I didn't read too much into it, but apparently 11m people is the critical mass needed for a national protest that can't be ignored. So, it's more around 2-3%. Maybe more is needed, but at that point you will get a network effect of others joining in for the sake of joining in.

We're spread, but IIRC the 10 most populous metro contains half the population. It'd more be a matter in making sure each major hub has around 500k-1m people gathered. As a matter of scale, the Montgomery march was 256k.

>Most people are too apathetic to be bothered and by the time some final straw makes them care it'll likely be too late.

I suppose we'll see soon enough at this current rate.
I haven’t explored that. My intended use case was outbound calls, so I just bought a phone that allows you to switch the ringer off.

Rather than specific hours, I would probably just create an allowlist of friend and family numbers and trust them not to abuse it.
Absolutely - especially when we are talking about first person shooters.
I don't understand why you'd want anything in your house to release smells independently of delivering some essential function. I find it distracting at best, and headache-inducing at worst. Cosmetic products are particularly offensive. Let this study serve as a call to eliminate stinky products!

> That doesn’t correct the situation in which the device is ignoring DHCP DNS requests.

That's the first time such a thing has been mentioned in this thread.

But I now get what you're trying to say in your comment above.

Sure, one can use e.g. iptables, to forward all outbound traffic on some port to some local IP. If your router has such capabilities.

But your rules won't be as simple as forward all port 53 traffic: you'll need to ensure that you exclude the PiHole from any rules like that (otherwise it would create an infinite loop) - or ensure the rule is specific for the device(s) in question.

And of course it wouldn't work if the device is using DoH.

But the issue you've introduced here, a device with hard-coded DNS, isn't really what this thread is about — the topic here was ~about wanting to group clients in PiHole, and different ways to configure the router to achieve this, without only seeing a single requesting client IP at the PiHole.

The daves garage youtube has an episode where he documents the pitfalls of compiling 2bsd for a PDP-11/83. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBFeM-sa2YY basically it is an art on a memory constrained system.

What I found entertaining was when he was explaining how to compile the kernel, I went Oh! that's where openbsd gets it from. it is still a very similar process.

Hey thanks for your comment!

1. I don't do anything special to handle loading latency, but it doesn't seem to be too much of an issue so far. At each sequencer step I issue the pad command to the YT.Player. If that part of the video hasn't loaded yet, then it doesn't always sound right at first, but Youtube seems to handle it pretty well by caching "where" you've been in the video.

2. Yes, there are 4 sequencers. At each step, for each active sequencer, I call an executeCommand function. Right now, just in a for loop. At one point I tried doing this with a Promise but I think the overhead of creating Promises so many times a second outweighed any benefit in performance and I scrapped it.

3. The AWS free tier expiring is actually a matter of time rather than server load. I have essentially 10 more months of free EC2 usage left. Server stuff is just the pattern sharing which is pretty lightweight, just storing and serving text files. I would have just used MongoDB which would have been free but I wanted to learn EC2, GraphQL, RDS.

4. I don't have a Featured Patterns page but you can go to the Share Patterns page and sort by Most Liked. I do agree that it would be a good idea though, perhaps as the default option of the sorting dropdown. But first I need to get the word out so the community will actually make some rhythm patterns ;)
America imports GPUs from Singapore? I don't think Singapore is more than a drop in the bucket of America's GPU imports. America imports them from Taiwan.

This makes me skeptical of your other claims. Do you have evidence that most of the rest of the world for some reason routes their GPU imports through Singapore? That seems quite pointless.
Computers implement power limits by reducing their own speed until their power consumption falls under the limit. There's no risk of damage and it should actually extend the lifetime due to less heat, as well as increasing the efficiency (computation per watt).

No idea what the article is talking about with the damage. Computers like to run slow when possible. There's basically no downside except they take longer to do things.
It takes me about 6 weeks to find a similar job on my job hunts. Another remote US job while living remotely via digital nomad visa seems like the way to do it. Another route would be to go to Netherlands, and if a layoff did happen, do DAFT entrepreneur visa and work the shiz out of asking businesses for contracts to do web development , build infra, database inventory, and such. I feel confident this is a good plan so far.

* and yes, moving back to the US is a possibility should all else fail.

"Bits" is a stupid measure of "computer". The TI-99/4A clearly belongs in the 8-bit era of computers.

Motorola's 68000 was the single most prolific microprocessor of the 16-bit era. Yet all the registers are 32-bit, and all the instructions easily operate on 32-bit values [1]. About the only claim to being "16-bit" is the 16-bit wide data bus.

If we go by that metric, then the IBM PC (with its 8088 hobbled by an 8-bit data bus) is clearly just another 8-bit microcomputer.

BTW, this is absolutely the way that Motorola sees it. The 68008 is just a 68000 hobbled with an 8-bit data bus, and they label it as a 8/32-bit microprocessor.

[1] And if anyone dares to point out that the 68000's ALU is only 16-bits wide, then I have bad news about the Z-80: It only has a 4-bit ALU, so I guess it's actually a 4-bit microprocessor
I can think of several issues with the C++ committee that people can reasonably point to (some of them mutually contradictory even!), but I have no idea which of them is being referred to. It's possible he's referring to profiles, which is one of those cases where there's mutually contradictory criticisms that can be leveled against it so I have no idea in that case if he thinks they're a good or a bad thing.

Personally, the biggest issue that gives me fear for C++'s future is that the committee seems to have more or less stopped listening to implementer feedback and concerns.
You intuit it from discussions you've had with users about what they want, and with other developers about what can feasibly be built. If there's some reproducible process to identify good product ideas, I've never seen it in action, and I suspect the software market would look quite a bit different if it existed.
That sounds like the level of effort I'm after, thanks neighbor.
The SunCable project is still moving forward.

There was a disagreement between the co-founders. One wanted to use HVDC cable to transmit power, the other wanted to use electrolysis to produce Hydrogen, put that on ships, then burn it in Singapore to produce electricity.

To resolve the dispute, they both agreed to put the project into administration, then both made bids to take full control, with HVDC proponent Mike Cannon-Brooks (co-founder of Atlassian btw) eventually winning control.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Green hydrogen plan eventually makes a come back, as solar power from Northern Australia has a compellingly low LCOE.
The challenge with any article like this is that the correlated impact on health outcomes is always implied in the article but is rarely studied as part of the research cited. Just because a is bad and b has a property similar to a that doesn't imply b has the same harmful impacts as a. I really wish articles would limit big headlines like this unless the research cited was directly comparing mortality and health outcomes directly. If the study this article was based on came to the conclusion that 'average household aerosol use has a similar associated mortality risk as average city car pollution' then the title could have been warranted but instead we got a bit of click-bait. A slightly better title could have been 'Scented products cause unexpected levels of indoor air pollution'. I'd even argue 'Scented products cause concerning levels of indoor air pollution' is a reasonable title since it is worth our concern and further study.
I have a (regular) Pixel 8 and given that this is smaller and finally has USB-C I'm very tempted to try to jump to Apple again but I'm curious about the following:

1. Is there a terminal equivalent like termux?

2. Is there an open source wireguard client like the official wireguard client for Android?

3. Is it possible to upload mp4 videos to it to watch offline?

4. Is it possible to upload some of my mp3 collection to it to play offline?

5. I believe syncthing isn't officially supported. Are there any alternative syncthing implementations or workarounds?
> If something is in memory it's under their control regardless of any magical memory encryption implementation providers claim to use.

That's not true. For example, to live-migrate Confidential VMs running on AMD SEV-SNP or Intel TDX, there is an extra step of negotiating encryption keys for live migration so that the hypervisor never sees plaintext memory pages of the guest VM. A few relevant docs:

* https://lpc.events/event/11/contributions/958/attachments/76...

* https://lpc.events/event/17/contributions/1532/attachments/1...

* https://lpc.events/event/11/contributions/960/attachments/83...

I'm not aware of any Confidential Computing platform where it is possible to snapshot/cold migrate VMs at all.

(Replying to both you and the parent poster)

Airlines are far from perfect. They overbook flights and sometimes have to ask people leave and pay them for the inconvenience. My wife and I once got $1000 a piece and a hotel and food voucher to volunteer to take a flight the next day on a layover in Atlanta.

As far as your particular situation, the number one rule of using a third party portal to book flights or hotels is - don’t.

I understand that Iceland Air is not a transfer partner of Chase. But even in that case, I would just wait to use my points until I could use a transfer partner.

On the earning side if paying cash, the difference between 2x/3x points when booking directly and 5x when going through the portal just isn’t worth the risk.
The cost of living is rising everywhere, not just Singapore, so I’m not sure how relevant that factor is. Do you have evidence that MNCs are net moving out of Singapore?

The things Trump has put in place may long outlive him. Roe v Wade lasted a long time.
I completely agree, which is why I’m very pessimistic about the outlook. I have no faith that the American public is up to the task. It will demand too much discomfort, and sacrifice, while the alternative will ask only that they do nothing.
the idea that propaganda doesn't work is certainly an interesting one.
> Cases 1 and 3 have significant negative effects on both technology and society that the law should prevent. Case 2 covers your brilliant new invention but don't bring it to market yourself and is fine.

How are 2 and 3 meaningfully different as far as anyone outside is concerned though? If I own a field and I'm not a farmer, no-one cares much whether I rent it out to someone else to farm on or sell it to (either for some proportion of their income or for a straight up flat fee). Economically it's all the same - you can rent something or you can buy it funded with a loan, and your cash flows will be more or less identical.
Three system calls per packet is not a serious design.

First of all, QUIC supports ack ranges which allow ack coalescing, so you do not need to average one ack per packet.

Second of all, QUIC supports frame packing, so you can piggyback on the opposing flow, though in these one-way benchmarks that should not matter.

Third of all, even 1 syscall per packet is not a serious design. You should be doing batch packet reads and writes to amortize that overhead and such APIs have existed for over a decade.

And again, these other aspects should apply zero meaningful performance impact when comparing to ~7 Gbps unless they, themselves, are outrageously slow. But then these would not be QUIC benchmarks, they are “my outrageously slow encryption and UDP stack” benchmarks. And it still falls back to my overarching point which is that ~7 Gbps per core for your end to end networking seems awfully slow. If QUIC is not your bottleneck, then why not benchmark non-bottlenecked systems. If QUIC is your bottleneck, then that seems really slow.
> Most of them got there for lack of interest in dietary change, so pushing a cure they have repeatedly rejected is not likely to be successful.

That's not true for everyone - at least not for me. For years I happily drank "green smoothies" that were undoing much of the benefit of running marathons.

Most people grew up thinking that our diet should be based on a foundation of carbs, because that's what we were told. And that is false.

I agree with you that many people cannot or will not change, but it makes no sense to say "don't even give people the information that can change their lives, but instead continue to lie to them."
...plus journalism, the fourth branch.
You can continue to pontificate the blind but that is a failure to see reality as it is.
> The iPhone 13 Mini all by itself sold about the half of the rate of the entire Google Pixel lineup.

How much of that was due to the SE 2 being available at a better price while meeting most prospective customers needs?

Personally I was looking forward to an upgrade... but not now.
This "problem" of not being able to use Claude or GPT-4o for Swift iOS apps is news to me as an aider.chat + Xcode user.

Last summer I used aider.chat to develop a new feature along with a new and complex animated multi view, leveraging SwiftUI as well as a number of new Swift 5.9 and Swift 5.10 features, for a Swift 5.9 upgraded to 5.10 iOS application built using Xcode and the new live view (instead of the simulator), with auto-commits and each push to GitHub causing a Testflight build.

I worked with Xcode open, but a separate MacOS "Terminal.app" window for aider.chat, with Xcode using a first class git repo. Since aider.chat does git commits to add and undo, Xcode followed along perfectly, contrary to the article's claims.

In fact, as fast as aider committed code, the code changes recompiled and the live view updated, which felt about as "live" as a JS fiddle or other live JS preview tool.

More amazing to me -- views usually updated with aider's changes without restarting the app or losing any state.

I still prefer the hybrid of aider in terminal along side a git-savvy IDE over Cursor or Cline.
> think about the lengths to which Apple has gone to build a private cloud infrastructure

None? I don't know what you're referring to. Apple's not running any kind of cloud on my private device. Their Private Cloud Compute is about running inference on Apple's cloud but with privacy guarantees -- not on consumer devices.

> It's one thing for them to offer that as a do-gooder service to their customers, which it certainly is.

Again, no idea what you're talking about. Who's doing good to who? Apple's providing a service to get you to buy their hardware. Consumers aren't doing good for other consumers.

> why wouldn't they use spare compute at the edge for inference? It's smart.

You're talking about on people's devices? Because it would use up their battery and heat up their devices and connectivity can be spotty which leads to terrible latency. I mean, that would be as bad as secretly mining Bitcoin on people's devices. How would that ever be smart?

And Apple's in the business of selling hardware. Not helping people save money by sharing hardware. You can't even share an iPad with different logins for family members.
“a way people would take offense to” what does that part mean? I don’t mean to reverse the question on you but what would be an example?

Is the head of the executive an expert in all things? And capable of communicating those expert desires with perfect clarity?

Why have courts if the executive head can sort out all legal nuance themselves?
Yeah that's why firekisina is not recommended by most Buddhist Vipassana meditation paractioners. Without a mentor who understands it nearby it has side effects that can make one go crazy.

previous presidents didn't have to worry as much about this before 8 months ago when SCOTUS declared presidential immunity. The only ones able to abuse this power was a few months of Biden (who said he wouldn't) and now, trump 47 after a month stretching it to a thin paste.
The spreadsheet in isolation view does seem odd to farming types.

We have chickens, my father's still looking after them and he's had chooks since his birth in 1935 .. along with at least 10 fruit trees on any property we've had, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, herbs, pumpkins, and all the usual stuff that you can sow and that grows pretty well on its own (we've all had other jobs .. but this all stems from either growing acres of grain in some wings of the family or raising cattle in remote parts of Australia far from regular shops).

Point being, chickens do well on picking through big piles of rotting down compost from everything else so feed costs are low, return on having chicken shit turned into soil that can be used for the next garden bed is high, value of having bugs kept in check is saving on sprays, etc.

By all means keep a spreadsheet, I'm fond of them also, but having had chooks for decades we see them more as an integrated component of a bigger picture.
Recovering RF tapes, even a simple text file demonstrates buffer space that is not being used by the dos, or .iso file. Even in a 2.11 BSD distro, a default tiling and window manager has to be installed on the native OS. So yes, going with KDE or the X11 wm.

This is stating the obvious, but LLM is not the only use case for a data centre.
It might well be the case that, today, the executive branch (which includes essentially the entirety of what most people consider “the federal government”) is largely staffed by those who want to paralyze it.

You can certainly say that these people are right to try to resist the changes Trump is trying to make. But, like it or not, Trump is the democratically elected President, and it’s quite a challenge to come up with a conceptual model of American government that prevents him from exercising his constitutional authority over the Executive branch.
You can use Subtrace entirely locally without talking to subtrace.dev using the -devtools flag. For example:

subtrace run -devtools=/subtrace -- python3 -m http.server

Then go to http://localhost:8000/subtrace and you'll see the Chrome DevTools interface running in your browser like a regular app. Any request sent to http://localhost:8000 should appear there in realtime. Note that the -devtools flag is kinda best effort because Subtrace is intended to be used in production.

We have fully on-prem installations for enterprises, of course (e.g. if you're in a highly regulated industry like healthcare).
Yeah, it's the higher-amplitude wobbles of a complex system before it snaps and finds a new equilibrium.
What the parent said:

“If the law says the President cannot fire someone, or interfere in an agency’s work, then the President cannot.”

This is, indeed, flatly incorrect. Congress cannot pass a law requiring that the Secretary of State or Defense or Treasury be fired only for cause. The SCOTUS case knocking it down would likely be 9-0.

“Congress writes the laws and can make them say whatever they want” totally ignores separation-of-powers concerns that the Constitution and its guardians in Article III courts take very seriously.
Very impressive improvement over Viggle. I don't know if Viggle was considered sota previously, but it's certainly had its moment of popularity at the end of last year.
