I think Cloudflare should make the bare minimum effort to kick services which are explicitly offering illegal DDoS attacks, given that their current policy of not doing anything unless legally compelled to is demonstrably enabling the overwhelming majority of DDoS providers to stay online, which has terrible optics when they're in the business of mitigating those attacks.

Whatever slippery slope excuses they give, somehow AWS, Azure, GCP, Fastly, Akamai and so on have managed to solve the impossible problem of turning away DDoS providers without imposing Orwellian censorship in the process.

FC is not entirely lossless. One ticket I had the joy of dealing with involved a customer using a Fibre Channel network for their storage using multipathd for failover. In theory it was a fully redundant configuration with dual FC ports on the server with each one going to a different FC switch all the way back to the SAN. However, the system was generating I/O errors on large writes while small writes would succeed. Needless to say that ext4 failed horribly, and there were worries that it was a kernel bug in the FC driver.

After a good amount of back and forth with the customer, and several test programs run on the system in question, I eventually came up with a hypothesis that there was an error in the write path of the SAN as small writes succeeded while larger writes failed. The customer ultimately found there was a dirty fibre on one of the links in their FC fabric. It was dirty enough to corrupt large packets, but not so dirty that smaller writes and control packets were unable to get through. Since multipathd only checks to see if a given target can be read from, it would never fail over to the other path (which was fine). So much for trying to build a high availability system using an expensive SAN!

Lesson of the story: what you think is a lossless network is not always lossless. Using the IP stack has a lot of beneficial diagnostic tools that you really start missing when something goes awry in a non-IP network.
Wappalyzer opens a bunch of popups promoting their stuff. Also doesn't list historical data like BuiltWith does. BuiltWith is on another level compared to Wappalyzer.

Have you tried a "coffee nap"? I find that if I just drink caffeine to counteract building tiredness, it's not going to help. Like sponging up water from a broken faucet. But if I lay down and rest (this doesn't have to include sleep, I set an alarm and let my body do what it needs, but the primary factor is giving your brain the peace it needs to process and flush stress accumulated through the day, in pseudoscientific terms), and then drink coffee, I'm reset and it can take effect.

The "Coffee Nap" is where your drink a cup of coffee (quickly, I guess), then lay down for 10-20 minutes to rest, and by the time you get up the caffeine will begin to kick in. I find that process to be a bit more stress-inducing.
For anyone else whose only experience with Japanese convenience stores is the Yakuza games wondering which one Poppo is supposed to be:

Stop Making Kubernetes Auth Hard
This is one of those claims that people tend to repeat without giving any evidence. Seems like there's some sort of attempt using Needham's data.
I read about 2/3rds of atomic habits. There's some pretty good psychology stuff in there and basic behavior things, but I had a couple issues with the book.

1. The author made me feel bad about myself and acted like the book could solve all my problems. To me this is a big no no for a self help book.

2. The premise of surrounding yourself with people that have good habits, and you'll just adapt to be like them. I don't jive with the assumption that you will adapt to and become like everyone else in your environment. I've spent a lot of time in my life feeling out of place in the environment I'm in, and the book made me feel like I should just naturally adapt, become like the people around me, and feel like I belong. It just has not rang true for me in my life. I do adapt to my environment, but that hasn't always made me feel like I belong or feel happy and part of my environment. He uses the example of some kids raised and home schooled to play chess extremely well from a young age. The kids become chess masters and they're happy as adults. The author claims that they adapted to their environment of playing chess all the time. First of all I couldn't believe that the author didn't make a joke about how absurd a life of only playing chess from a young age is. But I'm pretty sure there are plenty of examples of overbearing parents where this type of thing did not work for the kids.
Let's keep physical engineering aside for a moment: If AI arrives at a level to replace software engineers then we can safely assume it can replace thousands of other knowledge jobs that are way less syntactically complex, from will writers to attorneys, doctors in general medicine, 100% of Excel/Word/PowerPoint white collars, business consultants, middle managers, senior managers, VC capitalists, investment bankers, etc., basically destroying the modern society.

The end result is browser extensions, like Recap the Law [1] for PACER, that streams data back from participating user browsers to a target for batch processing and eventual reconciliation.

Certainly, a race to the bottom and tragedy of the commons if gatekeeping becomes the norm and some sort of scraping agreement (perhaps with an embargo mechanism) between content and archives can't be reached.

Wow, a big tech thinking about creators not about how to extract all they can but to give back. That became so uncommon nowadays. Cloudflare deserves their exponential growth. Kudos for them.
This one couldn't have been stolen, because puzzles multiple of 5 (125, 130, 135...) have had their public key already published in 2019 (IIRC), so everyone—the solver and blockchain listeners—has equal advantage. Puzzle #130 uses a secp256k1 private key with 130 unknown bits. It takes 2^65 work to brute force. When the solver posts their transaction to withdraw the funds, the public key included in the blockchain was already known. It doesn't provide new information.

With puzzle #67 the public key in the transaction becomes known to all when the solver attempts to withdraw the funds, so some people rushed to compute (in 2^33.5) the private key and manage to find it in seconds/minutes.

Where Do Music Genres Come From?
From distant memory: they were effective for at least some PowerPC implementations. I don't recall how much, but it was considered worthwhile in hot code for at least some machines. However, IIRC, branch prediction wasn't as advanced at that point; a modern implementation might not see the same benefits.
My parents wrote their graduate theses this way too, in the 1950s, except that the spaces were for chemical formulas.

And strongly in a "do not use unless you must" category too.
It can also change the instruction selection. For example, __builtin_unpredictable which is a close cousin of expect will indicate there's no prediction possible on a branch. This causes the compiler to select branchless instructions & is particularly useful in things like binary search where the CPU attempting to do prediction is worse than using a branchless version of the code.
This was my first thought on seeing the title as well. My entire life I and every family member I can think of has used plastic grocery bags for our little bathroom trash cans. I don’t even know what the options are for “real” bags of that size, having never shopped for them. Time to learn, I guess.

That said, this could still reduce my plastic use. The old, thin bags were sufficient. The new, thick bags have been overkill since day one. Given that the frequency with which I take out the trash didn’t change when the thin bags were banned, I’m sure I use quite a bit more plastic than before the ban. Maybe bags sold for small trash cans are thinner, and I’ll go back to pre-ban levels of use.
What is PP to you? Just any application of bayesian techniques? You should reframe your question in terms of what kinds of problems bayesian techniques are SOTA for and then explore what companies operate in those spaces. No startup is "focusing on" PP, it's not a field where there is significant R&D overhang relative to industrial applications like deep learning has seen the last few years. Nobody is getting VC dollars to research new posterior sampling methods.

There are some areas where it's USEFUL to apply existing techniques, usually contexts where it's useful to have a confidence measurement attached to the prediction. Think big decisions based on small data (not always though). Investing, pharma, etc. STAN is SOTA in many ways but if you're interested in higher throughput inference Variational Inference is the preferred technique and that's best supported by something like PyMC.

Some context based on recent history (EU/Finland perspective):

- On average the market electricity contracts are cheaper than flat-rate contracts

- Day-to-day (and hour-to-hour) variation can be huge; yesterday evening it was 32 c/kWh, tomorrow it'll be about 2-3 c/kWh for most of the day.

- You know the day-ahead prices around noon (UTC), so you can plan ahead.

- EU has a wholesale electricity price cap; not sure what's the current value but it was 500 c/kWh a while ago. Plus taxes, probably.

> Hasn't it already greatly overrun the initial promises?
Hinkley Point C got the green light in 2016 with an estimated £18bn build cost

The most recent estimates put costs as high as £34bn at 2015 prices, £46bn in today’s money.

I believe the range is £31–35 billion in 2015 prices, so between 75% and 100% overrun.

> that's the whole reason France is crying for relief here from the UK.

The overrun combined with COVID combined with the spike in inflation and also CNG being frozen out of the UK nuclear market/cooling of relationship with China.

> claims that nuclear will show good experience effects this time, for sure, are to be treated with skepticism.

Agreed, which is why the second unit at HPC will be interesting.
> The value is in the consistency and predictability

"Consistency" and "predictability" are not the words I associate with self-service checkout. Maybe I'm spectacularly unlucky, but almost every time I use one of these machines with more than 3 products, the machine will get confused about the weight, or decide to randomly check me, or find another reason to lock up and have me wait for a clerk to show up and unlock it, which takes anything between 1 to 5 minutes. And I'm not the only unlucky person, either - I see it happening often enough to others, which usually reassures me that I made a good call standing in the queue for the old-fashion human-operated register.
I'm torn because as a user, the best license is a pure open source license. But I know that many companies that start out offering an open source product aren't going to be able to make that work. It's really frustrating when a product like Redis or Elasticsearch churns their license around. It would have been better for everyone if they had a clear "semi-open" license to pick in the first place, that gave them a business model while being "open enough" for my purposes.

What concerns me about these semi-open licenses is, am I held hostage if the developer raises prices on me? If once I commit to the software I have no alternative to paying them for their managed service, it doesn't really help me that I have some access to the source code.

A semi-open license like Llama uses is less troublesome. It isn't open source, but it's pretty clear that you just can't use it for certain activities. If I don't plan on using it for any of those activities, it's fine. I'm not committing to paying Facebook X dollars a month and if their companies struggles maybe they'll start charging me 2X or 3X or 10X dollars a month.
What's the Lebanon "terror contingent"? Hezbollah (not terrorists, but resistance) is fighting Israel as we speak, so surely you don't mean them?
I suspect that the motivating factor is lack of deployable human capital. In a large centralized society, there may always people to deploy at the problem. The more people you deploy at the problem, the more time the people at the top spend thinking about people issues and the bureaucracy that comes with that. The bottleneck usually happens when the people at the top become so focused on bureaucracy/politics/corruption that nothing really gets done.

Fragmented societies are less prone to bureaucracy, and more prone to not having enough people available to solve a problem. These factors absolutely help innovation.
Looks like non 4k page sizes are missing, which tripped out some software running on asahi Linux.
The concept of "verifiable code" is effectively dead - even C#'s own syntax is sometimes desugared into what one could consider "unsafe" code in terms of feature use. Unsafe code is safe when used correctly, it does not imply the reliance on undefined or implementation-defined behavior :)

For all intents and purposes, the non-unsafe subset of Rust is a safe language, and the distinction pretty much does not exist at the IL level.
Seconded. I read everyone’s comments here and found them all very informative.
> Q : What kinds of work could potentially be dropped to increase productivity? A: Meetings

This is really lazy and boring. Yes, many meetings are a waste of time, but I don't think you're productively cutting out an entire day of work out of the week by just cutting meetings. It's also very difficult for organizations to understand which meetings are "pointless" or could be re-arranged, or we wouldn't have the problem in the first place.

A past company I worked for tried a global initiative to reduce the amount of time, particularly engineers, spent in meetings. They mandated no more than 20% of your week could be spent in meetings. The effect was instead that things that needed to be meetings ended up happening in a myriad of side-chats and personal messages, making things way more time consuming in the end. Sometimes getting everyone together in a room or call to agree on a course of action is needed. If you want to cut time out of those, cut the political BS out of them aggressively and call people out for grandstanding or wasting time in meetings.

My old G771 definitely has them, though that one is like 8 years old or so now? The Gigabyte A5 looks like it might have one, but it's hard to tell without tearing the battery apart. I'm sure lots of gamer laptops still run on 18650s.

But yeah they mostly do lipos these days for thinness and weight reduction despite the obvious drawbacks. I wouldn't really ever buy a laptop with a lipo myself, shit's just gonna inflate and split it in half.

It's not just laptops anyway, EVs, power tools, flashlights, power banks, li-ion drop in replacement car/ups batteries. Anything that has a lipo has at some point had a cylindrical model too.

> Which would in turn reduce the number of doctors that go into training, which would in turn raise prices back to where insurance is necessary.

Well, yes, one way or another, the market would reach in equilibrium. Like in physics or chemistry, you can't always exactly predict how exactly the equilibrium would be reached, but you can calculate where it is nevertheless.

However, right now in US it is not in an equilibrium, because the supply of doctors is artificially limited. Therefore, the natural equilibrium between supply and demand lies to the side of more doctors and more affordable healthcare.
That seems a bit harsh.

with all that money they'd have some decent content.

What Netflix seems to have discovered is that for the price of one high quality prestige drama, you can instead buy in 20 low budget shows and documentaries from around the world and still have cash left over to make another 20 competition and reality TV show. Those 40 shows between them will then draw in more viewers than the one high budget prestige project.

All that being said Netflix also got more Emmy nominations and awards this year than any other streamer or network (mainly for Baby Reindeer, The Crown and Ripley), so someone seems to find somethings they do 'decent'.

Manufacturers of radios have to prevent the ability to behave in a non-compliant manner. One way of accomplishing that is preventing the user from updating software to non-official versions. Another is to prevent the small subset of functionality to be updated by non-official versions. This isn't a new requirement and has been around since forever.
