Again, this is kind of making my point. IPv4 had an excuse for being a bit crap, because it was designed in the early 1980s. IPv6 should have been much better than it is.

Adoption was always going to be slow, but it never needed to be this slow. If the designers had thought a but more about usability and not done stupid stuff like making the address space contain twice as many bits as it actually needs, then we would have transitioned by now.
I created my account here using a MitM Squid SSL Bump proxy in a VPS provider and posted from that proxy for a few years. Once in a blue moon I would get rate limited, I assume because this site was being abused. AFAIK my posts were never affected by using my VPS proxies. VPS IP's and Tor exit node IP's are often treated as equally hostile by many sites but not here. I avoid Tor because every time I tried it there was just too much latency for me and I don't like someone else controlling the exit node.

I eventually stopped using the proxy here on HN not because of this site but Cloudflare and Google would grief me on so many sites that people submit here which made it hard for me to review them and submitting everything to archive.ph is time consuming. I keep the MitM proxy around in case I need to go to a very hostile website or if I want to leave a funny PTR DNS record in their logs.
Most of Go dependencies these days come from your $GOPROXY, which by default (proxy.golang.org) is available over IPv6 just fine.

Surely the opposite effect must also exist - that the historical buildings we see today are the ones that survived because they were considered worth keeping - you wouldn't expect the ugly/shoddily-built ones to survive. However given there are entire streets with attractive historical buildings in many towns and cities I'm not sure either theory explains much - there are virtually no streets I've seen anywhere in the world with almost entirely attractive modern buildings.
Terrestrial radio links are similar in that they can be lower latency than fibre though spectrum concerns can come into play.

A perfect frequency can be kept easily, but it wouldn't remain synchronized with the rest of the grid.

You could try to drag the grid to a perfect frequency by lagging or leading the pattern. But that feels like it wouldn't work.
> Xonsh instead of bash (because you already know Python, why learn a new horrible language?)

Exactly, one horrible language is enough!
I do think corruption is inherent in most human endeavors to some degree and easier to continue in organizations of scale. So from that standpoint, I don't think there's any difference between corruption in private or public unions. There may be some argument that since public unions have greater leverage, they can tolerate more corruption. That seems like a reasonable hypothesis to me, but I don't know if there's research to support it.

The disbanding of police departments is a thing, but I think you'll find it's mainly relegated to smaller communities where they can rely on alternate policing (county and state) until they restructure their local police force. Of communities with appreciable size, where those other departments can't absorb the additional policing, it hasn't really been tried. (Minneapolis considered the idea, but it was ultimately rejected in a popular vote).

I do agree that the govt/corporate entanglement is a risk that can prevent corporations from folding, but I think that's a different issue. Going back to the automotive example, the federal govt prevented General Motors from folding but it also came with changes to the union contract driven by bankruptcy negotiations. So govt bailouts don't preclude unions from compromising.
rsync.net is great and I've always appreciated the exposed ZFS capability, even if at this point 3x the cost per gb for a small scale users vs B2 is a lot more painful. Having encryption, including for transfers, also be part of the filesystem (which is open source) is great. Pity but for a small turn of history ZFS didn't become the native FS for Apple. And I think backups in particular is one of the focused completely unambiguous areas where Apple really has behaved in textbook anticompetitive fashion, and they should be required to allow people to point their iOS devices at any 3rd party service (including their own!) they wish that implements the right API (which Apple should have to document and follow themselves).

Still with all that said:

>I disagree - the service provider should be considered an adversary and their service - and your tooling - should make it possible to obfuscate every single bit of data and metadata that you store there.

If you're using Apple devices at this point then I think they do unavoidably form some part of your core trust foundation. With current hardware Apple is everywhere in the stack right down to the CPU level, heck arguably below that since they have a special license with ARM and can implement their own custom extensions. If you really think they're an adversary to the point of doing custom backdoors explicitly going after you, then the hardware just can't be trusted.

It's not unreasonable though to look at both Apple's incentives and the state of American law at least and see distinctions between Apple being compelled (or hacked) to provide something they have passive access to on their side anyway vs being compelled to engage in non-consensual active work and feature development (or having that slipped in and make it into general deployment) on things that necessarily must go out to end user devices. The former is both bog standard warrant/subpoena territory and not inherently detectable outside of Apple and the government, since it doesn't directly involve the user as a party at all. The latter is very arguably illegal and provokes far more public response, and involves deploying in ways that make it far harder to keep concealed (and open up other avenues of challenge).
Is this likely to work at Lunar distances anytime soon? I saw that the James Webb telescope people were unhappy about losing much of their communication time on the Deep Space Network to the Artemis 1 mission. Could this be more cost effective than an major upgrade to the Deep Space Network?

How about at Earth-Sun L1 and L2 distances?

tbh that can be a correct answer (crescent numbers, not necessarily consecutive)
>Unfortunately the same argument makes the case for ignoring safety all together.

No it doesn’t. It’s all about cost/benefit. We accept some safety risk because the alternative is a product that is too expensive to be useful.
The main problem with them isn't just that they are ugly. Or that they form no coherent whole.

The main problem is that they completely ignore the place they are: the city, the country, the nation. It's the same haphazard collection of steel, concrete and glass with no rhyme or reason that you can find anywhere: from the third world countries [1] to right smack in the center of a medieval city.

They are all devoid of any character (unless the character is "yet another soulless something").

I love how conservatives claim to have the moral high ground on attacking protestors. Canada freezes bank accounts of truckers parked in the middle of the road, a few years earlier Republican states passed laws making it legal to hit protestors with your car if they’re in the road (during the George Floyd protests). https://slate.com/business/2021/04/drivers-hit-protesters-la...

One of those punishments is at least within a stones throw of the violation. I’ll give you some time to think about which one.
I see. The Open AI code generator gave me really impressive results for basic to intermediate questions in the data analytics space. I think it's a function of the context you give about the problem (aka what are the literal meaning of the columns in the business context) and how objective your question - to the model - is, plus some other internal model variable that I'm completely unaware of. But it's nice to have your input so I can understand a little bit what happens under the hood!
It definitely doesn't do any of that.

Your problem was having a non-Pi-hole DNS server configured. If you want to run all of your DNS queries through Pi-hole, don't configure a DNS server that's not the Pi-hole server (or which doesn't forward its queries to it).

Even with the amount of leverage they have to control third parties, media companies are too big for them to control. I’d be willing to bet they had little choice but to let the various publications run ads as they please. Those companies don’t need to be available on Apple News+ to survive.

So, to the surprise of really no-one, you claim programmers have ‘learned helplessness’ because they can’t apply your easy solutions, but back down on the ground when it’s time to demonstrate your superior abilities, it turns out to be all talk.

You don’t need to go and write software for me, if your arguments are worth anything you would be able to demonstrate them using the software you already wrote as you gained the experience to back your handwaving claims. Clearly you didn’t do that (if you did you would have known your original claims were a bit shallow), you just show up on your high horse to talk down to others who do. All talk and no action.
Thanks! (you added this afterwards, right? Or it's just me being tired and skipping this)
Nope. The representation in the brain seems to be like a parse tree, but it is a statistical AST, not how we think of it with computers.

If you have a basis in stochastic grammar, you should look into Operator Grammar. It is a very compelling description of grammar based on set theory and maps very neatly to the best neuroscience I'm aware of.
ENavFit Implementation Update [pdf]
"NPC [Navy Personnel Command] has authorized the continued use of NAVFIT98A ['98 as in 1998] until 31 December 2023 as an alternative while NPC resolves eNavFit challenges common with new software product implementation."

The Navy's new performance review software, first launched in 2021 to replace a product from 1998, is still too buggy and won't be fully implemented until 2023 lol
The question is midpoint, not division, so that's irrelevant in the first place, and even if were division, the standard is wrong.
I don't understand it either. The jump to assume malicious, borderline racist, attribution on thin evidence seems inappropriate.

Unless there is embedded Unicode or linguistic patterns, demonizing a particular country and people smells rancid.
It annoys me that they call the person a prince. There is no nobility in Germany.
Big universities (at least in my experience in the USA) are the other ones that would have a public IP address for every device, at least until rather recently. They were online very early and got allocated huge blocks of addresses, before anyone really imagined future scarcity.
The problem isn't accuracy. It's not generally important to hold perfect frequency. The importance is in coordination. If the grid frequency lags a little bit, then other plants should also lag, to prevent being out of phase.
My understanding is that other news organization were furious about CBS's mishandling of the story. There was plenty else about Dubya's actions at the time to report on but when the Killian papers were quickly debunked it pretty much tainted the broader topic as a Bush controversy.

CBS did some investigation but they clearly didn't try very hard to falsify the documents.
Yes, Apple is slightly less bad than Windows. On the other hand, Linux doesn't have any ads (other than the silly ones Ubuntu is trying to push on the command line these days).

> In every other turbine?

You were presenting it as necessary. It's neither necessary nor particularly prevalent for onshore wind. Enercon use none, Vestas' smaller turbines use none. Other DFIG and EESG turbines use none. Smaller offshore turbines overlapwith onshore ones. The larger offshore turbines are experimenting with iron nitride which is better but unproven. Some designs (like the e126 and family) already use negligible copper. The rest of the industry is reducing it.

> Don't worry we're running out of the sand to make glass too, and it's also an environmental nightmare. [2]

That's the kind of sand you need in much larger quantities for the concrete in a nuclear reactor. It doesn't matter if glass sand is smooth so you can get it from a desert.

For Uranium leaching of low grade ore (the only kind available in a mass expansion scenario) you need 40-200kg of sulfuric acid mixed with >3000kg of ore per kg of Uranium https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/nuclear-fu...

1kg of natural uranium produces about 1kW for 3-6 years.

1kg of PV including glass but not the frame produces about 5W net for 30-50 years.

The sulfuric acid quantity is larger in an ISL mine, and the crushed ore slurry quantity is orders of magnitude larger.

> It's not my sea mining, I was responding to your false statement that we're anywhere close to running out of uranium. There's plenty on shore for hundreds of years, and by then I'm sure we'll have a perfectly reasonable solution to the problem, either removing it from the sea, or moving to breeder reactors, or the thorium cycle. Put on your problem solving hat my friend.

It's your scifi scenario. There is only enough for the current fleet (about 2% of world primary energy) for 100 or so years. Expanding it enough to make a difference reduces this to a couple of decades. Sea mining for a burner reactor is a ridiculous proposition if you look at the actual numbers.

Breeder reactors don't exist. No power generating reactor has ever run on fissile fuel bred using an equal or smaller amount of fissile fuel. Even if a commercial design is made, most of the world will never be allowed to operate one, and it won't be developed on any timescale to make a difference.

The problem solving hat is on, and the solution doesn't involve nuclear. It can't solve more than a tiny fraction of the problem, and it can't even do that well or quickly. There's no reason to deal with the downsides.
I don't completely agree with joifw's sentiment, but philosophy sits on thin ice when everything inevitably means nothing in the end.
If I don’t like what Apple does with iMessage, I can move to WhatsApp. If I don’t like what Apple does with photos, I can move to Google Photos. If I don’t like what Apple does with iCloud, I can move to Dropbox. If I don’t like what Apple does with iOS, I can move to Android.

What am I missing? How am I handcuffed to Apple?
>>seriously, anyone at this point advocating for any other phone/os/service out there besides apple is really going out of their way to swim up river.

Well for your use case maybe, but I do not find the value of trading privacy for freedom to be a good one, specifically since I can secure my data other ways including not storing it at all on my phone.

My phone is a tool, and I prefer to own and control completely that tool
I wonder how it will change the livestock industry. Not having to feed animals alleviates the environmental concerns about eating meat, and would make meat cheaper.

Hell, I would buy myself some photosynthesizing cows and pigs if I can just put them in a pen outside and not have to feed them.
thanks for the questions, it is actually not, we (https://www.zettablock.com/) built a layer interact with graphql layer to put all relevant data in ONE PLACE, therefore instead of calling few hundreds API, only one API need to be called
correct. Mass shootings, overdoses, no hope for a future for many able bodied man who can't get into college or the trades. Without any hope for a future of your own, it's a lot easier to see the injustice of folks who got theirs.

All I want is a roadmap to ever increasing tiers of storage, like google, so I know if I need to, I don't need to do a big migration once my life history gets too big. Good to know about the hack.
You can do that with NAT64, which you can run as a service in your datacenter rather than needing to deal with v4 throughout it. (In fact it doesn't have to be run in your datacenter -- it could be outsourced to somebody else, which will probably make sense eventually as v4 use dwindles.)
Because it does not cost a lot of money if you want to live a hand-to-mouth existence. It is like asking how do subsistence living work. You make to do with what you have, what you can gather and do something to earn you occasional cash.

There is no long term thinking here, no optimism for future. I do not think this leads to a healthy society. But the point is that they do not have a lot of bills to pay and they do not care about the remaining.
Couple things:

1) Instead of stuffing the extra 96 bits in an extension, you stuff all 128 in the extension and use a reserved unrouted address in the v4 header field. Devices with no clue will just drop those packets.

2) Pedantically, switches are layer 2 devices. Some some of them act as routers also, but only routing is relevant.
Honestly? I don't care, you're probably right but if he wants to keep this double personality that's cool, who cares

When they announced the on-device CSAM, I was absolutely sure that they want to do this.

Lawfully nothing is stopping them, but since pretty much all US cloud services scan files it's clear there are some forces making them to do so. I thought that Apple was able to negotiate a compromise where they scan locally and then they are "allowed" to to E2EE.

Interesting that they proceeding with the encryption regardless.
Both reports on twitter from the last ~1hr mention Travis CI

trl: Train transformer language models with reinforcement learning
The original implementation also involved sending a "safety voucher" with each photo uploaded to iCloud, which contained a thumbnail of the photo as well as some other metadata.

The vouchers were encrypted, and could only be decrypted if there were, I believe, 30 independent matches against their CSAM hash table in the cloud. At that point the vouchers could be decrypted and reviewed by a human as a check against false-positives.

It sounds like with a raw byte hash they might be able to match a photo against a list of CSAM hashes, but they wouldn't be able to do the human review of the photo's contents because of E2E.
Yes it is. I have an undergraduate in Architecture, and your comment reads as wildly incorrect.

Checking out the book you link, I see this in Wikipedia:

> The response to Wolfe's book from the architecture world was highly negative. Critics argued that, once again, Wolfe was writing on a topic he knew nothing about and had little insight to contribute to the conversation.

No surprised. If you're going to critique Modernist architecture, at least understand that it started about 40 years before you say it did.
