There's actually a new (experimental) standard to do this, called L4S. It mandates that the high priority lane apps use a more responsive congestion control algorithm so that they build a much smaller queue (not just on average, avoidi

On dumb monitors, the EDID information is on a tiny flash chip. My previous employer accidentally shipped a monitor where we (actually our CM, which we failed to catch) failed to disable writes, so the computer could actually overwrite it.

You still need a source of entropy, which is easier for an OS. An app has to resort to the user moving the mouse or bashing keys, which is a worse UX, although I guess they did that for actual key generation (if PuTTY did that) but it would

You can look in the key file. From the OP: "has an id starting ecdsa-sha2-nistp521 in [...] the key file" He also mentions some other places the information shows up.

No, they are not that far behind. You're thinking of Longsoon I guess, but they have a 7nm process at SMIC and Hisilicon designing ARM-based server processors on it[1]. Sure, ARM is western, but guess what, they have the IP anyway, as

It's incorrect to say that they provide more value than they cost you. They cost most users more to leave than they cost to stay. That's not the same as providing that value, they've simply found a away to become a gateke

It isn't, because eventually the size of your logic or table becomes larger than the distance a signal can propagate in one clock tick. Before that, it likely presents practical issues (eg, is it worth dedicating that much silicon)

Yup, Linux was just patches and a sequence of tarballs. Another weird one is a distributed version control system over UUCP [1]. Although not distributed in the modern sense [1] O'Donovan, Brian, and Jane B. Grimson. "A distribute

IIUC there is a physical limit from thermodynamics in converting back, based on the temperature. So when efficiencies are quoted, it could be either the proportion of input energy retrieved, or the proportion of the theoretical max efficien

But if the pressure of hydrogen was the same as the partial pressure of hydrogen before, wouldn't it be the same? I mean, if the materials could stand that partial pressure, why wouldn't they be able to stand that pressure in the

In the UK, our gas infrastructure actually used to be used for hydrogen[1], so a lot of it should still work if we were to switch back. [1] Actually "town gas" which was a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide. But I imagine no

Well, that's a different proposition: I think that if you were to query you'd find that people who experience strong mental imagery have done so as long as they can remember, and don't have the experience of needing to develo

This is a classic, because Galton wrote "Statistics of Mental Imagery" in 1880, inventing survey research in the process, precisely because he found that the people he talked to about it strongly resisted believing that the spectr

This is a great summary. A huge loss, especially in the public arena, where the combination of vast expertise, academic authority, and the courage to speak truth to power is too rare. He was also a gifted communicator - both his lectures

Fair. I can't claim to know how to make it work better in the US. We have also other private infrastructure in the UK that's not working so well (like the water companies, which are not providing enough sewage processing capacity

No, because warranty law isn't the only law at play. If you take an action that damages other people's stuff, you are usually liable in civil law. That includes shipping something that damages their stuff.

Yeah, was wondering about that. Once you have to start extending the deck or mounting them on tugs the trade doesn't seem likely to be favourable.

So, they are saving 14% and expect to multiply that by 1.5 by having an additional wing. Is there any prospect of getting near 100%? Naively 15 wings would get there. From the image maybe 7 would fit on this ship without a redesign. Once it

Openai had a more distributable algorithm: https://openai.com/research/evolution-strategies But given that they don't seem to have worked on it since, I guess it wasn't too successful. But maybe there is a wa

I didn't know you were using that - that's actually a feature of B2 (and S3). IT works as far as I know (it does in S3). Assuming you switched it on on the bucket (not the default in S3! don't know about B2). The limitation i

Rclone is great, but I'd be wary about using a non-backup tool to do backups. You want something that makes it really clear when you are going to overwrite. if a file has changed, rclone is going to push the new version. A backup tool
