The breakthrough isn’t things moving faster but more fibers per cable.
No, it's actually more cores per fiber, and using those very well for space division multiplexing on top of the normal wavelength division multiplexing. They are talking about 22.9 Pb/s per fiber, not cable, the Tom's Hardware article is just wrong.
Cables can already contain hundreds of fibers, for example 576 here or into the thousands if you use stacks of ribbon cables in the subunits, for example 3456 here
Sounds like low trust society issues to be honest. I only see those systems expanding in Switzerland, and they never use annoying scales or complain about unexpected items, because there aren't even any sensors for that.
It's weird, this is presented as new, but I had adblock on Firefox on Android from the start.
That and flash support were two of the major reasons for using Firefox on Android in the first place. This was back around 2010, when most porn sites still used flash players for video. Then flash died, that was fine. Then at some point Mozilla reduced the available extensions a lot, but at least some adblocker was still available.
Here in Switzerland the question you ask is usually, "do you ski or do you snowboard"? It's just assumed that you can do at least one.
I think that the ones who revolted against their preparatory enshittification aren't Reddit users anymore (hence why I'm here), and the ones who didn't revolt won't do it now either.
600 $ for a card without 16 GB of VRAM is a big ask. I think getting a RX 7800 XT for 500 $ will serve you well for a longer time.
The comparisons in the article are boneheded.
According to Statcounter, the worldwide Windows version desktop market share puts Windows 10 at 71.64 percent, with Windows 11 trailing at 23.61 percent.
To put that in context, Windows 11 was launched two years ago today. Windows 10 was launched in 2015 and took two years to reach the same market share as the then-dominant player, Windows 7.
Comparing the numbers of the move from 7 to 10 to that from 10 to 11 ignores that whole shitshow with 8.0 and the correction of 8.1.
Of course it's easier for 10 to dethrone 7 when there is the spoiler effect of 8 and 8.1!
Just a small note, it's written dB, small "d", big "B".
"B" is the unit symbol for bel and "d" is the symbol for the SI prefix deci, a tenth.
Yes, but a heat pump for heating is somwhere from 200% to 500% efficient.
Don't downvote this guy. He's mostly right. Creative works have copyright protections from the moment they are created. The relevant question is indeed if they have the relevant permissions for their use, not wether it had protections in the first place.
Maybe some surveillance camera footage is not sufficiently creative to get protections, but that's hardly going to be good for machine reinforcement learning.
I'm a bit of a fan of Okular. It just does a good job displaying PDFs and is not annoying. The table of content works well if the document has one. There is text select and block select for when you need to get content out of the PDF. You can tell Okular to ignore DRM with a simple checkbox in the settings, for files that "don't allow" selecting and copying text or "don't allow" printing.
87% of teenagers use Apple
Do you mean US American teenagers, or North American teenagers, or who exactly? Surely that can't be global?
Wow the SEO world is really sick
Wow the explanation of how they reverse engineered their way to pixel atomics was super interesting!
The financial types are generally more interested in hollow core fiber, to get their latencies even further down for high frequency trading. Because light travels at almost c in hollow core but only at 2/3 c in fiber core.
The Systems group at ETH Zürich where I studied had their own operating system, called Barrelfish because apparently making an OS is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel to these crazy people (this is meant positively, I hold them in high esteem). Side note they also made their own computer called Enzian. The combination of both is intended to allow them to do research off the beaten path with some different core design choices.
And we built our own student versions of barrelfish-like OSes during a course, if I recall correctly we only used their boot code to get the ARM cores on the Pandaboards up and running, then everything else was individual per group of four. We all had a lot of fun with our very individual memory management bugs, filesystem bugs, shell bugs, capability bugs and so on :-)
PS: There is also Redox OS where some people wrote an OS completely in Rust.
Of course he doesn't want that, he strengthened Hamas specifically so there would be no single clear entity in the PNA with which he would have to negotiate for a two state solution. Except he underestimated Hamas and they became too strong. I don't understand what his current theory of victory is though... annexing Gaza?
The content isn't anything to write home about. I don't really get it.
It's not about the server being strong or weak. Good server is the one you associate with your own projects and hobby, bad server is the one you associate with work and oblications :-)
That seems weird, it's called mother of all breaches, but isn't the result of any one breach. It's just data collection from ordinary breaches with perhaps some credential stuffing in the mix.
To me that whole royalties spiel was always just marketing to bait non-technical people into adopting the NFT system.
I've never seen anyone build and use an enforcable mechanism for a multi transaction chain to pay out to one original address repeatedly. I think at the very least you would always have to hold the NFT in a multi sig wallet between the artist and the current owner, for the artist to have a mechanism to keep enforcing their royalty claims. That would also require involvement of the artist in every further transaction.
Maybe I'm missing something like a smart contract that can fabricate new multi sig transactions on demand with pre-approval of the artist somehow... If anyone knows of something like that I'd be interested in the technical details.
Ha, the image description just says "An AI-generated woman found on CivitAI" even though that's clearly the character Power from Chainsaw Man.
And why isn’t “a male” just as bad?
It is.
And what’s intrinsically wrong about those two as a noun?
Because you're reducing people to their characteristics of identity.
Why is it ok to call someone “a fire fighter“, “a journalist”, and not “a female”?
Because those are characteristics of their chosen functions.
It seems pretty easy to me, and I'm not even a native speaker.
Thank you!
That was the point of the article, it doesn't do the trick anymore, bloatware is now part of the default install.
Yes, especially since the delivery report is generated by the SMCS, not the end device.
I don't think that term really applies here. It's not like the barrier to entry for a webservice hosting game modification data is all that high. It's very different from the railway, waterworks and power grid markets.
Also there are at least the competitors Loverslab, Curseforge, ModMD and Modrinth from the top of my head.
Click the first link in the article, in the older post they talk about their stboot bootloader. It does what you suspect, loads the OS image from a different computer which has signed base images.
If there was no DRM we wouldn't need to trust anyone to undo it.
Or if that emergency release of the DRM was a contractual guarantee we had at point of purchase, we'd also need less trust.
The way you use "PC" as a synonym for "Windows" proves that you are indeed a long term Mac user.
If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I'd ever go in.
I just don’t buy this twice as efficient bullshit.
Do you understand how heat pumps work? The heat you're drawing on is the the heat of the outside compartment on the outside, therefore the heat moved to the inside can be more than just the heat equivalent of the electric energy you put in. That's how these achieve more than 100% efficiency, in general. In fact if the outside isn't so cold outside they can achieve 300%-500%.
Now the trick to moving heat from a cold outside compartment to a warmer inside compartment lies in the compression. If you draw even a moderate amount of heat energy into your medium, then compress it, it will turn quite hot allowing you to dump heat into your warm inside compartment. Then as the medium flows out you let it expand and it turns really cold, cold enough that it can draw in heat from the cold outside. But the lower the difference in temperature of the outside air to your expanded medium gets the less heat you can transport per unit of time, that's why we're only looking at 200% here.
Swiss Post did that too, you used to be able to buy "stamps" (well codes you would write on the envelope serving the same function as stamps) over plain old SMS. They they stopped that since they have that new whatever service. That service works on a PC browser, but on the phone browser the function is not available, no there you need the app. For fucking no reason at all.
I'm more confused now than before. I always knew what b, g, n and ac were, but now when people say Wifi 5 or Wifi 6 I don't know which of the standards it corresponds to.
This is officially the worst argument yet. Who cares about what some fake god thinks, we have to deal with our own very real issues around power generation and anthropogenic climate change.
Wrong country, dude
That's a good policy. As long as the right people are still around to enforce it, it's a little reassuring.
70 out of 6000 is more than 1%, not 0.01%
The internet isn't worse, it's just the web. The Internet is much better actually:
There are more subsea cables with more capacity, the Internet is meshed better these days. Losing any single subsea cable doesn't have as much of an impact as it used to.
Additionally you don't need to cache stuff with reverse proxies in each AS anymore because long distance transmission has gotten way cheaper, and more available.
The last mile issues are also solved, though for now only in densly populated areas in advanced economies. With fiber connections to individual dwellings you get scaling that's infinite for practical purposes. This also means you can have a gigabit connection end to end without bloating buffers on DSL or DOCSIS modems.
For really useless call centers this makes sense.
I have no doubt that a ML chatbot is perfectly capable of being as useless as an untrained human first level supporter with a language barrier.
And the dude in the article basically admits that's what his call center was like:
So evidently good support outcomes were never the goal.
