Capsule hotels in Japan are very similar, but they rent nightly as other hotels do. The capsules typically have a shade that acts as a non-locking door, which means there is privacy but not sound isolation. Each floor has keys, so not just anyone can wander in and look at your stuff while you're out. Most offer female-only floors. Some have capsules big enough to store a suitcase under the bed. Others have lockers on a separate floor.

Some places have gym-style showers, or even common bath areas. Some have showers with locking doors, and the facilities can be nicer than many regular hotel bathrooms.

In the places I've stayed, the common areas were universally excellent. Comfy couches and tables for working; cozy nooks for reading; ample kitchens; console video-game libraries. One place had round-the-clock curry and rice in the kitchen, and if you've had Japanese curry you know what a treat that is.

If you're in the right mindset, staying in a capsule hotel in Japan can be a great experience. But bring earplugs; you can be sure that someone on your floor snores.
jonhohle, thanks. Do you know of examples of when milliseconds are part of the session tokens or accounts being created has been exploited?
If your database simply shards keys sequentially, it's going to get hotspots in a lot of use cases, like plain old integer keys and timestamps, not just UUIDv7. In that case it would be fair to say that your database is doing it wrong.

Fortunately, there's no rule that says you should shard your keys using the sequential part up front.

One of the rules for generating randomness from environmental sources is to throw away the high bits and only use the low bits. Distributed databases should do the same if they want a good distribution.
why bother with any version of the uuid standard? just generate a random 128-bit number and use it. that's all the newer ones are anyway
And price it accordingly to its value.
I got one of Samsung's "The Frame" art TVs with similar tech [0], and am planning on reframing it with an ornate wood frame. [1]

I outfitted three large flatscreens in my home with ornate frames. One with dielectric mirror glass as well. They look fantastic as a mirror or a screen.

Hiding the hard edge of the TVs under beautiful frames gives an impression of nice furniture instead of tech. Hard to describe, but the rooms feel more old-world and relaxing to be in.

As mentioned at the top of the article, Dasung launched an Indiegogo campaign for a 25.3" color e-ink monitor recently, so the display module exists: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/paperlike-color-world-fir... I'd agree about the refresh rate; the refresh rate seems fairly low in Dasung's promo video for it and the campaign description seems to lack any mention of refresh rate.
LOL, that was when they _removed_ all encryption in their last, final update. That was part of the deal probably, but they made it so obvious that nobody took it seriously. Everybody got the message: something is going wrong.

Since then truecrypt was carefully reviewed, some bugs were found, but no backdoors. It was forked and veracrypt is one of those forks. It has enhanced security which makes it annoying to use. For example to disconnect the drive one needs to enter admin's password. That's done because veracrypt doesn't store it. On one hand it makes it more secure, on the other entering passwords many times in public makes it less.
I and a lot of other devs I know use chatgpt to assist then in various capabilities, be it writing code, debugging errors, setting up environments or suggesting libraries.

This came to mind over the weekend as I need to figure out a way to do a very specific type of content filtering for a very specific reason in a very specific setting.

Essentially, I need to filter out any content with certain words. Not just porn filtering but a specific type of content.

A man in the middle attack is the only way to do it, but since it is legitimate need and legitimate setting, I figure that everything will have to be proxied somehow but I'm not sure how to go about breaking HTTPS and then giving it back to the browser without making everything go haywire.

If anybody has suggestions on the project it might be able to be used to do this, I would be grateful.
Given that a UUID identifier fits in a single cipher block, and the whole point is that these are unique by construction (no IV needed so long as that holds true), it seems like a single round of ECB-mode AES-128 would enable quickly converting between internal/external identifiers.

Sticks their neck out against whom? Against the Afro-Chinese/Euroamerican consortium that took kickbacks from the "medical companies" in order to keep the COVID theatre going? Those poor honest doctors around the world - if only they could speak up! If only one doctor would tell the truth!
FM radio as well: originally one channel, then a second was added, and the second is used for the difference signal (the first already being the sum signal, as with any conversion to mono). Overhauling the whole thing to broadcast left and right discretely would destroy backwards compatibility, and the newly-added subcarrier had worse SNR (thus receivers ignore it until reception is sufficiently strong) so it only made sense to use it for the difference.

Oh no, you have to buy the AVR128DB32 instead. /s. I think Microchip's at fault for breaking the convention. I fully admit that "AVR_flash_family" is kind of a nonsense convention. Only those who have studied Microchip's modern lineup would know that AVR128DB32 and AVR64DB32 are the same chip.

https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/microchip-technol...

The AVR DB series is going strong. I'm kinda surprised the 64kB model has sold out, but 128kB Flash is fine.

-------

I should note that AVR DA, DB, and DD are all _almost_ the same chip, and I personally search on all three and often just pick the cheapest.

AVR DA's standout is integrated capacitive touch sensors.

AVR DB's standout is 2x or 3x OpAmps.

AVR DD's standout is integrated level-shifters on PortC (or perhaps more accurately: a 2nd power rail entirely that those I/O ports operate on instead), and also seems to be the cheapest.

If you aren't looking for any of these specific features, then you can swap between the chips with almost no changes.

Here's my search query for AVR DA, DB, or DD chips: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/embedded/microcon...

Looks like AVR128DA32T-I/PT is the most common at 20,000+ available. There's also cheaper 16-pin models and more expensive 48-pin or even 64-pin models all available today. So its quite a bit more scalable than the old 32-pin only ATMega328p line.

AVR EA just came out, but I don't understand them yet.
It might well be backdoored. I said what I thought the trust level is.
You can do whatever you want with your code, you just really shouldn't act surprised when people avoid it so it can't hurt them. They don't see the tradeoff as being worth it. Maybe they don't in the other cases you are presenting as "poisonous" but in those situations they either aren't aware that it's posoin or they are aware and think that it's worth the tradeoff. Regardless, businesses have pretty much universally decided to avoid. I think that speaks volumes.
> The fundamental "problem" of consciousness is that systems are deterministic (and/or random),

Our biological systems are much closer to random than deterministic.

However, they are not purely random, either. Things are very much biased in normally beneficial ways.

And that's before we start talking about processes that actually depend upon quantum mechanics to operate properly (see: photosynthesis).
Not really, this work (as the article describes) builds upon well documented low-temperature superconductivity research where scientists at MIT made two layers of graphene with a differential rotation with respect to one another of 1.1 degrees - when cooled in a dilution fridge down to liquid helium temperatures it super conducted.

The theory of how both that and the OP article/research works is quite robust and decently well understood by the physicists working on it.

And this isn't some small team at some small college somewhere. This is a team at one of the best physics departments in the world doing this, and publishing these results. Like doubt is good in science, but these are scientists at the upper ranks of their field. The experts of their subdomain.

I feel like it's well beyond the scope of UUIDs to get into "are your clocks really monotonic?". They give you 48 bits for a timestamp, what that timestamp signifies (transactional time, valid time...) and how that's generated is up to you.

Out of curiosity, are you into hybrid logical clocks?
Who knew we'd come full circle back to tenanament housing (or worse).
I’ve seen too many people write a query like

where ts between txn_start and txn_end
order by ts

and not even realize that what they’re seeing is incomplete and misleading. Clock skew is very common, and we shouldn’t sweep that under the rug to promote time ordering, because people want to believe this works the way they think.
For anyone who wonders and can tolerate some guessing, here is an interesting starting point:

https://magazine.atavist.com/he-always-had-a-dark-side/
This was my first reaction as well. The keys use a unix timestamp, which are clearly not going to be synchronized by default so for event ordering purposes across a distributed system this is dodgy.

For providing better query locality it probably doesn't matter significantly though which seems to be the main benefit here while preserving the other benefits UUIDs provide.
Arguing with dang.
I wonder if there is an equivalent technology or 'activity' from the 80s as addictive and individual as social media.

As a GenZ human myself, I can't really imagine that much of a life without the Internet. In recent months, I've tried to adopt a less-internet lifestyle, such as reading, doing exercise, etcetera. But I still look back and think: if I hadn't had so much time to use a computer and the internet, I never would have discovered my passion (programming). I also get into a vicious cycle when learning new things: I don't commit to anything. (just Linux afaik) There's just so many technologies, stacks coming out, plenty of things, endless things to learn about that I never really wrap my head around what to really learn and dedicate to. But I guess that's more of a general opinion on learning things, not necessarily exclusive of recent technology.
> I'm not even sure what tech is out there that would qualify as "spending your innovation tokens" other than AI.

that's why they call it innovating. If you knew already, then it wouldn't be innovating, since it's not the innovation that's new.

Put another way, EVs average about 20% more tire dust, but the majority of ICE particulate emissions are from the engine.

So, EVs are a huge improvement.

Recently, tire manufacturers have started phasing out some of the nastier additives in tires (due to a new one causing fish die offs when it rains).

Tire dust is still terrible though. Hopefully, it’ll be the biggest environmental problem today’s toddlers have to deal with.

You explicitly said a 6 kHz sine wave. Which is pretty much the textbook example of a waveform and frequency which would work perfectly.

Maybe you wanted to say square wave?
I’m a “follow the money” guy and the only thing I can think is that back dooring encryption helps the largest tech companies, because only they will be able to do it “safely”. In a world where all online vendors back door their encryption, you want the largest companies to do it “right”.

Obviously this is very dumb and shouldn’t happen. But I simply can’t understand pure motivations for dumping millions into weakening encryption. There must be some financial incentive for someone.

I have a kaleido3 e reader and I like it but I do not understand how they will overcome the limitations of the panel with “xRapid”

My tablet is the boox ultra tab c. I’ve put about 350 hours of reading into it since I bought it in July. It’s pretty handy for reading manga, comics, and books. It’s a bit heavy but the screen is nice, the battery lasts a while. E ink color is a mixed bag. I like having it but I can definitely see how it would not be for everyone. I have major eye issues that make back and front lighting physically uncomfortable after about 45-60 minutes so this is a good way for me to be able to read ebooks. The color can’t compare to oled but it’s still pretty decent; I liken it to newsprint.

That all said the refresh rate and ghosting issues are noticeable. I use it purely as an ereader and still notice it. When I first got it I played around with a few games, YouTube, Firefox, etc and found them very difficult to seriously use most of the time.

Boox has an option to put a button on the screen to force a screen refresh for when you notice ghosting. This is mildly annoying but workable for ebooks. I wish they would allow you to just make a setting on page turns. For some reason they really don’t want that page turn screen flash even if you turn it on manually so they begrudgingly force it into a button that you press as needed. But that’s where I question the validity of this project: when you force the refresh of the screen it once again looks beautiful and the ghosting is solved. However, this is a relatively slow process. The full refresh takes a noticeable amount of time approaching a full second, maybe even over a full second. So they aren’t just doing that, obviously.

Everything else I’ve seen from boox that increases the refresh rate greatly increases ghosting. Like insanely and very noticeably. From what I’ve read this is not a boox issue. Other vendors, including bigme, have the same problem with kaleido3 panels and modes that do not force a full refresh. So I have to assume their “xRapid” is probably a lot of hype. I hope it’s not, and I hope it inspires boox and other vendors to improve the software of their products, but I genuinely believe this is a limitation of the panels

Long story short I’m betting the people who buy these will be pretty disappointed. Maybe I’m wrong and bigme is about to seriously overcome the issues these panels have seen to date but I certainly wouldn’t bet my $1800 on it

From the repo “The Neurotech Development Kit (NDK) is an open-source, community-driven software library designed to lower the barrier of entry to the next generation of neurotechnology for current researchers and companies. It also enables software developers without access to hardware and human subjects to solve open problems in the field. The initial release of NDK provides support for transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation, along with comprehensive documentation, API flexibility, and 2D/3D visualizations. Future areas of interest may include photoacoustic and optical whole-brain imaging.”

Well yes, but were they even implying that? Even if it was infinitely strict, clocks being perfect, two server processes can touch the same data at the same time.

In other words: Sorting by millisecond-or-so is just as good as sorting by picosecond in most situations. The reason you have to deal with conflicts gracefully isn't particularly because timestamps can be imperfect.
Yeah I can see how that makes sense. All I can say is the old cliche "autism is a spectrum" line. Some of us are better at evaluating emotional states than others and it definitely requires some degree of self awareness that not everyone has. I'm not totally sure that emotional state carries over to behaviors anyway. Also if we're sticking to the popular perception of autism, autistic people are also supposed to be good at pattern recognition and I think that applies here. In sum, I think because of specialized knowledge and personal experience, the average autistic person would be better at spotting other autistic people than the average allistic person, but certainly there's a lot of wiggle room there.
Trying to leverage right to repair to apply to software, as a way to demand source for commercial apps is a huge stretch.

I share your preference for text over video in many cases, although I think Dan Olson makes extremely effective use of his medium in a way many other "video essayists" do not. As far as age goes: before the Internet or even TV, people would go to see lectures and presentations for entertainment. Political speeches and debates were much longer, too. I think there's always been a desire for information delivered verbally in a compelling way. We just have different ways of delivering it now.

I also wouldn't take the transcription of older speeches too literally.
I’d assume the validation is parsing the uuid with a uuid library (to decode it), and the library eagerly validates the version field, either to check for garbage or because it wants to yield a different subtype for each version.
what variability? AFAIK in controlled studies masks work (as in when you actually test things in a lab rather than looking at population statistics), are more effective when both people in the room are wearing them, we know the size of particle they filter and we know the viruses are bigger than that. there's 0 doubt at this point they do what they are supposed to do.
Sadly, that’s not true. The large amount of low end torque leads to different rubber, etc.

Also, due to range anxiety, they tend to use low rolling resistance tires that wear more.

I spend more on tires than electricity for my EV, so I can imagine someone offering low efficiency / low wear tires as an option.

The above leads to about 20% more tire dust on average.
