Temperature is the largest factor. Things like a DS3231[1] do really well compared to a basic non-compensated oscillator. I have been running some long-term experiments on a few that I have around and with some tuning got them to less than a second loss per year. But, they are super expensive compared to the basic ones (almost $5 each in quantity), so they aren't going to end up in your car where a 3 cent chip is possible to use instead. (I don't know what 5G / LTE chips cost these days, but if they're putting one in your car anyway, then they can probably get the time from that. But choose not to.)

Most interesting to me in all of my time experiments is looking at my clock frequency over time vs. the temperature. (NTP daemons aim to calculate your actual clock frequency; then they know how far off your internal time is from actual time.) You don't even need a temperature sensor, the clock rate is a perfect analogue.

We lied about WMDs to cajole and entice other countries to join us in invading Iraq.

We tortured prisoners.

We killed reporters (accidentally) and lied about it (intentionally).

We drone-killed a minor US citizen in a foreign country without a trial.

I watched 9/11 happen with my own eyes and it was incalculably tragic but we've done some very shitty things in return.
I know it's a bit fraught to share on a public forum, but would you be willing to share how it changed your opinions on the matter?

I also really enjoyed "A History of God', but found the author's conclusions a bit odd. She seemed to still be devout, and yet her book destroyed what little faith and hope I still had in organized religion. It really laid bare how so much religious change was due, not to some sort of new understanding of the world, but either attempts to acquire political power or abstract debates over semantics.

It's kinda silly, but I like "frhed" for Windows. It's a small fast hex editor. I tried more advanced editors but found myself going back to frhed because it opens instantly and never complains, it just opens any file and lets me get to work.

On a similar note I also use Notepad2 which hasn't been updated in years, but is a no-BS upgrade from Notepad that also will open just about anything very quickly. I use it more than Notepad++ because of the balance between simplicity and function, and it never gives me popups to update.

To add a reference, here's a reproduction of my comment on a discussion of Lenovo from 4 years ago [1]:

I want to emphasize how bad the TLS MITM malware was (adware is too nice a term): they installed a TLS MITM attack by adding the same CA public key to the trust store of every non-business device they sold, and then proxied all internet traffic through an on-device MITM proxy that contained the private key to that CA. Yes you read that right: every device with this malware had the public and private key used to decrypt the TLS traffic of every other device with this malware, effectively exposing every user to have all of their traffic both decrypted and MITM'd again by anyone who tries. This train wreck was malicious and incompetent.

I don't consider this a technical failure, this is a fatal business failure: either nobody in Lenovo reviewed this software integration from a privacy and security perspective, or they did review it and the business deal overruled the security team's ability to veto it, or they're so inept that they didn't notice how bad it was. In any case, this indicates an organizational dysfunction so severe there's no way I can trust Lenovo with my personal or business security again.

> However, HTTP/3 is using QUIC as a patch over badly designed websites and services.

Most "modern bloated" SPAs are tiny. The default MSS for most TCP implementations is 1460 bytes, that's 1.42 kB max per packet. Just the TCP handshake packets themselves (3 * 1460) can hold almost as much data as it takes to get a standard SPA. This says nothing about the TLS handshake itself which adds another 3 packets to connection establishment. Most SPAs send small and receive small payloads; a compressed JSON exchange can easily fit in a single packet (1.42 kB.)

The actual amount of bandwidth on the wire between a server-side rendered "fast" app and a "modern bloated" SPA isn't very different, the difference is in how they send and receive data. SSR pages send a thin request (HTTP GET) and receive a large payload; generally the payload is much larger than the connection establishment overhead, so they make good use of their connection. On the other hand, a naive SPA will involve opening and closing tens or even hundreds of connections which will lead to a huge waste (6 packets per TLS+TCP connection) of overhead. QUIC makes it possible to have small connection-oriented request/response semantics on the internet with minimal fuss.

That said the problem with rants like GP's comment is that they don't serve to illuminate but serve to push on us, the readers, the author's agitated emotional state. Instead of having a discussion about bandwidth and connection overheads, or even trying to frame the discussion in terms of what "waste" really is, we get emotional content that begs us to either agree with an upvote or disagree with a downvote with nothing of substance to discuss. Any discussion website is only as strong as its weakest content and if content like this continues to get lots of upvotes shrug
Not my experience, especially when you actually break down the cancellation policies (which booking aggregators will sometimes charge extra for) and whether they require payment up front or at the time of arrival.

When I last did this, for a vacation, the cost at an aggregator was less if there was no cancellation allowed, and more if the option to cancel was added (but to a couple days before I believe), and needed to be paid at time of booking. When I called, I got a rate slightly less than the online+cancellation, I was able to cancel up to 24 hours in advance, and I only needed to pay on arrival, meaning I didn't tie up a few thousand for a few months.

There's also always the option to state the rate you found online and see if they are willing to match it. It's not like there usually some magic involved, if they're willing to offer it to an aggregator, why wouldn't they at least consider offering it to you direct?

Net neutrality is back, and telecom giants are up to their usual dirty tricks
Here are some real challenges in creating intelligent agents, but none of that has anything to do with the halting problem. The reason you latch on to the strawman that I belive neurons are touring machines is because you want to win. I on the other hand, don't care about winning. I want to be right. The best way to be right is to change your mind immediately as you notice the flaws in your thinking.

The halting problem, or some other theoretical and esoteric complexities of computer systems, have nothing to do with the fact that current LLMs are not simply stochastic parrots. This doesn't mean they are conscious. They can't be. Because they aren't even multi-modal yet for starters. But that has nothing to do with halts or qbits. I don't even know where that red herring came from. Lay of the Penrose juice. There is no evidence that mammalian brains are room temperature quantum annealers. Nor is there evidence We need to model complete biological neurons to do learning. What if it's just a question of scale? We don't know that it's not. If it is, we are in big trouble.

Your argument is akin to saying that Gödel's incompleteness theorems, are the reason you can't complete your maths homework. Yes, in the "limit", it's true. But practically, we both know that homework can be solved.

Maybe it's just a different style, but when I was a manager my 1 on 1s with my team was their chance for them to set the agenda. They had 30 mins of my undivided attention to discuss what THEY wanted to talk about. Except in rare cases, anything on my agenda was fit in at the end or I booked separate time for it.
This.

The academic internet of the 90s is so far gone and while we're seeing a lot of magic lately, it's magic available to literally everybody for any and every purpose.

We're rapidly seeing how boring and disappointing that is :(

I'd love to know how many people end up subscribing vs allowing ads vs reducing views drastically vs just never using YouTube again.

I assume this will bite me soon, and I think I'll be in the "reducing views drastically" because there's very little I watch on YouTube that I'd want to sit through any ads for.

What times what shall I take in order to get 9 ?
3 times 3 is 9.
3 is the breadth.

That doesn't appear to be in your link – am I wrong? I only see numbers there and it appears to be talking about something else entirely.

Nice to see this here, also see the cross post on the Prossimo Blog (same just more official looking): https://www.memorysafety.org/blog/announcing-hickory-dns/

Since the title here doesn’t state so, this is a direct continuation of the work that’s been going on for the last 8 years on Trust-DNS. When Josh and the ISRG started discussing with me putting more direct effort behind the project there were some concerns about the Trust-DNS trademark. “Trust” and “DNS” being common words that appear together often when folks refer to their own DNS software or services. So then we started discussing a rebranding.

Over the next couple of weeks I’ll be applying the brand name to the repo and all the crates, etc., so please be patient as we perform some of the necessary tasks associated with this rebranding effort.

I’m personally really excited about ISRG’s involvement and their entire Prossimo project, and I’m hoping this opens a great new chapter for Hickory DNS.

Yeah, that's nice to imagine.

Instead the guy spent the rest of his life promoting bad science (not just Noah's Ark, but creationism in general). There's no way to do that without implicitly or explicitly calling out a conspiracy consisting of effectively every single scientist on the planet.

And while I'm sure he imagined he was doing the "nice" version of evangelicalism, at a minimum it consists of pestering the three-fourths of the planet who isn't Christian and doesn't want to be Christian. And often finding ways to make their lives uncomfortable.

It sounds like seeing this "fragile marble" may change people, but not always for the better. It seems like in this case it just increased his cultural injunction to dominate the planet.

> This isn't generally required by law (but please correct me if I'm wrong; it's been some time since I worked in the email industry.)

I was thinking of commercial, not transactional email at that time. For that, the law that I'm familiar with: https://www.acm.nl/nl/verkoop-aan-consumenten/reclame-en-ver... and I tend to assume that most things that we have in the Netherlands are EU-wide, either in spirit or by being EU-originated legislation. Checking Wikipedia's spam article, four clicks and some ctrl+f'ing later, yes:

For transactional email, I don't really see the point of unsubscribe links. What's one-click unsubscribe supposed to do when you press it on a StreamSeries invoice, cancel your subscription because they won't be able to invoice you anymore for the streaming service? The only legitimate instance that comes to mind is if a third party filled in your email address and is triggering the emails to annoy you, then unsubscribe could make sense, but that could also just be prevented from happening by doing the (typical) email validation step.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals.

It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter with a half-million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.

This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.

Even if you only print things once a month, a laser printer is far less wasteful in time, money, and bullshit than ink that's perpetually dry or consumed.

Rather than an entry-level laser printer that cannot be economically repaired, a used mid-level enterprise printer is often the cheapest option long term and saves useful electronics from becoming e-waste. Office furniture rental/repo places and secondary markets like eBay have these.

In large enterprises, a printer's cost per page tends to be inversely proportional to (increased) initial acquisition cost and availability of repair parts. Put another way, giving everyone an entry-level printer would be far more expensive in acquisition costs, per-page costs, and an inability to repair them. (hitting TCO 3 ways).

I had a HP LaserJet 4 (released 1992, purchased new ~1994) until 2013 with a used JetDirect card. It had expansion options with cartridges and SIMM RAM and font options, but they weren't strictly needed.

For practical purposes it doesn't really matter because most real world computation is an approximation anyway. AI researchers don't care much about impossibility results because their goal is human level artificial intelligence and they consider people to be existence proofs that such computation is possible to engineer artificially. Basically, AI researchers believe that people are just walking computers/robots so they're not at all concerned about theoretical obstructions to constructing generally intelligent software systems.
