Honestly, if you surprised me with a computer running Windows XP I think the most immediate feeling I would feel for that computer is love. Windows 95/98 would also bring up some feelings but not as much as XP.

But yeah, "business as usual" Windows without nostalgia attached is hard to love, in my opinion. For the most part it just works decently but has a "It doesn't seem like I'm in control of my computer, really" feel to it.

I picked up a couple of micro:bits out of curiosity and was impressed by the build quality. The after-market eco-system was impressive too, and I wrote a couple of projects to see what I could do with them. My favourite has to be the Wireless MQTT client (https://petergarner.net/notes.php?thisnote=20220502-BBC+micr...) which used a bolt-on IOT module card. Prior to that I'd installed a micro:bit in a small leakproof sandwich box bolted to a drainpipe which transmitted light level and temperature value to my computer inside the house (https://petergarner.net/notes.php?thisnote=20200125-Experime...). Hats off to whoever designed the device as it withstood sub-zero and summer temperatures without faltering. Great times!
For RF low cost tooling I suggest Evilcrow RF v2 (https://github.com/joelsernamoreno/EvilCrowRF-V2) instead of Yard Stick One.
If you underclock the Threadripper to get a score of ~27k, then how much power will it use? I wouldn't be surprised if it was roughly equal to 90W, or even lower.

The stock configurations for a lot of desktop chips is to get the maximum performance at the expense of power, especially for things like these Threadripper series which are explicitly aimed at maximum performance. Often even drastically reducing power usage only gives modest performance penalties.
Because if there was only one button then you couldn't leave the lowest one undone, which is the style. Therefore, two are required.
The thing that bothers me for instance, living in SF, is that SF has always been kinda nuts. However. In the last 8 years SF traffic tickets issued have fallen by 97%. [1] Now I know that in the last 8 years people didn't suddenly become 97% better at driving. That kind of thing really skews my perception of the statistics.

When I hear mass shootings happen in Bernal and near 24th, and my street gets looted several times -- but crime is actually down and I'm safer than ever according to the stats -- something just doesn't add up to me.

I don't think there were more murders in SF, that kind of thing gets picked up and reported - but I don't think that the number of traffic incidents per murder has dropped 97%. Therefore, I also don't think the number of property crimes per murder has dropped, or car jackings, etc. I have no basis to work from, nothing to anchor my personal perceptions of safety.

I mean ffs SF boarded up downtown for the elections in 2020. That's some failed state shit. I've got my plywood all set for 2024.

The number of killings has never been high in my recollection. Dropping by some percent, large or small, doesn't impact my personal perception of safety. But all sorts of other things do.

> plus he wanted to invade Russia.

Which worked great! I think WW2 was the first great example of how wars have become unwinnable; Germany had success conquering large swathes of Europe through sheer force, overwhelming odds and not enough time to prepare, but they couldn't make it to the UK, and Russia was just too large, too long a distance, and too harsh a climate to have any chances.

More recent examples; Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Ukraine. None of which ended up in a decisive victory.
“Server” is a long-running process that serves requests. “Serverless” means that your requests are handled by short-lived processes of some kind.

This is just the name for it. If you want to poke holes in the definition I gave, it won’t do any good, because definitions are kinda fuzzy and incomplete to begin with. If you try to argue about what “serverless” means, you’re just going to end up drifting away from the consensus about what words mean. Consensus is the only thing that matters here. Consensus generally won’t be universal—I know people that refuse to accept “literally” as an intensifier—but that is a problem we have to deal with.

> not a microscope but some unrecognizable tech

But that is the beauty of a microscope. It is not some “unrecognizable tech”. Seeing tiny things in detail is a basic skill many new civilisations can re-discover on their own. It doesn’t matter if it is our human descendants, smart octopuses or the silurians. They will be interested in seeing tiny things and thus they will construct their equivalent of microscopes.

The important thing is sign-posting. How will they know where to look?
Thanks. I thought the article was some sort of future fiction thing but apparently this is real?
When I see something so over-engineered on the aesthetics front, my knee jerk reaction is to think "this is overcompensating, and i guess they don't really have what they promise"
Color blindness compatible design is, IMO, a very neglected part of the equality debate, in many other fields. This disability has a very skewed gender ratio due to how it works genetically.
Thank you for this.

I am a beginner hobbyist in server tech.

I am running into the perennial latency Vs throughout problem.

A batch of queue can hide latency problems. If you process 1 million per second (1 batch or 1 million separate requests) with 100 nanosecond latency or 10 microseconds per batch.

In XFaas do they run an interpreter in a thread ? Or a warm process?
> I had so many problems with uploading photo albums for example

I suspect it is by design, in a way. FB is not a photo storage platform, they need to compress the images a lot. A single photo may increase interaction and hence metrics like MAU but a whole album is unlikely to do so.
> if a nuclear war was to break our (for whatever reason) the US now appears to have an edge over Russia

What does that mean? Are you not aware that even a relatively small amount of 10 average modern strategic nuclear weapons is enough to trigger a 100year nuclear winter? US and Russia have a combined number of 10k+ of them. I thought there were engineers on this forum. Saying what the OP did would get you fired in my company same as saying what you did. Not for the ideological implications, but because of the complete lack of critical thinking. Are you getting any of this?
>Instead, it was likely that most of the west's missiles would be able to disable most of Russia's weapons before they could get to their targets, while the reverse was not true.

How is disabling most of Russia's nuclear missiles OK? How will wiping out a few of North America's urban centers ensure western dominance?

Who made this analysis? The "Real American Association Against the Degenerate Urban Elites" or something?
You are right that redirect_uri must match the exact registered redirect_uri.

But some providers allow query parameters. For Microsoft, it was possible in 2020 when I reported the vulnerability. In 2022, they restricted query parameter support to only applications that is built for Work and School accounts and in August 2022, they added a section for this in the documentation.

Microscopes are old tech. The first ones were constructed in around 1600.
Is that really the expectation? That fire would only be used within the extremely limited range of temples? It seems more likely that there would be fires for cooking and basic industry all over the city. This would have a big impact on how the city looks. Maybe they are using induction for cooking?
It's clear that you can get some actual neurons in a dish to behave as an artifical neuron network. It is a fascinating concept as a research question. What's not clear is what is the business value here - do they expect these natural networks to outperform ANNs for any foreseeable application?
Back in the day - 1998 to 2003 - if we were backing up data for a rebuild, we'd check for mp3s and pirated movies, it'd be obvious when copying the data back to the users computer. The music just got added to the technician room playlist.
Very cool. When I was living in Paris I wanted to do something similar (but without the driving / directions part). I just liked walking randomly in the city and wished someone could tell me about all the interesting little bits of culture and history of the places I strolled past.

...which is kind of what is being complained about by GP. I'm not going to pretend that anyone who can actually read this readme has enough expertise in p2p networking to remake bifrost (obviously it's quite a thing, if it does what it says it does) but at a glance it certainly feels that way.
> I don't understand why it's better to emulate only one fixed terminal type

It's not simply a terminal type; it's an ECMA and ANSI standard.

The thing not to understand here is why anyone in 2023 still worries about terminals that don't yet speak a standard protocol we have had since ... 1976.
Traffic lights are still fine for colour-blind people aren't they? The order of the lights doesn't change.
Yes I agree, but in a dictatorship the interests of the country and the interests of those at the top are not aligned.

Another example of this recently - imprisoning your top entrepreneurs is a great way to ensure that your tech industry completely dies, but only over a long time frame as nobody comes up to replace the current companies (they all leave if they can). In the short term it offers great opportunities to enrich the leadership at the expense of all that wealth generated in previous decades, and at the expense of course of the country's future wealth.

So long term a disastrous decision for the country, short term it pays out for the current leaders if their cover up domestically is sufficiently thorough and there are other events to distract the populace (e.g. expansion through war).
The idea of C4 is to document the higher-level elements of the system - applications, components and the like. The first three Cs stand for "context", "container" and "component", while the fourth level, "code" is deemed optional.

IcePanel [0], a great tool for building C4 documentation, renames "containers" to "applications" for clarity, and instead of code diagrams simply links to the corresponding repos.

Anecdotally I find my m1 laptop and ryzen 5000-series laptop to have similar energy efficiency, but I don't have much hard data.
When it comes to laptops idle efficiency is king and this is where it gets hard to test the chips because the rest of the motherboard also has a role.

For my m1, opening a vm or just plugging in a wireless mouse dongle is all it takes to shave several hours off the lifespan, like from 20 hours to 10.

For the amd laptop, anything waking up the nvidia gpu will do the same, like 10 hours to 3.

When you're talking such low amounts of power, the networking card, sound card, display efficiency, ssd efficiency, and whether the system chooses to run the fan or let the cpu stay warm starts to matter a lot since just like the cpu these are things that are running at the same time.
So I guess a fair test would have to use the same ssd and have the monitor off, using an external monitor. Then you're just stuck with the efficiency of the parts of the motherboard you can't choose.
there are people thinking government should leave economy alone, there are people thinking central banks should use financial tools to control inflation and other things. China is not covering up, it is trying to control a crash.
I know that smarter people than me have discussed this to death, but IMO, you simply can't make statistical arguments like that.

Let's say you have an input x and a step function f such that the sequence x, f(x), f(f(x)), ... contains (in whatever sense) a conscious mind. Once that sequence is defined, it doesn't (and can't) logically matter whether it is evaluated once, twice or a hundred times, whether it is evaluated on a slow computer or fast computer, or, in fact, not evaluated at all. There is always only one sequence, and the act of evaluating adds no information to it.
Since they're both neural networks, what questions have changed? I don't see what that clarifies or confounds about the nature of consciousness.
Because it runs through 1500 charging cycles and capacity degrades.
The problem with base64url is that ~ and . are not letters. This means that double-clicking on something encoded with base64url isn’t going to select the whole thing if you want to copy-paste it. This is annoying needless friction in a huge number of use cases. Base62 encoding (0-9A-Za-z) is almost as efficient as base64url and retains URL safety but is more easily copy-pasted.

If you want to eliminate ambiguity for human readers, you can drop to Base58 but in almost all cases, if you are BaseXX-encoding something, it’s long enough that copy-pasting is the norm, so it doesn’t usually matter.

The Reader's Digest article is just a mediocre summary of the Atlas Obscura one it links to: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/japan-green-traffic-li...

Although the latter does contain a complete misrepresentation of what "grue" means.

The explanation is still unsatisfying. Japan had green lights, referred to in law by a word which means blue but has traditionally encompassed green as well. Pedants pointed out that it would be better if the law explicitly said green. Rather than changing the law or letting things be, the government ordered lights be changed to blue-green. This is, on the face of it, completely insane behaviour, but neither article attempts to explain why the government did this.
Things in Russia could have gone the other way, and I believe nearly did due to Stalin's paranoid purges of the officer corp and his unhelpful interference in military matters.

For instance, significant web sites must have a functionning noscript/basic (x)html portal where reasonable (and you can browse maps more than ok with noscript/basic (x)html browsers). Just think semantic 2D simple HTML documents (tables are not harmful), and the table "rules" are semantic information in a 2D documents. And when I say "semantic", it is not that abomination of "semantic" web from a decade ago.
Fractint was an excellent program for making Stereograms, and I believe it can still be used for that task.

I learned this lesson in my first ever public lecture. Approximately 10% of my audience had some form of colour blindness, rendering the majority of my figures incapable of communicating their intent.

Since then I have rendered all figures for public consumption in black and white, and lines instead of surfaces where possible.

I just moved our website from semantic to tailwind after I didn’t understand the semantic bits anymore.

Main problem was: the semantic css was elegant, but understanding it again after half a year of not editing the page took super long.

Tailwind is clear. The code looks uglier but I instantly know what’s going on. No hidden things. And no fear in editing a piece of html that it will break sth else.

Huge upside.
They promised there children programming jobs and a golden future. But the party wants them to work in factories, just like dad did.

Neat! Some of the enumerated rights in the Finnish constitution from https://finlex.fi/en/laki/kaannokset/1999/en19990731.pdf :

> Everyone has the right to life, personal liberty, integrity and security.

> No one shall be sentenced to death, tortured or otherwise treated in a manner violating human dignity.

> Everyone's private life, honour and the sanctity of the home are guaranteed.

> The secrecy of correspondence, telephony and other confidential communications is inviolable.

> Everyone has the freedom of religion and conscience.

> Everyone has the freedom of expression.

> Everyone has the right to arrange meetings and demonstrations without a permit, as well as the right to participate in them.

> Everyone has the freedom of association.

> Those who cannot obtain the means necessary for a life of dignity have the right to receive indispensable subsistence and care.
> If you're really trying to preserve basic knowledge to restart civilization, I'd think you'd want libraries of full-size readable books spread across the world. Not something that requires you to first build a microscope.

It's not an either/or though. Optimistically we'll be able to store all our collective knowledge in all accessible formats, digital / internet accessible, libraries, etc.

But nobody can see the future. Having this as a backup sounds great. Archive all of e.g. Wikipedia, put it in a time capsule along with a microscope and/or readable instructions on how to make one, make thousands of them and put them in landmarks, caves, monuments, dumb sattelites that are designed to land on ground in 10.000 years, the moon, around the sun with a homing signal (e.g. reflective surface since electronics won't work after 1000 years), etc.

A library can catch fire, the earth may get glassed in WW3, but surely some of these would then survive for future generations or alien archeologists in the millennia to come.

I don't understand why tailwind would force you to write more divs then CSS. How do selectors solve the problem of how many elements you need to use to achieve the same design?

Regardless, the ex-ceo of WebSummit has made comments similar to what the UN is stating. I don’t see why that’s a cancellable offense or antisemitic. I suspect his connections to Qatar are what got him in real trouble.
> You originally said that "quantum computers will be able to break satoshi's keys"

I said "Eventually with quantum computing or other advancements, someone will break the encryption and potentially swipe the part of Satoshi's coin."

As one part of my message. Now read the second, longer part.

Summary: "Whoever has control of the early issued coins, holds a leverage that is dangerous and has extortion properties." Not just for Bitcoin either.

What I was getting as we the concentration part and because of the amount, the desire to find Satoshi's (and other early crypto) keys will be immense whether that comes from technology or physically located.

Those keys are locked in earlier encryption algorithms and will be easier over time, maybe a long time, but still.

The longer the time actually the more concentration it may have depending on many factors but still.

The other concentration problems have also been seen in other areas like hosted wallets and shared mining sites/services. Situations for control of large amounts would be some hosted wallet sites being compromised and collecting keys or even using exploits/holes without the keys then issuing a broad push of many accounts at once, or even slowly.

Concentration in wealth, currently and banking is always a problem. In newer financial markets with less regulation there are always more gaps from many facets to technology to processes and tools.
One thing with the early sci-fi is you will have to pretend you don’t know what we now know about the other planets. Asimov (The Martian Way I think got Saturn’s rings very wrong) and Heinlein (Mars and Venus are both depicted very wrongly and still a very entertaining story in Double Star) had a few stories and novellas.
