CAP_NET_ADMIN··on IBM debuts sub-1 nanometer chip technology
At some point in the transistor scaling, the electrons started leaking across the gate, we've switched from 2D design to 3D structures to prevent that, so the actual physical gate pitch for like the TSMC 3nm is around 45 nm in distance.

Currently thrown around numbers mean the "equivalent performance/density" or something like that.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Noise infusion banned from statistical products published by Census Bureau
1. People give the information to the government under the expectation that this data is to be kept private or used in such a way that individual targeting is made impossible, you break that expectation and people will lie or won't give you this data.

2. Without noise injection it's rather simple to do statistical attacks to reverse engineer individual entities.

3. This data is and has already been used in the past to undermine democratic systems by targeting and disenfranchising minorities, as well as gerrymandering the US to hell.

4. "Too dangerous to make public, too dangerous to collect" - this is a false dichotomy. To govern effectively you need sensitive data, but it should be collected and used in a way that's safe for the individuals.

5. Macro level aggregates don't need individual exposure, that's why noise, anonymization and statistical functions are fine.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Anthropic, please ship an official Claude Desktop for Linux
With 10x improvement in per capita code output I'm sure they will get there one day.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on I’ve joined Anthropic
It's probably parsing the contents of the entirety of https://killedbygoogle.com/ when it starts up
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on I’ve joined Anthropic
Yep, sadly the case, been using Codex CLI a lot lately and it somehow feels more... refined. Gemini is just tragic.

1. Best harness? It ranks the worst with Opus in terminalbench: https://www.tbench.ai/leaderboard/terminal-bench/2.0?models=...

2. Mixed for the entire bun ecosystem, especially with the Rust, Anthropic-focused rewrite

3. Good, because Anthropic's SDK was one of the worst ones to use.

4. Deal with the guy that has a shit ton of compute around wasting money because no-one uses Grok and was frequently calling Anthropic "Misanthropic".

5. Glorified marketer whose probably greatest achievement in pushing AI forward was instructing on CS 231n and coining the term vibe coding.

Yeah, on a roll.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on We've raised $17M to build what comes after Git
"What comes after Git" looks inside

Git CLI with flowers and unicorns.

Is this what gets funded nowadays? I really hope for a gigantic mega crash of all the IT companies. This industry deserves it like none other.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Simplifying Vulkan one subsystem at a time
So.. like any other Graphics/Compute API when it was actively developed.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Yawning has an unexpected influence on the fluid inside your brain
Gotta switch to ZGC
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on People who know the formula for WD-40
WD-40 is not really that great at anything, people buy the brand name, that's it. The formule being public probably wouldn't change much
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on A battle over Canada’s mystery brain disease
I think it would be worth it to investigate cyanobacteria toxins in water over there as they can cause similar symptoms. Next thing to check would be local sea food. I feel like glyphosate is a red herring here. Heavy metals could come from frequently eating local fish/shellfish.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great
Kate/Kwrite will ask to escalate to root if permissions are not sufficient. If it's not available to you, that's because your distro patched it out.

For ssh - sshpass.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Indoor tanning makes youthful skin much older on a genetic level
Sun also emits infrared which seems to cause positive effects counteracting some of the UV related problems.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Claude in Chrome
Let's spend years plugging holes in V8, splitting browser components to separate processes and improving sandboxing and then just plug in LLM with debugging enabled into Chrome. Great idea. Last time we had such a great idea it was lead in gasoline.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on YouTube addresses lower view counts which seem to be caused by ad blockers
You can still have in-video sponsor spots, in fact, most of the creators have them. Viewership is an important metric to those sponsors.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Speed Brain: Helping web pages load faster (2024)
Good luck hosting any commercial web app without Cloudflare or similar DDoS protection nowadays
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Pig lung transplanted into a human
It was tried earlier by Religa in 1987, but the experiment was a failure AFAIK.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Teenagers no longer answer the phone: Is it a lack of manners or a new trend?
I've had my phone in silent/DND for the past 15 years and never answer the phone unless I'm awaiting a call.

I'm around 30yo.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn't try AI immediately
How many LLM subscriptions are required for Coinbase to drop saturday meetings?
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Military grade sonic weapon is used against protesters in Serbia
If you actually read the page that you've linked, you'll see that many European countries were just using it to deliver COVID notifications
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Comet open source remote KVM from GL-iNet
Depends on the board, I've had many mobos which power on when they receive WoL.

Check your bios settings.

Also, you can probably just strap a wifi-capable relay to power pins on your motherboard.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Carl Sagan Predicts the Decline of America (1995)
Maybe they have one timezone, but there are multiple "China's"
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Kuvasz-streamer: open-source CDC for Postgres for low latency replication
Does anyone know a battle-tested tool that would help with (almost)online migrations of postgresql servers to other hosts? I know it can be done by manually, but I'd like to avoid that
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Do you need Redis? PostgreSQL does queuing, locking, and pub/sub (2021)
Why would you do 50k+ connections if they can't be active all at once either way? Unless you have 50k+ cores and IO beefy enough not to get overwhelmed due to that.

You can have as much connections as you want, but you'll have to trade it for having lower work mem numbers, which hurts performance. Traditional advice is to keep it below 500 per PostgreSQL instance (I'd say physical host).

I've ran dozens of micro services handling thousands of requests per second with a total connection limit of around 200 of which most was still unused - all without any server-side pooler.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on AI PCs Aren't Good at AI: The CPU Beats the NPU
Beauty of CPUs - they'll chew through whatever bs code you throw at them at a reasonable speed.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Dito – an advanced Layer 7 reverse proxy server written in Go
Which Caddy plugins are you using?
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Cloudflare beats patent troll so badly it basically gives up
I was bullied by 3 separate bullies in my school years, every time it ended when I reached some deep rage in me and hit back.

One time I've thrown the bully down the stairs, other time I've hit him with a chair and the last time it was when the bully stole my phone, started going through the photos my girlfriend sent me and commenting them inappropriately - I've smashed his face so hard, the glasses flew like 4 meters away. I was short and overweight, they've never expected the amounts of power I could generate when in rage mode.

So from my limited, anegdotal experience - it works. It also shows other people that they can stand up to the bully and the bully is not some all-powerful being that has to define their present and future.

CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Why wordfreq will not be updated
We are but puny agents of entropy.
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Malaysia started mandating ISPs to redirect DNS queries to local servers
Countries always fighting the most important battles :eyeroll:
CAP_NET_ADMIN··on Malaysia started mandating ISPs to redirect DNS queries to local servers
I'm wondering if they thought about DoT, DoH and DNSCrypt.
