Can’t imagine humans could tolerate life in that rapid cycle.

Government regulation of toxic waste dumping negatively impacts profit margins. We have the data to prove this, very frustrating situation.

We can’t ask every car driver to be a mechanic. Specialization is born of finite time and is valuable.

If you go to your government’s office and they give you a list of names of known advertisers, then walk along your merry way and use the list to not engage those advertisers, the only trust you need is the source of the information on that list, not the list or your observance to it.

Your observance of it is open source in the case of ublock. The list should still be scrutinized, it’s a local system with an unverified source. That’s all.

Yes, but the gas money went to someone else. That spending ability is now lost from the consumer and equally gained by the producer. Extracting a valuable resource is adding value out of thin air (literally with gas at times), but you could argue that we’re reaping efficiency’s gains again by making that resource more useable.

How is value created? Every accumulation of wealth is countered by an equal loss of wealth somewhere else. If you’re in a service industry and devise a process that saves $20 per transaction for a customer, then charge $10 for it, you’re making $10 per transaction in efficiency gains. So that compensates and is still altruistic. Not all businesses work this way of course, but there are ways of extracting wealth without leaving the other side worse off.

Sure, Ted. I’ve let user HAL access feature “door locks”. I’ve corrected all permissions accordingly.

This is how we get to big brother 1984 status. Slowly and gradually in the name of public safety. First you limit information deemed “harmful”, next you make it illegal, then you use your powers to make your own rules.

With the corporate control structure, it looks like we’re heading more towards Neuromancer or Brave New World than 1984. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

It’s amazing how much the luxury car industry has advertised what is essentially a shaking and noise complement to going fast.

The “smooth” revs. The “visceral” feel. The “connection” to the road. It’s just a few metal cylinders going up and down real fast, tuned to sound nice in a packaged product.

It’s like brainwashing. Impressive really. I like going to the track when I can, but that’s a bit different. The statement is the work you’ve put into your car, not how “exclusive” your statement is.

“I’m a vegetarian, but I’d still scarf down a steak.”

You’re confusing your terrorist groups.

Even better, take a physical object and slice it precisely in a ratio that contains your data in the fraction!

In our disturbing legal climate, many judges would say yes.

It’s apparent to me that the law has jumbled a bunch of archaic concepts of what “copying” means in order to transfigure the argument into a technically obscured realm.

A library allows one person to read one book at a time. A digital library doing the same while using technology to make lending more efficient accomplishes the exact same goal.

We’re using precedent to override common sense and prevent digital libraries from effectively existing under the guise of protection.

I’m pretty sure the Red Hat model is to profit off the community efforts while creating convoluted complications in the name of security so they can send their high paid consultants to your business and get paid even more.

Was it professional when they let SSH vulnerabilities exist in RHEL7 forcing perfectly useable machines to upgrade to 8 for remediation?

Don’t get me wrong, they’re the new “nobody got fired for” company (technically still the same). That doesn’t imply Debian and Ubuntu are less secure except in name. Go to Google cloud and see what CIS hardened images exist.

Your perspective is an oversimplification if not completely wrong.

Musk has done some impressive things for himself. Along the way he’s helped out society. Now it seems as though he’s done with that and cares more about changing it match his image.

You would need hardware support to do this effectively. Telling a piece of software “no one is looking at your memory” as the OS doesn’t take into account rootkits and hypervisors.

One with an absurd amount of money that actually focuses on improving society and science. Instead we have Musk, and you’re probably right.

Bloom filters really need to be more present in today’s technology landscape. They’re like magic for certain problems. I believe they have much wider uses than the current subset they’re relegated to.

Time = Distance / Velocity

A simple middle school formula really spells it out clearly.

If you’ve no distance or velocity, you don’t have time. If we pretend that velocity is heat (electron excitation, though technically a cloud), you can see why we can never get to absolute zero without discontinuity (black hole), so time increases or the universe gets larger. There is a reason being cold, slow, and dense are linked.

You can keep increasing the heat to “infinity”, making time slower and slower relatively.

I haven’t tried it, and not the norm, but I agree it should be more common. We have a global supercomputer with higher latency, but still a supercomputer.

> When?!

Diplomatic agreements between nations throughout history. Your land has water, mine has food, we set the value of trade and baseline the currency. The unavoidable cost is the minimum time and labor to transport and extract the resources.

The supply and demand indirectly adjust the transaction prices through multiple layers of exchange. Hence the border tariffs having an impact on exchange rate.

Simplified, but draws a picture.

“WebGPU is supposed to be properly sandboxed.“

GPU must therefore provide open API for proprietary processing space.

Magic “packets” are therefore possible to execute arbitrary functions on “sandboxed” DMA devices.

Still a problem until we can audit the hardware. NV, and to a lesser extent AMD and ARC play somewhat open with a few omnipotent cards in their pockets. The prime of the issue is that gamers don’t care, only security professionals do. Because they’re the ones who see the 0-days fly by every day.

Exchange rates used to be pegged to labor. The futures market obfuscated that and is controlled by a central bank through government issued subsidies which cause food surpluses which “should” reduce the price of produce.. if not for the manipulated futures market.

I’m sure population density is a variable in this equation as well, I just can’t figure out where to pin it.

I think the bigger issue is security. GPU access is too interlinked to kernel drivers. I’ve seen WebGPU and even WebGL crash otherwise stable systems.

Very accurate. We now have this magic technology that can duplicate books we had no problem lending for free when we were physically constrained. Now that we’ve advanced, we still use archaic constructs to artificially limit information.

It’s a sad state.

My interpreter only accepts print and addition to a predefined variable. Let the attackers print and count all they want.

The problem isn’t the execution, it’s the scope of what it means to “execute”.

And cigarettes have benefited the lung cancer research centers. Just because it works doesn’t make it the best course.

If a former employee of mine uses proprietary information to build a competitor, I’d be upset. The key is what is classed as proprietary. You start barking up the software patent tree and you never know what the lawyers will throw back down.

If we can prove entanglement still exists on a per particle level, hawking radiation is just a correlation fix that uses massive black hole lifetimes to reintroduce particles when they no longer affect the time ordering. Experiments showing photons “reversing” in time stop working through a black hole most likely.
