Definitely. I'm American and I've lived in the Netherlands for the past three years. The difference is night and day.

Whenever I visit, I switch to my US SIM card and am immediately bombarded with spam texts (mostly from political parties) and scam calls. In my experience, Android is pretty good at marking calls and texts as "potential scams," but they're still there. In the Netherlands, I've gotten a few scam attempts via WhatsApp. Other than that, I think I've received one phone call soliciting donations to the Red Cross, and nothing else.
Basically, if you want to do something properly, look at the official 'approved list' from NIST or the NSA or someone:

Yes, but it's subtle; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_current and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_velocity and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_mobility for more details

I was pretty surprised about this since I had mistakenly believed that electrons had a velocity near the speed of light, which I think is only true in particle accelerators.

You might as well just buy an electric vehicle with V2L or V2H functionality, and then add a generator outlet to your electric panel.

The added benefit is that well, it's a battery strapped to a car. So if you have an extended power outage, you simply drive your car to a charger elsewhere and come back with a full charge. I'm sure Minnesota wouldn't be stupid enough to outlaw EV charging.
It's reasonable as far as membrane laptop keyboards go imo. It feels solid (along with the rest of the build quality), and has a pretty good travel distance.
I agree with you, after working with Clojure for a while I started to really like the beauty of Lisp. But I also think the author can have their own preferences, and it is fine since it is their project, so they're free to do whatever they want.

I’ve followed the super cheap Chinese battery options for a while. It’s amazing how cheap they can be, but at the same time the number of early failure stories is alarmingly high. Getting a warranty exchange is hit or miss.

It feels a lot like gambling. You might get one that works for a thousand cycles without issues. You might get one that fails after a week. You might be able to get a warranty replacement, or you might spend hours every week trying to make progress on a warranty claim without any luck.

You’re right that there’s a lot of opportunity if you’re willing to buy used panels, Chinese batteries, and do all of your own work. However, the cost of equipment is falling while the costs of labor are rising, which is why professionally installed systems are still expensive.
I get that expressing the function in 6 lines is cool and all, but it'd be nice if it was readable.

The Go fuzzer, when it finds a failure, will also walk back and try to shrink inputs (and still trigger the same failure).

Not sure how effective it is compared to other options, but I'm not totally missing out there.

It also builds a corpus of interesting inputs over time (those that cause new branches to be taken, since that's its goal: improve coverage).

radiocarbon is mostly just guess and most of the headlines are just there for clicks. radiocarbon dating is shows a range like 2000 to 50000 years. headlines takes 50K. radiocarbon date is also acknowledged to be the age of the material, not the date of the manufacture of an item. if item is a rock, mostly they don't know when the art is manufactured.

probably they asked how old is the art and somebody said "it could bew oldest ever found" hence the headline.

Sure, if you don't need to meet any compliance standards and your threat model is pretty relaxed, this is likely okay.

But if your threat model is that relaxed, you can just encrypt the whole drive, toss the key, and then format the device. This would likely be quicker than doing 10x write passes.

As a note, write passes are really only good for HDDs due to wear-leveling algorithms in every SSD.

Right, but nobody's arguing that there are cases where you'd physically destroy a device, while cryptographic erasure of the data is not required as well.

I didn't explicitly say this in my original comment since it seemed implicit given the context.
> but are there actual businesses who will come to your home and do an install, or do you need to to become a mad-scientist electrician and DIY?

A lot of the costs of a real install come from the permitting, doing proper upgrades (you might need a new electrical panel), the warranty, the labor, and other costs.

Every time I browse the DIY solar forums it feels like I see 1 person doing things by code for every 10 people cutting corners or playing loose with the rules. YMMV, but take the DIY cost estimates with a huge grain of salt.
I’m a bit confused: why do they need visibility into individual household’s load to accomplish this? Can’t you just look at what the whole city is drawing and order based on that?

Or do you mean fully dynamic pricing/billing to end users?
Conflating the KPNLF with the Khmer Rouge, a group they were literally formed to fight - whose members suffered during Pol Pot's reign of terror, because they joined a coalition government in exile for expedience is just nonsense. The Red Khmer were Communists.

The KPNLF were essentially strong armed into a coalition government by the Thai - who threatened to cut them off from aid and boot them from the country - and to gain international recognition and aid. They waited until the last possible moment to join and remained hostile towards the Khmer Rouge.

It kind of just strikes me as too much money sloshing around too few actually good ideas. Sure, AI is a significant improvement on crypto, but that doesn’t stop “Synergy Guy” from trying to use the latest buzzword to separate fools from their money. Anyone who considers themselves an expert in VR, blockchain, and AI is immediately a red flag. Actual expertise takes time and hard work, not just smiling and nodding at the right time.

At the end of the day, everything can’t be a B2B SaaS company. The companies that “leverage AI” were already doing that before LLMs came out. As the I will piledrive you guy said, if AI is coming for your business, a 3 hour Monday morning pep talk that boils down to import openai will not save your business.
It reaches 12m on a telescoped crane, the actual scale of the robot body looks pretty small, smaller than the cab of the truck. Pretty human scale all things considered, makes one wonder if it's goign to be mounted on treads or legs one day for indoor use. It does look very cool indeed.
> No

I don't understand the force of this no when the question is "is this like...". That's a solid yes as far as I can tell since the two papers are about the same general area.

> first you model code using polyhedra

No one does this - if your code is already known to be a "polyhedron" (a set of inequalities) then you would optimize like everyone else does: using simplex. In polyhedral compilers the hard part is finding the implicit polyhedra in loop nests. Optimization is also hard (np- hard) but there's no way around that so it doesn't matter and so everyone just uses ISL.

I can't say the history was well-known even generally in the Liverpool department when I was a student, knowing Mike Houlden, and Arthur James, and John Holt less well.

>nobody's arguing that there are cases where you'd physically destroy a device, while cryptographic erasure of the data is not required as well.

I am very explicitly saying cryptographic erasure is not required if you are following physical destruction standards (in ISO 27001 and NIST 800-88, at least).
I don't have a paste, but a similar query gave me NXDOMAIN during the incident. I did get the A/AAAA glue records for nsX.he.net when asking gtld-servers[1] about my .net, though.

A few decades ago, I think root-servers.net did do root and also the three letter tlds, but that was a long time ago, before everything got split up into multiple roles.

> Gravitational wave researchers cast new light on…

Seems like they are a bit out of their lane, as light is an electromagnetic phenomenon, a completely different force from gravitation.

More seriously: the fact that the two scientists happen to have been doing data analysis on gravitational data isn’t really relevant to the work, rather it was pulled out to make us click on the article title.

Super interesting work though, and not what I would have expected!

True. Probably one of the biggest obstacles to adoption. Their price point pretty much overlaps with an entry-level laptop.-

Mark Mothersbaugh's "Ruby Kusturd"
[...] According to Mothersbaugh, he stumbled upon the colossal ruby when he was hanging out with a gemologist friend who “had this story about a gem mine where somebody was just in a hurry to get rid of a bunch of stuff, and he happened to be at the right place at the right time and he bought it for a ridiculously low price.” The two discussed how the types of people who usually buy these absurdly large gems have often acquired their money by rather sinister means—they are members of drug cartels, Russian oil executives, mobsters. Mothersbaugh decided that he’d like to carve the ruby. Specifically, he’d like to carve the ruby into the shape of a turd… “So whoever owns the world’s largest ruby, [has] to buy a turd to get it.” To disguise the turd as a scoop of ice cream, Mothersbaugh placed the ruby into a beautiful, highly polished bronze cone. Only the title alludes to the less-than-savory subject Mothersbaugh chose to depict (“kus-TURD”). [...]

Solar panels are mildly more efficient when colder, the same latitude in an area with similar cloud cover in north America is probably generally slightly better for solar than Europe because it is colder, not sure if it would ever be more than a rounding error though.

> what part is clickbait? They are gravitational wave researchers.

They are physicists who are in practice data scientists. They are both male, presumably have experienced no amputations, and look like they were born in the 20th century. Their “day job” is in gravitation. They both likely speak English.

The only part of which which has even the slightest bearing on their work is that they are of late de facto data scientists, among their (presumable) other skills.
Its very hard to beat Dell Wyse 3030 LT with USB attached disks.

- https://vermaden.wordpress.com/2023/04/10/silent-fanless-del...

I use that and the costs are about $20-25 for a used Dell Wyse 3030 and $60 for used 5TB 2.5 HDD from Seagate in USB 3.0 case.

Then the power bills will also be tiny as it draw about 3.8W when idle and 10.3 W with CPU and disks stressed to maximum.

The only limitation is 'only' 2GB RAM - but with ZFS ARC set to 32MB minimum and 64MB maximum RAM is not an issue.

vfs.zfs.arc.min=33554432

Ummm sure. Basically I didn't want to irrecoverably screw up my steam deck. So, I setup a partition on the SD card and pointed a /usr overlay at it.

mount -t overlay -o "lowerdir=/usr,upperdir=/run/media/OVERLAY/overlay/usr,workdir=/run/media/OVERLAY/workdir/usr" none /usr

Personal choice, I didn't set it to automount, since I really wanted to ensure boot process was same. I just mount it later.

Idea being that every once in a while I pop out the SD card, run the standard steam update, then wipe the overlay and reinstall the stuff I was using (I have a script to make that more convenient). If it seems I really did somehow mess up their setup beyond repair I can just remove the card, reboot (I did do that once, but I don't think it was my fault).

Main issue I've run into is the fact that Valve upstream repo is a hackish snapshot of Arch that is not maintained and was not entirely consistent at time of creation and is using old gpg keys. So, while 95% of stuff installs using it, there's 5% that requires installing while ignoring the signature and just trusting valve's server, or pulling in an older lib (I symlinked in one from valve's steam runtime once).

The other not-ideal thing about Valve is they really don't prioritise security patching, at all. It's astounding given the device does have an sshd running. Not to mention older problems like wifi vulnerabilities. Fortunately the recent ssh cve has a config workaround, or I'd probably just force-install an sshd from arch instead, or disable starting at boot.

... oh and pulling in new signatures for people does help sometimes. pacman -S archlinux-keyring , pacman-key / --populate / --refresh-keys /-r exact@name.org ... and since /etc persists during updates, sometimes you have to tell pacman to --overwrite since a prior install might still exist there. You could work around that by backing up /etc but, eh, it hasn't been a problem so far :D - there were no collisions on first install to /etc for any of them, so I assume everything was playing nice with existing valve /etc. And, well, valve did make that directory writeable ...

Because there's value in a brand name, they are using more expensive batteries (or they were, I think just recently they started shipping LFP), and you're paying for the plug-and-play convenience.

Buying cells from CATL, adding a BMS, and putting all in a case is easy but still not trivial. Definitely not plug and play. You can absolutely get dirt cheap LFPs (like other people, I hang out on diysolarforum.com too), but it is not a competitor with the Powerwall unless you want something to tinker with or are simply too budget constrained to buy the brand name product.

The big problem in photonic computing is actually making an optical transistor, i.e. a switch where the presence of photons coming from one source controls whether of photons coming from another source pass. This is harder than electrical transistors because photons are bosons and don't interact with each other, so even theoretically this is hard to imagine.

Papers that claim some progress pop up every once in a while but I haven't seen anything promising yet.
