> Would my router get a /64, then delegate a /68 to the next “router” (ie. The physical thing I currently call a switch)

This is another weird thing about networking. As far as I've been able to learn, a "router" is a device with two ports that handles transmission of data between those ports, whereas a "switch" is a device with more than two ports that handles transmission of data between those ports.

But nobody would ever care about that distinction.

The EU price is settled in a single daily mixed-integer quadratic solver run, so the prices directly affect each other when the solver runs. The goal is to reach a singular price across the system, theoretically, but like you say that becomes impossible due to transmission congestion.

Either way: These low prices will be driving down prices across the continent, the algorithm will maximize export from these low-cost areas as much as it possibly can; that way the entire continent benefits from the windy weather over the baltic.

The algorithm is documented here: https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/globalassets/download-center/s...

Psychology. A flight passenger's life is in the hands of others for a span of hours at a time. The victims of a hypothetical attack are hopelessly trapped, whereas one can at least imagine theoretically fleeing the scene in most other cases. These things make the threat seem far more salient.

Also, humans are generally bad at understanding small probabilities.

This is something I struggled with personally for a long time. I had a list of projects I wanted to complete ranging from SaaS products to video games.

I tried working on multiple projects but my mind always focused on one at the detriment of the others (before ultimately working on something else).

After some time and deep introspecting, I realized working on multiple projects was some complex form of procrastination (avoiding doing hard or boring things on other projects). I also realized working on other projects may have been some sorta coping mechanism to avoid possible failure (if I never finish projects I can never fail).

After the introspection I hit a turning point with two words, "what if".

Instead of bouncing around, trying and learning new things, what if I focused all of my attention on one stack/product/project/industry/thing?

I haven't solved what "done" means yet, but I have come to terms with the shortness of life and my own capabilities. I know who I am and what I can do. It's a start.
Not to mention that “latitude” and “longitude” cannot uniquely describe an address, regardless of the datum or ellipsoid. Maybe that is not the intent of storing the coordinates. Lat/Lon says nothing about floor number in a multi-story apartment.

Yes, but that's what's relevant, right? If I create a service, I don't really care if OpenAI makes a killing or is subsidizing my cost with venture capital, what matters to me is how much I pay to OpenAI, and how much revenue my service generates.
Probably a Bitcoin Miner or an Aluminium Smelter depending on which you consider more useful on how much capital you have.
That sounds excellent. Count is the one I'm mostly after (x total attempts, y successes, z people have done this, etc). Right now it's at worst just inefficient and my scale is very low so that's just not a problem right now. Knowing there's both an escape hatch and that these things are on the plan means I don't feel like I'm setting myself up for issues later.

Btw I guess you created a new repo for the public release, so https://github.com/instantdb/instant/blob/main/server/src/in... is the link for others.

Great to see the open source release, congrats! : )
Average Joe and businesses alike will assume that a tool telling them their site is secure means that they don't have to worry much about it. A tool that can easily be made to report "100% secure" is then quite harmful.

Even large corporations rely largely on buying reports, and in turn buying products to fix the results of those reports as their primary security strategy.
The thing too is that we know better, but we still use those toxic substances because the people who are profiting off it aren't the ones suffering ill effects.

I didn’t know that Physics was about understanding reality (sure, from a romantic perspective yeah). I always thought it was about making our lives better (like any other branch of science).

I believe we will never find out what’s the real nature of reality. That doesn’t mean we should stop doing science, though: it makes human live better.

I believe that the “meaning of life” is not about the answer (science telling us what’s the actual meaning) but about the discovery process we embrace: knowing beforehand that we’ll never understand everything and nevertheless keep waking up every day to do the job.
It's been a popular topic for the last couple of weeks on /r/claudeAI/.

I work via the API (console.anthropic.com/workbench) which is still showing a static model number and has less safety filtering applied to it than interacting with the front end. Performance seems mostly acceptable still for me.

Its obvious they have had trouble meeting compute demand, so it wouldnt suprise me if they have quantized the model or something to help them out on capacity issues for "Pro" users interacting via the front end.

How is it remarkable? Random people didn't get to add stuff to Python in 2001. It was a niche thing and someone who was contributing to it was likely to be a smart and dedicated person who would naturally have an impactful career ahead of them.

It's a misconception that the informal playful hobby hacking things are their separate world from real professional development.
I get your point, but I still can't believe the average Joe would think like this. Also, large corps get SOC2, yet they are still not secure.

Also, auditors use tools like this or have their tools to get reports telling them they are 100% secure.

No one should ever assume 100% security, even when the odds suggest otherwise. Maybe you are right.

Yeah like the popular answers are eg

- Hydrogen electrolyzers

- Some deferrable industrial processes (or processes that can switch between fuels?)

- Batteries ofc

- EVs

- etc etc

Generally it seems like you have this tradeoff between saving $$ by running intermittently when energy is cheap, but not losing $$ from capital assets sitting idle. EVs are really in the sweet spot for short flexibility - their useful output doesn't change much whether they charge at 8PM or 1AM.

Systems like smelters and electrolyzers are not at all as clear - they have enormous capital costs and their operators are likely not gonna enjoy letting them sit idle.

It's interesting to imagine what kinds of systems could take advantage of this grid we now have where prices will be near-and-below-zero for long swaths of time during summer.. ideally also things that don't tax the transmission system, eg. could be placed close to production facilities..

DRAKON and Prograph are both visual languages, but otherwise quite different. DRAKON is a flowchart language, showing flow of control, so the order of execution of instructions is specified by the programmer, just like it is in imperative languages. Prograph is a dataflow language, in which instructions can execute as soon as they have all the data they need, so multiple instructions can execute simultaneously (or, on a single processor, in an arbitrary order).

If you like Prograph, you might be interested in a similar language I've been developing: https://www.fmjlang.co.uk/fmj/tutorials/TOC.html

This is FUD. Portable Linux distribution has been figured out as early as Loki and it's not all that different from Windows distribution: ship your dependenciens with your application (which is not even close to half a distro if actually care to think about what your dependencies are) instead of just assuming that whatever is on your dev machine will also be on other systems. It's really not that hard.

Is it? I thought the screenshots were stored and analyzed locally. This seems like something that can be verified with Wireshark.

If you mean they could sneaikily update Windows in the future to start sending screenshots to their server - I feel they could do that regardless of whether or not this local search tool exists, and it'd still get caught almost immediately. If anything, it'd seem counter-intuitive to draw lots of attention/scrutiny through marketing this feature.
Not that interesting of a take, especially coming for a political scientist (which the author is).

"When all you've got is a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail."

Feels like it's straight out of that "everything is political" phase we are hopefully leaving behind, usually meaning - "I will try to problematise it to make it political".
Relatedly, on most browsers, you cannot choose the search engine you use. They give you a small list.

This is an issue for e.g. Kagi or other non-standard search engine.

With safari, edge, and chrome, you can use a janky extension to redirect it - at least on desktop.

Edge tends to be the most hostile here - when updated, it automatically switches your search engine to bing search and disables the extension. It is nice enough to tell you that they switched your search engine but no button to switch it back.

These practices are obviously monopolistic - using their dominance in one area to limit consumer choice in another. And it is significant because these tools are how we know about the world and communicate.

A cambrian explosion of unshitified apps that put the consumer first is due if we can ever get some blanket effective legislation against gatekeeping.

This could have huge secondary effects. A less manipulated population is probably a more civil, more effective one. It's something to be hopeful of. If only we could only get it right.
That is of course awful in every way, but I really wonder, isn't the real problem that there are bad people? I think we can agree that people who are heartless enough to bully a vulnerable person like that, they will not stop just because a new euphemism is promoted. So how does it actually help? I can understand that if you are being called a slur, you want that slur to go away, but if it's going to be replaced by another slur, what is actually achieved?
Innovation is about attention, not ideas. If you want to encourage that, you need to give folks a forum to share their ideas that they feel safe and supported. If your team is good at that in person at lunch, then having an “ideas” meeting with the folks who would be at lunch would work for that. If your team is bad at that, there’s likely some folks who don’t embrace the new ideas at your ideas forum and until you get them fixed, the folks with ideas aren’t going to bring them up for fear of looking dumb or whatever.

I’ve worked remotely and had a great time innovating, and I’ve been in person and had a terrible time innovating. It has always come back to giving folks a comfortable forum to share ideas and not rejecting them.
This is correct technically, but not correct in practice. Yes, keyloggers and stuff are comprehensive. But this ignores accessibility and ease of use aspect. Keylogger is a software which you need to know about, then acquire it without being infected yourself (e.g. know trusted warez sites etc.), and have to install on the victim PC in advance (so no retroactive spying is possible). I wouldn't know where to get keylogger (stealthy one) without some research, despite working in IT for decades. And likely you would rist get sued for that if ti was ever exposed, so a large part of the population not yet sociopathic will balk at installing illegal keylogger.

Now contrast that with a 100% legal and already preinstalled keylogger 2.0, which is not only logging keypresses but everything. And it is on every home and work PC in the world. Of course the number of people tempted to use it to spy on the strangers will be about a 1000 times bigger than amount of people installing keyloggers today. And it will not only replace premediated planned spying, similar to the keylogger. But it will also allow spontaneous spying on every random PC you can see. Like walking past unattended unlocked PC and voila - you can check all history without going back in time to install keylogger in advance.

The scale of the problem is the real problem. That's the point.
Exactly, it is the illusion of transparency. Have someone read something you've written out loud, you'd be surprised how often they use a different tone than you had in mind. Add to that a variety of cultures and backgrounds.
This is a total non sequiter.

The more semiconductors you make, the more waste chemicals you produce (and use), and the more contamination and cancer you’re going to have if those chemicals aren’t handled correctly. Aka more solar panels, more waste chemicals.

Same with nukes and nuclear waste by running your nuclear plant longer/harder.

90/10 one way will produce a lot of one thing, and less of another - and vice versa.

What version are we on again? Oh this is a known bug... oh wait we fixed it yesterday... actually it was delayed so you'll get it tomorrow.

I've seen multiple releases in a day and no 1 knows what's going on. Even the developers have to keep pulling in changes and try it in a dev environment to confirm if the feature is even how it is.
