The comment section say they were using second hand component. Basically salvage yard parts.
j16sdiz··on Jepsen: NATS 2.12.1
The traditional way is paper trails and/or WORM (write-once-read-many) devices, with local checksums.

You can have multiple replica without extra computation for hash and stuffs.

j16sdiz··on The "confident idiot" problem: Why AI needs hard rules, not vibe checks
Once the context is polluted with wrong information, it is almost impossible to get it right again.

The only reliable way to recover is to edit your previous question to include the clarification, and let it regenerate the answer.

j16sdiz··on YouTube does not apply GenAI filters to videos
I understand GenAI and (traditional) machine learning is different technology, but this is not helping for those creator who think their content were altered to become worse.
j16sdiz··on CATL expects oceanic electric ships in three years
This is overly optimistic.

If you expect _oceanic_ ships in 3 year, you need to start building infrastructure today, in multiple ports.

If you need to build those infrastructure today, you need to have something standardize.

otoh, if all you want are just some prototypes, we have them today already..

j16sdiz··on CATL expects oceanic electric ships in three years
> Massive battery banks at the ports.

These kind of infrastructure is not something you can build in 3 year. You need more than one port having that.

j16sdiz··on The C++ standard for the F-35 Fighter Jet [video]
It is more than that.

This is what make remote debugging possible. It is impossible to do interactive remote debugging over a ultra low bandwidth link. If everything have static address and deterministic static, you can have a exact copy on ground and debug there.

j16sdiz··on The C++ standard for the F-35 Fighter Jet [video]
It is more a debug/development feature. You can try out some idea without fixing the whole code base.
j16sdiz··on It’s time to free JavaScript (2024)
Just like SSL vs TLs

j16sdiz··on India orders smartphone makers to preload state-owned cyber safety app
Depends on what permission this app have.

- Is this a (voice) call blocker?

- Can it intercept SMS?

- Can it enumerate installed app and read data from other apps?

j16sdiz··on WinApps: Run Windows apps as if they were a part of the native Linux OS
> Icon in the Public Domain.

You can't re-create an icon to circumvent trademark law.

Using icon to refer to an application is fair use.

I am not sure what's the point of having a public domain icon.

> - deceiving someone into thinking they're talking to a human

This is gonna be as enforceable as the CANSPAM act. (i.e. you will get a few big cases, but it's nothing compared to the overall situation)

How do you proof it in court? Do we need to record all private conversations?

j16sdiz··on 'Once in 300 years' rain hits Thai city as floods ravage South East Asia
Nobody knows the future. Most of the time we just use historical data directly, or project linearly.

These kind of headline is very misleading. Need better way to communicate these.

j16sdiz··on What they don't tell you about maintaining an open source project
It is easier in EU than in US.
j16sdiz··on Google Antigravity exfiltrates data via indirect prompt injection attack
Something need to process the untrustworthy data before it can become trustworthy =/
j16sdiz··on Java Decompiler
This one haven't been updated for 5 years and do not support any newer java features.
j16sdiz··on Why CUDA translation wont unlock AMD
I am not saying this is impossible, but I am down voting this because this is _not an interesting discussion_.

The whole point of having an online discussion forum is to exchange and create new ideas. What you are advocating is essentially "maybe we can stop generating new ideas because we don't have to. we should just sit and wait"... Well, yes, no, maybe. but this is not what I expect to get from here.

j16sdiz··on Why CUDA translation wont unlock AMD
So, your strategy for solving this is: Convert it to another harder problem (AGI). Now it is somebody else (AI researcher)'s problem.

This is outsourcing the task to AI researchers.

j16sdiz··on Why CUDA translation wont unlock AMD
The same as "Why just outsourcing it to <some country >"

AI aint magic.

You need more effort to manage, test and validate that.

j16sdiz··on Researchers discover security vulnerability in WhatsApp
To create a whatsapp acccount, you need to authenticate with sms first. If the country is that strict around whatsapp, this alone would bring you trouble.
j16sdiz··on Go's Sweet 16
Parent say _all_ of it, not a subset for everyday use.
j16sdiz··on Being poor vs. being broke
Not an summary, I think.

TFA said something cancel Netflix as "advice for getting through being broke". This is not in the "original" article you linked.

Could be AI (I honestly don't know), but it is not a "summary".

j16sdiz··on Games Preservation Is Hard and Sometimes Involves Private Detectives
Why would you need the ownership of that?

All I care is the right to create/distribute copies and derived works

j16sdiz··on Hard Rust requirements from May onward
In that case, the "6 months" deadline for non-m64k is just a false option.

I would consider that a passive-aggressive or an insult

j16sdiz··on Hard Rust requirements from May onward
I meant, that email literally ask the fellow developer to either finish the Rust port or sunset the debian port in 6 months.

I am asking if the former option is a practical one

j16sdiz··on Hard Rust requirements from May onward
Never tried to port LLVM. Is 6 months a reasonable timeframe to bring LLVM to a new architecture to production quality?
j16sdiz··on The cryptography behind electronic passports
> authoritarian countries that issue modern e-passports but do not allow free elections

You are trying to solve a political problem with a technological solution.

1. Many authoritarian countries don't allow freedom of travel (i.e. it is not easy to get a passport)

2. If they don't care free election, what's stopping them issuing more passport just for voting?

3. What's stopping them confiscating or revoking your passport?

j16sdiz··on How OpenAI uses complex and circular deals to fuel its multibillion-dollar rise
You need the infrastructure, not just the model.

The model can be free, but the infrastructure (data center) ain't.

Abstract: Psilocybe mushrooms are consumed for their hallucinogenic properties. Fortunately, there are relatively few adverse effects associated with their consumption. This is the first reported case of acute kidney injury (AKI) secondary to confirmed ingestion of Psilocybe cubensis mushroom. A 15-year-old male developed symptomatic AKI 36 h post-ingestion of Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms. He was admitted to hospital with hypertension, nausea and abdominal pain and a creatinine of 450 mmol/L. A sample of the crop of mushrooms was confirmed by mass spectrometry to contain psilocin. On day 5 post-admission, he was discharged home. Outpatient follow-up confirmed complete resolution of his renal function.
