We need IPv6 because we're out of IPv4 addresses. When you launch a new ISP and knock on the door of a RIR like RIPE, they don't have any IPv4 addresses left to allocate and so you're put on a waiting list. The solution is IPv6. Even without allocating an address per device, without IPv6 just the status quo of every customer having an IP address is no longer possible.

The predecessor of my ISP introduced full IPv6 support for all customers 15 years ago. The only argument against at this point is inertia.
> plug in and the router sends the information and you're done.

If you want the network to come up in a timely fashion, the new system needs to poke the network to get information proactively sent to it as soon as possible, at which point you have about the same level of complexity as poking a DHCP server. (With added bonus "this could happen asynchronously at any time and you never reliably know when your network is actually done being configured".)

If those standards are so valuable, they should have stood on their own, as optional things people could have adopted if they wanted to do things completely differently from IPv4. Meanwhile, people already have DHCP servers, and could have just told those DHCP servers to start giving out IPv6 addresses too.

The reaction I have every time I interact with IPv6 is that it seems incredibly hard to make a system just use the configuration you tell it to use and never ever listen to any configuration from the network.
I think we have different definitions of straightforward. Liveview is straightforward to use because of Chris mccords effort and his good taste in software design and how a genserver is a good framework for state management.
Didn't the 14 inch M1 Macbook Pros start at $2000 with 16GB of RAM?

So you now have the option of a $400 cheaper 8GB version or a $200 cheaper 16GB version.
They definitely interpret things a bit differently. The main achievement here is that all the code required to run the game is now open, the game no longer jumps into original game code from the original Dungeon Keeper executable in order to function. Whether the source in itself is 100% legal is not part of that equation.
I have no idea what you are doing with your laptop. But I choose the one that‘s better 99% of the time. MacBook Pro it is.
> globally addressable ≠ globally reachable

Ideally yes, but IRL they are related concepts. Things will get misconfigured, often by default.
1. On my desktop.

2. As of right now, mostly curiosity. I have dabbled in FreeBSD on and off for years, and every time I install something from scratch I give it another go. In addition, the experience is more cohesive and "it just works" compared to almost every Linux distro I've ever used (the closest I've found is Slackware.) Let me explain.

When I say cohesive, I mean mostly that it has extremely well thought out documentation, and most common things you might want to do are in the FreeBSD handbook. Just go to the relevant chapter and read up.

When I say "it just works", I don't mean that the out of the box experience is just magically perfect and pre-configured like you might see on Windows or Ubuntu. What I mean is, the ports (and the pre-compiled packages made from them) are extremely reliable. You install them, and they work. Not to pick on Ubuntu specifically, but I have found this not to be the case more often on Ubuntu. Sometimes you install a package on Ubuntu, and it doesn't just work, and you might have to hunt down a config file to make some adjustments, its location may or may not be different from vanilla and may or may not be documented, or maybe it's a bad package and you're SOL.

Furthermore, I've found that upgrading ports and packages in FreeBSD doesn't break things anywhere near as often as on most Linux distros I've used. It's very reliable in that sense, and it just works.

3. This is older hardware for personal use, and I don't really need the enhanced security of OpenBSD, especially the enhanced security that comes with a performance cost.

As for NetBSD or DragonflyBSD, I have the impression, which may or may not be correct, that FreeBSD has better hardware support than either of them, and I want all of my peripherals to work.

4. I do most of my gaming on dedicated hardware these days (Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch), but it would be super great if the experience of playing games was more smooth. Thanks to the magic of Linux binary compatibility and Proton, you can totally play Windows and Linux games on FreeBSD with decent success, but the process of setting that up is awkward and ad-hoc.

5. See 2. Also, I like ZFS a lot, and I get the impression that getting up and running with ZFS on Linux is more of a hassle.

https://journal-njmr.org/articles/10.33134/njmr.488 says job opportunities for migrants from Thailand and the Philippines are "limited to the spheres of cleaning, shop assistance, construction works, catering (hotels, restaurants and cafés), massage studios or the Thai store", so no fishing. But "as Norwegian legislation regulating working conditions is only partially valid in Svalbard, people without permanent full-time jobs often accept conditions that are immoral".
You're always free to use a relay for privacy reasons. Many common VoIP solutions allow just that.

IPv6 (or more generally, the absence of NAPT) just changes the switch label from "try [not] to use direct connections, unless NAT gets in the way" to "[always|never] use direct connections".

In other words, it cleanly separates the two distinct concerns of privacy and connection topology. I think that's a good thing.
It would be a lot simpler for IoT manufacturers to let folks direct connect to their devices over IPv6, BUT that puts all the network management onto the user, which is a support nightmare.
Interesting read, but to me this essay projects an attitude "of course my particular brand of progressive politics* is correct, I don't need to justify it, it's obvious to all right-minded people", and I find that to be grating. The author rails against all sorts of various viewpoints and movements that he thinks are dangerous, ranging from transhumanism to fascism to right-libertarianism to accelerationism to rationalism to tech industry hype. And, while I agree that these movements can be dangerous, some obviously so, some less obviously, I think that the essay goes overboard in trying to paint them as a connected monolith of undiluted bad, despite the only tenuous relations that many of them have with each other.

There is a lot of good that can come out of some of these movements. Sure, a large part of rationalism is very cult-like and silly and I myself not infrequently make fun of it for that. But there are also many interesting non cult-like thinkers in that community. I try to take the good where I can find it. As for tech billionaires, well I think that for example Elon Musk is a scam artist and a fraud for his robotaxi hype, but that does not negate the fact that his spacecraft seem to work well and are an interesting move forward in humanity's exploration of space. I think that there has been a lot of unrealistic over-optimism about the pace of AI technology development and we are probably not anywhere close to general artificial intelligence, and I certainly don't think that a tech singularity is right around the corner, but that does not negate the fact that there have been some genuine huge steps forward in AI in the last decade and there are many constructive and beneficial things that this technology can do.

If humanity consistently thought like Charlie Stross does, I am not sure that we would be out of the Stone Age yet.

*I say particular brand because not even all progressives agree with him. There are progressive rationalists, progressive transhumanists, etc.
> hyping the current grifter's fantasy of large language models as "artificial intelligence"

I really can't take him seriously after that remark. No, language models are of course artificial intelligence, they are systems so impressive that they were considered decades away before GPT-3 released a few years ago, or, to most, even before ChatGPT, just one year ago. They of course aren't precisely the classical SciFi intelligence that Stross and his colleagues had in mind in the past decades, but that speaks against them, not against the status of language models as AI.

By the way, a better SF writer, Stanisław Lem, did predict something similar to language models: Systems that would read novels of one author and then produce similar novels as output. Basically an LM without fine-tuning.

What Stross does is the classic goal-post moving, where anything more narrow than human intelligence is ultimately dismissed as not real AI. As an added bonus, he lampoons concerns about such "real" AI scaling to superintelligence as being totally speculative. Basically, either it's not real or it's just irresponsible speculation, simple, case closed!
Starlink bug frustrates users: "They don't have tech support? Just a FAQ? WTF?"
> Do you want me to start my project and stop after the trial period ends?

CLion projects are not IDE specific. CLion uses CMake.

If the trial ends and you want to continue using it then buy it. If not, then don't buy it. Your C++ project still works in every other IDE.

The preview is working flawlessly for me BTW. I prefer it to the stable release. Existing paying users are the main target for this preview.

> This is only valuable for the company because you test their products for free

None of their paying users are forced to use it. It is entirely optional to use the beta release or remain on the stable release. I have both of them installed side by side. I prefer having the option to test it out and report bugs or provide suggestions. I am effectively paying them to develop it and so am entitled to check out their work in progress and provide feedback.

They have their own internal QA department. Early access is additional to that. Improves quality overall and is a win/win for company and users.

So far I have found zero issues to report. It just works for me.
So unexpected to see actual “hot lights” used on location nowadays. Most have gone for LED. I am kind of glad and sad at the same time.

Airplanes are not airtight, so the system is designed to continue to pressurise the cabin as the air escapes.

As they didn’t go above 14,000 feet, I’m guessing it could keep up with the pressure loss from the windows.
Shouldn’t that fire an alert of some sort that the system is having to work at higher capacity than normal to maintain pressure for the current altitude?
> Today, the gap between scholars and the public is probably much narrower.

I would argue the opposite. Each field of study has so much more depth now that on any given topic there is more that a layperson has to learn to be on par.

Lay people do tend to be much broader generalists (at least in terms of scientific understanding) than they were in 1939 but they are further behind the specialists.
It becomes way more straightforward if it's a server with redundant power supplies.
Part of the premise is that Norway shuts off oil production. Everyone looks the other way when Russia invades because they'll keep suppyling oil.
I don't think there is any society with absolutely no tipping whatsoever

there are. in china people will get confused if you try to tip. it's just not done. exceptions only in areas with lots of western tourists. apparently in japan people get offended if you tip.
There is a compatibility later for IPv6 to access IPv4 called NAT64. It requires that IPv6 have a large address space to fit the IPv4 address inside IPv6 address. There is also MAP-T which can do stateless IPv4 NAT over IPv6 network by shoving the whole NAT state, ports and address, in the IPv6 address.

The length of IPv6 addresses is an advantage because people don't try typing them because they are so long. My home network have IPv6 and I have never had to enter IPv6 address. I don't know what my prefix is, I don't know any host addresses, I use mDNS to get to other hosts.
I think it was a smart move, even if they're not useful right now.

Their eventual goal is probably to corner the "agent" market once they have more infrastructure built out. This seems like a solid stepping stone.
It's not realistic to call for people to continue reading science fiction but not be influenced by it, and it's not realistic to tell people how they should interpret ideas in science fiction. If the author thinks a technology in their books is problematic, someone is always going to say "yes it's a problem in the book, but the problems are part of a fictional narrative, whereas the idea, which is good, transcends that narrative and need not have those problems which were assigned to them arbitrarily by the author".

What filters to the front page is interesting too.

For instance, I just saw what was clearly a artificially promoted post in /new with 17 upvotes... and no real responses? It wasn't even flagged. I think it was shadowbanned from the front page, and everyone looking at /new just collectively knew to ignore it.

Another interesting bit is the flagging/vouching system. It would be in a disaster some places, but is very effective here.
Cognitive Tradeoff Hypothesis
This is a disgustingly bad look for Meta. I can't even begin to figure out how they are (read: Zuckerberg is) able to draw even the most tenuous of connections between _plastic surgery filters_ and profit. Nobody is going to stop using Meta products or looking at ads because they can't post selfies with artificially beautified versions of themselves.
There's a good book, "The Right Stuff" [0] by Tom Wolfe, which goes into quite a bit of detail about the stories and some of the psychology around being a test pilot in those days, and in particular about the men chosen as the Mercury Seven astronauts, many of whom were also later involved in both the Gemini and Apollo programs.

Yeah, that Apple case was really interesting. I always guessed that Apple could simply push a software update (possibly to everyone) that happens to open a backdoor for a specific phone. I wonder if that's what they did.
Not in my experience. It's typically an older body sitting on a back lot somewhere that they dress up as needed to make shooting easier. If you think lugging your carry-on luggage through the aisle is rough, just imagine trying to move cinema cameras through. They move the seats out of the way, so all of the support gear can be put in place.
The beken ones don't have cheap Dev boards but I heard they are better sometimes. I don't know if they're better but DIY for them isn't so far.

I don't think security is a real problem for me. Smart devices on their own intranet takes away a lot of problems.
It's not even the eventual human, humans are in data centers all the time.

Temperatures of 40° Celsius are easily high enough to kill someone doing manual manual labor. Especially because that heat isn't caused by the sun. If someone starts suffering from heat exhaustion, going into the shade isn't going to do anything to help them.
Yes, although it's not always (or maybe even often) that the reaction is because of jealousy or because people want to compete to get to the "same level".

I think that it often has more to do with the fact that nobody is actually "perfect", and so people who seem to be, or are perceived as trying to be, appear inauthentic or "fake". People tend to like real people, and real people have real flaws.
I assume they mean “flight engineer” , the 3rd flight deck crew member on planes that require 3 person crew. Although those are rare these days.

'Admitting his flaws' certainly isn't the way I would describe Jonathan Blow. Even ignoring his political turns, he's had a long history of saying some outright wrong stuff on game dev, web dev etc and being insufferably rude to anyone that tells him he's wrong. I could go off on how many ways he was wrong in his talk on Software Decline [1] or his many wrong takes on Linux. All of which he's doubled down on.

I wonder if it is technically infeasible to isolate the machine against earthquakes?
If that's the problem, then the solution would've been just adding more address space to ipv4, preserving all existing addresses and pretty much everything else about it. 1.1.1.1/32 is still 1.1.1.1/32, and new ISPs can take blocks like 72.33.22.11.33/40 once enough routers are updated to support them. This could've even used the exact ipv6 packet structure, making it quite similar to v6 under the hood but more like v4 from the user's perspective.

Instead, ipv6 created a separate world, with extra goals like making every device addressable (aka removing NAT), using randomized addresses, and resetting all ownership of existing blocks. "We're out of addresses" is not a good excuse for all that.
hardest part of managing groups of people at any scale is aligning incentives. Larger organizations have a harder time with it and the amount of money/power they have makes it a prime target for bad actors looking to exploit them for their own game

The fundamental issue for Google/tech in general is that their culture was designed to work for nerds with good intentions but now it has been taken over by the types of money chasing psychopaths who would have been working for Wall Street or McKinsey 30 years ago.

When you have a money printer like Search it attracts these types of people to try and skim some of the money in various ways by climbing the power structure. Politicians take over while the builders who create value are forced out. Culturally Google is pretty similar to corrupt 3rd world countries with oil money, lots of cash spent on leadership's vanity projects and in deep trouble if the cash cow gets disrupted
This is terrible. All such systems will have false positives. It's wrong to treat everyone as a criminal instead of reserving such systems for people who actually have been convicted of it.
Google is a public company. The money either goes to shareholders or to employing people. There is no conceivable world in which this money would have gone to any of those causes.
Lol. You must be new to SW development "good practices". If they don't "release" a new library version every second year, "god" will strike them. /s
> bHyve is a goddess

Does it work well with graphics?

I just started using FreeBSD and one of the first thing I did was to follow the Handbook instructions to set up a minimal Debian in Bhyve that I then used to access my old Linux partitions to copy files. Works very well for that and I have no complaints, but I also can't say I noticed any major improvement over Qemu?

But I made a quick attempt to also install something with graphics, probably Lubuntu, and I did not get that to boot. Is the graphics good enough to play games and run some Linux-only applications with reasonable performance?
Conservatively, working any job that lets you put 25k/year into a tax shelter like a 401k for 20 years will make you a millionaire, or at least damn close.

It doesn’t feel like he’s shitting on SpaceX. His point is still valid, however, in that we should not divert resources from, say, COVID vaccines for everyone to immortality for the über-rich.

We saw how social networks were used to destabilise democracies we took as invulnerable to such meddling. We saw how placing the accumulation of capital over all things including the welfare of our species can lead to dangerous priorities.

Well, no. There's two parts to this.

1. Svalbard is rather nice. While years there doesn't count towards Norwegian citizenship, the wages are rather high and Norwegian-like. Building up a good personal economy is certainly appealing to a lot of people.
2. There's boatloads of Norwegians married to Thai women.

However, to get to Svalbard in the first place, you need to show that you can sustain yourself without being a burden on the local society. There's no health care to speak of there (except a regular doctor). There's no social security there. You need to be able to fend for yourself and build your own thing, or have a work contract.

You can get any number of the "low end" thinkpads, which have socketed ram, and put 64G in them for ~$100. And, of course, as other people have mentioned, if you are not getting 50% off the MSRP on a Lenovo you're doing it wrong. Wait a couple of days, and it will go on sale. </wisper>

I tend to like the L14 line, because while they are a bit chunky, the parts are relatively easy to come by, and its built like a machine from a few years back, meaning everything can be swapped/upgraded. Swap the parts you don't like for something better. I've changed the ram and battery in mine for more capacity and find its nearly the perfect device for me now. I've been considering if one of the older t450ish timeframe keyboards will fit in it after noticing the older keyboards are much, much nicer than what is shipping on the more recent laptops.
