Getting rid of IPv4 address allocation is one of the huge advantages of IPv6. IPv4 is chopped up into little pieces and the routing table is mess from it. Starting from scratch, IPv6 can make that better.

IPv6 also realized that most people don't need their own address space. It is valuable in IPv4 to own an allocation, but IPv6 is so huge it doesn't matter.

For setup, IPv6 does it automatically for customers. Peering requires entering IPv6 addresses, but that is a one time thing.
Why use Linux for that though? Why not build the machine like a 3D printer, with a dedicated microcontroller that doesn't even run an OS and has completely predicable timing, and a separate non-RT Linux system for the GUI?

As have the Israeli citizens who have been subject to indiscriminate rocket attacks over the last 11 months from Hezbollah. Personally,If had the choice between enduring rockets versus not taking a pager on a flight, I’d prefer the pager ban.
If that were the case, I think China would have the incentive to remove this from their own supply chains, they don't want to be excluded from world trade because of this stuff. But as others have noted, China was not the link in this specific instance, rather a European country was
More than that, it's basically a mini-state within a state... and at this point more functional than the government of Lebanon. The attack was by all accounts pretty well targeted, but that still means there are probably a bunch of dead or maimed civil servants of the sort that a traditional military offensive would never care about.
Devices were procured through Hungary, they were made in Taiwan
Ah got it — thank you!
Lol, guess you can't really escape. One benefit of Kagi is you can block websites from appearing. Maybe website blocking lists will appear similar to ad blocking lists. Maybe Kagi already lets you do this.
It does make me wonder if there delay in the UK/EU is related to this; the delay happened within the same time frame of these devices being delivered.
With great power and all that...
I think people just really like Postgres, and like building tooling for it. Postgres is particularly easy to work with, thanks to its extensive documentation and its code being open-source.
If the walkie talkie remains a passiv listener, then no, but then it is also only half as useful. And a unmodified pager is a passive listener by default and cannot be tracked, which is why they were bought in the first place from Hezbollah.
You should look at Nix's experimental dynamic derivations, which provide functionality entirely at the level of derivation language / store layer.
Tracking radios like that is very hard when the signal is far away and in urban environments.

The first rule of airport security is to close barn doors that horses have bolted through previously.
If they actually cared about public safety, they would pursue legislation to require analog controls & eliminate touchscreens in vehicles.
Like most airport security, it is sensible to bring people a feeling of security, not being secure.

LunarG released a native ARM version of the Vulkan SDK shortly after the Snapdragon X machines launched so presumably it works on those.

Its hard but its not impossible. Functionally you need some very accurate equipment and some knowledge of the receiver. This is one of those areas where the military and government likely have approaches that are secret.

For things like VxWorks, it's mostly vibes and setting priority between processes. But there are other ways. You can "offline schedule" your tasks, i.e. you run a scheduler at compile time which decides all possible supported orderings and how long slots each task can run.

Then, there's the whole thing of hardware. Do you have one or more cores? If you have more than one core, can they introduce jitter or slowdown to each other accessing memory? And so on and so forth.
True, but it's not necessarily not correlated either. So the answer to the question

is still "not much".
You don't break the electrical equipment/motor/armature/process it's hooked up to.

In rt land, you test in prod and hope for the best.
There is no single "the government".

Instead "The Government" is like a huge community. They are all supposed to adhere to the same code, but like any community there are those members that look for a way to bypass the law, without quite going over it.

That's what said purchases are. And even parts of the community in the same branch of a government department, may do what other parts are not even really aware of. Or agree with.

I didn’t mean to evade your questions, but my opinion is as follows:

Yes I want YouTube to be free, but not if that requires intrusive surveillance.

People who pay for YouTube aren’t opted out of surveillance as far as I can tell. So I reject the premise of your question, that people are choosing free because they don’t value privacy. They haven’t been given the choice in most cases.

On a tangential note, you previously asked if ads should be more expensive. It’s possible that ads should be less expensive, since they may be less effective than ad spend would suggest: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/does-advertising-actually-w...
I am unconvinced that requiring AM radio in new cars is just “fan service” or outdated.

Emergency scenarios often require a PSA (public service announcement), and it’s easy enough to envision a scenario where communications degrade in succession, such that you can get a PSA on how to use AM transmissions in case other communications go down. So if other networks are degraded, then at least people have AM to fall back on.

This house bill may sound like a bad idea to anyone who doesn’t work in disaster preparedness, or doesn’t have a paranoid security mindset, but it totally makes sense for someone who red teams emergency comms.

> the cost of shelter accounts for 70% of all inflation for the last twelve months

Technically, this should read "70% of inflation in all items less food and energy". And since enrgy costs are actually down for the past year, this basically says that rent increases are the majority cause of inflation except maybe food, but that's not clear from the BLS data linked.
A traditional FM walkie-talkie, yes, passive, but a P25/DMR handheld radio, especially operating in trunked mode, not necessarily. One notorious example of this is P25's use of packet retransmission requests: https://www.mattblaze.org/papers/p25sec.pdf

A lot of worksite-oriented handheld radios these days are not just oldschool FM and use digital protocols to efficiently manage bandwidth, which can involve transmitting when not actually sending voice data. I haven't seen any confirmation of whether the affected devices were digital or not, but if they were buying COTS radio equipment there's a decent chance that they were.
Israel controls the water supply in Gaza. They aren't even allowed to collect rain water.

It rains something like 2 inches a year there. People collecting rain water someplace with so little rain are likely quite desperate.

I wish there wasn't so much conflict but sometimes the people resorting to violence have been essentially left with no other meaningful solution. People with power can politely ruin your life and murder you and yours and then claim you are the bad guy when you fight back less politely.
Providing robust restoring and backup systems for a system that allows to run any kind of workload is almost impossible. You'd have to provide database backups for all versions of all databases, correct file backup for the volumes etc.

It feels much more dangerous to have such a system instead in place and provide false sense of security. Users know best what kind of data they need to backup, where they want to back it up, if it needs to be encrypted or not, if it needs to be daily or weekly etc.

It's an ad dude. The upvotes are just a fugazi.
Although you have a valid point, I object to your calling it a community because communities don't have constitutions and cannot throw people in jail if they break the community's rules. Also, a community has much less control over who becomes a member of the community than a government has over who it employs.
Especially since the tech is already there, and everywhere. It's madness to lose a capability so easily kept.
Yeah, the route fragmentation a disadvantage of what I've had in mind. My focus is just on getting things to speak v6 to fix the scarcity problem first. Maybe at some point the owners could've swapped addresses back to defrag things.
It's a good test, but also a trap. Because the relevant follow-on question is "Is it possible to design a single solution that will please most of these people?"

Sometimes, the nature of the problem makes flexibility irreducible.
> What goes into ensuring that a program is actually realtime?

Realtime mostly means predictable runtime for code. As long as its predictable, you can scale the CPU/microcontroller to fit your demands or optimize your code to fit the constraints. It’s about making sure your code can always respond in time to hardware inputs, timers, and other interrupts.

Generally the Linux kernel’s scheduling makes the system very unpredictable. RT linux tries to address that along with several other subsystems. On embedded CPUs this usually means disabling advanced features like cache, branch prediction, and speculative execution (although I don’t remember if RT handles that part since its very vendor specific).

Seriously how hard it can be for GH to detect that a randomly just created account is creating issues, with the same text, containing a link inside?

I got dozens of such spam during a whole day.
I'm afraid that the only sensible answer might end up being no more right to repair, no more phones from smaller manufacturers and no more unauthorized parts.

Something like, if it goes through an airport, it has to have enough charge to turn on, and all the parts need to deliver a cryptographic signature (via an USB-C connection) that they're genuine and that they haven't been tampered with. Your phone is from a Chinese manufacturer? Good luck entering the US.

It's that or no electronic on flights, not even in checked-in luggage,, and that won't fly (no pun intended) in 2024.

That's assuming airport scanners are genuinely incapable of detecting this kind of sabotage, and I hope that this assumption is wrong.
Or the threat has subsided. Not saying get rid of security, but I think it’s okay to allow water bottles again.
I am sure they did. Non IR kinds basically are RF (radio frequency) kinds.
Thanks, this is interesting to read!

If what you're saying is true, it's a bit sad that all these large-capex industries that are so important for society to have expertise and progress in are not considered promising or competitive.
Students are absolutely copy pasting questions into ChatGPT. Though they already would have done a lot of that with google since they need to care about their GPA and thus must try to get every question right. I knew some people paying for chegg just before ChatGPT came out.

> attack was by all accounts pretty well targeted

Which accounts are you listening to? The accounts that I've heard is that they set every single one of these off all at once with no targeting and they blew up all over Lebanon in markets, theaters, schools, public transportation, etc.
> The goal of supporting non-deterministic builds also seems to go against this.

I think this is actually a great escape hatch. Supporting non-deterministic builds means more folks will be able to migrate their existing build to zb. Postel's law and all that.

Certainly for anything I actually do, I've not found anything that is better than something like TurboTax gives me.

What Is MAh and Why Is It Bad for Measuring Battery Capacity
The middle case is that we are paying 2.6% higher rent due to RealPage.

I don't think the aggressive piece is realistic. And if we break up RealPage I highly doubt we'll see an significant drop in rent prices.

An interesting analysis would be looking at vacancy rate across different cities over time. If we saw a large increase in cities with a high penetration of RealPage I'd be more inclined to believe it's having a significant impact.

For California and Text at least it looks like the price increase is classical supply and demand driven. We're not building enough multifamily or apartments. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/TXRVAC
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CARVAC
The problem I have with this analysis is that it's tying RealPage to the politicized perception of rent inflation --- i.e., when the news cycles about it began. But affordability has been a crisis for something approaching a decade now, far precedes RealPage, and impacts places RealPage doesn't operate.

There's a subtext in this article that you have to follow Stoller to know about, which is whether he's aligning himself with the NIMBY opposition to the YIMBY movement, so I expect him to take some flak for these arguments, whether or not RealPage is a proximate cause of higher rents (I have no reason to disbelieve him on that point; by all means burn it to the ground).
This isn't entirely true.
Cellphones are actively transmitting and checking in with the towers, so they're pretty easy to track.

Walkies transmit sporadically, so they can be tracked when activated. It's not instantaneous, but with a decent logging system you can keep track of users to a large degree. Even when you have multiple units all of the same model on the same frequency, there are various tricks to sorting them out to individual units.

One-way pagers don't transmit typical signals, buy like all RF devices, they're still emitting some signals and are trackable to a large degree with an antenna network deployed for that purpose. You might not be able to track them deep within enemy territory, but there is still a lot that can be done to track general movements or to find where clusters of the oscillators associated with the pagers turn up in large numbers.
In software terms, this would be as difficult as switching out specific bits from a running program to fix bugs.

Certainly not impossible, but impractical as far as we can see.
And more recently a huge ammo dump was turned into a giant mushroom cloud with (presumably) drones.
I know people who have stepped down from principal. I just got the bump to principal myself after (allegedly) performing at Principal level for years.

The fun satisfying stuff is the generally lower impact work. The boring and frustrating stuff is higher impact work. If you do not need the Principal money, and Senior money is good enough to retire on, I can understand how you might be tempted to stay at senior, or even take a pay cut.

TL;DR: nothing wrong at all with staying at Senior.
I used to support UBI but I’ve soured on it. What people need isn’t income it’s opportunity. Housing, food, and healthcare are the basics we want people to have regardless of their dollar cost. Education and maybe cash to start a business would be other forms of opportunity.
And the security services have done an amazing job of mostly ignoring the white supremacists, Sovereign Citizens, Christian fundamentalists and other white guys with a penchant for politically motivated violence.

I am sorry, I mean him or his family no harm. If I could still delete the comment I would.
IDK what's the story, My comment is non-displaying and it looks like yours is flagged.

In any case, none of this conversation is at the level of a dissertation, neither enough time or space.

The start was a seven-word comment with a tone I read that was entirely dismissive of even the concept that IBM could be practicing ageism.

It cannot be dismissed so easily (and I have family working there trying to evade exactly those ageist axes to get to retirement with full benefits).

The point of the smoke/fire is that a single good counter-example of disparate results likely not implying discrimination does not disprove all examples. The fact remains, such statistics remain a good starting point.

You have many words, but beyond the first general wave of the hands that statistics do not imply discrimination and one non-correlating example, I've missed where you provided any info or evidence to show IBM is not practicing ageism, in particular to effectively cut pensions.

Since IBM are clearly managing the workforce for profit, the multiplier of cutting older people is far larger; you save not only a few years of higher salaries, but also up to decades of zeroed or reduced pensions. Pretty strong financial incentive.

Didn't the Supreme Court basically say recently that the FCC and similar Executive Branch groups can't enforce such rules? They must come from the Legislature to have any hope of surviving review.
What a strange thing to say.
I'm not hugely experienced in the field personally, but from what I've seen, actually proving hard real time capabilities is rather involved.
If something is safety critical (think break systems, avionic computers, etc.) it likely means you also need some special certification or even formal verification. And (correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think you'll want to use a Linux kernel, even with the preempt rt patches.
I'd say specialized rt operating systems, like FreeRTOS or Zephyr, would be more fitting (though I don't have direct experience with them).

As for the hardware, you can't really use a ‘regular’ CPU and expect completely deterministic behavior. The things you mentioned (and for example caching) absolutely impact this.
iirc amd/xilinx actually offer a processor that has both regular arm cores, alongside some arm real time cores for these exact reasons.

We are for some reason, however, voluntarily doing it again.

I am a steadfast engineering internationalist so in practice a single standard is always going to be my bias
Just to add to this, having also implemented a production payment system, we did the same thing. One needs to be very explicit about the scale and how it should be rounded and dealt with, and how to operate on two different scale systems. Quite a fun challenge, though I do not miss the edge cases.

Our system was a payment system for childcare management software, interfacing with banks and the government directly.
