metal-air fire that you do not want your parents to deal with....
That’s not a “discovery” in the sense that it measured and predicted something new. An AI cannot predict something new, it can predict something it’s seen. In the case you mentioned, it played against itself a billion times until it “discovered” a good strategy.

There’s conflating of terms here.
Then why are you starting discussions at HN?
Awesome! My main laptop is still a 2011 Thinkpad X201. It's a beast, been all over the world and dropped countless times but it still works perfectly fine.

It's missing a couple function keys (which I never use) and I finally replaced its battery this year after growing annoyed of having only 30 minutes to an hour of battery life.

I love my little Thinkpad. Keeping up with shiny tech can be fun, but there's also pleasure in using and maintaining your timeworn tools.
> The remaining all said basically they’re at the mercy of what Toyota makes and decides to allocate to their dealership.

This is what the guy at my sister-in-law's dealership said after I got on the phone with him and asked him what the heck was going on with her order when what she was telling me didn't make sense. Would have been nice for him to admit that up front instead of just taking her money and smiling.

In my division, there is an infrastructure team and product teams. Those platform type projects are handled by the infrastructure team. In a product only team, it will always be difficult to work on such projects.

Ultimately, the answer ties back into the identity question: what is SRE?
I’d argue all research is the same, or at least should be. I left academia after my PhD because I realized it’s meant for prodigies, not regular people like me. I had to leave even though my advisors tried to convince me that I’d have the best shot of all their trainees at being a good professor. I think I held what is needed of a good professor at an even higher standard.
Yup. Really hope PWAs don't go the way of web components. There's been some genuinely incredible work done on that set of APIs and I'd hate to see it looked over.

The web is in a really funny place right now. It's easier to synthesize audio to read your blogpost to the user in whatever dialect you want than it is to style a number input consistently across browsers

Shorting in itself isn't all evil. It prevents stock from ballooning too hard. It's very risky since in case you lose, your losses can be astronomical.
I remember when they were making cell phone battery replacements (when that was a thing) -- are they still doing this with laptops today?
I do the same thing with my 2018 Intel MBP. It's nice being able to go on trips with only your phone charger.
Correct. Their automated system is rejecting the builds. It seems to think they're using private APIs. This problem seems to be affecting users of all the major cross platform solutions, but it might not be exclusive to them.

If these were your two requirements, you wouldn't need an Air or MBP either.
The wrong answer in this case is quite shoddy indeed.

Terrestrial Energy's rebuttal is scathing. For example

The authors then quote a value of greater than 10^12 n/cm2-sec as the IMSR’s thermal flux reaching the vessel; they conclude this will make the used vessel very radioactive. However, they reference a university paper (REF 29), whose authors clearly state they are unfamiliar with the IMSR design and that they merely made assumptions to do their modeling.

There are lots of other inaccuracies.

Here's another quite grievous mistake. The whole assertion that SMR's produce "increase the volume of nuclear waste in need of management and disposal, by factors of 2 to 30" relies in the calculation for sodium-cooled reactors, where the factor was found to be 30. For all other reactors, the factor was 5 or less.

Now, for sodium-cooled reactors, their claim is that the vast majority of the waste (about 75%) is the sodium itself:

Ultimately, the sodium coolant generated several hundred cubic meters of low-level radioactive waste. The 30-MWth Toshiba 4S reactor might generate 115 m3/GWth-y of contaminated pyrophoric sodium coolant in need of treatment, conditioning, and disposal.

They forget to mention how low level the radioactive waste is. Fortunately, wikipedia gives us the answer [1]

Sodium has only one stable isotope, sodium-23. Sodium-23 is a weak neutron absorber. When it does absorb a neutron it produces sodium-24, which has a half-life of 15 hours and decays to stable isotope magnesium-24.

So those 115 cubic meters of waste become completely non-radioactive after one month.

Wups. I'd misplaced a comma & added a zero. 1,000 m/s ~= 2,200 mph, and that's what I'd used in calculating.

That said, I'm still not sure I'm using the calculator correctly, though I've checked against a few alternate methods and designs (e.g., the Stanford Torus, at 1.8 km / 1 RPM) and results check out.

>Having a cursory knowledge of science is not enough, you are competing against people who read hundreds of papers

I've read hundreds of papers on security and privacy. People make flippant comments like "You can't work on my team unless you have a PhD" followed shortly out of band by comments like "I'm the head of the Montreal office".

I currently find it difficult to study those topics anymore, since there seems to be some fundemental disconnect between my actions and results.

(And then, in parallel, thanks to deleting Facebook, I know a lot more about celebrity gossip and geopolitcs than I used to, so sometimes the old self soothing method of watching a movie isn't as fun, depending on who was involved.)

They’ve essentially required that they approve people before they can take on bounties, so they also have the chance to deny bounties arbitrarily (before any work is done). Unlike the usual scheme of bounties posted and randomly fulfilled (bounded total payout, but no control on time), or security bounties where people randomly show up (unbounded total payout and time)

So they have the opportunity to control how much bounty is actually “out there” at any given moment, beyond simply a posting the list of bounties in existence. If it’s too many bounties closing at the same time, or more total payout than they’re willing to accept, they’ve given themselves enough control to manage it.

Of course, this requires them to manage it effectively but it’s not fundamentally a bad idea

You can, in fact, put shovel to ground, and shovel is to ground.

But it takes time to build out a wholesale replacement for existing global infrastructure. Fortunately, it takes much, much less time and expense than replacing with nukes, and much, much less expense than continuing to operate existing infrastructure.

We could have started this decades ago, and not be facing imminent catastrophe. Jimmy Carter (a former nuclear engineer) tried to get us on that road.
The overwhelmingly biggest impediment to wholesale replacement for radically cheaper energy is social and structural inertia, chiefly apathy in the ruling class. Ignorance is the largest contributor.
