they are getting better. every year there's the promise of a new big leap forward in a few years. but in the intervening few years all the previously announced "big leaps" come to market, so by the time an announced technology comes to market, it's just an incremental improvement.

go back to 2010 and show past you the batteries we've got now, you'd be impressed by what huge progress there was.
Not an OpenType expert but there seem to be two ways to store bitmap data: EBDT and sbits. From what I understand, both can store different sizes. For the latter the Microsoft documentation is pretty clear: "A font can also include different bitmap data for different sizes (“strikes”)"

I'm a 3D printing enthusiast. I find this to be incredibly interesting.

There was an interesting product at CES that used a gelatinous bed into which resin is injected and cured making it possible to print objects without supports.

Being able to do this with metal opens up a ton of future manufacturing options. It's not quite the same process and it's quite early, but with refinement this could be a very interesting future option for quickly building entire objects in minutes that would normally take hours.
Ok, the rewritten article is up, if you have any feedback I'd be most grateful.
They do affect me - non-technical members of my family are on iPhones and I’m glad they can’t install malware by accident.

More generally, I don’t believe I nor anyone else should mandate anything about a private software company’s product roadmap (least of all spiteful bureaucrats obsessed with targeting American technology companies).

The precedent this sets is absurd. The market already provides a solution outside of arbitrary coercion: we all have the freedom to purchase other products.
Interesting that you're taking my observation of other humans as defending them!

You can’t really describe the events like this and leave out the massacres and the number of refugees storming into neighboring countries as a result. This kind of narrative would have Britain start World War 2 as we can easily omit all the Nazi atrocities and powergrabs in Czechia and Poland, just like we can omit the atrocities and land grabs committed by Zionists prior to the Arab invasion.
good article. I struggle as well to not doom scroll the big social media apps.

I sometimes need to uninstall the app completely to remind myself of how much of a time grab it is.
But I cant lie, a lot of content can good, but its buried beneath a lot of distractions. Like twitter for example, when you click into a tweet, if you want to scroll the replies, you are given both ads and other unrelated "viral" videos spliced in between the replies that are meant to trigger you into doom scrolling as opposed to interacting with the original post lol.

I think its a big reason why i enjoy road trips so much because in many places across the US where i travel there are dead zones (at least my wireless provider) and i go hours without notifications or internet access. plus im driving haha.

as a side note, i remember reading Pornhub had a new "reels" like feature, i think it was in beta mode last i checked and havent heard it mentioned since so not sure if its still live (although reddit has had very similar short explicit content for years now). No knock on pornography but these trends are seeping into every form of media now. i feel as though these apps are training us to make all content an immediate "elevator pitch" (i'd guess about < 1sec to impress or you're scrolled past). how this affects us as a society in interpersonal relationships...i think we all know

For the “Newspaper of Record” to report such fantastical news stories, as if anecdotal reports and opinions are real news, shows the obsession with the left wing media against Twitter and their hope and vibe about its imminent collapse.

Why write such articles at all? It’s “The NYT never said it would collapse, they just reported numerous articles implying it MIGHT collapse and everyone says it will!” OK!
> Can you expand on the "All modern clients randomise the host part of the address" statement. Do they randomize this host part for every session or just once per network?

In practice, most OSes generate a new address once per day, but more significantly, it is completely normal for an IPv6 host to have multiple addresses per interface at the same time. In fact, it is effectively mandatory to have at least two:

First, you must have a link-local address (fe80::/10), which is non-routable. This is required for SLAAC and DHCPv6 to work. Second, if you want to talk to the rest of internet, you need a routable address (from SLAAC or DHCPv6).

In practice, it's even more than that:

The computer I'm writing this on currently has 12 IPv6 addresses on one ethernet interface. Besides the link-local address, it has as a bunch of routable addresses on the prefix delegated by my ISP. All but one of the routable are "deprecated" which means that they won't be used for new outgoing connections, but remain active for existing connections.

So not only do you get a new randomized address every 24 hours, you may have an arbitrary number of randomized addresses active at any given time.

There's nothing stopping a privacy-focused Linux distro from generating a new address for every outgoing connection, and having them all active at once.

I use Twitter, and I detest it. It's mostly spam.

This actually came up in a conversation yesterday, funnily enough: I'm mostly using Twitter because I'm curious as to how much worse it's going to get. So far, I've seen them allow NSFW paid-for advertisements, doxxing of well-known figures, daily crypto mention farming spam (with highly suspicious, easily-detectable patterns, spread across ~10 accounts per day), obvious engagement bait to benefit from ad-revenue sharing, fake interaction spam, and plenty more.

As an excerpt, the @support account on Twitter is completely dead, too -- if I remember correctly, the last reply to an issue was around August / June of last year. So clearly they don't have the staffing needed to support... well, the support, and they seem to have issues admitting that.

That becomes even more clear when you look at the spam on the platform: obvious spam patterns are completely ignored, with reports going to the wayside, and crypto / NFT spam being left up to victimize someone who doesn't know what it really is. It's quite grotesque.

Even though a lot of people may use the platform, quite a substantial amount of people also speak out about how much worse Twitter has got since the acquisition -- while I have nothing against Elon Musk, I find it quite amazing how badly the platform seems to be doing ever since he's been at the helm.
The issue with the goal arising out of nothing is just that. To put it another way, a goal arising out of nothing is an effect without sufficient cause to explain it.

I don’t understand why this comment is downvoted. The studies do show a link between non Hodgkin’s lymphoma and roundup.

Sigh.

No. mDNS is not mandatory (e.g. my TrippLite UPS management card doesn't support it), and it requires active device participation. If a device is busy or slow to respond, you'll miss it.

DHCPv4 leases are authoritative, and they don't require device participation for discovery.
> So if I have 1000 devices I have to advertise every single one to my ISP?

Generally: No, if they use Prefix Delegation (which is what most non-mobile ISPs use). Your router sends a DHCPv6-PD request and the ISP delegates a /48 (usually) or /64 (if they are run by morons) prefix to your router. Your router advertises that prefix on the local network, and hosts self-assign addresses within that prefix.

> Couldn't they start a pricing based on how many devices I have?

Most OSes generate new random addresses every 24 hours (and keep old addresses with open connections), so there is no reliable way for your ISP to determine how many hosts are on your network.
Your emergency disaster kit should include an AR-15 or similar battle rifle. Civilization will decay considerably in such an event and it may take a good week or two to get the national guard deployed.

The trick is to realize that if you've made a good point, readers will be smart enough to notice that the other person is just coming back with new bullshit. You don't need the last word to win an argument; being first to walk away actually adds power to your argument. If you've said what needs to be said, no "whatabout" can cancel it, and you'll weaken your case if you chase after it.

I still suck at this in practice but I'm sure of it in theory!

> The anonymous IPV4 network behind a NAT, which by default is inaccessible from the Internet and which, if it fails, just leaves the local network isolated, with IPv6 turns it a part of internet, accessible by default

False, the default behavior is the same as IPv4/NAT. While the address scheme is technically "global", the firewall will still by default be blocking inbound connections to those addresses.

It is not unlike a random uuid or even a mac address in that the address is simply globally unique in nature, but not necessarily accessible unless you deliberately configure it to be, not unlike how one deliberately configures port forwarding in a local NAT based network firewall.

With IPv6 your ISP is giving your router an address "prefix" instead of just a single address as they usually do. The process of generating these addresses is therefore entirely local and anonymous from everything else on the Internet, obviously excluding hosts that are deliberately connected to who can then see the source address, but even in these cases your global address changes constantly so remote hosts still can't figure out your internal network topology. The reason these addresses are globally unique despite this is thanks to the ISP provided "prefix", which is essentially just a unique namespace.

> With the firewall as the only one separation.

As is the case with a NAT based network.
> If you just want an address that isn't routable on the Internet then why don't you just use a local/wan ipv6 address?

No. I want an address that can connect to the hosts on the Internet, but I don't want random hosts on the Internet to connect to it.

Basically, what NAT does is pretty much the perfect compromise for small-scale home/office security.
Against conventional Li ion?
It is easier to determine number of devices using network flows and DNS queries than it is to use IPv6 because of the many privacy extensions in use today.
Sorry about that, didn't realize i'm not at the right thread level.
You may want social media to be pipes, not platforms.

Convince the government to forbid the business model in which most of users are not paying customers but a product offered to advertisers. Then, social platforms will not care if you use whatever client you desire.

Big Social shareholders don’t want it, though. Being a double-sided market is addictive, and no one can compete with them if they capture the market by not charging money.
... and adding an integer to a pointer would be hellaciously expensive.

If you have the foundry SPICE models you can calculate these kinds of lower-limit values. I did this for 45nm a long time ago and vaguely recall getting numbers down in the double-digit femtojoule range for 32-bit addition, measuring only transistor R+C.

But the transistors don't really cost anything; all the CV^2 is in charging and discharging the wires. And the "C" is totally geometry-dependent. It's not like software -- at least not when you're pushing all the limits -- everything affects everything else.
I wish a map existed. I'd like to see the bad corners.
Just throwing it out there, but I think you can still buy eZ180's that run at something like 133mhz.

> You mean, you can do a rough inventory of IPv4 devices that are well-behaved and want to be found.

Incorrect. It's pretty trivial to allowlist on the firewall only hosts that have an active DHCPv4 lease. I've done it for my home network.

So you absolutely can have a rogue device, but it won't be able to connect to the Internet. This can be done with OpenWRT or Mikrotik (I have the latter).

ARP attacks, and MAC spoofing require an additional level of sophistication. With IPv6 you can legitimately have devices without any means to find out WTF they are.

> As other commenters mentioned, you can get a similar level network surveillance for IPv6 using mDNS, but at least IPv6 isn't lulling you into a false sense that you can see all the devices on your network in the lease table.

mDNS simply Does Not Work right now. Plenty of IPv6-capable devices don't support it.

The worst that can happen is that you will get sued about using unsuitable technology with built in biases to assess or grade candidates, creating systemic discrimination in your hiring pipeline.

The FTC just tore a retailer a 50mil new hole along with a 5 year order to ban the use of facial recognition software because they failed to ensure a non discriminatory environment by failing to validate AI software supplier claims about its performance.

This article does not even cover the most basic mitigation to take (which very well may be unsuitable) like removing PII (name, address). It’s trivial to prove that leaving these elements in can bias the output in various ways.

Can’t wait for every company to adopt the same AI snakeoil supplier for filtering applicants and then getting dragged into the inevitable class action with hot ugly discovery.
Claims that solar has a negative carbon footprint in high sun low cloud environments are founded. Most other claims about solar are indeed lies at worst, and hyped at best.

> obsession with the left wing media against Twitter and their hope and vibe about its imminent collapse.

Yet, you can't show me an article that says this. Is this left wing media obsession, or is this what you believe about NYT? Twitter was a hot topic and they reported on what's happening there. It's not like there were many positive things to say since the takeover.

There are similar reports of positive things people said https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/28/technology/musk-twitter-s... so it's not like only one side is presented.
Drawing a line from posting an AI generated image to being okay with rape is psychotic and certainly not the moral high ground you think it is. Nor is defending doxxing because of an unhealthy attachment with a celebrity who you feel insulted personally on their behalf.

> thermal emission effects in time-modulated media

"Incandescent Temporal Metamaterials" (2023)
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-40281-2 :

> Abstract: Regarded as a promising alternative to spatially shaping matter, time-varying media can be seized to control and manipulate wave phenomena, including thermal radiation. Here, based upon the framework of macroscopic quantum electrodynamics, we elaborate a comprehensive quantum theoretical formulation that lies the basis for investigating thermal emission effects in time-modulated media. Our theory unveils unique physical features brought about by time-varying media: nontrivial correlations between fluctuating electromagnetic currents at different frequencies and positions, thermal radiation overcoming the black-body spectrum, and quantum vacuum amplification effects at finite temperature. We illustrate how these features lead to striking phenomena and innovative thermal emitters, specifically, showing that the time-modulation releases strong field fluctuations confined within epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) bodies, and that, in turn, it enables a narrowband (partially coherent) emission spanning the whole range of wavevectors, from near to far-field

FWIW - just estimates. I had a 30 mile commute. If I drove 65-75 I could make in about 25 minutes.

One night I was on-call and drove really fast in the middle of the night and it took about 18-20 minutes.

I realized it was never worth it to shave off a handful minutes and drive way too fast to any destination.

Basic math. When you get to a certain speed, you’re shaving off seconds/minutes. 65mph is certainly better than 35mph. 90mph isn’t really better than 65-75.
Post like these always make me go into the rabbit hole of how energy dense gasoline is.

The energy density of gasoline is higher than liquid hydrogen! It does not need to be super cooled and is liquid state at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature.

Gasoline is an absolute miracle fuel. Sort of feels under appreciated to casually pump it at the gas station ha.
I've done a wide variety of hallucinogens. While I've seen things that could be described as fractal (in that they are nested and self similar), I've never seen a literal time escape fractal. In my experience, hallucinations look more like turbulent flow, like smoke. Deepdream isn't a terrible first approximation, but may give you the impression that the hallucinations are more dramatic or total than is typical.

I can't rule this hypothesis out entirely, but I'm very skeptical. Pareidolia seems more likely to me.
