I’m actually really interested: I have a piece of stage lighting, that has a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi controller. I’d love to convert this to wired Wi-Fi. Can you share what is necessary to achieve this hack? Can I “just” run antenna cable between router and controller? Or what kind of radio physics needs to be understood?
Facebook and X blocking mostly happens in authoritarian nations, most places are more hands-off so far.

I'm happy you have found something that works for you but the diet tribalism on this site is getting old. At least it's good to see the initial Keto comment getting downvoted to oblivion.
Because LLMs are an environmental disaster.

It's not about any individual usage. It's the global technology that is yet to prove to be useful and that already have bad for the environment.

Any new usage should be free of impact on the environment.

(Note: The technology of LLM itself is not an environmental disaster, but how it is put in use currently isn't the way).
If you correlate the hacks of anonymous to that you will get an interesting picture to say the least :)

They didnt remove anything. Did the USB Controller DMA Master support DMA chaining or command lists?

Ethernet controller being a dma master means it can continually plop packets where it wants without CPU intervention. Infamously Realtek RTL8139 10/100M chip was the first Realtek with DMA mastering support, but it was brain dead implementation https://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/RealTek/3.0/if_rl.c:

>"The RealTek 8139 PCI NIC redefines the meaning of 'low end.' This is
probably the worst PCI ethernet controller ever made, with the possible
exception of the FEAST chip made by SMC. The 8139 supports bus-master
DMA, but it has a terrible interface that nullifies any performance
gains that bus-master DMA usually offers.

For transmission, the chip offers a series of four TX descriptor
registers. Each transmit frame must be in a contiguous buffer, aligned
on a longword (32-bit) boundary. This means we almost always have to
do mbuf copies in order to transmit a frame, except in the unlikely
case where a) the packet fits into a single mbuf, and b) the packet
is 32-bit aligned within the mbuf's data area. The presence of only
four descriptor registers means that we can never have more than four
packets queued for transmission at any one time.

Reception is not much better. The driver has to allocate a single large
buffer area (up to 64K in size) into which the chip will DMA received
frames. Because we don't know where within this region received packets
will begin or end, we have no choice but to copy data from the buffer
area into mbufs in order to pass the packets up to the higher protocol
levels.

It's impossible given this rotten design to really achieve decent
performance at 100Mbps, unless you happen to have a 400Mhz PII or
some equally overmuscled CPU to drive it."

Afaik 10 years later 1Gbit RTL8111B required alignment on 256 byte boundaries so not much better.

There are lots of good ways to break down this multiplication problem:

8 × 12 = 8 × (10 + 2) = 8 × 10 + 8 × 2 = 80 + 16 = 96

8 × 12 = (10 − 2) × 12 = 10 × 12 − 2 × 12 = 120 − 24 = 96

8 × 12 = (10 − 2) × (10 + 2) = 10 × 10 − 2 × 2 = 100 − 4 = 96

8 × 12 = (5 + 3) × 12 = 5 × 12 + 3 × 12 = 60 + 36 = 96

8 × 12 = 4 × 24 = 2 × 48 = 96

8 × 12 = 2³ × (2² × 3) = 2⁵ × 3 = 32 × 3 = 96

etc.
I have been doing that for plaintext emails. Whenever I receive an HTML-only email (that my email reader cannot open), I send a kind email to the company, asking if they could consider adding a plaintext version next to it. I clearly explain that they can keep the HTML version as a default, and that some people need plaintext for accessibility and security reasons.

I often receive answers, that surprised me! People saying "thank you for your suggestion, we will think about what we can do". None of them has every changed anything (I've been doing that for years). I don't even know if they did anything more than answering to the email.
Similar to protections against usury, we need laws to prevent this sort of abusive revenue split.

There are plenty of notes written by peasants and servants, so it clearly wasn't just an elite thing. But IIRC the vast majority of those letters are from the city proper, and Novgorod Republic was a city-state governing a large territory outside of its walls, so we're talking mostly about the urban population.

Keep in mind also that this is an actual republic with all male citizens voting in a public assembly on important matters, so it would make sense for the culture to appreciate the trivium more universally.
> Seems like a pretty standard "free markets/Econ 101" argument to me.

Hm I think I see what you mean. It's a free market argument that includes that some regulation is in place which keeps A in business and keeps D out of business.

But wouldn't the free market corollary then be to remove that regulation so the market can be more free? That's hardly the suggestion coming from the left-leaning perspective, which instead proposes to add more regulation. So the end-to-end argument (including s corollary for what to do) doesn't actually sound free market to me.
I take your general point, but:

> Except that it doesn't work if you don't drive your car alone (if you assume the plane is full of passengers, why not assuming that the car is, as well?)

These can be measured for averages. Lots of cars with one person in them, seldom cars fully packed; lots of planes fully packed, seldom (but it does happen) that the plane is almost empty.

> we have largely missed the goal of keeping global warming to 1.5C (thinking that we could reach it is absurd at this point).

Probably, yes; last year passed the threshold — it would be a pleasant *surprise* if that turned out to have been a fluke 14* years early.

* 14 because it would take 14 years for the exponential — seen for the last 30 years — for PV to replace all forms of power consumption; not just electricity, everything. But even then we'd also need to make rapid simultaneous progress with non-energy CO2 sources like cattle and concrete.

> around the equator will become unlivable for human beings (similar to being on Mars: you need equipment just to survive outside)

In so far as your bracket, sure; but there's a huge gap in what equipment you would need.

The comparison I often make is that Mars combines the moisture of the Sahara, the warmth of the Antarctic, the air pressure of the peak of Mount Everest, and the soil quality of a superfund cleanup site, before then revealing that it's actually worse on all counts.

I was not aware that conscientious objection is illegal in Singapore, so I'm more educated now on that front. Nonetheless one must ask: Does this count as persecution of Christians specifically, when atheists (and people of other faiths) will similarly be imprisoned if they, too, refuse to serve the military?

Even if I accept the premise that this counts as persecution of Christians, without trivialising these Jehovah's Witnesses' suffering, I'd nonetheless say that their experiences in Singapore do not reach the level of statistical significance on the population level for Singapore to be included in this list (which is a list of the 50 worst countries for Christians to live in). More and more people in Singapore are converting to various branches of Christianity today, and no one (not even Jehovah's Witnesses) are excluded from higher education or well-paying jobs or social benefits because of their religion. Churches are abundant, and there are many schools in Singapore of Christian origins.

Again, I'm not denying that these Jehovah's Witnesses suffer for their conscientious objection. I'm simply saying: Keep perspective. There is no way Singapore is even close to being among the 50 worst countries for Christians in general to live.

A failed cheese usually leaves the attacker so weak that the game is already lost. Cheeses are intended to win the game.

But if you are known to never cheese, your opponent might bet on greedy strategies, sometimes known as "economic cheese": you don't prepare any defense, and skip scouting, to build an overwhelming army all of a sudden at some given time like just after an important couple of upgrades that boost the army (a timing attack).

The "normal" play (economic growth plus scouting) is usually the superior strat, but if your scouting fails to detect a cheese attempt that must be countered with a very specific defense, the game is lost. The occasional cheese keep the players honest so they spend resources in scouting, instead of going greedy.

StarCraft has its own bluffing scheme, that is faking a build so the opponent goes for a specific counter, but actually going for something else.
Sigh…
Long before UKI was a thing, this kind of attack was prevented by hardcoding into an EFI stub kernel the sha512 hash of a trusted initrd that would verify the cryptographic authenticity of the initrd that did the "heavy lifting" (mounting disks etc).

On reflection (and testing), my thought here doesn't stand up. Or rather: I still like writing the data without inline structures, but it doesn't require changing [[packages.wheels]] to a table.

TOML perfectly allows for arrays-of-tables to be put within arrays-of-tables, without any inline syntax, so we could just as well have:

[[packages]]
# other information about the package here
[[packages.wheels]]
name = "attrs-23.2.0-py3-none-any.whl"
upload-time = 2023-12-31T06:30:30.772444Z
url = "https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/e0/44/827b2a91a5816512fcaf3cc4ebc465ccd5d598c45cefa6703fcf4a79018f/attrs-23.2.0-py3-none-any.whl"
size = 60752
hashes.sha256 = "99b87a485a5820b23b879f04c2305b44b951b502fd64be915879d77a7e8fc6f1"

In TOML, subsequent `[[packages.wheels]]` tables would specify another wheel for the most recently mentioned package; `[[packages]]` would close off the details (including wheels) for a package and start the next one.

I've been using Inoreader for a few years now and I'm pretty happy with it. Its reliability and feature set is the right balance for me. I've written about its pros and cons [1], the main pros for me are:

- Very smooth experience between web, android, and iOS apps (I’m mentioning this first, as many other apps I’ve tried are flaky)

- Mark as read while scrolling (Very useful for quickly shortlisting items from the feed. This is probably the main reason I’ve been able to replace Inoreader with social media apps.)

- Rules to auto-delete duplicated items or if the title contains specific words.

> In short, these platforms are places for manufacturing consent. The only sense in which banning one is anti-democratic is that it's selectively applied to tiktok instead of to all such platforms.

Which should be a major concerning point. Censoring a powerful media gives more power to the censor than censoring less powerful ones. Now the censor has the power to ensure that only US government and related big tech corporations are allowed to manufacturate consent over the public, with no way of having options of different views. Suddenly the media becomes even more dangerous.
The first amendment at its core is - if someone wants to say something and someone wants to listen to the first one saying it - the government has no right to prevent or interfere with the process. Banning the app trough which information flows is interference.

And the government doesn't offer any kind of remedy - you can't pick up your whole social cluster and move to another platform.

I am not a fan of sex based discrimination either, but given these very clear assessments from the National Archivist, what is the point of Biden's statement? To me it feels irresponsible, since it can sow distrust in institutions and chaos that is unproductive, when different people/groups argue over something as fundamental as what is in the constitution.

You're making an error by discounting China's manufacturing prowess these days. There are plenty of companies there making products that you would be amazed about, and the plastic crap is simply because of momentum at this point. Japan used to make a lot of crap in the post-war era, until they started making the best electronics and blew the US companies away.
Most ecologists are also anti-natalist, so your premise is wrong.

And if you look at CO2 per capita numbers, the average person in a developed country pollutes tons more, regardless of skin colour: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/co-emissions-per-capita . And there are big outliers too, like Americans, and fossil fuel exporting countries.

And what do you know, most polluters have very low birth rates. Where there are high birth rates, the CO2 emissions are derisory (you need 7 Egyptians or 20 Nigerians to match one American).
