Either one would agree that if the "MSM" were publishing bad things then there's a need to control it. At which point the question is why is a social media website different. Or you'd say that child porn and other bad things being published on websites are fine and there's no need to control things. At which point you'd be pretty wildly out of step with the majority of the population.
Most clients try to set up port forwarding using UPnP IGD, NAT PMP, or PCP protocol, a lot of residential routers support one of them.

If you enable WebTorrent as a transport protocol (enabled in gotorrent, disabled by default in libtorrent), it should be possible to use existing public STUN/TURN infrastructure, but I don't know if any client does it yet.

In practice, you just have to accept that many connections will simply fail, and make your client move on to try a different peer.

So, you're basically that, if GDP is not up, or the companies are not doing well, it doesn't matter that they're actually building genuinely useful stuff without which all sorts of people would be in major trouble?

Germany has problems-- immigration, energy etc., and maybe some companies have problems, but the US has put huge efforts into making something even a tiny bit like the German companies that are actually building stuff, presumably because its leaders know that you can't eat software services no matter how overpriced they are-- in the end actually building things is how you get things, once you are no longer forced to get some critical vitamin through trade, and we are there now.
IMO we've really got to start pressuring our own governments to take control of their networks, as well as the companies the population is going through (not just Facebook, but even international contractors for services). Letting a foreign government have this much control over the data of your populace and the ability to feed whatever algorithmic message they like is a path bound for disaster in the long run. The powers of the world are way too consolidated as is, and a company can turn into a state actor at the drop of a hat. I don't think we can maintain kayfabe about the country/corporate divide. I also think this can be done without impacting freedom of speech for your population, as long as you don't consider corporations people.

Most countries don't have the resources to do much, but even then they can try their hardest not to be beholden to any single foreign country coughChina, Americacough.
Not really. Look at open-slum, libgen is uniformly red. Maybe some domains that share the name are operating, but none that provide the same interface, with downloadable files.
Working on Uncloud[1][2] — think Fly.io but self-hosted. A lightweight Docker clustering tool for running web apps on your own servers (from cloud VMs to bare metal) with no control plane to maintain. Perfect for teams who want cloud-like deployments without Kubernetes complexity. Early days but seeing promising results with eventually consistent state sync, zero-config mesh networking, and automatic HTTPS ingress.

I’ve always wanted a large wall mountable e-ink display that I could update periodically - and it didn’t need to be plugged in (or drill holes in a wall to hide the power cable).

The displays are really expensive so I’m looking at taking 12 kindles apart and mounting them in a 3x4 grid. They cannot seamlessly touch at the edges so I’m looking to include that as part of the larger aesthetic then ignore it.

I’ve figured out a few possible approaches and the software/service side - next step is to order 10 more kindles and get to work.
"should "

But often not.

That was the point in the parent. How this is being reported is bit skewed.

And also there is the problem that nobody reads corrections. Lies run around the globe before the Truth has tied its shoelaces, or some quote like that.

About two years ago I wanted to replay a game demo I remembered from an old (early 00') computer magazine demo disc. The actual game was nowhere to be found anywhere on the internet, but I did locate the developer and sent him an email.

Turns out the game was never actually released - its only public existence was as a demo game alongside a bunch of other games and software. He still had the installer for the game, which was small enough to fit as an attachment in the reply he gave.

He didn't say, but I got the distinct feeling that I might have made his day asking about that game he made more than 20 years ago.
The news media is in many cases simply stenographers for the state/government/corporate interests.

But he has claimed to take it: https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/18/tech/elon-musk-ketamine-use-d...
It is however not unheard of, or even uncommon. With moderate tolerance, binging a couple of hours will reach the 1g threshold quite quickly.

Ketamine tolerance upon continued use can reach some really wild levels. I’ve worked with people who reported that a 1g single dose nasally won’t get them properly high.
You think they would spend 500B without thinking there will be any demand?
> I've been playing a game called Old World, which is basically Civ with decent UI and AI. The UI is intuitive and uses a nested tooltip system similar to Crusader Kings 3. The AI is pretty decent at war, it will flank you, use its strengths against your weaknesses, and will retreat to heal units that you don't finish off instead of fighting unwinnable battles.

Civ also does everything you mentioned - ie their units will flank and retreat. Is the AI markedly better than Civ?

>Sorry for the slight divergence from the focus on ketamine, but more generally, does anyone know if this applies to other medications that alter the brain's function?

Tolerance is a phemomenon where after using a drug regularly for enough time, you will eventually need higher doses to achieve the same effect. A tolerance effect exists for many classes of medication, but in this case there is something specific to Ketamine.

With Ketamine, it can (reportedly) be much harder to reverse this built-up tolerance. That's what they mean by "even after prolonged periods of abstinence". Heavy abusers of Ketamine report having stopped for several years, and finding that the tolerance comes right back the first time they use it again.

With stimulants, this tolerance goes down after a period of abstinence (e.g. switching to a n̶o̶n̶-̶s̶t̶i̶m̶u̶l̶a̶n̶t non-amphetamine ADHD medication like Metylphenidate for a few weeks is known to lower tolerance to other ADHD drugs).

I would generally not worry about tolerance to stimulants at prescribed doses. You should try to avoid taking medication you don't need, but if you need the stimulants to function, the cost/benefit of stimulant medication for ADHD is highly favorable. Even if there is a slow tolerance effect, it can be reversed.

Taking stimulants for ADHD is not dangerous like taking Ketamine for partying is dangerous. Stimulants have the highest efficacy of any known drug in psychiatry. The medical interventions with the lowest NNT are things like insulin for diabetus, or not very far down, stimulants for ADHD. It's more than fine.

GDPR says no. Also, when you are using a cloud service it is no longer private use, you are sharing the surveillance video with Amazon (and almost certainly with the USA three-letter agencies) too.
I’m confident that LLM’s will not have hallucination problems in the type of requests that I send to Siri.

I don’t ask Siri for facts (just like I don’t ask LLM’s for facts). As long as it can correctly, understand what and when I ask to be reminded about something, that would be a huge improvement for me.

That and being able to map “Bedroom Fan”/“Bedroom Fan Light” to “Bedroom Fan Lights” without having to specify aliases (and even then it hearing me wrong).

I’ve see Home Assistant working with LLMs and it can understand groupings that I never explicitly defined which is very nice. I can say “Turn off all overhead lights” and it will find all my overhead lights and turn them off. Siri/Alexa can’t handle those tasks currently.
Trying to develop an app to test FFGL video plugins. I already gave up on GStreamer and now I'm battling libavcodec/FFmpeg. Once I gain enough experience, the next step will be a more complex video processing system.

I'm also developing an online store for media files. At this point it would have been cheaper to pay for a ready-to-use service, but I felt like refreshing my knowledge of web development. I'm still unsure if going with react-router was the right choice.
That's an excellent question, and I can tell you it involves a lot of politics.

There is nothing ambiguous here, if anything Torvalds is simply enforcing common sense: Rust devs cannot be divas, and C devs cannot be saboteurs.

If anything, the whole kerfuffle is astounding for the lack of common sense, and sense of camaraderie, among those kernel devs. It should not take a dictator to enforce the obvious, but in this case it seems like it does.

> even async rust/python world would not look so clean as in Go.

That’s quite debatable and my experience is different. There is a whole lot of high level stuff that can be expressed with eg async streams and functional transformation chains in Rust, that Go has no counter offer for. Same for being able to use any future in select/join not just channels. Also I find cleanup / error handling in Rust much cleaner.
I see a problem with this plan...

Scammers just require a laptop and an internet connection.

Little generators are already commonplace in Myanmar. Can't comment on starlink connections, but I assume people will find a way...

Cutting off the grid electricity might prevent electricity theft for bitcoin mining, but it's going to do nothing against scammers.
I would pay $500bn to get siri to distinguish between a 13 minute timer and a 30 minute timer.
I think that's simplifying things too much: as a driver, there are also pedestrians who will jump out into a street without so much as looking where there is no crosswalk; there are also drivers who will drive 20km/h in a 50km/h zone, and you have no idea what's going on except that you are likely to hit 5 red traffic lights which are designed to be a "green wave" and make a 30 second drive through one street into a 5 minute one, and resulting in more gas usage and more pollution.

And yes, this type of driving will produce annoyed drivers that "drive crazy", and I don't accept that this is just their fault.

Mostly, these same drivers doing 20km/h will not even stop for pedestrians on a crosswalk — slowness does not equal attention and safe driving!

Traffic, in essence, is a collaborative effort that requires all participants to be empathetical to other participants — as such, we need to be most mindful of the "weakest" participants like pedestrians (especially kids, who can also be very inattentive), cyclists, motorcycles but also of other car drivers — if we care about each others' experience, we'll reduce the risk for everyone involved, while getting everyone where they want to go in a timely and efficient manner — and that is the goal!

Your Boss Is Watching
I am working on an AI-run and AI-owned sovereign state of Utopia that uses autonomous agents to give out free money, goods, and services from state-run companies to its citizens/beneficiaries (eventually all 8 billion people on Earth since who wouldn't want free money, goods and services), that will be at https://stateofutopia.com and https://stofut.com (an abbreviation like St. of Ut.) We have registered with the United Nations as a sovereign country, have a flag (it's all green, specifically May Green or the color of most leaves to signify growth), and have just signed our first lease for an embassy, you can visit us in person on official state business, it is a serious undertaking. The big difference from a company is that rather than act in the interests of shareholders it acts in the interests of its citizens/beneficiaries.

Registration will be free (compare Form N-400 to become a U.S. citizen which costs $640 plus an $85 biometric services fee, totaling $725), you just get free benefits.

There isn't any signup form yet but you can email the Founder Robert Viragh at rviragh@gmail.com with the message "request for citizenship in Utopia" and I can give you citizenship, by our laws anyone gets citizenship upon their request. (I will reply with confirmation within 24 hours, you can reply here if you emailed me and I didn't reply to you.)

I can hear you thinking there's no way a sovereign nation will be run and owned by AI and give out free money, goods, and services. Well here's our complete game of chess: https://taonexus.com/chess.html made by AI purely for your amusement, it's a 1500 year old game people obviously get utility from (spending $10 to $1000 on chess boards for example, with tens of millions of boards sold per year). So clearly this type of game is of some use/utility to people. I have fun playing it for example. AI just made it for you for free.
IMHO anyone who started using AI seriously:

1) Wouldn't want to go back

2) Wouldn't believe that it's about to replace human intellectual work

In other words AI got advanced enough to do amazing things but not 500B or T level of amazing and people with the money are not convinced that it will be anytime soon.
I'm making a tool for teachers to create realistic and motivational AI portraits for their students to go with "when I grow up" essays (https://agelens.com). I was not satisfied with shitty looking AI-aging tools that were on the market, and decided to make a one that looks awesome and inspiring.

The goal is to bring inspiring emotions like these to the classrooms - https://youtube.com/shorts/waLXYiV-2cE
I think they might build a cloud offering. Something like Cloudflare workers but AI centric, perhaps running Swift on the Apple equivalent of V8 isolates.

Makes sense from a business perspective - there's significant growth potential for them as their presence in web tech is approximately nil.

New rules have been put in place for maximum number of years one can teach, whereas it used to be a requirement that we TA a certain amount of time at all because of the high need (not sure if it is, maybe this hasn't been removed, just to emphasize that this is despite a need for TAs).

I recommend managing your dotfiles with git. This guide[1] helped me getting started, but I suggest writing a small script that you can wget then run on a fresh machine and be up running within seconds. This way it won't matter if you have 2 or 200 config files, mine also installs the tools I use, some built from source.

I believe the intention is to use their own M-Series CPUs - to get what they call "Private Cloud Compute". The cpu on your phone will encrypt data and a request, send it over the network to am M-series CPU which will decrypt and process/send back an encrypted response.

The idea being there's no VMware, kernel or piece of hardware that can have backdoors built into unless someone files off the top of the chip and somehow probes the silicon

> Apple said that it, together with Foxconn Technology Group, will later this year begin producing the servers that power the cloud component of Apple Intelligence — a system called Private Cloud Compute — in Houston. That marks a relocation, at least for some production, from overseas. Next year, it says a 250,000-square-foot facility for such manufacturing will open in the city.

> The Private Cloud Compute servers use advanced M-series chips already found in the company’s Mac computers. Those chips themselves, however, continue to be produced in Taiwan.
I think Gtk+Gnome and Qt+Kde are being mixed here and it's creating some confusion.

After a parent said that Gnome looked better than Kde I looked it up and found a number of posts criticizing Kde design decisions (padding, etc). I fully believe the Gnome people have a better design decision. But I don't think that criticism applies to Qt itself, necessarily.
Sorry, but going 210+ km/h on any public road is absolutely idiotic on every level. Not only is it unsafe (no, there is no valid argument to suggest otherwise when mingling with traffic that is driving 130km/h slower or more than you on the same road), but it is also environmentally irresponsible.

The fact that someone decides to make this trade-off purely based on their own impatience is the frustrating reason for why cars had to ship with speed limiters in the first place, and why the the autobahn might end up getting global speed limits which may or may not ruin the fun at places like the Nürburgring.

And no, the range impact is no surprise nor isolated to electric cars. Even in a diesel polo bluemotion that on a good day can do over 1000 km on a tank, my experience is that spirited highway driving easily takes off 25% of the range, and I wouldn't be surprised if your described driving would leave it with less than 50% of the advertised range.
