I never said the grid was 100% coal. But it sure is like 80% fossil fuels in the US, one of the greenest countries: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/

Now keep in mind, we need lots more electricity to power even a modest shift to EVs. Will your efficiency stats for EVs account for the energy used in building EVs to replace prematurely discarded gasoline vehicles, and building massive infrastructure everywhere to support EVs? Of course not. The officials pushing these impractical vehicles don't want you to think about all that.

I disagree. DLP resin printers use what can be described essentially as a UV beamer. The DLP IC is called DMD - digital micromirror device. It is what it says, and contains lots of micromirror that can direct the light.
The resulting image projected onto the FEP film on the resin vat is quite sharp. They also require little power without affecting the exposure time.

Normal resin printers use a UV LED array with lenses to produce a more or less uniform light field. A display is then stuck underneath the vat to block light at certain spots.
Since there is some distance between the display and the resin inside the vat, the resulting image has a slight blur on the edges; I think isn't an issue and is countered by using high resolution displays.

However, they consume a lot more power and require active cooling.

The display on a LCD resin printer has a limited lifetime, while the DLP is rated for 20000h. Being able to focus the image on the resin also allows for using arbitrarily thick (and thus stable) glas plates, while on a LCD the distance between LCD and resin needs to be minimzed.

Mind we're talking about a device that costs 4500US$ (before taxes).

Or am I missing some good reason to use a LCD display over a DMD in that device class?

It happened but I don't remember which movie. It's not the often-quoted Star Trek instance - In that case, the woman was a first-time extra who was not aware that extras are not supposed to speak, even when directed to "act natural". In the case I am thinking of, they forgot to rope off a park entrance or something like that, and someone who regularly went there just did their usual thing and blundered into an active shoot.
No division instructions, because they are many times slower than other arithmetic instructions. In many instruction sets the shifts are not even shifts, because the multiply returns a double-width result in two registers and the shift is just a way of telling the compiler to use the register containing the top half of the result.
Hmm, I wonder jq would be faster using this.
Originally that was the case, but the current situation is better summarized as "it's complicated". Or in the words of the federal court of justice "Whether and to what extent the production of such images is illegal and impermissible or must be accepted by the person concerned can only be determined by taking into account all the circumstances of the individual case and by carrying out a balancing of interests and interests that takes into account all the legal, and in particular constitutionally protected, positions of the parties involved."

Though as a private person you are generally right if you assume that in "normal" situations (so not filming a public bathroom or trying to take upskirt pictures or something like that) you are allowed to take pictures you don't want to publish, as long as you are willing to delete the pictures if the subject specifically asks for it.

Depends on the country/legal system, but most would consider at least pubs a public place. Gyms possibly as well, sometimes even more so than workplaces (because it's much harder to become an employee somewhere than it is to sign up for a gym.)
There are at least two different issues here, and it is a shame that they often seem conflated:

1. Filming without consent in public.

2. Uploading the media without consent of the subjects to social media or other public platform, or private channels with multiple participants.

I have no problem with the former - as others have pointed out, there is a long history of doing this in the name of art, documentation etc. Asking for consent just isn't often feasible in advance.

The latter though seems to me to be deeply unethical in principle, though there may be exceptions. It is the exposure to the view of others (often with intent to ridicule or shame) that seems to be the invasion of privacy and the aspect with significant potential to hurt.

> /tmp/ is the ram-backed version for small files

Small you say? The block size in that device is the size of the memory page: 4K by default. That's 8 times the very typical 512b for persistent storage.

I've been bitten many times when trying to start in-memory only VMs with a disk image that measured smaller than available memory only to run out of memory on boot :)

Let's say it's not really for small files. It's for few files. ;)
I've been using a Raspberry Pi to serve as a kubernetes master, with a few Intel NUCs to run as the workers, and I've loved it. The whole setup is small and cheap to run; I installed everything into a switch depth rack in my basement. I'm now trying to figure out how to add some GPU to the cluster, and I'm undecided whether to build a switch depth 3U server or go another route. Most people I've talked to with homelabs are running a full depth rack, so they can easily accommodate full size equipment, but I have size constraints so I can't fit something that large.

Productivity is not just work over time--its how much value you produce per unit of time. Mothers produce all value. Without them, nothing would have any value at all.
You can use LLMs as compressors, and I wonder how it would go with that.

The approach is simple: Turn the file into a stream of tokens. For each token, ask a language model to generate the full set of predictions based on context, and sort based on likelihood. Look where the actual token appears in the sorted list. Low entropy symbols will be near the start of the list, and high entropy tokens near the end.

I suspect most language models would deal with your alphabet example just fine, while still correctly spotting passwords and API keys. It would be a fun experiment to try!

> scale of the problem.

Saying we don’t have the infrastructure is meaningless when building infrastructure is part of my argument. The only question is if we have the technology, and yes we do.

For scale, 350 gigawatts of PV was installed in 2023 that’s enough to meet ~3% of the words 25,000 TWh annual electricity demand (after accounting for capacity factor) and the rate of PV installed per year has been accelerating. Battery manufacturing capacity is already at weeks of global electricity demand per year. Utilities haven’t been building grid scale energy storage because they don’t need it, but it’s ready when they want it.

Over the next 20+ years a great deal of current infrastructure will need to be replaced simply because of age. What replaces it could be very green without significant issue.
> Best option would be Putin getting close to a window.

It isn’t guaranteed his successor would be less of a warmonger.

Most likely, his successor would make a judgment call somewhere between the extremes of blaming the west for all of Russia’s problems and continuing the war, possibly more fervently, and of blaming Putin for all of Russia’s problems and getting out of Ukraine, with the judgment call not being on what’s best for the world, but on what’s best for his successor.
Thanks for the reply. It is an interesting question, because the truth is that I don't know. At one point, very long ago, (VLG) I knew nothing about computers at all but would by "Byte" magazine (I told you VLG) and read it. It was complete gibberish. Then after some time (six months?) I could suddenly understand.

I actually did learn quite a bit from your article. The use of tech terms like HDKF & AEAD was helpful rather than a hindrance. For example the phrase "stapling HKDF onto your protocol" is surprisingly helpful. I looked up HKDF, and the use of "stapling" gives me a concept of how it is used. So good.

Going back over it, I believe the real problem is that your previous post, "Lucid Multi-Key Deputies Require Commitment" is required to reading (or knowledge) for this post. Once I read that much of this was easier. You hid that reference is in the "why should you believe me" and yet to my reading the this article builds on that one. You define the terms and provide a context that is missing.

So concrete suggestions (easy to come up with after the fact!):

- ask yourself if this is a continuation of a thought, topic, etc and give refs if so.
- in addition to "why you should believe" maybe add a section "for i²" readers :-)

Cool things are ones where you never see the world the same. Just to reiterate, I don't see the world of cryptography the same after reading your article, despite the quibbles, so thanks.

My seemingly controversial take on this:

No one cares that you appear in a video on tiktok. No one. Content saturation is so intense than anyone who witnesses your generic human self for 6 seconds in a video short is going to have completely forgotten about it in the next 6 seconds.

Yes, for you the main character, it might feel like an egregious transgression. A victim of the ruthless paparazzi. But you are not that important, and are indistinguishable from the tens of thousands of other public wanderers who crop up in these videos.

Besides, they are supposed to have you sign a release form anyway.
Calculate the probability then. With 64 bits 2^32 tries have a possibility of ~0.39347 collisions. Which is unlikely, not likely.
You need at least 10x more to get a good probability of %97.
Which needs ~40m with 8 cores on my CPU. Which is not a practical flyby attack anymore. With a big GPU it would though.

https://kevingal.com/apps/collision.html

I do calculate 32bit collisions for all hash functions regularly. But not for 64bit functions, because they are not practical. Google is the only prominent one who cares for 128bit, but then they should at least get their numbers right. Because most of their arguments are pure security theater.
Enter paradis – A new chapter in Rust's parallelism story
I have a magic tmp dir I set up using a one-line find command that runs every minute from cron, that deletes anything in that dir with an atime older than some small value like 30 seconds or 2 minutes. That sounds expensive but since it's always running, the find work is always small, and this is all in ram tmpfs usually too, because ideally you want atime enabled in this dir, and ideally you do not want atime enabled most anywhere else.

It is used by all the application software for "fire & forget", so the app code can just generate the file and not have to hang around (and also, hang) while waiting to delete the file some unpredicatble time later. The file may or may not ever be used in some cases, and if used, it's used in some other process that the writing process doesn't know how long it will take unless you rig up some way to signal.

Every user of the special directory knows this special property of it, as this is it's entire purpose in the first place. It's not /tmp so no surprises. It eventually got used for all kinds of other things too because it's just so handy.

It works best with atime, which means mounting the filesystem with atime enabled, which I don't like to do in most cases, so ideally you make this it's own tmpfs in ram, and then the atime doesn't hurt much.

But it also works well enough with just ctime & mtime and a slightly longer TTL.

Even if a file is large and the user is on a slow link and the file is still downloading when the TTL expires, and the filesystem does not have atime, and so the reaper does actually delete the file while still in use, it's still ok most of the time even then, because the actual process that has the open handle still has it and can continue downloading the file until they close it, even while it has disappeared from view for the rest of the system.

But with atime, it's like magic, the file just naturally lives exactly as long as anyone is interested in it, and gets reaped 2 minutes after that, with no application process needing to keep track of it. The reaping happens regardless of crashed processes or reboots, graceful or ungraceful, etc.

It's something I did almost the first week over 20 years ago at a company I worked at from '99 to about '22, and got used for practically all temp files, and the normal tmp became the special case you only used in special cases. (actually the application software really never used the global /tmp, there were various other customer-specific and app-specific dirs)

Basically it was like an OS feature (for us) in that every system (of ours) always had this magic tmp dir.

This worked fine on old sco systems without even gnu find with it's handy -delete, let alone cgroups or even a ram fs. In fact it started there.

Ahh right. Physics is up against the computational complexity brick wall in understanding, but vast swathes of chemistry, especially ambient condition chemistry, is moderately-cheap-benchtop-experiment driven => lots of low hanging fruit I believe, but probably tough for grand theory builders who still need tenure(though limited "unifications" still occur.. click chemistry? Quantum dots? Etc) very useful, very applicable, but not as grand as what Feynman did. A lot of Bell Labs era breakthroughs (transistor, crystal growth, laser, basic litho etc) are on the order of sophistication as some cutting edge wetchem today.
