And at the same time the cable between Lithuania and Sweden, interrupted in the same area.

Actually I use the Germany - Finland connection over ssh every day. And as a matter of fact because of tunneling even back and forth. So after reading the news in the European morning I was suprised that interactive working was still very smooth.

This cable is the only one between Germany and Finland and has massive bandwidth. It's one reason why Hetzner can have a data center in Finland, although a majority of their customers are located elsewhere.
Yikes, quite the scathing article and example of a the politicization of science.

“Trust the science” has always bothered me for two reasons: 1) science is frequently not black and white and anyone who has done hard science research knows there are plenty of competing opinions among scientists and 2) while scientific facts are facts, we still need to decide on how to act on those facts and that decision making process is most certainly political and subjective in nature.

Could you front-end the software with a proxy which bounces code-collision requests and limit the damage to the specific route, and not the entire systems integrity?

This is hack-on-hack stuff, but I am wondering if there is a low cost fix for a design behaviour which can't alter without every airline, every other airline system worldwide, accommodating the changes to remove 3-letter code collision.

Gate the problem. Require routing for TLA collisions to be done by hand, or be fixed in post into two paths which avoid the collision. (intrude an intermediate waypoint)
It's quite amusing that they used the incorrect, lowercase abbreviation for "nautical mile" which means something else ("nanometer") in an article about a major issue caused by two things sharing the same abbreviation.
That applies to individual samples. The eye gets around this by saccading (rapid movements) to get multiple samples. Also, you interact with your environment rather than passively sampling it, so if you want to look closer at something you can just do that.

Images aren't truly bandlimited because they contain sharp edges; if they were bandlimited you'd be happy to see an image upscaled with a Gaussian kernel, but instead it's obviously super blurry.

When we see an edge in a smaller image we "know" it's actually infinitely sharp. Another way to say this is that a single image of two people is fundamentally two "things", but we treat it as one unified "thing" mathematically. If all images came with segmentation data then we could do something smarter.
20% is a very strong claim. Effectively someone is saying they got a whole day out of their working week back for free. I find that unbelievable: or at least, it prompts my inner Carl Sagan to ask for extraordinary evidence.

In the case of Dynamics, and indeed of other CRMs (which already have a long history of ML/AI tooling, like Clari, Gong, etc) no amount of AI can solve the fundamental problem that if humans dont keep their records in the CRM clean and accurate, (which, by the way, they hate doing and absolutely suck at) then the AI is presenting insights based on garbage.

The storage costs only kick in when they supply the grid.

So for 4 hours of storage you have 20 hours of the pure renewable cost supplying the grid and charging the storage and 4 hours with storage filling in the gaps.

That is also the marginal cost of nuclear power. What Hinkley Point C is expected to end up at after running for 35 years. So sometime 2065.

Before that Hinkley Point C is costing the consumers ~$180/MWh which are energy crisis costs.

> That's like saying that any long term infrastructure is only possible with bad math...

Not at all. The difference with nuclear power is that we have viable alternatives which do not need bad math financing the subsidies to get built.

Fair distinction.

International law can be selectively applied for different party according to different scenarios (relative to different geopolitical power). NATO triggering art5 (self defense) won't make it valid / feasible to trigger at parallel UN art51. RU using UN art51 to target UKR a soveign territory, is also going to be different than NATO / or NATO country using art51 to do whatever they want on non-soverign / international high seas. All of which is to say while international law doesn't matter much to the motivated, not everyone is powerful enough to normalized/destablize with impunity. NATO might, but not without RU security council (trumps UNGA) approval, of course NATO can supercede from UN Charter framework which IIRC that NATO explicitly states they operate within. But then we have NATO going independant of UN, which goes back barrels of worms.
I don't know that it's necessarily that, simply that SMS became very heavily used _and still is_ for basic functionality, essential services, billing, notifications etc. in Europe, Africa, Asia - unlike the US. Compare to e.g. the US requirement for universal lifeline (landline) phone service.
Apple forces you to use Safari because it's the least capable mobile browser, which pushes developers to develop iOS apps to use the device APIs that other browsers allow but Safari won't implement - this drives people to the 30% cash grab Apple gets from their app store, instead of using web applications that are possible on other browsers on other platforms. It's awful what Apple is doing with forcing Safari on iOS. To make it worse, there are plenty of Apple-only proprietary things about Safari that make buying their hardware a necessity to debug problems that only appear on Safari. Web developers hate Safari, it's now known as "the new IE" because it's so bad.

Hi. This was definitely not the intention.

I made sure to copy and past the MIT license in Zerox exactly as it was into the folder of the code that uses it. I also included it in the main license file as well. If there's anything I could do to make corrections please let me know so I'd change that ASAP.
I've made this comment before but technology could help here. If the call was tagged as landline, cell, or VoIP along with approximate location info it would help a lot.

A landline call tagged as "same town" or cell call tagged as "pinged tower near reported location" could be treated more seriously than a VoIP call from "Fly-by-night VoIP Gateway Plc".
And the article itself in the older thread is a far more interesting read than this OP.
Apple tends to release products that are initially less than perfect, but they improve over time. A good example of this is Apple Maps, which was quite terrible when it first launched but has significantly improved since then. I wouldn’t be surprised if they take a similar approach to their current AI offerings. They might also acquire new companies to enhance the overall experience. It's just a matter of time before things get better.
To be honest, even 18 years ago, long before this editor in chief, I found Scientific American rather ideological. Maybe it got more obvious over time, but I don’t see its recent tone categorically different.
> What exactly do things like WebUSB and Web Bluetooth contribute to Google’s ad business?

Google keeps proposing specifications like Web USB, Web Bluetooth, Web MIDI, Web Serial, etc., and both Mozilla and Apple keep shooting them down on privacy and security grounds. Meanwhile Google ignores the problems and builds them into Chrome anyway, and guess what happens? They start getting used to fingerprint and track people.

Who knows, maybe it’s just a coincidence that all of these technologies that advertisers can use to fingerprint and track people keep making their way into the browser owned by one of the world’s largest ad companies.
As risky as it may sound, they will triple the depth of concerns.

Similarly, no pilot in the Devil’s Lake region is using DVL to mean Deauville, and vice versa. :)
I use Copilot on a daily basis and I think it's a fantastic product. It isn't particularly exciting, but I don't think it's supposed to be exciting - it just takes a lot of the tedium out of routine business tasks. It writes boring reports and boring memos to a perfectly acceptable standard. It saves me from having to skim-read through a long document to find one salient fact. It does for office workers what a belt sander or a table saw does for carpenters.

It's integrated incredibly well into the rest of the 365 suite and Microsoft provide really good onboarding and training resources. It Just Works, even for non-technical users who don't have the first idea about LLMs.

Zvi Mowshowitz spends a lot of time talking about the mundane utility of AI and I think Copilot is currently the best example. It isn't something that promises to change the world, it's something that makes life marginally easier for a big cohort of people. Saving the average office worker an hour or so a week isn't revolutionary, but it delivers a very respectable ROI.
I think a more subtle issue is that fixing old bugs can cause new bugs. It's easier to fix something new, for instance because you understand it better. At some point it can be safest to just not touch something old.

Also, old bugs can get fixed by accident / the environment changing / the whole subsystem getting replaced, and if most of your long tail of bugs is already fixed then it wastes people's time triaging it.

> Maybe they'll take a leaf out of Russia or Israel's book

As you yourself just pointed out a few lines line above this, there's no need to take a leaf out of anybody else's book: all the US' and NATO wars of the past decades have been presented as "special operations": e.g. the war against Serbia, the war against Iraq, the war against Afghanistan, etc.
As someone who has only written serious applications in single-threaded, or manually threaded C/C++, and concurrent applications in go using goroutines, channels, and all that fun stuff, I always find the discussion around async/await fascinating. Especially since it seems to be so ubiquitous in modern programming, outside of my sphere.

But one thing is: I don't get it. Why can't I await in a normal function? await sounds blocking. If async functions return promises, why can't I launch multiple async functions, then await on each of them, in a non-async function that does not return a promise?

I get there are answers to my questions. I get await means "yeald if not ready" and if the function is not async "yeald" is meaningless. But I find it a very strange way of thinking nonetheless.
As a former game developer, I can completely empathize. Some teams want to push the medium forward. Look at Doom, Mario 64. Half Life 2 is one of those titles.

The problem is that the Episode 2 ending did tease the story going somewhere. It's not like the game was a mindless shooter consisting only of groundbreaking mechanics. It spent three games building these characters. People were invested in the story, and they were let down.

However. People remember Half Life 2 for its physics. For the way it pushed graphics. For how it did environment based storytelling. For its AI entities you could control. For the amazing architecture. Very little of what made HL2 is the story.

I think they made the right decision not to ship something they couldn't be proud of. That takes a lot of bravery, in my opinion. I wish they had been more open about it. In the recent years, I was impressed with how Nintendo came out publicly and said they were somewhat stuck and unhappy with Metroid Prime 4's development, apologized, and decided to start over. Metroid fans know about waiting for great games. It'll be worth it.
I find it’s now fairly common to call any article one doesn’t agree with or enjoy “ai generated” without any proof.

The literal last place I can see publishing AI generated slop is el reg.
When “coincidences” like this percolate up to the general public, I think it is in fact noteworthy.
Coming up with proper representation for your state is almost always worth it. If anything it's the opposite of premature optimisation - normalise first, only denormalise after you've proven that it's needed.

With ancestry and similar sites you can probably learn your origin down to the street address of your great great great grandparents.
Don’t “good faith” me with a reference that you claim supports your assertion but in actuality does not. You made an assertion and can defend it or abandon it.

If evidence for your claim was as plentiful as you claim, you would just add another link. You didn’t.
Is that easy to imagine? I’m not sure it is, particularly.

Ultimately, the LLM industry can’t run on jam tomorrow forever. At some point, people have to stop concentrating on the hypothetical magic future, and concentrate on what actually exists.
Oh good, it's just a celebration and not an announcement that they're killing it.
This has been a common source of pain for me as well, and like a handful of other similar things, my brain refuses to remember so I'm always retracing my steps on this sort of thing.

Looking for participants for a study about debugging practices
Do you often use debugging tools while programming? Would you like to help us improve them? We are researchers from the computer science department at Université de Montréal and looking for participants for a study about debugging practices. Participants will be required to:

- Find and fix bugs in 3 different programs using different debugging tools.
- Consent to having their screen and audio interactions recorded.
- Complete a brief survey and participate in an interview.

The study will last a maximum of 90 minutes and take place online. Participants will receive $20 CAD by Interac transfer or Paypal. If you are interested, please sign up here:

https://ls.sondages.umontreal.ca/536189?lang=en
(working link in comments)

Participants must be at least 18 years old, and:

- Able to converse in and read in English or French for the study
- Have at least 2 years of programming experience in Python
- Use debugger features regularly (breakpoints, stepping, watch values, etc)
- Never used CodeBoot (web programming environment for beginners)

The students conducting the study are Léonard Oest O’Leary and Jingyue Zhang. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Léonard at leonard.oest.oleary@umontreal.ca. This research is conducted by the Computer Languages and Parallel Programming Lab and supervised by Marc Feeley, [Projet no 2024-6219].
"The web has decided that Chrome is the only browser worth supporting…"

That only tells me that governments can no longer leave technical aspects of the internet (standards/APIs, etc.) to market forces. There are many historical precedents for such action such as flight/aircraft, RF spectrum management, road and maritime regulations, health/food standards, etc. There's a myriad of them.

Regulations would enforce interoperability and uniformity. To say this would stifle innovation is nonsense, it would be like saying that road rules and maritime law have stifled the development of motor vehicles and shipbuilding.
The likely reason why they don't support Firefox is because it has less than 5% marketshare. It isn't a Chrome only site. You said that they support Chrome, IE, Edge (if they support IE then I'd assume that they might also support pre-Chromium Edge), and Safari.

That is just the nature of using a niche platform. I primarily use Linux on the desktop. I have to keep a Windows install around for the times that I need to do something that can't be done on Linux. Resources are limited and so high marketshare platforms are prioritized. That's just how it is.
"Trust the science" is the very antithesis of the scientific spirit. The essence of science is to distrust authority and received wisdom. If you treat scientists as some sort of infallible priesthood then you've missed the whole point of science.
How would you use WebUSB or Web Bluetooth for device fingerprinting?

HID, mass storage devices etc. are required to be filtered by implementations, and why would I grant a random news or social media site access to my MiniDisc player, Arduino board, Bluetooth thermometer/hygrometer etc. when it asks for it?

The prompts are pretty scary/disruptive, and I've never seen any website actually try (unlike for e.g. web push notifications, which are fairly private but can be super annoying).
I am don't use Hetzner, but I use ssh between Finland and Germany every day. As a matter of fact even back and forth because of tunneling. After reading the news this morning (Hetzner incident is date 3:30 UTC) I was surpised that I had not noted any lag. It remained very reponsive all day.

Since it was literally email threads he was working from the "junk data" thing wasn't a huge problem.
