IIUC, that's always a good theory for unexplained DDoS. Though, even if they have only profit motivations, I'm a little surprised when they don't seem to let ideology influence their selection of targets for demos.

For the sake of argument (maybe not true), let's say that all techies are aware of archive.org, and consider it beneficial, probably using it themselves.

Why don't they instead demo against a target that will be proof of capability, and one that someone won't pay them to do (no freebies), yet one that they perceive as bad or deserving in some way?

Probably improper to suggest "better" targets here, but I really wonder what's going on when some relative do-gooder gets attacked.

Similarly, ransomware attack on a children's hospital, of all places? Doesn't that get you uninvited to criminal mastermind dinner parties?

Is there any kind of grid-scale seasonal storage technology on the horizon? Batteries seem right out from the gate unless the cost drops to 1/10 of current. The only practical one I see is synthesizing a fuel (methane, hydrogen, whatever) which can be stored ~forever.

This is very light on the details of their batteries, unfortunately.

Iron-air batteries have been known for awhile now, the challenge is making them commercially viable. If I recall, their efficiency is awful for one. There's a company called Form Energy in West Virginia that is supposedly nearly done with a factory to build them for grid storage.

Despite modern advancements in ML, rules engines are still preferred in some scenarios as their execution tends to be deterministic.

They have different heuristics for conflict resolution when more than one rule can be fired. Once you define the strategy, it will be consistent throughout the entire lifecycle.

Once the network is compiled, it ensures that previously matched patterns are not recomputed, which increases performance.

Funny how the picture of the building is exactly like this one on LoopNet, the commercial realty site.[1] Except that the battery article clipped off the logo on top of the building, which isn't that of Ore Energy.

Your first two questions I'd answer with, "Yes, trauma."

First, I don’t know why you feel the need to include a hostile ad hom barb like “You seem to think evolutionary theory came to an end in 1882”.

I’ve done multiple Google searches and even done Google Books searches in the very book you linked, for the exact phrase “promoter gene”, and it really doesn’t seem to be a term that’s used, at all, really.

DNA promoters are well recognized, but not in the context you’re talking about.

I can very much understand the notion that genes may act to further their own propagation at the cost of the host’s fitness - sure.

It’s just that we first need to see evidence that it’s happening, by having a clear definition of what favours vs costs the host’s fitness.

The hypothesis you’ve cited (and from the book reviews it seems even the authors concede their hypotheses are highly speculative), seems to start with the assumption that these mental illness traits are opposed to the host’s fitness and confer no benefits whatsoever.

But all we have to do is point out the many cases in which these traits actually do benefit the host, which I did and you even conceded in the last line of your comment, and the hypothesis is void.

It reminds me of the “junk DNA” hypothesis, where researchers couldn’t find an obvious use for large sections of the genome so just assumed it to be useless and called it “junk”, only to be later found to have very important roles:

The current processes are not that inefficient, it’s currently commercially inefficient because the margins are small, but if there were issues in obtaining alternative fuels the margins would increase to make micro scale ammonia generation economically viable. There are supposedly already catalysts that exist to make small scale ammonia production competitive even at current margins and there is some interest in using this for solar power energy storage. For me this technology is still in the category of I’ll believe it when I see it. Most people who need ammonia today need a whole lot of it so small scale production wouldn’t make sense even if it was just as efficient. The other issues with ammonia are that it’s rather toxic and pretty easy to make into explosives. Eventually I’m planning on having an excess supply renewable energy so dumping that into ammonia production is a no brainer.
Anecdote: when my dad was a child, one of the main coffee machines in the entire village required the slow work of a donkey attached to crankshaft to grind the beans.

One day, someone decided to mechanize this process, and attached it to a motor. The whole village gathered to watch the stunt, and my dad says the machine literally exploded from the speed.

No one was injured but parts of the machine could be found far away from the centre for a long time.

This is true, but at this scale, aren’t we looking at a moderate portion of the visible universe? This is hundreds of thousands or millions of galaxies appearing with some strong correlation, I believe. There are only a few trillion galaxies in the observable universe, so it’s not like we have 10^20 chances to observe random chance correlations like this.

I’m just talking without actually having done a close reading or done the statistics for myself, so I could be quite wrong.
In general, the benefit of a UI would be that you can draw things you can't draw when constrained to a grid of characters, and you can have interactivity you couldn't otherwise have. It would be more like VS Code or Zed but with the Helix editing model underneath.

100%. The problem with an issue like this is that there are people who work in the field and know how complex it is and know all the terms and know no matter what terms you try to boil it down to there will be confusion because you simply cannot properly represent so much stuff in two words, let alone one. Then there are people who sort of work around the edges of such systems but don't really see how complex it is and hence come up with superficially sensible sounding things that will just cause confusion in some other way.
> So your IPv6 address would be 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8. The header would have 5.6.7.8 as the IPv4 destination. When it got there, that router would unpack the rest of it and send it off to 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8. If that host had to talk to an IPv4 host, it would just use the IPv4 headers.

This gels so much with my experience, thank you for sharing. The lack of down-regulation is exhausting at times.

Your work on gratitude mirrors my experience as besides that and some psychedelic experiences to help process from a less traumatic dissociative state were some of the big keys for me helping to process the grief and anxiety coming from those experiences. I wish you the best! Breaking a trauma cycle is beyond difficult and tiring.
At the very least, limiting such regulations to international-only limits their blast radius.

With China specifically it could work, because they internally control their points of peering with the rest of the world. With Russia, less so. With a "normal" Western country, likely infeasible, but in the latter case the internet access is not controlled and weaponized by the government, so there is no real need, self-regulation suffices.
Even if cost drops, we'd need an absurdly huge amount of batteries for seasonal storage. But let's see what the future brings.

I work at Supernetworks where we're building secure by default Wi-Fi routers. Our software had the ability to assign MACs to interfaces for a little while now, and as a response to this study we've now also added MAC randomization, now in the dev branch, and generally available in our next release (https://github.com/spr-networks/super). Many cards which support WDS//AP-VLAN have no trouble with updating the BSSID.

For use as a travel router the UI makes it simple to randomize both the AP BSSID/MAC as well as interfaces working as WiFi client stations for internet uplink.
Why would you type the wrong letter when you mean the other one? Authentication means proving what something says it is, authorization is allowing someone to do something.

I wish he spent a bit more time on the section regarding magnitude of the effect for different accelerations.

Because the IPv4 host can't talk to new protocol hosts. IPv4 hosts can only do 32-bit addresses and don't know about the wrapping. If they did, they would be new protocol hosts.

I had idea of putting the internal address for NAT in options so could be addresses directly. But too many boxes would need to be changed, and lots of unchanged boxes remove options. Plus, all the IPv4 applications wouldn't know what to do with stack of addresses. It would devolve to NAT.

The 600-6GHz range is a rough approximation for some of the most used bands in telecommunications, e.g. Wi-Fi and 5G NR FR1. It's worth noting that the article explicitly mentions that this filter will be useful for FR3, which is "7 GHz to 24 GHz". They do not claim full 600 MHz-6 GHz operation, and as the previous poster noted, the filter was demonstrated from 3.4-11.1 GHz.

More critically: you want to be very very careful about trying to extrapolate this filter down to lower frequencies. We're dealing with "weird physics" here. I am not an expert on spin-wave devices by any means, but a guy in my lab during grad school was working with them, so I do know that the resonant frequencies of the spin-waves are a function of the magnetic bias and the material. The researchers here are tuning the filter by tuning the magnetic bias. Someone more knowledgeable can correct me, but I believe YIG would have trouble propagating spin-waves down at 600 MHz, and so this kind of filter would not be practical.

DDOS attacks are dirt cheap and can be contracted from large professional sites offering customer support and the works. The largest one taken down had hundreds of thousands of users, and had carried out some 4 million attacks, for prices starting at $14.99/month. [1]

So in other words, anybody can carry out a DDOS for basically no cost. So trying to analyze the purpose, let alone suspects, is probably not going to be fruitful.

People living their whole life in apartments do not create nearly as much nuisance as people who moved into apartments from detached houses, where they grew up. They don't wear hard-soled shoes inside, they don't drop stuff on the floor, they don't blast music and don't even own 1500W subwoofers, or weight racks, or treadmills.

For some reason people believe that a little baby is the most noise possible and it's often used in such discussions as an evidence of complete sound-proofing of their dwellings. While people do instinctively get agitated from a child's screams the power of these screams is very low. This is why parents get baby monitors as the screams don't propagate well even between floors in a single-family house. Even adults, unless trained, can't scream nearly as loud as a 200W Bluetooth speaker. Get your neighbor upstairs to drop an empty barbell bar and see how you won't notice it. And in the US your neighbor can be dropping a 300 pounds barbell while having a party with people dancing with accompaniment of 2.5kW sound system, at 2:30 am.

This could be true. But the anecdotes and claims in the article are weak evidence.

> Following Layle’s visit to the psychiatrist, her mother observed, “You’ve been acting more and more autistic since we got the diagnosis.”

Reduced masking after diagnosis is common. Or her mother could have noticed and related behaviors she didn't before.

> In 2006, a student at a Mexican boarding school developed devastating leg pain and had trouble walking; soon hundreds of classmates were afflicted. A fifteenth-century German nun started biting her companions; eventually, the strange hysteria infected convents from Holland to Italy.

This is argument from analogy. Mass hysteria spreads without labels. And it is rare.

> Ian Hacking, the philosopher, argued that such a dynamic fuelled the epidemic of multiple personality disorder in the late twentieth century, and something similar seems to be playing out now with the growing portrayal of dissociative identity disorder, the current name for M.P.D., on social media.

This is begging the question. People more qualified than a philosopher have argued many perspectives about DID diagnosis.

> One of Kriss’s patients, a student who went by Haku, developed a multiplicity of selves after being introduced to the concept of dissociative identity disorder. “It’s not that I thought he was faking it,” Kriss recalls. “It seemed more that Haku wanted to have multiple personalities, even if that meant he had to force himself and others to believe in it.”

But does it occur frequently?
