> Spoofed IP addresses used to be a much bigger problem on the Internet than they are today (many examples but see Smurf Attack).

Most of the large DDoS attacks are UDP reflection, the attacker spoofs the victims address and sends to chargen[1] servers or whatever. So spoofing is still alive and well.

[1] yes really, the worst ones are people who install Microsoft's Services for Unix and enable the chargen server to the public... It sends a 64k fragmented response. Thanks Microsoft.

Elephant in the room.
It's not that simple for non-technical organizations, I'm afraid. Simply embedding Google Analytics (the de facto website traffic analyzer, for better or worse) is enough to violate GDPR, and embedding Google Analytics is very often a simple checkbox in the web host admin portal.

The "technical resources" involved in identifying EU traffic is nearly always just a simple IP block list, where one can often just checkmark a list of countries in their web host's portal.

I think you grossly overestimate the technical prowess required to operate a website these days, and I think many grossly overestimate the actual real-world impact of GDPR outside the EU borders.
this is along the lines of my thinking. people organize and summarize data before throwing it into spreadsheets, where deep learning models do their thing by generating new representations from raw data.

in a sense, most data in spreadsheets is compressed and deep learning models prefer to find their own compression that best suits the task at hand.

or in human terms: "these spreadsheets are garbage. i can't work with this. can you bring me the raw data please?" :)
Agreed. I would say Lichess is superior in actual gameplay (apart from multi-premove, but that's not available in mobile on chess.com as well), but chess.com is better in the extra features. Their analysis is much more user friendly, especially for beginners.

I play on both, but I often find myself going to chess.com to analyze a lichess game, and I don't think I've ever done the opposite.
Since most robo calls are also illegal scams even if the call was legal all we really need is verified numbers so that we can use phone records to catch the person making the call.

Either you've got the question wrong, or your position is more disagreeable than you think. It seems to me that the question is whether Chinese X should be regulated when American X is not regulated. It is still technically X vs Y but the justification is far less obvious to me (when compared to justifying that we can regulate tobacco despite a lack of regulation of alcohol).

> The most important decision was shifting to extreme ultraviolet lithography at a time when Intel thought it was much too expensive and difficult to implement; TSMC, backed by Apple’s commitment to buy the best chips it could make, committed to EUV in 2014, and delivered the first EUV-derived chips in 2019 for the iPhone.

Can somebody here correct me if I am wrong, but my impression was that Intel did commit early to EUV, with initial plans to start high volume manufacturing in line with other fabs (initial schedule was to introduce EUV in 2017 [1], it just got postponed many times), but they just failed in their execution.

You can setup multiple pre-moves, but each one takes a minimum of 0.1 seconds. Lichess doesn't have this minimum time requirement, so it doesn't let you setup multiple pre-moves.

I much prefer Lichess' system for Bullet.

> I feel like during my lifetime overall nutritional guidance has swung on plenty of things. One example would be eggs - "those are good for you, no wait they're bad and drive up your cholesterol, no wait, the cholesterol in eggs doesn't seem to raise cholesterol in humans who consume eggs".

I feel like the major trend is acknowledging that there aren't many singular things which are bad enough for you to materially move the needle. Health (especially as you age) has a lot luck involved.

Sure, you're not going to fare very well if you're constantly stressed, never exercise, eat terribly, do a ton of drugs, and have an awful sleep schedule.

But whether or not you put kale or romaine in your green smoothie is not going to move the needle in a way that matters. Just like whether or not you have some eggs for breakfast most days or not is not going to materially move the needle.

It seemed like the "health craze" really started somewhere around the early 90s, when people started thinking about all these different vitamins they should be taking and foods they should be eating. I'm guessing this is just when people really started to market and push these products. It probably took 30 years to undo that and convince people they can settle down and there's way more important health decisions one can make than whether or not you eat eggs.
I never said there was a problem, I said that having _both_ vastly increases usability. If you're the kind of person who looks at a DOS era UI and goes "this is fine, what's the problem?" then there isn't one for you.

But if you're the kind of person who wants to see terminal graphics when they're doing terminal work, and a normal user interface that follows the OS conventions that every other user interface uses as well when you're doing "normal" work, then having both installed so you can run each in the context they make sense in vastly improves your computerin' life.

(And if you're the kind of person who rarely has to use the terminal (or only ever use the terminal inside a code editor, IDE, or other application that follows OS UI conventions) or literally never uses a terminal, then something that looks like a 1980's DOS application is almost certainly going to be a hard nope)

I have multiple G Suite accounts for business, and a @gmail.com account for everything else. All personal and subscribed and Google paid services (like Youtube Premium) go to the @gmail account. If/when I move the domains elsewhere, I still have my "tied to Google consumer services" account separated. I realized this was probably the way to go back when their chat and "Google Family" services wouldn't map to G Suite accounts.

I would like to, and plan to, leave, but for now, this is the better way.

> So I'm pretty sure you don't know what you are talking about.

Trust me, I intimately know what I’m talking about.

Without personal jabs, let me explain in a bit more detail:

App in VM (kinda posix) -> ext4 (repackaging of data to fit into “blocks”) -> NVMe driver -> (Google’s virtualization/block device stack, aka Vanadium/PD) -> CFS. The moment data got into ext4, it goes through legacy stack that only exists because many years ago there were hardware devices that had 512 byte sectors (as illustration, upgrade to 4K took forever). All repackaging, IO scheduling to work with 4kb block abstraction is wasted performance and cycles.

From customer perspective, all they want is VM with scalable file system. With Kubernetes, etc. they don’t want to ever think about volume size, which is major hurdle to size correctly and provision. BTW, both small and large customers run into volume sizing issues all the time.

There are also internal customers that need posix-compliant storage “on borg” because they run oss lib/software.

Anyway, optimal stack in this case is to plug in into VM on a file system level. Now, is it hard problem to solve? Yes. Would it eliminate PD? No, still required for legacy cases. Would it be enormously beneficial for modern conteinerized cloud workloads? Absolutely.

There was a famous case of one volcano in Iceland that stranded a bunch of airplanes resulting in net greenhouse savings. That is the amount of greenhouse gas that the volcano emitted was less then what the airplanes would have otherwise emitted if the volcano wouldn’t have stranded them.

That was a fairly small eruption though and didn’t emit a lot of greenhouse gas. There was another eruption last year in the same place as this one, and it was even smaller. This one seems to be larger then last years eruption, but I would be surprised if this one actually emitted more greenhouse gas over the next year then e.g. Iceland’s aluminum industry.

So to answer your question if we can afford it. The answer is yes. We are experiencing about average number of volcanoes globally, and the greenhouse gas emissions of volcanoes has remained steady for the last few millions years, and we are not seeing any increase. In comparison human greenhouse gas emissions are rising dramatically, we should probably focus our efforts there.

EDIT: Here is a short article (in Icelandic) about the greenhouse gas emissions of last year’s eruption: https://kjarninn.is/skodun/eldgos-og-co2/

Did not read TFA and if it doesn't focus a lot on the 10 nm/Intel 7 botch it's not fine, but I've read TSMC's very roughly equivalent 7 nm node was also non-EUV but less aggressive than Intel's. And it succeeded unlike Intel, which then made it natural to start introducing in production EUV in their 7+ node. Here I suspect gaining real experience in chips delivered to customers trumps whatever volume you'll end up doing.
I don't mind some common sense controls, as long as it doesn't end up in jail time for anyone. The bill doesn't make the substances legal to sell - that part can be determined later. I think just being able to grow one's own personal supply legally is a fair compromise.

Conditions may be different now, with the internet at all, but the fact is this has been tried a number of times by individual dealers, and at least in one very large scale circumstance that I can recall - the now defunct Saturn division of GM. Saturn famously touted fixed, non-negotiable sales prices as a feature of their vehicles, part of the total package of the car similar to its warranty and so on.

Even with all of the might of GM behind it, and with the cars themselves having a distinct position in the market with a few unusual features no other brand had, such as polymer body panels that were lightweight, rust proof and easy to repair (by simply replacing entirely), Saturn only lasted a few years before folding.

I was selling cars myself for a few months during their peak, and recall that they mainly got used as a rhetorical backstop by customers who would bring in an invoice for our vehicle (printed out from edmunds.com, which had just barely become a thing at the time), and argued that they should pay some absurdly small fixed number ($100, $300, possibly $1000 if they were buying an NSX, our "halo" vehicle) over invoice to get a fixed price like saturn.

This was a couple years before dealerships had organically responded to the internet by adding all sorts of hidden costs that do not show up on an invoice to the base price (in addition to the usual ones) so unlike today the invoice was literally our invoice price. But they were not there to buy a Saturn they were there to buy a different brand of car.
100% agreed and that's what I've been trying to promote within the company. It's simply hard to get the momentum up to really affect this change. Nobody likes the idea that things have to get a little slower (because you add a new layer between the data) before they can get faster.

Yes, but the worker is in front of the cache (have to pay for an invocation even if cached), and the worker only interacts with the closest cache edge node, not the entire CDN.

But yeah, there are a few hacky ways to work around things. You could have two different URLs and have the client check if the item is stale, if so, call the worker which updates it.

I'm doing something similar with durable objects. I can get it to be persistent by having a cron that calls it every minute and then setting an alarm loop within the object.

It's just super awkward. It feels like a design decision to drive monetization. Cloudflare would be perfect if they let you have a persistent durable object instance that could update global CDN content

They lost me at ‘amperage’
The college textbook publishing industry seems to have always sucked.

When I was in college, textbook companies started rolling out "online portal codes". For many core classes, the industry sells these codes to submit homework that require a new license each semester, regardless of whether your textbook is new or used. They cost hundreds of dollars apiece, the software sucks, and it doesn't fit with the coursework. It's clearly a grift.

I swore back in college that if I ever made it big, I'd hire academics to write textbooks to license under Creative Commons, then push them to state representatives, university presidents, and students.

This industry is part of the problem. The other is easily accessible loans with no spending caps, and college admins with no desire to stop growing.

Oh, I actually meant to link to this paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2205.10487.pdf

They make an argument that there might exist an unfortunate dup/unique data ratio in a dataset, where a model decides to memorize a frequently repeated chunk of data which is big enough to justify accuracy degradation happening for the rest of the data, but not too big to make memorization difficult (section 5.1). The degradation they show is substantial - almost as if going from 800M to 400M model.
I hate them with a passion: do not mistake a question based on how the world seems to work for being happy with how the world works. If I use this, and it gets litigated out of existence, I'm right back to "okay so NOW what do I use?".
