Sometimes, I wonder, what if Jim Keller decided to take on RISC-V and delivered an open source implementation, which is as good as current x86 or ARM hardware. People / companies would move swiftly I guess.

Something is so beautiful about this video. Totally awe....

No navier-Stocks equation? or is it in there with a different name.

This is also my suspicion. Further, since ALL the GPUs are being eaten up by crypto miners, people are calling it Unpresented demand. As for when It shall end? My take is when Ethernum switches to Proof of Stake model. By keeping the switch 6 months away forever, they hare in a way hindering the creation of ASIC miners, forcing everyone to use GPUs..... Once all those crypto GUPs reinter the gaming market, half the computer side supply problems would be gone.

Slightly tangent: Indian government has mandated all ISPs to upgrade all customers as IPv6 compatible by 31st December 2022. So India will be 100% IPv6 compatible by end of the year.

Once that happens, I wouldn't be surprised if IPv4 is deprecated along with 2G.

As I understand, it’s complete open source. So what is preventing a couple of miners to team up and change some integer to say year 2100 & recompile and distribute?

The moment I saw the diagram text "Seismic moment connection with Fuses", I knew it was not meant to last 1000 year. The moment you introduce seismic fuses, you need active Repair post a large earthquake. This is like expecting to keep repairing every few years and claim Life.

My first though reading the title was, you need to build it with STONE. So was "Taj Mahal" and many other religious structure lasting LONG years.

De-addiction of Tech News sites. Feeling like I consume too much time reading news, and too little doing on my side projects. Time to reverse it. i.e. more focus on shipping something.

India has mandated IPv6 for all existing or new internet connection by Dec 2022.

TLDR: All government services to be on IPv6 by 30 June 2022. All new consumer connections must have IPv6 after 31st Dec 2022. All existing consumer CPE must be upgraded to support IPv6 by Dec 2022.

I was eagerly awaiting this regulatory intervention. Glad to see it coming soon.

Ahh, well one of the large fertiliser plant coming online soon in India.

Disclosure: My company has 26% stake in this.

I imagine, one day when we finally break the factoring problem, we are going to have a bunch of these prime. This is one of the things I prat to see in my remaining lifetime.

I am of the opinion that the whole "Reader apps" concept itself was brought in to selectively please big and important players. The ones whose absence would diminish the value of iPhone. Indie developer's can't be expected to get same treatment.

>>>>for non-old-timers, it was fairly common back in the day for magazines to publish code printouts, that users would then type in by hand to run on their computers<<<<

Yea, HTML/Javascript code in the newspaper for me. Too bad, I had to do the running of the code in my head only.

Meanwhile my internet connection is 40mbps

This is a necessary trade off between the probability of extreme high intensity earthquake and economy of structural design. That is why we civil engineers call buildings “earthquake resistant” instead of “earthquake proof”.

This problem is almost solved by UPI payment service in India. All payments need manual approval. Credit/Debit card not required to be added here. Apple was forced to add UPI payment because that’s what people use here. I will trade the payment safety anytime over whatever convenience credit cards offer for auto debit recurring transactions.

There must be a redundancy of minimum 2 independent cables though. Can’t risk losing power with any single fault event.

So in the end, Widevine complexity won. For now. I have always thought that obfuscation is easier to undo. It is the underlying MATH which is difficult. The best anti-cheat are Math heavy than the instruction trickery. Though both are present simultaneously.

WinRar 40 day trial, It is.

If not possible to cap price, starting with the capacity limiter on S3 and bandwidth limit at VPC level would do.

The possibility that someone flood the server even for static resources causing bandwidth spiked Bill is scary.

Game over

1 is non-prime by definition.

You correctly sorted 17 numbers.

Meanwhile Twitch has locked in many of the creators with 24 Hrs platform exclusivity. High viewership count twitch streamers are not going to risk their twitch partnership status because Facebook is offering some subsidy.

Let us not forget, rules were formulated in 2018. Planned to be implemented by Dec 2018. Companies kept requesting extension of deadline. Finally RBI had enough. They have been given substantial time. At this point, non-compliance simply means un-willingness. Whether for political or technical reason.

It is not a surprise-everyone move. Indian central bank is following consistent long term policy. I feel overall it is good.

I blogged about myself-8-year-old memory when I was 17 (Year 2006).

TLDR was >>> The only way of becoming a king is to learn more and more MATHS. I associated Kings with some sort of personality who is very-very good at maths , whose question no one can solve in his empire except him . <<< :D

It’s a US thing I believe . In india, I don’t need to obtain any license to sign my Structural Engineering drawings. In my organisation, EIL, a public sector EPC enterprise under Government of India, you become signing authority on drawings with approx 15 years of experience. Thats it. For expert witness in courts, I have heard only Collage Professors considered.

A perspective from a non-CS engineer.

Don't intend to undermine the progress being made. Nevertheless here I am, migrating my dot net core 3.0 application back to Dot Net Framework 4.5.1 because I need my applications to run in all those Windows 8.1 (enterprise-internal) PCs without needing admin privileges to install dot net runtime. Since 4.5.1 runtime comes pre-installed with Win 8.1. So that is the version I target for all my new inhouse civil-engineering applications. There isn't much point bloating the application by 80+ MB just to make it self contained executable of dot net core version. After all, I need civil engineering to speedup, not fighting latest framework versions.

Ever since cererus-1 launched, I have been dreaming of Either Intel or AMD going full-on wafer scale research. All the individual university departments gonna love their own Million Doller personal super-computer. Even business who can't afford the super computers would want one if Wafer Scale makes it affordable.

I guess only inertia is stopping them from going full scale on wafer scale.

Buying integrated graphics CPU because discrete GPUs are impossible to find. THIS. is my pain too right now. Can’t wait for the Crypto bubble to burst.

twitch.tv Too.
