You really explain things in a way that's very easy to understand. I think I finally get it now. I understood the conditional branch part, but I think I was having trouble with the indirect branch predictor. So basically, when a branch instruction is executed, the CPU learns the actual target address. In the case of a switch statement, because the key is a single value like s, the history records get mixed up, whereas with a computed goto, since there are multiple keys, they don't get mixed up. Thank you for the clear explanation. It's a bit embarrassing that I didn't know this, but thanks to people like you, I feel like I'm learning more.
The distance to the horizon at sea level, is 5km, a high flying drone only increases that.
With a 25k range and a 10k ceiling, and a stupid low unit cost it is dead easy to deploy this en mass to protect vital infrastructure and deny lower visibility routes (valleys, places where detection range is short).
They are heavy users of YOLO (image model) that runs on some very low end hardware (sub .35 watt for the most efficient models) - and have shown it to be effective for terminal guidance.
The US has a budget item for 2027, DAWG (defense autonomous war group) - that requested 54 billion dollars. This is larger than the USMC's entire budget. This is a quite admission (another one) that the US is far behind, and the things that are going on in the Ukraine are, terrifying.
Wouldn't I have the same quadratic growth (if not worse) if each community were to self-host their app view and relay?
> because you don’t want to teach each app to crawl PDS’s and subscribe to them
Why not?
If I want true decentralization, that means no central component. For the same reason that communities and individuals host their own RSS readers, each community will in the end also have to host their own relay and app view.
The benefits of decentralisation, including fault-resistance and censorship-resistance, can only manifest once every community is self-hosting their own relay and app view.
This is awesome news! It isn't a jailbreak in and of itself, but it is the first step.
Right now we only have a reliable jailbreak (checkm8) for up to iOS 18 (and that's only thanks to one iPad model). Some app developers are pretty aggressive about dropping support for older iOS versions.
This affects iPhone XR, XS, 11, SE 2nd gen, and a smattering of iPads. Many of these devices got the iOS 27 beta and will likely see future iOS versions for at least another year or two.
The water source is also a factor if you're using a portable drum mixer. One batch from a well can be quite different from another batch from a treated water system or a running creek.
I think your imagination decided to rapidly overcomplicate what is literally (literally literally) Queuing Theory 101 example
If I were to guess there weren't any "backend servers" at all. It was just array of random increasing numbers (that stand for request arrival times) and arrays of numbers with minimum distance (that stand for time each consumer took a request)
there's no connections to "least-ify" the strategy about. There's no difference between consumers, no matter the amount of requests having been processed
Don't tell me you're reading all assembly generated by your local golang or javac compiler? And that you've read every line of code down the dependency tree for your node_modules?
I'm just upset that we are throwing away the original prompts for generated code in such a cavalier fashion.
I'm not afraid of renewables. I encourage building them. I do also realize, that if sufficient nuclear isn't built, gas will be used for firming (or coal in case of China). That's literally what's happening in Germany. Denmark managed to avoid it by relying on nordics which already got pissed and by burning literal wood from America and marking it as renewable.
Lazard doesn't (or at least didn't) estimate the plants to work for 60y either considering all gen 3 are licensed for this period. Lazard also has interesting numbers about LCOE of ren+cheap gas firming. Would be interesting to see the added cost of transmission, considering Germany spends 10x more than France per year on it
Nice, although if you already are running your own DHCP and web server, it's very easy to add a TFTP server and configure everything to serve whatever you want. So it does feel a bit like reinventing the wheel to me.
A PXE boot server has many uses. The project already mentions using it for tools like GParted, Memtest86+ and so on. Booting live OS or OS installers via netboot.xyz is also great. But you can automate things even further; at a previous job (~18 years ago) I used PXE to serve a debian installer image with a preseed file to add user accounts with SSH keys, apt install all the dependencies, and install local binaries to get machines up and running useful stuff without needing to do any manual configuration. Nowadays you'd probably just have it do a minimal install + add just an SSH key, and then let another tool like Ansible take over the rest of the provisioning.
what if instead of this age gate or whatever government is doing, what if we simply said these big companies need to self police and if a child can reach their service they have to pay the child like lets say GBP 10k per instance?
remove all "reasonable step" shield to hide behind. for example, a shopkeeper can't say they took "reasonable steps" if they sell alcohol to a child so why should a website be any different? if we are going to the absurdity of age-gating VPNs, at least lets make it so that there is an incentive for children to self-report
Truly this is the autoexec.bat/xf86config tuning of our modern age. But how long will it take this time until all this painfully accumulated knowledge is obsolete?
I wrote this in my personal diary just today before going to eat for some french fries and coding some questions on codeforces: "I wish to code for myself, nothing else"
I do think that I have the privilege for doing exactly that as I am going to college and many people within the workforce don't exactly have that choice but I believe that long term, the consequences of completely using AI for anything and everything is going to bite, so I am comfortable for the next 4 years to come.
It's not that I dislike AI the tech, but I hate AI, everything surrounding it. We have the abilities to ask it customized questions to learn so much which we previously couldn't have, (Yes AI is still sycophantic and one can say that its a better search engine) but instead, we are using it to completely automate ourselves or creating a set of expectations and ineffectiveness around the competent management around it.
My purpose: I don't think that there's one. We all just exist and I don't wish to die. So I have constructed my purpose around staying alive as an absolute baseline. Everything is built on top of it.
I think that my purpose is to feel alive probably which requires passion,dedication,failure/struggle, acceptance and perhaps friendship and love. I recently heard a line which struck with me is that: "Life has so much to offer, why are we stuck at only one emotion of happiness, why not just be alive"
I want to do better and be more competitive for the sake of it because I like doing the thing and improving at it.
Thus, I wish to code for myself, nothing else, except eating french fries of course :)
I had similar thoughts: "let's convince everyone to outsource the decision on who can access their websites to us, because BOTS BOTS BOTS" and "let's make life easier for bots to do things".
