It’s a good point. I was on a niche Apache mailing list for a bit and of course I’m talking to the world experts about some niche serialization format from the creator himself et al.

I’m curious if they resent random questions though. For example, if I’m asking Linus about btrees he’s probably going to tell me to fuck off
> Infisical will keep its current licensing

I think license they chose doesn't allow to change licensing, unless they require 3p contributors to sign some agreement to give up copyright rights like Hashi asked to do.

So, we can check right away if infisical asks to sign agreement or not.

But you'd have to cram so many levels logic into that single cycle that you'd have to decrease the clock frequency to meet timing constraints, meaning that code that is not dominated by division would slow down. And a multi-cycle division can often happen in parallel with other operations.

What actual, not theoretical, uses of crypto, aside from unregulated speculation, do you believe are non-scam uses?
While I highly encourage everyone to read this in its entirely, I think it's worth a quick summary of the bits that may be personally-useful to those who don't:

* If it comes to a lawsuit in a court case, DO NOT IGNORE IT. If you don't show up, collector gets a kind of automatic win called a default judgement, and that's how you end up losing your house or having money vanish from your bank-account. If you do show up, they might instantly offer you a discount deal, often because they know their position is very shaky and they don't actually want to spend money fighting a court case that might be unwinnable against a strong opponent.

* Ask for proof. Debt collectors often lack documentation that you are legally-entitled to. ("Debt verification" under the "FDCPA".) Many never got it form the original bank, and don't want to spend time/money getting it. Asking for that proof means they may just give up and move on to a cheaper/easier person.

* Don't be fooled into paying for other people's debt. At least in the US, debts end when the original debtor dies, except in the sense of money taken away from the debtor's stuff before it reaches heirs. You can't ever "inherit negative money". Spousal stuff is more complex, but don't get fooled into paying something you don't even owe.

* Debt collectors will often make threats that are both impossible and illegal. This means you can only benefit from having everything in writing. (Or by clearly announcing that you will record a call, and then recording it.)

* The law (FDCPA) only allows debt collectors to call family members in order to get your contact information... But some of them use this as a form of harassment/coercion. There's no magic-wand for this part.

* If you agree to a vague "payment plan" and then send them the first check or bank-account info, watch out: Even if you don't write another check, they will find ways to withdraw money out of that account at the exact worst moments for you... but the best for them.
I greet W7-X with a huge yawn. A reactor based on stellarators will still be very large and have very low volumetric power density. The beta is not good, so these would only work with DT, and suffer from the generic problems of all DT schemes.

What else do you do with a billon dollars? Even a browser on FF's scale doesn't need a billion to operate properly. Most of that would go towards advertising and lobbying for stuff to secure their place.

They've stopped the deal from going into effect, which is what I think what the previous poster meant.

You're right that they haven't thrown out the deal, but they've prevented it from going forward without further scrutiny as the Sacklers and their lobbyist thralls would have wanted.

It was clear and not subtle, but my pedantry provoked a more substantial response. This is a topic that will likely be in our discussions going forward considering the former US president has so many outstanding charges against him. But that’s a much stickier situation than just a defendants rights to free speech, considering he’s also the leading Republican candidate for 2024 and the situation is largely unprecedented.

Not relevant in this example, but another terrible user interface in the cockpit is the FMC. That thing with the '70s era green screen, where pilots program routes with cryptic codes, seemingly inherited from the Apollo guidance computer.

I’d argue they already are, it’s not infeasible to get ~320tb into an overstuffed NAS (two 10 drive arrays with two drives as parity) currently with a few drives being overly hot and we’re seeing HAMR hit the market now and should probably easily see density double before too long. We’re at the point you can home movie library the size of a streaming site’s library for less than 10k without needing a rack. If you drop density a bit and use used enterprise SAS drives you could probably get things done for 5k + a decent power bill. Still inaccessible to most but plenty accessible to an enthusiast with some disposable income.

QLC would be nice for such a home application over noise/space/power usage concerns but the cost is still extremely high.

The burning of 1 kg of coal heats the earth in two ways:

A) the energy that is produced immediately (about 24MJ)

B) the excess energy absorbed from the Sun over many subsequent years, caused by CO2 emitted burning that coal.

The B is much larger than A. The fusion only produces A, but not B.

I hear what you are saying but we have to balance "will no one think of the children" with giving the the government, especially one like Texas that would likely 'accidentally' leak the porn viewing habits of a political opponent. Is this really the type of ammunition we want to give to a man like Ken Paxton the Attorney General of Texas, look at what he is already accused of doing.

At the end of the day, we have to put a large share of the responsibility on parents. My kids have ipads and phones but I just disabled the internet. They are not old enough for it. When I feel like they are, I will enable it. I will also keep track of all sites that they visit when I do. Its on me.
This one is quite technical compared to the ramblings above.
> I don't think his intent was to intimidate her

It doesn't matter what the intent is. She's a witness and trying to pull this shit is a huge no-no, as the judge rightly ruled. He should have known better.
Probably because add, sub, and mul are int -> int and div is int -> real. The fundamental operation maps from ℵ0 to ℵ1, which the other operations don't do. Intuitively, the complexity comes from this fact.
it's also isn't usable if you're going to need to modify it, even if something trivial like patches to work on your internal historically complicated stack, then due to legal bugs in AGPL you might find yourself never compliant with the license.

See the book referenced. Basically, if you implement division by Newton-Raphson, using multiplication as a subroutine, the complexity is O(M(n)).

In the other direction, one can use division to do multiplication by: (1) doing reciprocal with division, (2) doing squaring with reciprocal, and (3) doing multiplication with squaring. All these operations (division, multiplication, reciprocal, and squaring) turn out to be equivalent in complexity up to a constant factor. All this is asymptotically in n, the number of bits.
Your response doesn't contradict anything I wrote. I wrote that the judge was correct in sending him to jail for witness intimidation because they should apply the same standard they do in every other case. I just don't like the standard!

Edit: Quick correction. I suppose your first sentence does disagree with my view on whether intent matters. But I'm pretty sure "intent" shows up in the statute. You also seem to disagree with the prosecutor who argued that intent DOES matter and that his intent here was to intimidate the witness.

I think a lot of people try to do identity things without understanding the fundamental nature of the problem they're attacking.

For instance: I'm really really worried that governments are going to default into an understanding of digital identity that involves ownership of an email address and mobile phone rather than ability to sign a document.

Or: I'm really annoyed that software services and web apps have clauses like "you can't use scripts or automation software to access our API" when a browser is just that. And they should really be enforcing rate limits and punishing abusive behavior whether the user clicked a button in a browser or a script did.

These type of things are not rooted in a fundamental understanding of identity, they're sloppy stop-gaps. Despite all its faults, this is one of the reasons I'm super excited about WebAuthN. At least is make common the idea that an identity is a cryptographic secret and not a "possession of an email and phone". We really really need to dig out of this "email address identifies you" hole.

Anyway it's exciting to see people discuss the topic more formally. It gives me hope that we can ultimately get to a better understanding of digital identity and not be trying to solve impossible problems by chasing an impossibly perfect solution that verifies all 3 tenets that actually doesn't exist and making a big mess of things because nobody stopped to ask or understand the scope of what we should be trying to do.

Ultimately identity should be empowering not oppressive. And right now it feels more like services oppress people into all sorts of weird requirements like having an email, getting a phone verification code, running software on a device that has an integrity attestation framework, etc. rather than trust them and punish bad behavior.

I want my government (and web services, but especially my government) to trust me and punish bad behavior, not treat me like an untrusted bot that needs to be managed and continuously verified.
They are in addition to a simple Docker or Docker compose setup, not an alternative or replacement. If you want to, you can still use the simple Docker setup in a project for yourself even if it has a devcontainer configuration.

I.e., you can point a .devcontainer at a Dockerfile that you've already got working for your environment and specify standard configurations for environment variables, vscode extensions, and other bootstrap configurations so that the startup friction for a new developer working on the code is reduced to the minimum and the manual steps they need to compete to get started are documented and standardised in the devcontainer format, but you don't lose anything by doing so.
In my work experience, users will complain about any sort of message. We recently got a request to change a message of "OK" to something more detailed. What more do you want than a message telling you that the thing you were trying to do succeeded?

So I'm very sympathetic to people arguing against showing error messages.
> The PM9D3a achieves a mean time between failure (MTBF) of 2.5Mhr, a 25% improvement over the previous generation, allowing customers to operate more stable services.

This number doesn't reflect that, but maybe the MTBF is just a distraction.
This is bizarre to me. Cloud storage kills the need for small drives. So for the individual with modest storage needs, the cloud is relatively inexpensive and thought free. But the moment you get over 2TB the cloud gets extremely expensive. So if you're a person who needs to store a lot, large drives make a lot of sense.

This to me, it's the opposite of observably true. You would think large drives would be most in demand for personal use.

> "I don't see my seeing of a flower"

Then you must have a fundamentally different qualitative experience of consciousness than I do.

The flower I am holding right now, it is real to me because I can observe myself experiencing it, however the flower you are holding I cannot experience because I am not observing your experience of observing the flower.

It is quite remarkable that you can experience that flower that I am holding and say that it's real while I cannot do the same for the flower you are holding.

> "A dog which sees a flower knows there's a flower"

I certainly don't know enough about the state of my dogs mind to know that my dog is seeing a flower, as opposed to say, merely experiencing clustered sensations in the same location as I am seeing a flower. I've looked at a flower and seen my dog eat it, so I have a suspicion that he recognizes something there, but only because my beliefs about how his actions might correlate with seeing something.

I also have friends who have seen a purple flower in the exact space I am looking where I cannot see a purple flower. What is the explanation for this?

Google isn't (yet) big enough to force it through: given iOS marketshare in the US it means web-app devs won't (can't?) do anything unless both Apple and Google adopt it (yes, there are plenty of Chrome-only websites, and Safari has been slow to adopt new web-standards, especially when they begin to tread on the toes of Apple's App Store (PWAs, WebUSB, etc).

>Firefox had tab grouping addons - and then a native feature - way before we had Chrome browser... now everyone complains firefox is the only browser that does not support tab groups... kind of ironic!

I think tab containers are way better after getting used to them. But they are much jankier and feel they needs a UX pass to really make it shine. There were a half dozen instances where I wanted to do something, thought it wasn't a feature, and then found it in a weird context menu. Which includes the fact that the feature itself is behind an add-on! A add-on with native level support, but an add-on nonetheless.

All the ideas of tab groups and much more is there but scattered all over the place.
I can absolutely tell the difference and it’s frankly annoying to collect something which will become obsolete not just within your lifespan but when you’ll likely have a lot of lifespan left to go. 4K blurays to me hold up compared to 5k/6k/8k raw footage to the point I wouldn’t be too troubled if I had an old format on my NAS when an h.267 8k version came out.
