> Do you usually consume lots of the stuff?

I mean… it’s salt? I use it to salt stuff, I don’t eat it alone. I use moderate (normal?) amounts, mostly in dishes.

For the most part it is not a topping or something that stays unmelted on top of a very bland food… but maybe it depends on what you cook and eat.
If they provide a compelling product offering, and the people understand what's available where, and choose to use it, then I guess that can be called vendor lock-in. But it's hardly nefarious.
But at this point in their plan it doesn't matter if they undercut existing providers. If the marginal cost of the extra client is small enough then it is just extra revenue. And you get the clients operations dependant on that extra bandwidth that they won't want to give up.
It's a really great project and I hope there will be more like that in the future!

I wonder, do you have any plans do enable https support? With browsers increasing becoming hostile to http and disabling modern features, it might be a good idea to enable access via https.

I think a streamlined way how a teacher could quickly generate a custom root CA and install it on student laptops could be useful here.

(And yes, I still think it sucks that this is the only option for using https without internet)
> Julia Childs and French people couldn't be wrong: they consume plenty of rich food and they don't have American health problems.

This is BS. I'm French, born and raised and we are plenty fat / unhealthy here.

I'm in my first week of the McDougall diet because I'm fat. That's the so called French diet that made me that way (for reference I ate fast food only 3 times since 2020, so junk food isn't responsible for my weight).

There is no magic, you can't feast like a king everyday and stay healthy. Slim people here either don't feast everyday (they have a self control I don't have) or are doing a lot of sport (or both).

Funny this project should turn up now. This project started with a container full of phones our company couldn't get rid of and the question "could we do something useful with them". The short version: not really. Phones consume huge amounts of energy and have tiny batteries relative to their power usage. If you want to repurpose them this isn't the way to do it.

There is no reason why they would necessarily need to charge such high monthly prices in poorer countries. If the marginal costs can be kept low enough then it would be stupid to miss out on the revenue. A key to that is probably the inter satellite links to avoid needing so many base stations.

Also, parts of Africa have pretty good cell coverage. So it may not be needed in a lot of areas.
Err what? Federation is the whole point. This is just twitter again without it.

Perhaps the aim is the idea of federation but in practice have everyone sign up to server they control.

For trivially small amounts of data it seems a massive waste of time and effort.

If however, you are storing and verifying identity of 100's+++ of users within said domain then hosting that makes sense (pgp for email should probably work this way).
I'm French, 1, 3 and 4 are true here too.

There is no French miracle, it's just that we're lagging a bit with the US (usually 10 or 20 years depending on the matter).
Federation is a form of decentralization though? There's no central critical Mastodon server owned by some entity, anyone can make their own server. It's not like the only way to make something decentralized is to not have servers involved.
I am using Supabase in production (small DAU app for a large company), which uses Deno Deploy as their function provider. So far no issues and it works well. It’s also quite easy coming from a nodejs / browser js background to pick up, as it’s just JavaScript after all.
The only true benefit I’m seeing as a potential Deno user is the faster startup time to reduce cold boots in a serverless setting - everything else is more in the category of “nice to haves” like ease of setup (I’m used to the workflows with Node so while it’s obtuse it’s something I know and is well documented on the web) and a tighter security model (I haven’t personally ran into any issues with this in Node but can see the benefits).

But nothings stopping Node devs from prioritizing the cold boot time, or for other upstarts like Bun with more of a focus on maintaining Node compat, or going with V8 Isolates instead, to give Deno a solid run for its money.
Thank you! Now I can finally play back the podcasts while hearing them on the PC.
While technically true your first statement is very misleading.

The SF Fed has a nine-member board. Three members are appointed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, who in turn are appointed by the president and confirmed by Congress.

The remaining six members are elected by banks.

You can certainly make the case that banks should have less influence over the fed. But this isn't at all unique to SVB.

You kid, but Guérande salt is a protected geographical indication. Off the top of my head there’s also Trapani salt from Sicily.
> I'm French, 1, 3 and 4 are true here too.

I would say that in France (and Europe generally) they are only true as you (unfortunately) move down the socio-economic scale.

My experience of Europe is that people who can afford it generally do eat well.

As for the driving, I'm not sure I agree. For a start, most US cities barely have any public transport, which automatically pushes people to get in the car (either due to laziness or due to distance). Meanwhile in Europe there are normally plentiful public transport options except for the countryside.
I played it a lot, the soundtracks were great.
Decent butter on toast is still one of my favorite basic snacks. Sometimes I use olive-oil instead. Add some salt too. Anything else is just extra (fresh onion, tomato, cheese, honey).

A '63 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT is objectively worse than the latest VW Golf GTI by every measurable metric.

The driving experience, though, is completely different. There's some "grin factor" raw-ness, some analog-ness to the former that makes the latter comparatively feel like a muted couch-on-wheels.

> What can handle enormous amounts of accounting information rapidly and precisely?

The piece of code that AI writes.

For instance "how can I find all transaction pairs whereby an equal amount is debited and credited, but three to five days apart?"

AI will respond by writing the query in the accounting system's query language (and not actually trawl through the data itself).
While the addition of being in orbit, and so truly inaccessible if you lose comms, adds a slight wrinkle these are in most other ways just another piece of infrastructure connected to the internet, and so securing them is probably done in much the same way.

I guess the closest equivalent here is a remote point of presence for an ISP, which is also unlikely to be staffed on a regular basis. The first step is physical security, ensuring no one can get their hands on the hardware itself… that one’s pretty much in the bag here.

With that out of the way, we then look at the communications channel. This is probably the greatest vulnerability Starlink
has, since if you can target the satellite with a powerful enough transmitter you can hypothetically block anyone else communicating with it. I’d be curious to hear if there are any specific defences against that built into Starlink. As another poster mentioned though, you’re only going to be able to do that to a given satellite for a short period before it crosses the horizon, so this is mostly a case of being able to deny service in a specific region of the world.

Next up is remote access. Again, curious to hear otherwise, but there’s probably a couple of control channels here. The satellites are probably running an SSH server, but I’d be surprised if that’s exposed to the public internet, so you’d need to breach whatever VPN or equivalent SpaceX use to communicate with the satellites. In this regard they’re just another computer, apply whatever methods you’d usually apply.

They also likely have a channel via which they’re listening for instructions to update their configuration. In that regard, these are IoT devices, it’s just that instead of receiving instructions to turn on a light bulb, they get instructions to fire rockets and change their orbit. My hunch here is that the primary comms channel for this is going to be the same as the SSH server, but there may well be a direct radio link they can use to recover if IP connectivity is lost. That’s probably the weak point if you want to hack a satellite, but it’ll be encrypted in some manner, and need authentication. Just finding out how that works will be a needle in a haystack because you’d have to intercept the traffic to start analysis.

Or get physical access. Maybe you could contract SpaceX to give you a lift up?

I think almost all languages should have a database built in. Almost all programs need a way of storing and querying data but the drama required to hook up to an external db is excessive for little programs. Basic dB functionality should be as available in language standard libraries as file access.
Their non-performing assets are only 0.06% of total assets.
This sounds cool. Do you have it online?
Yeah I tried it out but it’s clearly just a demo and not at all production ready. Maybe they should be prioritizing some this as a killer app that would bring people over, or else achieving full compat with the industry incumbents.
As an aside, I've (UK) pretty much only ever eaten Lurpak for the last 40+ years and recently had an 'argument' with a Continental friend who vilified salted butter, which I just couldn't get my head around as I find unsalted butters tedious. Until, that is, I tried 'going fancy' and buying some expensive French salted butter and realised what he meant. Good Lord, that stuff was salty!

I now appreciate that Lurpak is marked as 'lightly salted', which makes all the difference.

My comment is actually citing a real world 2008 case from The Big Short By Michael Lewis (undisclosed bank writing the mortgage however).

It was an interst only mortgage.

History doesnt repeat itself but it often rhymes. In 2008 the teaser low rate that the fruit picker got went up, and they got wipped out, in 2023 the teaser low rate that regional banks bought government bonds at went up and they get wipped out. In a way it is poetic.
>but AIUI current x86 is actually good for raw performance and perf/Watt.

True. But watch out for Veyron Ventana, due H2 this year, and Tenstorrent Ascalon, due next year.

The latter expects similar performance as projected Zen5, but using less power.
Also starting to believe that the real status symbol will be the ability to not have an internet connection or only connect at your own discretion.

I also see a lot of temptation especially in the IoT space to use the internet to control the devices against the users wishes and spy on the user.

You also see tge first attempts of devicemakers to actively ensure an internet connection themselves, independently of what the user set up. (I.e. Apple's Find My network, Amazon's Sidewalk, etc).

I don't think this will become less in the future.

I think what you say might be true. I once found a dumbed down version which goes like this: (A simplified version of Mia [0])

On your turn, you secretly roll a die and then make a statement about what number you rolled. The next player may then call your bluff. If you lied, you lose, otherwise they lose. Or they may roll again, but must claim to have rolled something higher than whatever you rolled. If you don't lose, you win.

Suppose you have to explain your (mixed, i.e. involving randomness) strategy to other players before playing. This is a simulation of the realistic situation of playing many times and other players learning your strategy.

Let us examine the situation where you are given a 4 from the previous player and you decided to roll. (You would have to prove that this can be a correct move, but what follows is in principle true in any situation where you roll.)

If you roll a 5 or 6, you say so. But if you roll a lower number, you have to claim a 5 or 6 regardless.
If you announce a 6, you lose instantly, because the next player has no chance of rolling higher, so they must call your bluff. Thus in a single game the correct move is to announce a 5.

But since the other players know your strategy, you can increase you chances of them believing you have a 5 if you sometimes claim a 6 and thereby forefeit the game. It is an easy calculation to see that this strategy yields more wins than always claiming a 5 in this situation.

I think this is analogue to the poker example: Play a clearly bad move and thus gain an advantage by being unpredictable. In my example it is not so hard to see that the advantage can in principle outweigh the cost of playing bad moves.

tl;dr:

1. Avoid branching by always reducing the search range from n to n-n/2 (never n/2).

2. Preprocess the input (a sorted array) to Eytzinger order: Middle element, then first and third quartile elements etc. Now, if your search checks an element at position k, it will next want to look at either position 2k or 2k+1.

3. Some minor tweaks like aligned storage and rounding up size to a power of 2.

Yes and no. The Fed has a not-so-subtle goal of taming inflation in part by capping asset prices with its interest rate hikes.

Check out Indian and Iranian styles of making tea.

First, the traditional method doesn't use tea bags.
You boil the water, add the tea leaves or tea dust, at start or end, as you prefer.
Then strain, and add milk and sugar.

Iranian style tea (at least in India, as found in the few remaining Irani restaurants) is boiled for longer, and has a stronger and very distinctive taste.

In the Indian style, powdered spices like cardamom and cloves are often added. So is ginger.

This is usually called masala chai, and, for foreigners, it is not called chai tea. That would be like saying tea tea, because chai mean tea in Hindi. It is pronounced like hai.
Thanks, I think we need to discuss this too. I don't believe we can wish the internet away, but we're still in internet infancy, the "wild west" of plugged in, always online, life. Regulators need to catch up, but at the moment they seem to miss the point, mainly trying to cash in and serve their own narrow interests.

We likely need a movement that promotes a healthier use of the tech, which could include things like making it socially unacceptable to be constantly hooked up to your phone, and hefty fines for the manufacturers whenever their hardware/software made clandestine surveillance possible.

If things like these are not technically or socially possible, then I'm guessing we'll see an "anti-internet" movement eventually, too.
One has to assume some level of good faith, or it would be impossible to agree on anything.

"The article above mostly rants about how the majority of the teaching is done by the teaching-only staff (as you would expect), and how they should be given more consideration."

It's a rant about being slotted into a system where it's next to impossible to get into the "good" track, from the "bad" position.

"The truth is that the worth of a professor is measured by his research, not his teaching."

Which means it is pretty fucked up that two-thirds of the academic faculty is never given the opportunity to prove their worth. It's of course even worse than that, because there is only a minority of minted PhDs that can even secure such a position.

All in all, it looks even worse than STEM, where there at least is temporary research roles for junior faculty.
Awesome!

That's pretty cool. So the ID of an ActivityPub actor is simply a url.

Uber has a boat service in London.

Siri and the Apple mobile keyboard are both jokes. It often seems like a joke what they produce. Even before LLMs predicting the next word was not that hard in 2-3 word phrases. But now that we have LLMs that are pretty good, Siri seems like a real joke. Is the manager of this product permanently drunk or something?

Oh yeah, the keyboard replacing fuck with duck even though I never wrote duck until now is enough reason to pop over to Android.
CO2 levels have continued on their long term trend since it started to be measured so no, there's really nothing that's been done and actual warming since the mid 70s is way way less than 6 degrees. All projections of such levels of warning were way off base.
So, in your implementation, you always reduce the search range to n - n/2 to avoid branches. Why can it not be always n/2 - seeing as you've just examined and ruled out your middle element? i.e. seeing as how n/2 >= (n-1)-(n-1)/2 ?
It is nefarious when you build up your entire product for years, spamming it everywhere as "node but better", yell "it's so open source too!" on every roof, only to sneakily slide in lock-in features, it's worse than being nefarious.
