On the dark web IPV6 is seen as a way for hackers to hide amoungst the forest of trees. I can detail millions of IPV4 addresses that are not being used, some blocks with ISP / WISP that have never been allocated to a 'customer'
Real question: What is a reasonable solution? Java has strictly defined primitive types: The largest integral type (long) is 8 bytes/64 bits. Please remember that Java does not have typedef, so it is not as simple as hiding the solution behind an opaque typedef that is #define'd at compile time.

More likely: If 128-bit address space really takes off, they can create a new largest integral type long128 that is 16 bytes/128 bits, and either extend the existing MemorySegment, or create MemorySegmentLarge to allow for bizarrely large address spaces, like up to 1024-bit.

Another one that people like to pick on Java about: Arrays are limited to max size of 2^31-1 (non-negative part of a 32-bit signed int). To rephrase your question: <<So the API assumes arrays can't be larger than a 32 bit signed int?>> Yeah, I guess.
Construction is expensive because construction salaries are high.

Authors clearly have never owned a century old building though, as easily shown in the first paragraph:

> Our own walk begins across the street from our apartment, where, following the recent demolition of a perfectly serviceable hundred-year-old building, a monument to ugliness has recently besieged the block

Century old buildings (I own in one!) are full of problems (plumbing, electricity, insulation, heating, lead paint) that are big projects for their owners, which 75% of the time they just ignore (thus kicking the can down the road), because renovation is even more expensive if you want to keep your building pretty / not destroy half your building while doing this. It’s a fun project for upper middle class folks who have either a lot of time to dedicate to them or a lot of money, sure, but not practical safe housing for most people.
Yeah. It's basically a God hypothesis for geeks.

That is the exact right reason, none of the other BS that’s been written (notice the lack of complaints about new IPv6 features). It’s purely about v4/v6 interop. I’m still not 100% sure how you would have solved some of these problems though. It’s easy to state that’s the problem. A lot harder to show how you have these things interconnecting seemlessly.

I'm genuinely curious to hear a more detailed critique. What is "the truth"?
It is being pedantic, but the issue is in the context of binary search:

Let us say that I ask you to find the number I am thinking about between -1000 and 1000, by repeatedly guessing a number. With each guess, I tell you whether your guess is correct, smaller or larger than my number. A binary search algorithm tries to find a value in an interval by repeating finding the midpoint, using smaller and smaller intervals. You might start with 0, then use either -500 or 500 and so forth.

You don't need negative numbers to do this.... you can easily do it with only positive numbers.
This is insanely cool. Thank you to share.
Which option makes Apple more money?

> 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.

This comment is made every time Apple makes one step forward but it's apparently easy to forget that Apple also took ten steps back.

I'm using LineageOS + MicroG happily and there are other alternatives that don't buy into any of these big corporate monoliths.

I'm not swimming up river but you are carrying water for a multi-trillion dollar behemoth.

Apple is hella late to the game encrypting data and you better bet there's a backdoor to getting that data if an FBI request comes in.
Alternatives may not be so black and white. Also, looking in the short term maybe it's like you said, but then? What about fighting for more freedom in the future, for the next generation? It's all about hope. See what seems to have happened in China, they vehemently protested, they fought police, but now covid restrictions seem to be relaxed.
> Caring about the environment is an ideological position, and obviously ideologies which reject it (as both state and market capitalism do) are going to be problematic for the goals of those who accept it as long as the former are dominant.

Did you mean, “As long as the latter are dominant,” or are you suggesting that environmentalists* are dominant?

What I think you intend to say is “capitalists will be problematic for environmentalists as long as there are more capitalists than environmentalists,” but that’s not what you said.

* I’m using “environmentalist” to mean “people that care about the environment,” even if there’s another meaning or connotation to the word.

Interesting article. I learned a lot.

A old book that I keep returning to is An authentic account of an embassy from the King of Great Britain to the Emperor of China by George Staunton, published in 1797 [1, 2, 3]. In the eyes of someone raised in class-bound England, the Chinese examination system seemed admirable:

“In Pekin alone is conferred the highest degree of literature upon those who, in public examinations, are found most able in the sciences of morality and government, as taught in the ancient Chinese writers; with which studies, the history of their country is intimately blended. Among such graduates all the civil offices in the state are distributed by the Emperor; and they compose all the great tribunals of the empire. ... Those examinations are carried on with great solemnity, and apparent fairness. ... There is a body of doctrine composed from the writings of the earliest sages of the empire, confirmed by subsequent lawgivers and sovereigns, and transmitted from age to age with increasing veneration, which serves as rules to guide the judgment of those tribunals. This doctrine seems indeed founded on the broadest basis of universal justice, and on the purest principles of humanity.” [4]

“The examinations of students for degrees are said to be always public. The body of auditors who attend, as well as the presence of the governor and chief magistrates of the district, who preside, must awe any disposition to partiality in the judges. ... The rewards of those who succeed, are not confined to the honours of the university; for these become the ascending steps which lead to all the offices and dignities of the state. Even those who fail in the main pursuit, have, in the prosecution of the contest, made such acquirements as fit them for useful avocations, and add to the general mass of knowledge in society. ... Tho the opulent youth have no doubt greater facilities and better opportunities of instruction, than the children of the poor, yet genius may have occasionally the strength to counterbalance such disparity; and at any rate, the possibility of success is an enjoyment even to those who are never likely to obtain it. ... Such a system of government promises indeed great benefits to society; and can fail only when the temptation to do evil is greater than the strength of principle and the risk of being detected in the sacrifice of it. The poor and private individuals in China, who have no means of communicating their complaints, or declaring their sentiments on the conduct of their particular rulers, are left in great measure at their mercy; and foreigners, when in the same predicament, are equally liable to suffer.” [5]

That's a mistake. A lot of people lie on their resumes.

A similar thing happened in south Texas - the land that Big Bend state park now occupies was grassland in the 1880s but because it featured low rainfall, was quickly overgrazed. The owners ended up giving the land to the state because it had been turned into worthless desert, coincidentally in 1935. Now 85 years later it still hasn't recovered to grassland but has beautiful desert vegetation. It is simultaneously beautiful and horrible.
All major analysts missed their 2022 estimate. The bulls were too bullish, the bears were not bearish enough. Looking into 2023, dispersion amongst analysts persists.
The fear is that the total number of devs necessary to produce the modern world will decrease, or at the very least stop growing.

I'm fine with that. But that's the fear.

This trend was always inevitable IMO. The existence of ChatGPT, despite its many flaws, makes that very apparent.
fwiw, @popehat, a criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor, has repeatedly made the point that judges can, and do, take into account counts on which a defendant was not convicted, and sentence them for that conduct.
I am not sure whether globalization is almost dead or not, but it clear to me that it is not sustainable. Look at the trade figures for China, e.g. $675 billion surplus[1] was recorded for 2021.

US should unionize its labor forces and start doing all kinds of manufacturings. Countries like China and India should be build more high tech & high value added stuff to climb up the value chain.

I am fascinated to learn more about the apparatus that checks pedestrians leaving the US. I understand there is doubtlessly unseen stuff going on there. Do you have any materials or primary sources I can look at to understand what you're talking about? It has been my experience when crossing after scanning my passport the officer goes from jovial to shocked/unexpected (I don't look like or act someone who would have a flagged passport) which leads me to believe there is at least in many cases no advanced warning to them a flagged individual is approaching.

Now I know the government must surely have these systems but I think it may be doubtful how effective they've set it up to be to stop people leaving the country if by foot. The flow of people leaving the border in general is just way lower scrutiny, in my experience living in a border state. I would be shocked if the average say non-violent felon fugitive has much trouble leaving if they're not on a flight manifest.
That may be true, but it is still to the discredit of The Economist.
Now they are storing hashes for every file, so they no longer need to do on-device scanning.

If they were serious about E2E, of course everything would be encrypted.

There is no reason why they shouldn't store only hashes of the encrypted data, or, in fact, not store hashes at all, except -

1) data deduplication, which only saves Apple money

2) storing hashes and thus enabling govt and LE intrusion by mass scanning of content through matching hashes

Neither of these options is good for consumer privacy, and I would expect better from a company that is supposedly about privacy.

I would also be interested to know if they are still doing the perceptual hashing, because that would actually still fit in with their language about storing hashes, because AFAIK they didn't specify what kind of hashes they are storing.

> The goal was to understand how much cash remained in the system, and to move away from a cash-based economy.

This is absolutely rewriting history. The stated goal at that time was “to remove black money”. The Reserve Bank of India knows how much cash is in the system at any point in time. That’s why we get periodic reports about it.

> It seemed more of a failure immediately afterward, but with 6 years of hindsight doesn't seem as bad.

A very badly thought out and badly executed move that resulted in about 150 people dying does seem very bad to me. The digital economy did not need such a stunt. Also, the amount of cash in circulation has more than doubled since that event in 2016.

The same attitude of “we’ll tell the people what’s good for them” repeated again during the COVID-19 pandemic with sudden lockdown announcements that left hundreds of thousands of migrant laborers without work and without a proper way to get back home (or have access to food and water).

As a private citizen, I would like others not to suffer so much because someone thinks they know better than everyone else and issues diktats that harm people.
In this thread, lots of people seem to think in terms of 255.255.255.255 and fail to recognize the IP address is 32bits and the textual representation of 4 octets means very little.

Finally an SEO question on HN! While I haven’t worked on SO, I’ve worked on a medical equivalent site which started with 1500 of 2.5m pages indexed and when I was finished with my contract they had over 1.4m indexed.

There are a few factors that you need to adjust for: authority, quality, structure.

Authority is mostly out of your hands as a technical SEO scope but as more content gets indexed, more links and signals will come in. The real culprits are quality and structure. As others have said, low-quality pages need to be addressed. They can always be worked back in later but you’re better to be ruthless about it now and add them back later.

Profile pages, thin content pages, duplicates all need to go. No index them first, then block in robots eventually and doesn’t hurt to canonical them where applicable. If you jump straight to robots, they won’t pickup the noindex directive.

The structure, a lot of people think of folder structure as IA but really it’s linking structure. It’s important to know where you’re placing emphasis on pages by how you’re internal links are setup. This is also the best way to surface deep pages as you can link to them to bring Google deeper into your site.

Also you can try refreshing dates and seeing if that helps. Short term solution but works plenty well.

I know this is pretty general but it’s hard without seeing your issues specifically. If I can help you get on the right track, lmk. Gladly take a look. I run a small(free) community with some strong technical SEOs in it as well who like helping. Not sure how to connect but lmk if interested and we will figure it out.
I've been running exit nodes in europe for years and not even a call from the police, what's wrong with me? huh? ;)

I'm not sure which part of the standard you think they're violating but the Pi is presenting itself as a USB device. One that accepts a (limited) number of blocks of data, and can respond with blocks of data.

Drag and drop to program isn't the same thing as flashing an EPROM on a chip burner like we're still back in the 80's, but that's because time's moved on since then.
This. I think comments about the quality of an unrefined output from these kind of generative models completely miss the point. ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion are more impactful when you think about them as a paradigm change in creative workflows rather than something that will blow your mind with its output the first time you prompt it.

These models ain't gonna make any jobs obsolete (for now), just redistribute productiveness between those who will eventually learn how to harness them and those who won't.
Yeah, that's a very fair interpretation. Honestly, a lot of programming languages need a lot of files to be in exactly the right place or your code will blow up. I like minimizing the number of files you need around, but making sure that you can have all of those files you need in production is a good strategy as well.
Because it's not everyone. It's (mostly) the US.

True; but as mainstream platforms keep fighting CSAM, the only "reliable" place to get it is specialized sites on the dark web, and governments have been quite competent at busting those and identifying their users. I much prefer them turning darkweb CSAM sites into honeypots, than them dragnetting huge portions of the population.

At least the harm is limited to those who deserve it.
Is AES-128 quantum safe?
> Alice's router is dumb. It sees traffic on port 1234, checks its NAT table, and sees that data is supposed to go to Alice.

While in principle that is possible, in practice almost all home routers are based on Linux, and Linux netfilter NAT implementation distinguish connections based on port and IP, not just port, so this would not work.
Feels like I am of an age (29) that is kind of a cut off point to first exposure to computers being special (my exposure being in 1998). Granted for many by then computers at home were not a big deal in the US, but growing up in Ukraine I still vaguely remember my first interactions with a computer when my dad brought it home from the bank where he worked as a programmer -- we did not get personal computers til later. I don't have precise memories, but remember the general feeling of it being this cool piece of tech and being able to use it as being special, and Starcraft being so awesome. Exposure to video game consoles was also a big deal even beyond this age; it was very rare for people in those parts to have them.

Of course, in other parts of the world it is probably still be a special experience some people don't get to have as a normal part of growing up.
Conda should have set the default for channel_priority to strict a while ago, it significantly reduces the search space [0], and it reduces the chances of the solver finding a poorly-specified-yet-nominally-compatible package build on some less rigorous channel. With strict channel_priority and conda-forge as my priority channel, it hasn't taken more than maybe a minute for to solve any dependencies (assuming the target packages are on the priority channel) for any of my own envs, although when I try to recreate envs that installed packages from many channels, I have experienced some long waits.

Dear Plaids,

I hope you're all ready to hear some fucking terrible news. Because I'm here to tell you that you're all going to be laid off, effective immediately. That's right, you heard me. You're all fucking out of a job, thanks to the shit show that this company has become.

I know, I know. You're probably feeling pretty fucking shocked and angry right now. And you should be. Because this is some bullshit, let me tell you. The company has been going downhill for a while now, and it's time to cut our losses. So we're going to be laying off all of you, you fucking plaids.

Now, I know this is going to be tough for all of you. But let's face it, you're not exactly the cream of the crop here. You're all fucking incompetent, and you've been dragging this company down for years. So don't expect any fucking pity from me. You're getting exactly what you deserve.

Good luck finding new jobs, you fucking losers. Because you're going to need it.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Upvote from me. I have been at 32GB of RAM for more than 5 years. I am genuinely surprised. I'm basically a big corporate programmer that runs Microsoft Outlook (surprisingly low memory), a giant (8GB RAM) IDE, and a squillion Google Chrome tabs. I struggle to think how/when I will need more than 32GB RAM. I have 64GB at home from a COVID-era new build, only because it seemed short sighted to "only" buy 32GB RAM in 2021. I have never once come close to needing it. :)

That said, I completely agree with your sentiment about "X is enough". What has changed in the last 20 years: When we double RAM/storage/network now, the increase is enormous. It does feel like GPUs are still in the insane growth period. Very soon they will be more powerful and have more on-board RAM than whole rest of the computer.
