Well, downloading 1GB of updates, or a 15GB dataset is a pretty common occurrence.

Not even 802.11ac, and of course no 802.11ax or more recent modes. (802.11ac appeared in 2013). This means that you get about 2 MB/s from it, which makes it completely unusable in 2024. Ah, even 802.11n is not supported! This is a 2009

When I was writing electronic trading systems, I experimented with audio logging for different types of fills / cancellations / other trading events. It was useful, but somewhat annoying. I disabled it later.

Well, “high-quality network stack” includes wifi, and wifi includes 802.11ax, and there is basically no modern wifi at all on FreeBSD, so… (I understand that it is mostly a server OS, and usually there is no wifi on servers, but still). Tha

I’ll get back to FreeBSD when the most popular wifi card by a wide margin (iwlwifi, Intel AX200/AX2xx) will start working. That’s a shame, FreeBSD was long known for quality networking, and now what?

I speak as a Russian. In the US, you have your own protestors for those issues, which I am not qualified to discuss.

If you want to write with a permanent ink today that would still be there after a few hundred years, what would be your best choice?

Except when the names are in non-Latin script and therefore sorted arbitrarily.

Enriching own uranium is an interesting project. I prefer nuclear simulations, but same vibes.

Well, many (if not most) exit nodes are ran by three-letter agencies, so at least there is some infrastructure in place.

There are many many cases when you can’t determine user’s language by location only (immigrants, VPNs, business trips, multinational corporations, countries where people speak multiple languages, etc). If you do any effort in localization,

Some time ago, you promised to release the weights for Phind-70B. Do you still plan to do this?

I think there are already decompilers and code analyzers at NSA like this. For 10 years or so.

Yes, this amount of work costs about $1697. Perhaps more, with corporate overhead included. This is why they suggest replacement parts.

Sure, this is why you won’t be offered a permanent position (say, in France). Too much hassle. Much easier for them to hire you as an unprotected contractor.

I studied my rights carefully. The country in question is Switzerland, which isn’t exactly pro-immigration.

I am 42 and married, living in Europe. Since I am an immigrant and don’t have access to most of local safety nets anyway, I much prefer working for higher-paying US companies as a contractor.

by atemerev 2y ago
Well, all these laws are applicable for privileged natives. If you are an immigrant, even from the US or other first-world country, good luck — you’ll be given contractor arrangements and fixed-term positions, still with low compensations.

If you observe the activity on blockchains, there are occasionally billion dollar-class transfers visible. Nobody knows who is behind them.

Regulations are not always a force of good to be observed all the time, particularly in non-democratic countries.

by atemerev 2y ago
Easier said than done. With crypto, you can move a billion dollars in 15 minutes to anywhere in the world for like $15, without giving away either source or destination. To do this, you need to send about 250 bytes of information to any nod

Just get any recent database leak for that on any of the numerous sites trading breaches / leaks. Voice samples can be useful for scammers of course, but the victim needs to be rich enough to justify the attack (and it is easy enough t

Security by irrelevance. On paper, that’s a catastrophe. In practice, however, even criminals won’t extract much value from these random logs and video records.
