Having no map is weird. Wikipedia has one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stad_Ship_Tunnel

Doh, you're right, it's way bigger. I was in too much of a rush.

100×10^12 km is about 10.6 light years. There are about 16 other stars closer to the sun than that. It's a bit like a human body containing blood vessels with total length greater than twice the Earth's circumference.

Of course not, but the probability is significantly higher in a language full of memory footguns.

There's no indication it was MSVC, and there are lots of compilers (and used to be more).

What's strange? Yours got no comments, so another attempt seems okay. It's pretty random what gets to the front page when.

It's not for street cred, it's what makes it usable everywhere: Rust, JavaScript (server or browser), Python, Kotlin, Swift, C. Written in JavaScript or Python means limited use, Kotlin or Swift means it could be tricky outside their main platforms, C means worrying about potential vulnerabilities and core dumps. I.e. "written in Rust" is definitely relevant here.

Please consider putting the first paragraph of [1], "iroh is a modular networking stack written in Rust. It provides the building blocks to create applications that can communicate using fast, cheap, and reliable connections.", at the top of the blog post and the main website. The middle two lines of [2] are good as a follow-up.

The current stuff about dialling is pretty incomprehensible, as shown by the many confused comments here. No one "dials" IP addresses (or keys), and no one wants to, so the word "dial" shouldn't be part of the title or description. The word "key" would be better not mentioned until you start talking about implementation, and the brief high level "what it is" and "what it is for" stuff should come before implementation.

Iroh seems quite relevant to some projects of mine, but after reading the blog post and the main page, I still had no idea of that relevance until I had read over a hundred comments here (many of them confused about what Iroh was).

How will that help your computer behind your NAT communicate with my computer behind my NAT? (I think you're still stuck on the blog post's very confusing opening, which does indeed make it sound like a terrible alternative to DNS, but it's actually something entirely different, for a very different purpose.)

> These days all he does is hold the copyright

You mean trademark. The copyright is held by the authors of the code (or their employer, etc.), since there is no copyright assignment requirement.

This is similar to how Linus Torvalds owns the "Linux" trademark (in some jurisdictions), but the copyright mostly belongs to other contributors.

It doesn't say anything about launch location, and you'd need to ship it out there from a country using a large (registered) boat. That loophole won't work.

The Outer Space Treaty [1] says "A State Party to the Treaty on whose registry an object launched into outer space is carried shall retain jurisdiction and control over such object", so no escaping jurisdiction.

Yes, I expect the problem is in this summarisation of the research, not the research itself.

That statement seems totally empty and could be true even if those 12 months in 2024-25 were cooler. 10% of days in 1991-2020 were hotter than 90% of days in 1991-2020, which is on average 36.5 days in a 12 month period.

They keep it as long as they want.

Just double tap the text you want to zoom to, as has been the way for nearly 20 years.

They walked that back, and now tell you they're downgrading the model: https://www.wired.com/story/anthropic-responds-to-backlash-o..., https://archive.is/yxYhU

Click the "n comments" link, like you must have done to post this comment?

Then I think you are the confused one, as they mean the same thing but one is US and one is UK+NZ+etc.: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/sceptic#English

No, I'm talking about VGA. Super VGA is where it got more complicated, with its many variations, higher resolutions, and higher bit depths.

Yes, it's weird that they're so old.

Graphics programming in the early to mid 1990s was pretty fun: write pixel data into the memory-mapped video RAM and it appears on the screen! A pointer to 0xA0000 was all you needed - no API or anything. The reason for the non-square-pixel 320×200 VGA mode they mention was that the video buffer took 64000 bytes, which fit into a 16-bit segment, making addressing it easy in 16-bit code/CPUs.

The Wheel of Time is 4.3M words: https://www.reddit.com/r/WoT/comments/zs1ust/chart_of_wot_wo.... Some of its individual books are near 400k.

Why not both? They partner with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, etc.

For me in Firefox Android, rotating the globe scrolls the page at the same time, so it's pretty hard to use.

SciPy can calculate spherical Voronoi diagrams, and MatPlotLib can display them with map projections. I haven't tried to display them as a rotatable globe, but years ago I did it in 2D for volcanos: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21301942, https://imgur.com/closest-volcano-lsxjRXP (argh, Imgur has gotten really aggressive with autoplaying unrelated videos - at least they're silent).

No, being commercial prevents that. SymEngine is much more like that, and shares developers with SymPy: https://github.com/symengine/symengine, https://symengine.org/.

It's certainly exciting for theorists who predicted its impossibility, and exciting for any other theorists interested, whether they trusted or doubted the theoretical results.
