Not having heard of them is understandable, I hadn't either, but the reason people have been downvoting you is that it took you longer to write out that comment than it would have taken to do a quick google and see there's a wikipedia page that starts with "SonicWall is an American cybersecurity company that sells a range of Internet appliances primarily directed at content control and network security."
That's just a strawman. These are complex issues with complex problems. He's doing fine with the resources he has. Unfortunately, resources are naturally constrained.
It was a major issue with aluminum interconnects. It was primarily addressed by switching to a different metal that exhibits less electromigration, namely copper. But you have to be careful putting copper in a silicon fab, because if it gets into the silicon channel, it kills device performance (copper doping induces a deep trap in silicon).
"WebExtensions API" is the genericized term coined by (IIRC) Mozilla, for the (subset of the) originally-proprietary browser extension API surface exposed by Chrome, that non-Chromium browsers (Firefox, Safari) have since added support for in order to be able to support easy porting of originally-Chrome-targeted extensions.

Basically, until ~8 years ago, there were only three browsers of note with browser extension APIs (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari); and they were all proprietary and all different, so developers had to code each extension from scratch for each browser. And developers of major extensions mostly did.

But then Chromium-based browsers like Brave and Opera and Edge became a thing, and they all inherited de-facto support for what they at the time called "Chromium-style extensions." With this, the Chrome extension API effectively "won" the browser-extension-API developer-mindshare war without really meaning to. Developers became less and less interested in porting their extensions, instead opting to just focus on Chromium-based browsers, since not only was Chrome the majority of the market, but Chromium-based browsers comprised a large fraction of the remainder.

Rather than Mozilla and Apple "solving" this by coming up with some artificial new eleventh-hour browser-extension API standard to foist on Google through the WHATWG (that would have required every dev rewriting all their code), Mozilla and Apple both did the pragmatic thing, and "embraced and extended" Chrome's own extensions API, locking in "whatever Chrome was doing at the time" as now being a conventional cross-browser API. That API, going forward, was referred to in the Firefox and Safari docs — and eventually the Chrome docs as well — as the "WebExtensions API" (mostly so that Mozilla and Apple didn't have to say the words "Chrome" or "Chromium" anywhere in their docs.)

A browser saying that it supports the "WebExtensions API", means that it exposes certain browser-extension APIs in JS under the chrome.* namespace, with Chromium-compatible semantics. Yes, Firefox and Safari both present themselves as Chrome to browser extensions, up to and including answering to the name "chrome" rather than "browser" in JS. Wild, isn't it?

Note, however, that these browsers do still also expose their original, incompatible extension APIs under the browser.* namespace. And if you write your JS carefully, you can attempt to make use of these per-browser features in your extension, while gracefully degrading to a WebExtensions baseline.

Thanks for the heads up on that. I was going to try it out, but given the login requirement, Windows 11 only, and Chromium, I think I'll just be sticking with Firefox.

What's really neat about this is the technique of embedding Thorium atoms in a crystal, which makes it possible to start thinking about solid state devices (specifically: nuclear clocks) based on this.
I was testing this back in the winter. I missed the original dead internet theory discussions and was curious.

From my point of view, reddit is pretty dead, not sure there's any real conversation going on there. Of it's own doing, of course. Censor and create echo chambers and people leave. Even the people who would ideologically align with the echo chamber become bored of the lack of conversation and move on.

It's interesting, what's the point? Is reddit preventing a digg-like crash by producing fake bots. Reddit api yahoo changes suggest it's not external.

Now, I also looked into what they seem to be investigating on how to fix it. Their approach seems to be idiotic at best. Like they don't acknowledge what even caused this to them.

Now the dead internet theory isn't accurate. It's very obvious facebook and X are real conversations. It's just a matter of hasbeen social media pretending they didn't die is kind of a new thing.
$185/ton of CO2 emitted is what the study estimates to be the actual economic impact of emitting a ton of CO2, right? The current price of carbon futures is $68.80 [0].

Digging in the docs, it uses words like "inventories" and "operations" which indeed look like a configuration management system, much like Ansible, it's agent-less.

And that's cool- Ansible is a bit of an oddball system, but then I'm still left wondering, why is this better, or why it is better for the author at least?

I've used cfengine, Puppet, Chef, bcfg2 (briefly) and ansible. I want to know what makes this tool different and better. :)
Alternative title: AI leaderboards would be useful if they didn't blindly believe the author's benchmarks, included good baselines, and factored in real cost to run the model (parameter count can be misleading). Pareto curves are a good tool to decide which model is the best for a given price/performance tradeoff and should be used more

But that's not quite as catchy. Great article

The solution to keep all your calendars in sync
We all juggle at least two calendars: our work and personal lives, at minimum. Let's not even talk about family, side hustles, etc. Keeping them in sync when you might have Microsoft and Google accounts has always been a hassle until now. DASCalendar automates blocking across all your connected calendars, ensuring you never miss a beat while keeping your privacy.
So, if I understand the argument, it's that calling out the "colonization" of places like Jaffa is moral leverage in an argument for recognizing Palestinian statehood in Gaza and the West Bank?

(I don't think you need more leverage for that argument; I think it's self-evident. But ok!)
Do people actually have lab machines with shared accounts and everyone having sudo access? This sounds horrifying.. students do want to experiment, and it's enough for a single person to install gcc-5 as system compiler to ruin everyone's day.

Surely the sysadmins are doing something to prevent this? Like NFS root or at least "no sudo access" by default?

It's similar to Ansible, but uses Python as a declation language rather than YAML.

It can also run one-off commands across the infrastructure (like Tentakel: https://pypi.org/project/tentakel/ ).

I've been using Pyinfra for some time. It's good enough for me.
But I think the point people have made (correctly!) is that TSLA's price is detached from any normal way we have for pricing a car company. Their market cap is 160% that of Toyota, despite selling 16% as many cars. How are they ever going to justify their current valuation? Kicking Elon out to get rational CEO behavior could result in a rational market assessment of Tesla's value, which would be bad from the shareholders' perspective!
Along with all the far heavier electric SUVs and "light" trucks.

Is there any solution to this kind of increase in weight apart from "build stronger roads/bridges"?
>Don't even buy one of these devices.

Why not? The ones you shared cost the same as a new N100 but are more power hungry due to their age. You're also getting weaker GPUs.
To me this feels a bit backwards. The issue is not the semi part. It's nothing unique to semis. It's just that the scale of semis makes the flaws of current battery technology significantly more of an issue.

Really, the funding should go more directly to general battery RnD - not eSemis specifically.
A bot is just anything automated. Which has nothing to do with ai in any capacity, and only confuses the conversation.
Not quite, it was less just about common vulns and more inclusive of context for where you might have heard about them in the news, even as a layperson. Details like, say, "this technique was used in the Equifax hack"
> You'd ignore ARM and STMicroelectronics and TransferWise and Siemens and the rest of the globally-influential European businesses?

Technically, ARM hasn't been an EU company for a while so a lot of EU regulations probably don't affect them anymore. Also, it is mostly owned by some Asian bank.
It’s also the worst with advertising. Running CPC campaigns is useless now as bots will be pushed to your ads blowing through your ad spend.

> The whole point if async messaging is that you'll reply when you're available.

Yeah, exactly. So how does someone sending you ANY message make a difference? If you are getting distracted by a "hello" you are getting distracted by ANY message, so you may as well turn your notifications OFF and handle messaging asynchronously - its built into the system itself...
It's actually the same problem, ownership.

Who owns these batteries? Who owns these trucks? Who eats the cost on battery/truck degradation?

If I pull in with a battery that has 70% of it's original max capacity and get a brand new battery with 99% of it's capacity how do you fairly assess that value add to the truck?
Ford lost money because they went all in too fast for how late they were to the game.

And frankly it seems to be greed. They have proven hybrid and PHEV tech yet deny the US market the hybrid ranger, 'because US buyers can get the maverick'.

Except... they don't make enough of those either.

It's a truck that never leaves the warehouse or "lot". They're just used to rearrange/move trailers.
The benefit to swappable batteries in a commercial fleet is that you own all of them.

For private use, it is far more difficult. The battery is the single most expensive part of the car- who wants to drive off the lot, then two hours later trade that expensive part for one that is heavily used?

Unless the dealer or manufacturer runs all of the swapping stations, and the purchase of the car doesn't include the battery, the economics are terrible.

OTOH, if the consumer isn't paying the full price to own the battery, then the economics of swapping goes way down unless the consumer pays a hefty deposit on the battery.

Then, private sales become harder as you probably want to be able to authenticate that battery is what it is supposed to be, and not some third party knockoff.

But if you can't swap to a third party battery, the vehicle becomes worthless once those batteries are phased out.

Swapping vehicle batteries has been tried before and abandoned (I think in Israel maybe? I forget) because unless you are operating a commercial fleet where you are willing to invest in buying the extra batteries and owning them yourself (or signing a big fat contact with a manufacturer) it just doesn't make sense.
Just one in a long line of frustrating developments vis a vis broadband access for Americans. We're several decades removed from the billion-dollar giveaway to telecoms to get them to build out broadband access (at the time, DSL and cable, I believe), which they simply pocketed without missing a beat. We also could have had municipal internet services - if we hadn't let those same telecoms lobby to have them made illegal in much of the country (I also fault Google Fiber, which made waves just long enough to take the wind out of the sails of grassroot efforts before peace-ing out). Now, yet another rollback of steps we took in the right direction during the pandemic (or, rather, a rollback of the substantially less efficacious Biden-era program that replaced the pandemic-era program^1,2).

It's all so tiring.

Just the most recent episode: A statistician is using PHP, on Windows, to analyze text for character frequency. He's rather confused by the UTF-16LE encoding and thinks the character "A" is numbered 4100 because that's what is shown in a hex-editor. I tried explaining about the little-endian part, and mb-string functions in PHP. And that PHP is not a good fit for his projects.

Then I realized that this is hilarious and I won't be able to kick him from his local minimum there. Everything he could learn about encodings would first complicate his work.
I think Girard's Christianity may have influenced his thinking.

I also think that, as far as Capitalism is concerned, this may be the perfect framework to understand human beings.

> UK becomes first country to ban default bad passwords on IoT devices

It might be the first country, but as far as I know, not the first place to do that; I've read at https://www.servethehome.com/why-your-favorite-default-passw... that one state of another country has already implemented a similar law.
I would disagree with that since ansible actually does two things simultaneously: cloud provisioning and local provisioning (and that "local" is actually hiding a 3rd axis, actual local, not just local to the managed instance, say for example if you needed the azure libraries or such, you can use a pre_tasks: block to create a virtualenv and install the deps locally before firing up the main workload)

Reasonable people can 100% disagree about whether yaml is the correct packaging for those operations, and ansible is a bit too imperative for my liking, but as far as "I have one hammer..." it does all the things
Meanwhile the biggest issues I actually see in novices are when their IDE presents them with buttons that don't coincide with a single version control action (can you guess what "sync repo" will do?) and using those puts their checkout into a weird state.

Usually when using the commands directly they're more careful, but have the mindset "an IDE wouldn't intentionally break something so this button must be safe to click".
This had to have been expected since everything they have ever made has been delivered years late. Elon is nothing if not overly optimistic about timelines.
A lot of italian ISPs did that too in the early 2010s. Eventually someone figured out the algorithm to derive the WP2 passphrase from the SSID (and MAC address, I think) and wrote a handy tool. You were literally able to drive around a neighborhood and connect to any WiFi network you wanted.
Might want to re-write the headline to be less sensational: "Millions of Low-Income Americans Might Lose Affordable Internet Access Today". It's not going to impact everyone. It will impact those who may least afford it - as more government/social services are going "digital first", those who need to access those services will have more trouble without easy Internet access.
Imho Presume 8 bit, encapsulting 7bit usacsii. That includes utf8 and many many other encodings.

Don't interpret user supplied strings at all. Defines max lengths as byte lengths.

Remain agnostic of encoding. Especially in libraries.

It's easier than people think it is thanks to some very clever people's work a long time ago.
I can't do anything on my own comment. I don't know why it got flagged tho. Don't people read hacker news? Wasn't there an article yesterday or so about CSS discussions around "masonry" layout options to be added to grid or flex or whatnot? If you're ignorant move on I guess.
Thank you! Your feedback is much appreciated :)

Right, which is where he loses me--this is not why we have a Gateway.

> Balancing that out with a few very small relay satellites, I would pay for a couple Electron launches for the relay, and have a lifeboat capability 24/7

Building a communications relay constellation isn't a simple task. It's on the roadmap for Artemis.

> what I don't understand is how a higher orbit simulates a Mars trip much better

The high orbit is irrelevant to this aim. You'd get the same deep-space habitation science from a low, circularised orbit. The high orbit is for creating a one-and-done communication relay.
They might be right for some people, I admit. Just looking on Amazon though, right now in my area, the average price is $150-$200 for an N100, sometimes higher [the best-selling N100 on Amazon is $200]. For the money (see my $120 one), you can get much better performance, greater expansion, a metal case, and even though the power draw is higher... unless you are in, say, Germany, the cost savings of the computer will pay off any savings from the greater efficiency. For what it's worth, it's also a Dell and not a Chinese brand.

People are replying to you explaining why your reasons don't support your arguments, and explaining what the real reasons for using it differently are.

There's no opportunity for discourse, but it's apparently because your idea of "reason" is also different from everybody else's.
From what I've read, since door handles generally are placed in the path of turbulent air that has beed disturbed by the mirrors, it doesn't really make much of a difference.
What do you all think all this comes from? To me personally it always baffles me with wonder. I think of the analogy of a mouse living in a cage. Do they actually even realize they are inside a cage? Inside a world constructed by some other being?

What baffles me is that the explanation of reality is too complex for our brains to grasp. Same as to how the mouse will never be able to understand they live in a cage (or even the concept of a cage?) no matter the knowledge we throw at them.

Such an incredible concept.
By dead batteries do you mean batteries that just need to be recharged, or damaged batteries that can’t be recharged?

The former seems like part of the service, you deal with dead batteries by charging them up and then putting them in the next truck.

The latter is… trickier.

If you inspect their comment history, they are recommending several products in almost every reply. ContractsCounsel is one of the services they recommend. The formula they use for recommending is very similar for every post.

Also interesting, one of their only actual posts mentions the phenomenon of using bots to advertise, I guess trying to throw people off their trail?
You really should watch some of his videos if you think this. Marques has been doing this for years at this point, he's a reviewer, not an influencer. The clickbait titles is purely a YouTube thing, that is only indicative of the video being on YT, unfortunately.
It should be one of the things that Disney owns outright today (from having bought some but not all of Fox/News Corp), so Disney+ is the natural home, but that version of Cosmos was a very expensive show so between the "Disney Vault" and Disney again remembering they can get revenue from lending shows to other services it does seem to be off Disney+ for the moment.

JustWatch says it is streaming on ad-supported Free service Tubi in the US right now: https://www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/cosmos-a-spacetime-odys...

(JustWatch is a too useful service at this point in the Streaming Wars to figure out where shows and movies currently are. I am getting to point of buying more Blu-Rays again, though, because there are too many services and many of the ad-supported ones like Tubi and Pluto are sometimes really obnoxious, and some of the paid services I have strong reasons I don't want to pay for them. I certainly have friends that have gone back to piracy, and it does sound more tempting as the Streaming Wars get worse.)
