I've just got back into building a homelab after a multiyear break. I think I last worked on such a project in 2017. In the time between then and now, I still don't know why I would want to utilize IPv6 on my home network. And my network is necessarily more complicated than most users by extension of the homelab (switches, hypervisors, VM's, etc).

I imagine I might be able to go looking for an answer to why I'd want this, but I would have expected the case to have been made casually by now if it had any utility in my home. I never stopped reading technology and computing sites during my sabbatical, though they did become more mainstream. Yet I still have no clue why I'd want this on a home network. This seems like a solution in need of a problem (in the home – I'm not discounting the utility on a global scale).
Also, people shouldn't be allowed to use computers unless they understand how transistors work. If you don't have the depth of knowledge you get nothing.

A place I worked would lock your account if (reasons). I remember it happened to me - nonstandard mail client would try to use my old password a bunch of times and my account would lock.

most people would call in and get it unlocked immediately.

I came find out a little-known fact. The account lockout was automated and it would unlock after a certain amount of time. (of course using the wrong password again could lock it again)

That would make sense, however (correct me if I'm wrong) they do seem to be referring quite specifically to the capsule itself.
You can look into "Sovereign Identity", which could offer a solution to this very problem, in theory. It's a decentralised digital identity framework using cryptography.

The idea is to take identity upside down: you issue your own identity (think key pair), and an authority certifies it (aka. signature). That's why it's called sovereign.

Adding zero knowledge proofs adds support for more privacy preserving tech: prove your address is in a specific country, without giving your address, or prove your age without giving your birthdate.

Although it could all be implemented today, governments don't... because they love centralisation for the power it gives them. European institutions are working on Sovereign Identity projects, but it's mostly 100% centralised bullshit from what I know.

As with all things cryptographic, if you don't own the keys, you own nothing.
And they just release iOS 16.7.8 last month, that was the 4th update this year for iOS 16, that goes back until the iPhone 8 from 2017.

They also released iOS 15.8.2 this last march, this one goes back to the iPhone 6 from 2015, a device that is 9 year old and still getting security updates.

So while they are only making a commitment for 5 years, in practice they are doing, and have usually done, for much longer then that.
> “ Question: Write a detailed radiology note based on the chest X-ray.
Gold Answer: AP upright and lateral views of the chest were provided. Left chest wall pacer pack is again seen with leads extending into the right heart. ”

The bit about a “wall pacer pack is again seen…” leads me to believe this was based on another doctors note about a similar looking X-ray which was probably paired with other information like another scan at the time. That would be problematic imo.

> The difference between centralisation and decentralisation. States can fight back against the federal government's requests in a way that is simply not feasible for almost any person.

I don't understand this idea. Usually there is more variance in the behavior of lower-level governments, while higher-level governments will be closer to the mean. If there is a real risk that the federal government will abuse its power in a certain way, many state governments must already be abusing their powers that way. And the same also holds between state governments and local governments.

The smaller the administrated population, the more likely the government is either really great or really bad. But because the government can more easily do harm than good, lower-level governments are worse on the average.

It can be argued that while the average state/local government is worse than the federal government, your government is special. But that is only plausible if there are persistent cultural differences between your area and the rest of the country. And I don't mean differences in political opinion but in things like corruption and respect to the rule of law. That could happen if there is little immigration from other areas to your area, or if immigrants must live there for a long time and prove that they fit in before they gain full rights.

Which is why the sanest level of government is usually the one corresponding to citizenship.
Yeah, you can do anything with AI so you can train it to reproduce a specific image if you want to. Normally this would be considered overfitting in a foundation model, so there's some protection in that they don't want to be doing it. But with fine-tuning it can happen intentionally.

But people can also copy you by hand if they want to.
At least they won’t open up to mass immigration to replace the native population - something being looked at as a solution in the West.

Result distribution (like averaging to zero) only happens at scale. Even if you use a different seed every time you might not see the proper distribution when looking across different generator instances.
Ok, could you replace Umberto Eco’s use of the word “problematic”?

It seems like just the right word to use here, and in many places. I think some people just dislike the word “problematic” on an emotional level, and conjure up some justification for that emotional reaction.
Does anybody have any numbers? The one with the biggest numbers should get the biggest bonus from US because they are the most democratic.

I think Pitfal holds up much better than pong especially in how single player games evolved. There’s some nuance that’s easy to miss, such as the player’s score getting penalized for actions that don’t kill them. The manual provides both the number of treasures and the max possible score, so it’s got a meaningful end goal. https://atariage.com/manual_page.php?SystemID=2600&ItemTypeI...

There’s basically 3 levels in how players should approach the game. Basic mechanics which aren’t that difficult, but time pressure and trying to remember a rough and there’s a meaningful challenge. Exploration/ Routing, options are limited but exist so you need to discover and remember the games layout. The correct route crossing over your starting position also means you can explore significantly further than an optimal run. And finally actually putting together a run without hitting 20 minutes or 3 deaths to find all 32 treasures.

Put it together and you’ve got a basic but perfectly playable game someone could sink a lot of time into even 40 years after release.

Ask HN: How to make `screen` behave like a native shell?
I've been using `GNU screen` as my primary terminal multiplexer for about 15 years. It allows me to run different sessions in the background and resume them. Although I'm aware of other tools like `tmux`, my muscle memory has kept me loyal to `screen`.

One thing that always frustrates me is that a screen environment doesn't feel like a normal shell session. For example, when I log in via SSH into Bash, I can scroll back almost infinitely, all shortcuts (like CTRL + arrow keys) are available, and there are no visual or audible bells.

Does anyone know a way to configure `screen` or `tmux` to behave exactly like a native shell session? Or is there another alternative that I'm not aware of?
The world seems full of APIs that make it easy to avoid global state. Most of my usage of randomness has been through things like rust's rand::thread_rng or Java's ThreadLocalRandom. (In fact I think even java.util.Random uses its own state: the docs call out perf issues but only if you share the same instance across threads.)

Honorable (?) mention goes to (client-side) JavaScript - it's harder to have threading issues if you only have a single thread to work with!
Correct, you must use different, uncorrelated seeds for each thread if you want this to work. You can seed them all from one CSPRNG, for example, or from the Linux entropy service.

Genuinely this appears to introduce unnecessary friction. After all, if you can trust the government, you don't need this feature. If you cannot trust the government, then it is safe to assume that they aren't just sitting on their hands pouting that there's no national ID they can use to tie together an identity with.

I think it's dangerously naive to assume a nation with as capable a surveillance state as the US to be physically unable to tie together everything about you just because there's no national ID.
Sounds like it’s time to go Full Monad then.
The trick to this is to downvote or flag the offtopic comments and if you want to comment, write an on-topic comment. Writing meta about other comments just adds to the offtopic commentary and ends up working against the thing you're trying to improve.
> blow your mind.

Weaponized education, as it were
The core part of it: the US has much more vocal extremes in all directions, and they want to carve out niches where they can apply their own rules.

That's where you see states that ban abortion and force religious views into education for instance, to take one extreme, and they sure don't want a ruling entity to tell them they can't do so. Same applies to any subject, including identifying people (I'm pretty sure there's a sizeable number of people who don't want any official ID at all, even limited to their town, under no circumstance)

Basically, where some countries/federations will strive for unity and common values, the US keeps an idea of letting extremes run around in their own pockets of land and sometimes sit in the country's driver seat.
It's not a false memory. Lots of old sci-fi in that time had vertically-landing rockets. Even old Looney Toones episodes IIRC, as well as Twilight Zone, and much more.

It's nothing special; it's a logical consequence of the question "how would you land a rocket" when you assume the rocket is single-stage and can just travel from world to world, and you're a fiction writer who doesn't understand (or purposely neglects) the rocket equation. I mean, how else would you land a rocket, so it can be blasted off again? (Again, remember this is sci-fi that's very light on the "sci" part, where they're thinking in the future that humans will have self-contained rocket ships that can just travel from world to world without worrying about supporting infrastructure, the rocket equation, having enough fuel, needing to do any maintenance, etc.)
Stallman is always right if you're willing to wait long enough.
Both together are even better... seamless persistence of your session across sleeps/connection lapses from mosh, and from tmux for everything else like switching client machines, a dead battery, a client's OS/terminal crashing, etc.
I suspect you might still have to keep training your ears though.

I mean instead of sitting in silence, use your ears to hear conversations, to locate things in space, to discern things.

A friend had ear problems, and he delayed getting a hearing aid for years. He said he lost the ability to discern conversations because he put things off too long.
The issue here is ATmega328 pricing vs AVR DD pricing. Which is the crux of the discussion.

The pricing estimates discussed earlier have to be factored against the well known, widespread counterfeits. Especially because ATMega328 is a well known counterfeited chip, and the Chinese market well known for being full of not only counterfeits in general, but even counterfeits of this specific chip under discussion.

You cannot compare chip prices like the poster did earlier. And all this Chinese vs whatever discussion you're trying to distract me with aside doesn't change the core fact.
You put a lot of work into explaining this! Thank you, haha. Sincerely entertaining, or educating.

I wasn't "fooled", and this is vaguely insulting.

My unwillingness to burn dinosaur juice is reason enough for me to believe that hybrids are not "better" than BEVs, but BEVs are also (a lot) more efficient per watt, they require less maintenance, the running costs are lower, the performance is better, and in the long run, they're more future proof.

In fact it's hard to think of any reason why a hybrid would better except for "there are gas stations everywhere", but this reason is temporary at best, and ignores the fact that I can "fill" my EV at home, so I always leave the house with a full "tank". It's very rare that I have to visit a public charger.

And hey, even when I do, my hands don't stink of gasoline anymore.

Calculating the cost per kilogram for LEO with Starship gives me a new startup idea: small business (or even personal) interplanetary postal service.

It only costs $150 per kg in the near future to send objects into space with Starship; so I could, for example, send a Raspberry Pi (47 grams) into LEO for ~7 dollars (as long as I also had 149 tons of other objects from other people to send). A more useful use case would sending fully automated manufacturing facilities (probably either for semiconductors (https://www.nasa.gov/general/the-benefits-of-semiconductor-m...) or crystals (https://uofuhealth.utah.edu/newsroom/news/2017/07/proteinxl))

Seems they need to compare against "dumb" code completion. It seems that even when they are error-free, "large" AI-code-completions are just boilerplate that should be abstracted away in some functions rather than inserted into your code base.

On a related note, maybe they should measure number of code characters that can be REMOVED by AI rather than inserted!
You can just go around excusing creepy behavior as "being neurodivergent?"

As far as I know, the only person who has diagnosed Richard Stallman with anything is Richard Stallman, and I doubt he has even an honorary doctorate that would qualify him to make such a diagnosis. Maybe he is neurodivergent, maybe he isn't. If he were, that wouldn't excuse his behavior, as plenty of neurodivergent people don't act the way he does. It's not a "get out of social consequences free" card.

And honestly, if Richard Stallman is so neurodivergent that he isn't capable of interacting with people in a reasonable way, despite being middle aged and no doubt having been told about his behavior many, many times, he shouldn't be in the position he's in.

The US functionally has it. Your driver’s license goes into a national database, as do your license plates and social security number. I can drive through Oklahoma (several states away) and their system will automatically read my plates at a toll road and a bill will arrive at my home.

Our licenses now need a federal registration for us to board a plane. I think states have dropped issuing the ones that don’t.

> A family of four uses about 400 gallons of water a day. The supercomputer facility will require one million gallons a day.

How about a better comparison: a standard olympic sized swimming pool holds about 660,000 gallons, so that's less than 2 Olympic swimming pools or three acre-feet of water per day. According to [1], an acre-foot of water is enough to supply two families in California for a year, so that's 4 x 365 = 1460 families worth of water per year (not including the water it takes to manufacture all the things they use and grow all the things they eat).

According to [2] it takes 600,000 gallons of water to grow 200 bushels of corn on 1 acre, so the XAI campus uses about 2 x 365 = 730 acres of corn worth of water per year. According to [3], farmers planted over 90 million acres of corn in 2019 so back of the napkin, the XAI campus uses 730/90,000,000 = 0.0008% as much water as just the US corn industry. Not all of agriculture, just corn.

Honestly doesn't sound like that much. If it's more than a datacenter and has offices, it might use less water than it takes to feed the people in the building.
