Can anyone DDoS the whole internet infrastracture?
Internet is a set of routers around the world that forwards the packages to target destinations.

Imagine a situation where some actors try to send a massive amount of data per second, and they are doing this worldwide.

Could it slow down the internet because the main routers would be busy with forwarding DDOS packages?

I find if pressed, most people can't come up with anything excepting that Windows, Mac OS, and the various window managers all chose poorly when it comes to cut / copy / paste and the fact that emacs uses C-w, M-w,and C-y instead is just too mind blowing for them to comprehend.
> very confusing on the product side of things (i.e. what is it and why does it matter to me)

My initial thought was, this vision looks like what happens when a company realizes that their core product is less valuable than everything adjacent to it and starts growing their product a dozen different directions simultaneously.

But maybe there's something different about embracing this holistic vision from the start, as opposed to trying to be focused and then getting forced into scope creep.
It probably doesn't change at all.
Blog mentions a way to assign ports to hostnames so I think ports are supplied out of band to SMB client and not included in UNC.
Rail network too. We should have high speed rail all over the country - instead, witness e.g. the molasses-speed design and construction of the California High Speed Rail project.
Insightful comment -- data licensing will become a much more valuable business. That's the context with the NYTimes lawsuit -- they were negotiating a data licensing contract with OpenAI, who were dragging their feet, doubtlessly continuing to scrape. This plata o plomo lawsuit is strategically smart for NYTimes.
I'd recommend jack audio connection kit if that's your use case. You can generally get the best latency performance that your card has to offer, and the jack connection graph is superlative, in my opinion.

I think people are being a bit harsh but your original comment (especially starting with "It seems to me" which makes it sound like a value judgment) was phrased in a way that did sound a lot like you were implying that redbean was better for the same requirements, although you didn't actually explicitly say that.

I think you would have gotten a more positive reaction if you said something like "As an alternative take on the idea of an "open-source backend in one file, redbean is a much simpler, vastly lighter one-file web server + sqlite DB: https://redbean.dev/" to make redbean isn't necessarily intended to be the same type of "open-source backend in one file"

Anyway, redbean does look really neat even if it's not necessarily totally interchangeable with pocketbase

You had audio latency issues and instead of googling "Linux audio latency", you spent several hours installing distributions, kernels, graphics drivers (?), and UIs (??). You could have avoided this by doing what any windows user would have done in your situation.

>This article describes how to configure your system for recording, mixing and playing back audio as well as using it to synthesize and generate sounds. Those activities are subsumed under the term professional audio (pro audio) and typically require low latency performance.

Inequality is not at record levels, it's decreased since around 2016 in the US and it has substantially decreased globally (see recent work by Milanovic).

Israel is not "openly genocidal". I disagree that it is genocidal at all; certainly not openly. Arguments that Israel's policy is genocidal do not tend to survive acquaintance with a serious international lawyer. Human rights violations, maybe.

It is simply false that 92% of people have no effect on policy. (They elect presidents.) Maybe you think that 92% of people's preferences don't affect policy. That's almost certainly also false - use common sense - and based on correlational polisci work, in a setting where correlations are not very persuasive (I am thinking of Gilens and Page) and where the very idea of preferences is pretty suspect.

Nobody in this thread has complained about the existence of political work. They've complained about politics making the art worse. I'd say there are many cases of art which has been made worse by the clumsy addition of politics, or of bad art being praised because it had the right politics. Have you never seen that?

I think your opinions are much stronger and more certain than your knowledge base warrants.
Windows from an alternate universe where companies care mainly about the user's benefit.

I think Linux would barely be a thing at all if Microsoft had focused on clean and performant experiences that allowed users more control, flexibility, and privacy.

Instead, they put themselves through the pain and expense of pretending to care for OSS. They would have loyal customers due to the trust from a clean Windows experience.

Now Linux is nearer to an actual replacement for Windows.

SpaceX is one of the most important defense contractors in the country?
Because until that point i didn't know much about HDLs like Verilog/VHDL and how they were at a completely different level than "standard" programming languages like C/Python/etc. My then assumption was that since C was a low-level language and chip designers were working at a low-level they would be able to program in Assembly/C in their sleep and that they would be able to initiate me into the mysteries of how my C code was actually translated into electrical signals in the processor circuits. It was a big disappointment for me when i realized we were living in completely different worlds.

I actually made a deal with some of them to teach them C/C++ in return for them teaching me Verilog/SystemC but unfortunately that never came to pass. I even got me a couple of Verilog/VHDL books and FPGAs to teach myself what i call "Actual and True Hardware Programming" but haven't really sat down with it. Hopefully sometime in the future so i can finally know everything from the bottom-most layer to the top-most.
The amount of polemic going up is probably because creators are worried with the way things are going that more people just wanting to sit back and not think about the world’s problems.

> Why don't they?

To not paint a target on striking employees in case of small strikes.

> Tesla has been selling and servicing cars in Sweden from almost 10 years, it was business as usual till the union decided to strike.

The union has been trying to negotiate with Tesla during that period.

Sweden traditionally has very weak labor laws, there is not even a minimum wage. Instead, Sweden relies on strong unions, with more than 70% of employees in unions. There are unwritten rules on how businesses should behave, but Tesla just decided to ignore them.

It was OK while Tesla was still a small scrappy startup, but they're not anymore.

So the person with MS had special treatment.

And was offended by that that.

They should just tell the offended individual that if they get MS or a different serious disease (and, with MS, usually disability) they get to have special treatment.

Until then: STFU.

You would have corporations and their monopolies even without regulations. Probably even more.
What about the opposite effect? I know/think I'm addicted to cigarettes, I smoke a couple every day, but the times I've stopped smoking for weeks/months at a time (most recently a year ago), I feel no withdrawal symptoms nor typical signs of dependency. But after smoking for more than 15 years, I'm either addicted or have some sort of addiction resistance... But knowing myself with other substances, I don't think it's the latter.

Funny how different bodies seem to react very differently to substances...
While creepier, tbh, that is also not actually very unusual for the kinds of contracts Palantir takes on.
It varies by agency — either something built in house (very bad) or built by a company that knows how to acquire government contracts, of which there are few - the set of which frankly always has worse tech than Palantir. If product efficacy is not absolutely critical, the acquisition process will be driven by nepotism or other forms of corruption.

As an example for the second case in DoD space, there’s Advana.
Oh puh, I never did benchmarks (on the rpi) but had the exact same impression...much, much faster, I use my rpi4 as a backup nas with nfs and ufs2 on the external drive, and the transfer speed was much faster than linux's, also it "feels" much faster to do anything...again I had not done any benchmarks on the rpi.

And I have not even touched "kern.sched.preempt_thresh" as this is not a desktop system.

What also impresses me is that you can load a FreeBSD system to 5x maxload (or much more) and it's still usable, with Linux you have horrible stuttering (on a desktop system).
"EU id" was a shortcut for "id documents issued by EU countries", they're valid EU-wide. It's an ID card in most EU countries and that's what would be used for the purposes of this article, except for Irish citizens I guess but they are probably a relatively small percentage of EU visitors of porn sites.

Now I just noticed that although the subject is "most of the EU", this is an Irish site, so maybe they just didn't really take this into account.
chuckle, well as easy as it is to fool yourself with a search engine, at least a search engine didn't just make stuff up--somebody had to actually create a web site advocating the position you wanted to fool yourself into believing.

But LLMs face no such restriction :-) I mean, Michael Cohen just got in trouble for citing non-existent court cases. We are at the point where a lawyer smart enough to represent the president of the united states cannot tell the difference between real and hallucinated arguments.

LLMs amplify, automate, and mass produce our ability to fool ourselves into believing what we desperately want to be true.

It's scary, but I don't want to fall into the same trap that Mitch Daniels did in the OP, and conclude that an epistemic apocalypse is inevitable. Eventually, we will all acquire the necessary skepticism to not fall victim, the same way we learned to cope with chain letters, "satanic panic" over D&D, and other parasitical side effects of new technology and changing times.

I was a longtime Windows user and used Notepad similarly. When I eventually transitioned to Apple I shifted to Notes, curious why you’d not use this in lieu of TextEdit?
In my experience, Windows isn't any better.

With both OS you eventually have problems and if you are willing to solve them you can put a lot of time and effort into doing so. The only difference is the openness of the system. With Linux, you can easily go much deeper (for many reasons: community, available source code, multiple implementations for different system components, custom kernels). But don't get me wrong: More options aren't necessarily better, because it can take a lot longer until you run out of options.

> In Windows or MacOS I would have been up and running immediately.

Over the years, I have thought so too sometimes, but every time that I tried, I had to tinker with Windows too (not necessarily to solve the same issue, but then something else)...
I think that if you think those tropes are just tropes and not intentional political messaging, then there is no longer any point in discussion with your level of reading comprehension.
> make the new version of the OS appealing enough

The OS does not have "appeal." It either works and facilitates my use of my own hardware or it does not.

The only reason to think this way is because you want to turn your paying customers PCs into advertising machines that violate their privacy and turn their hardware against them. There's not amount of "appeal" you can cram into your product that will get me to work against my own interests.
Don't use the word "abuse" unless it's in the sense of "SOAP and XHR are an 'abuse' of HTTP".

The IN (internet) class is the evolutionary "towering cedar" of the moment, but there were the CH (chaos) and HS (hesiod) classes during the cambrian period; you might review those project's purposes and goals.

Arguably the abuse today is in the form of things like ten millisecond windows for retransmission and qname minimization which optimize specifically for cloud-based web services ("happy eyeballs") at the expense of all else (and seemingly without awareness of e.g. buffer bloat). There's a whole world outside of A / AAAA resolution.

It's not unheard of to see two people with pocket protectors having a knife fight (or at least poking at each other with pencils) in the hallway at an Internet confab. "RFC" stands for "Request For Comments" and BCPs (Best Current Practice) are routinely ignored.

MBTI is a pseudoscience, not a magic spell to "execute a rhetorical strategy" - or again, as a homo sapiens might call it, "talk to".
You seem to be describing a bijection. The core property of a homomorphism is that it preserves structural properties of the source in the target. But it doesn’t have to be reversible. A reversible homomorphism is called an isomorphism.

For example, if you have a property p(x, y) on points x, y in the source (e.g. in the geographic map example, p(x, y) might be the property that x and y are connected by land), then a homomorphism h that preserves p would mean that the target also has a similar property q, and that whenever p(x, y) holds, then q(h(x), h(y)) also holds.

However, there might be elements x ≠ y for which nevertheless h(x) = h(y). That is, the homomorphism may map different source elements to the same target element. One example is a projection from 3D space to 2D space.

Furthermore, there may be elements x and y for which p(x, y) does not hold but for which q(h(x), h(y)) holds. For example, in the geographic map example, the sea level in the target may be lower, so that there are more land connections than in the source. It’s still a homomorphism as long as all land connections in the source are mapped to land connections in the target. (But there may be non-connections in the source that become connections in the target.)
I'd imagine the bulk of the sales at that price point will be people or companies justifying it as a work expense.
How does it's cost to install and operate compare to gen 3/other nuclear tech? Safety is great, but nuclear is already safe enough (in the sense that, installing current and even last gen nuclear saves more lives through fossil fuel displacement than it can plausibly kill even in worst case disaster scenarios). Continuing to make nuclear safer, if it results in higher costs (and therefore reduced installs) is a bad tradeoff and has been for close to 50 years.
I agree with you, but every reason you just listed is a positive from the perspective of their customers.

I think it's practically guaranteed that Palantir is, or will be, blackmailing officials. Even if they never do, any lucid official will be very conscious of stepping on the toes of a private intelligence company.

Mass production of cars changed many things and directions.
Ok, I guess that's fair. Having worked at one of the large chip makers, I can tell you there are plenty of people who know C and Verilog, you just weren't talking to any of them. Those who need to do, and those who don't, don't. It's certainly an industry with high degree of specialization.
It would seem you have not actually seen the marketing before commenting on it.
> But this paper was critical to getting me accepted to a Ph.D. program. Why do I think that? Well I was rejected by every Ph.D. program I applied to before this publication (but that's another story), a story about people and opportunity.

This is an interesting note. We're talking about a student from one of the top CS schools (UIUC) and applying to another top school (UW). If you think about this a bit carefully, the paper being published did not change who he was or his capabilities, it was simply a difference in measured (distinct from measurable) signal.

It's incredible how many extremely noisy signals we use in academia but act as if we use a clear meritocracy. The review process is extremely noisy itself, with computer science in particular being generally more noisy given its preference of conferences over journals. I'm glad Jeff mentions people and opportunities, and it reminds me of the old saying about there being no self made man. But I think this is a very clear example of a instance where we need to think harder and more carefully. Counterfactually, it is almost certain that had that paper been rejected, but all else stays the same (i.e. getting into UW), his success story would also not change. Signals are definitely hard to measure and certainly schools are getting a lot of applicants, so I don't blame anyone for doing this, but I think it is incredibly important to remember these counterfactuals. To remember that metrics are guides and not causal variables themselves. Because there's a great irony in that metrics destroy meritocracies.
> It doesn't seem like it should be this way, but it seems to be, across countries and cultures.

That's definitely not across countries and cultures, that seems to either be specific to your country, or at least your part of the world.

Try traveling to the Nordics (specifically Sweden). Usually very tolerant of most things, few smoke but most drink. But won't look sideways at you if you don't do either.

Glad they got a high temperature gas cooled reactor up and running!

I do dislike the terminology/categorization around 'fourth generation'. The first ever proposed commercial reactor (the Daniels Pile) was a pebble bed gas cooled reactor concept, worked on at Oak Ridge in the 1940s. We've built lots of gas-cooled reactors in the past, including helium cooled ones. Such as:

* Peach Bottom

* Fort St. Vrain

* HTTR

* Dragon

* HTR-10

* AVR pebble bed

* THTR-300

* Ultra-High Temperature Reactor Experiment (UHTREX)

Nitrogen-cooled ones, such as ML-1 and GCRE

CO2-cooled ones, like EL4, Lucens, AGR, Magnox

Air-cooled ones like HTRE

Liquid-hydrogen cooled ones like NERVA

It's kinda dumb to call this the first 4-th gen reactor.

Claiming anything is eating market share from Java is like saying a toddler is catching up to an Olympic athlete.
I find it frustrating with all the multijunction research out there that there isn't "reasonable" high-efficiency cells you can get that aren't 1000x the cost of a regular silicon cell, if available at all. Maybe my google searches / interpretation of the Amazon supplier truth vs fiction is poor in this area though.

Because multijunction should be able to produce maybe 2x the power from the same surface area? I think the commodity efficiency panel is 15-20%, while multijunction can get to 30-40% IIRC.

It continues to mystify me why a viable hybrid-drivetrain RV isn't out there on the market, especially since RVs can go so high end. A typical RV has a battery, generator, etc, yet has these clunky drivetrains with poor torque and shitty hard shifts (experience: driving RVs over the appalachian and the foothills)

An hybrid EV drivetrain would have a lot more torque available, would be smoother, have regenerative braking, and it already needs a battery and a generator, so a range extender and the like shouldn't add too much to the system.

Having a solar array would be a nice bonus, especially plopping down somewhere off grid for a few days. There's the roof real estate + the canopy/sunshield when parked.

I find it hard to believe the Indiana RV cartel has an insurmountable grip on RVs. They seem so ripe for disruption, especially once the EV tractor trailers start selling in volume.

Of course the hybrid drivetrain problem isn't the RV makers problems, it's that Ford/GM never made one either. Does anyone know why? You'd think the commercial lifetimes would "payback" the initial investment premium.
Please don’t use the terms PPI and DPI and try to distinguish between them: it’s subtle at best and highly contested; in general computing, there is no difference, the two terms are used completely interchangeably. Only in a few niches is any distinction meaningfully drawn. (And the question you’re citing was largely talking about a different field, and half of its answers are mostly nonsense too.)

The distinction you have is between what I’ll start by calling logical pixels and physical pixels. “Screen resolution” here is logical pixels, and “device resolution” physical pixels.

Web specs call these CSS pixels (px) and device pixels (calculable in JS by dividing a px quantity by `devicePixelRatio`—which is incidentally subject to change within a page’s lifecycle, due to things like zooming in or out or moving to a different monitor), using a baseline of (simplifying quite a bit, actually) 96 dpi.

Android calls the logical pixels density-independent pixels (dp), using a baseline of 160 dpi. (I think they’re the outlier in the size of their dp unit? Not sure how Apple works.)

Microsoft calls the logical pixels device-independent pixels, using a baseline of 96 dpi.
