The Future of Pretendo After Nintendo Network
The full title is "Study sheds light on the white dwarf star, likely destroyer of our solar system" - and it's a really clickbaity one, I expected better of the Guardian TBH! The title sounds as if a white dwarf might come along and destroy the Solar System - instead, the Sun will eventually (in a few billion years) turn into one, and when that happens, of course the Solar System is done for - the details in the article are just about how exactly Earth and the other objects will meet their end. The consensus seems to be that Earth will be destroyed already during the earlier red giant phase.

I think this is a bit of an apples and oranges moment.

While I agree transport confidentiality is important, that is not what DNSSEC solves, nor should you see people saying that it does solve confidentiality.

DNSSEC protects the transport integrity of DNS responses. DNSSEC enabled zones 100% defeat on-path cache poisoning attacks to recursive resolvers that are DNSSEC enabled. Full stop.

ADo"X" protects the transport confidentiality of DNS responses. I suppose this "weakly" protects the transport integrity of DNS responses, but, again, the primary purpose is confidentiality.

After reading RFC 9539, it's clearly stated that it's opportunistic encryption. An on-path attacker will find it trivial to disable encryption and start poisoning caches. The RFC states in multiple places that if TLS setup fails, fall back to plaintext DNS.

If DNSSEC fails, an on-path attacker has no similar recourse. A properly configured recursive resolver will SERVFAIL and _never_ send back a potentially poisoned response to clients for DNSSEC signed zones.

Giving the underprivileged tools to work on themselves is a huge win for society, regardless of the fidelity of all interactions. There are a lot of bad therapists in the world, and not all of them are going to give good advice all the time. But, bad therapists can still provide some information that may be useful to the person learning. Why would we expect perfection from interacting with an LLM instead of a bad therapist? Why be overly concerned about the possibility of introducing "bad data" in such a session? It could be that bad data then gives way to an opportunity for a leap of logic for the one using the tool. Without critical thinking present, it is unlikely anyone is going to learn to be adaptive over the long term.

Obviously, the use case matters. I'm not saying to give such a tool to someone who is mentally ill, or incapable of critical thought.

In general, I think expecting perfection from LLMs is unreasonable. If someone wants to learn to code, the second they have any interaction with an LLM about coding is the moment they begin to learn. I'm not sure about y'all, but a lot of times when I'm working a hard coding problem, I find myself going through confusion, frustration, interest, and then aggressiveness (anger+interest) to get through the challenge. I frequently tell people who are starting out coding that coding is one of those things that you have to get used "being confused about" to over time. You have to get used to creating problems for yourself, then coping with the feelings that come, and pushing through to a solution.

I do think you raise a profound point about ability to evaluate the fidelity. I would argue that some people will eventually develop critical thought to apply to the problem, but if we instead see a "digital tragedy of the commons" happening, things could go sideways pretty quickly.
If this is true, what then? The idea was that AI/Robots would work for us. It would be unethical if we force conscious beings to work for us. It's like slavery all over again.
Everything you say is true... but;

Indeed, I keep quoting a remark by Ian Sommerville (a pioneer of
software engineering), which I believe is authentic - he said that he
thought he had "wasted his time" on that whole life project.

It's similar to Sir Tim Berners-Lee 's remark that the Web was "a
mistake" (not the comment about slashes and colons - a much darker
comment about the failure of humanity to use tools, and one that seems
to have been airbrushed off the net (or I am a very bad researcher),
perhaps by Sir Tim himself. I'd much appreciate it if anyone can find
a source of that still around).

Anyway, the answer is idealism and opportunity.

It is precisely because people are enslaved by tech.

It is exactly because we have a fragile infrastructure.

It is because business exploits and enshitifies everything it touches.

That creates the conditions, the opportunity to free people, build a
strong and secure digital world, to replace shallow money grubbing
apathy with principled visions, to reduce complexity, to defeat malice
and weak mindedness.

There are many better paid and easier jobs to do. But software is one
of the fundamental battlegrounds of humanity now. Who would not take
up arms and revel in their time? Much else depends on it; the
environment, education, health, peace and prosperity.

I hope there are some young and optimistic people reading this, but I
suspect the whole thread will be flagged and nuked by the cynical
anti-humanists milling around these these parts.
Cool result! But does it replicate?
Yes, I purchased it from them.
>Is there a decent marketplace for used Lithium packs yet?

Nope.

I would love to see this change. With lead-acid batteries for example, they pay me to bring my used one in when I need/want a new one.
100% so.

That was bad enough, but the point where you really couldn't take it seriously was when, after having said he didn't want decentralised version control, he said he wanted "Pull Request as a first-class citizen". What would he need pull requests for in the first place, in his non-decentralised world with just a single centralised repository?!?

> found recycling to not be cost effective.

Cost effective for who?

If you legislate that the producers of packaging have to pay for whatever system they choose to clean up after themselves then they tend to reduce how much plastic they use, and make what they do use easier to recycle.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_producer_responsibili...

If you let them offload the costs as externalities, then they'll do whatever is cheapest for them, which is pretending to recycle.

To add to what aszantu said: plants with deep roots can be very healthy for a garden because they essentially draw nutrients that have soaked deeper into the soil back up. So one way of looking at them is that they are basically mining soil nutrients from below for your garden for free. Perhaps that will make repeatedly mulching them a less frustrating task.

Also, while there are of course legitimate reasons to consider certain plants weeds (e.g. they maybe be poisonous, toxic, or displace other plants that you like more), dandelions are mainly the victim of marketing from pesticide manufacturers half a century ago.

Thanks for reporting that! Could you tell me what device this was on? I've tried it on a couple of different iOS devices (my iPhone 15 Pro, an iPhone 15 and an iPhone 13 mini) with iOS Safari and Firefox Focus, but couldn't reproduce it. As you can probably tell, I'm not a front-end developer. :)
Discrete is the opposite of integrated, as in integrated circuit.

In practice, it means using multiple components. In a strict sense it means no integrated circuits at all, I suppose. But it's also a relative thing. So while a 7400 series chip is not a "discrete" component as most would think of it, using a hundred 7400 series chips to implement a processor is relatively more discrete than a microprocessor. (It's certainly not as integrated.)

Since the early 1980s, Ethernet interfaces have used used custom chips, because the amount of logic required would need dozens of gate-level chips otherwise (as seen here!)
A method I use with ChatGPT is to purposefully add typos to make it reply with more specificity.

Imho it seems to work.
Yeah, this community prefers that these kinds of exploits (that require physical possession of the device to recover power over it) aren't patched. I don't see anything morally wrong with it. If security comes to the cost of the user losing control over the device, it is not security, it's abusive DRM.

First, coins like Bitcoin, which are based on the proof-of-work algorithm, are likely more energy intensive than mainstream finance. (But note that this intensity seems to be declining with time.) Second, coins like Ethereum, which are based on the proof-of-stake algorithm, are likely (far) less energy intensive than mainstream finance.

So that’s what the data says. But somehow, I feel like this evidence will satisfy neither the crypto critics nor the crypto advocates. And that’s why in the appendix, I add some obligatory speculation. But for now, let’s conclude with just the facts. To date, it seems clear that Satoshi’s claims about Bitcoin’s superior ‘efficiency’ have not come to fruition.

Switches didn’t require one port per host. They required one port per layer-2 network segment. The original switches I deployed had a handful AUI ports to which we attached to 10BASE5 transceivers. Hosts still connected via 10BASE2 or 10BASE5 to the “single wire” of their layer-2 network segment.

Over the years the cost of switches lowered to the point where it became cost effective to directly connect hosts and reap the benefits of reducing layer-2 segments to a single host. In between there was also a time where most hosts connected to hubs which then connected to switches.

No, but 22% of tackled issues not being resolved correctly hints at how bad it is. Id guess that in these 22%, most of them have bugs or miss edge cases, considering it completely failed to solve 80%.

You're thinking in human dimensions. With so many dimensions available, it might be the case that one dimension represents the "animal" dimension, and the others represent other features. Oversimplification obviously!
There's more to it than that. Our freight trains are much larger, heavier, and longer than swiss/European freight trains. It's not unreasonable to think that a passenger train sharing track space with North American freight trains would need to be more heavily built, if withstanding a collision is a goal.
There's so much wrong with this that it's hard to see if there's anything at all right with it.

> More specifically, it doesn't work offline.

??? Of fucking course it does! You mean Git Hub doesn't work offline, don't you?

> It relies on merge controls that aren't even a part of git with Pull Requests.

No, git doesn't "rely on merge controls that aren't even a part of git". Other things do. Things people nowadays confuse with git. People like, apparently, the author of TFA. (And no, the "F" doesn't stand for "fine" in this case.)

> Dump the decentralized model.

You can do that yourself: Just don't use it.

> Move a lot of the work server-side and on-demand.

Sure, just ssh into the server and run your search there. What's your problem?

> Pull Request as a first-class citizen.

A: Huh? But that's part of a decentralized workflow, and didn't you just say to "Dump the decentralized model"? Make up your mind.

B: "git request-pull": https://git-scm.com/docs/git-request-pull

> Why did SVN get dumped then? One word: branches.

Yeah, that is a bit ironic... Seeing as how git's killer feature was branches, and for the last ten years (or how long has it been; at least five?) everyone has been pooh-poohing them and going on about their "linear commit history", as if that were somehow so fucking important.

> I also think programmers love decentralized designs because it encourages the (somewhat) false hope of portability. Yes I am entirely reliant on GitHub actions, Pull Requests, GitHub access control

Who told you to make yourself dependant on all that shit? I sure didn't, and I'm pretty sure git didn't either. Sounds -- again -- like your problem is with GitHub, not with git.

> I could move the actual repo itself to a different provider.

Your problem is probably that you think you need a "provider" in the first place. Just put a fucking ordinary git repo somewhere, and use that.

Sheesh.
Very nice work. I've always tended towards libraries that automated more the mapping of database entities to their language-specific representation, such as Dapper on .NET. SQL is generally quite fine as a query language, warts and all. Better than digging through docs and issues to find out how to issue some lesser-used functionality that may or may not be supported by a query builder.
No, network cards use chipsets, meaning, most of the logic is inside one or two large ICs (Integrated Circuits). What the poster is doing is creating a card using the simplest existing ICs which contain simple logic circuits such as NANDs, multiplexers, etc.

No, most use much more complicated ICs. This isn't fully discrete (individual transistors, diodes, etc.) but only uses 7400-series logic ICs, not ASICs.
there's not much to see except a google form for signups and gumroad link for payment. it only has glacier national park configured right now.

the notification system is a github action that runs constantly, scraping the api that makes the reservation.gov permits, and then checking if any of the subscription notifications have changed.

the sign up is a google form that triggers a zapier and adds the new notification subscription to a google sheet. the spreadsheet is used in the github action. the zapier also sends an email with a payment link to the user.

you sign up here: https://forms.gle/eftvBZwapnQb8RmT8

and that sends you a link to pay: https://smcalilly.gumroad.com/l/qxvph

and then it's setup.
> we continue to live with those repercussions today

I've yet to have an answer for what the repercussions in the developed world of non-recycling plastics actaully is. Once plastic is thrown away it can be put in landfill and my understanding is that landfills in the developed world are as a rule well sealed and the leakage is negligible. Landfilled plastic rather than recycled plastic means more oil gets turned into plastic rather than burnt for energy, increasing the price of oil and thus increasing investment in more carbon neutral energy sources.

So I struggle to see the benefits of cost-inefficient plastic recycling, particularly compared to all the other things that could be done with those man hours.

Google is aware and has enabled DNSSEC on their recursive resolvers for a long time.

Unfortunately, most people do not DNSSEC sign their zones, so Google have to resort to also enabling 0x20, which is helpful, but also (to an extent) security theater.

I get your angel, and partly agree. Feudalism might not be a perfect way to describe this tension. But at it's core, we are talking about a concentration of power.

Feudalism is defined by a few noblemen owning huge swats of land, lending it out in exchange for labor. The fewer owners of land, the more concentrated is their power. They dictate the rules. That is Meta, Google, Amazon etc today – a lot of power held by a few men.

The more interoperability we implement in this web we call the internet, the more diversity we get. It has made it possible for me to host my own presence on the social web from a tiny computer sitting next to my freezer.

I'm using GoToSocial, which is a piece of software built by a bunch of people collaborating. They have much less power over my online social life than what Mark Zuckerberg had when I was still using Facebook! I can contribute to GoToSocial at their code forge, adding code, bug reports, feature request or voice my opinion on the direction of the project. If I would hit a major disagreement, I could relatively easily move to one of the many other software projects that uses the same protocol and not risk being cut off from my entire social network online.

To me, this feels very empowering!

Multi-Platform OSS Tool for LLM Comparison and Parameter Tuning
This project started initially as a CLI app to test combinations of inference parameters using grid search (thus the name Ollama Grid Search), but evolved into a multi-platform desktop application.

Here are some of its features:

- Automatically fetches models from local or remote Ollama servers;

- Iterates over different models and parameters to generate inferences;

- A/B test prompts on different models simultaneously ;

- Makes synchronous inference calls to avoid spamming servers;

- Optionally output inference parameters and response metadata (inference time, tokens and tokens/s);

- Refetching of single inference calls;

- Model selection can be filtered by name;

- List experiments which can be downloaded in JSON format;

- Configurable inference timeout;

- Custom default parameters and system prompts can be defined in settings

Source code and (unsigned) releases for most major platforms available at:

https://github.com/dezoito/ollama-grid-search

I would sincerely appreciate some input and suggestions on how to make this more useful.
