But knowing still gives you an advantage, even if you can't use it legally -- because you can still use it illegally. LEO and Prosecutors will use "parallel construction" to construct a narrative about how information was obt

If you can find a quantum computing solution it's at worst O(sqrt(n)). There still seems to be a time factor, if not energy factor to computation. Shor's algorithm for factoring prime numbers is at best O(log(n)^2 * log(log(n)))

If you're the NSA, you can tell Amazon, "Hey here's $1B. You're going to get some fiber outages, and we're also going to buy a bunch of compute from you at an exorbitantly high price you'll charge us. It&#x27

I can tell you that being on it, food to me just tastes different. So even if you didn't enjoy it, what typically happens to me anyway, is the off flavors get magnified. Like the easiest one is Costco Chili. It tasted vastly different

Awesome. I'm glad you said, "I". My argument is that my carb intake is irrelevant compared to nuclear proliferation. My argument goes like this. Carb intake does probably lower life significantly, but doesn't lead to p

I completely disagree with you, as is my right. And you can disagree with me, and that's okay. I absolutely, truly believe nuclear proliferation is more dangerous than carbs. Fight me. The problem with your argument are the words, &

10M sounds like a nice executive bonus. I'm not saying it's a bribe -- I would never, ever do that.

Some people say it's an "off-label" use -- but that's up to the doctor and patient ultimately. But I think that's okay -- because the main purpose is weight loss and reduction of caloric cravings. Alcohol is a calo

If you think it's important for you, awesome. I personally think nuclear proliferation is a more important issue for the world than if I lose weight or not. And that's okay for me, and it should be okay for you, too.

Here's a stark warning about diet and exercise: "90% of people who lose weight will likely regain it back." https://www.michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/weighing-facts-t... Weight loss is easier than kee

virtualenvs are great, but they're not great on their own. requirements.txt work sorta, but then any package with more than 50 requirements requires a non-trivial amount of manual labor to maintain. (Hell even 20 deps are a pain) Ast

I had a casio calculator back in the 1980's that did fractions. So when I punched in 1/3 it was exactly 1/3.

There's been a movement away from requirements.txt towards pyproject.toml. And commands like "uv add" and "uv install" take most of the pain of initializing and maintaining those dependencies.

UV uses venv underneath.

I'm pretty sure that the US is a high priority intelligence target for Israel. But then any of the big nations should be. Russia, US, China, etc.

Even though Israel is our "Ally" -- we really shouldn't trust a foreign company with our sensitive messaging. If you're in the government, you should treat Hegseth and anyone who uses Signal and TMSIGNL as compromised.

Don't forget there were lots of things that are in standard libraries now that didn't use to exist back when I was coding in C in the 1990's. Nobody really writes their own sorting algorithm anymore -- and nobody should writ

Depends mostly upon what you're doing. Having done go and python in jetbrains and vscode, I definitely enjoy the experience in jetbrains more. A lot of java people like IntelliJ for their Java and Kotlin support. OTOH, copilot has bee

Tesla is having a Wile E. Coyote moment. That's when the company has walked off the cliff but the market hasn't responded to it yet. At this rate, Musk will lose every first mover advantage he had within a couple of years. Maybe

I think we agree with that part. I once thought software constraints were so hard a machine would never be able to program it. But on the other hand, there are tons of circuit boards designed day after day. If it was super hard, we'd

18ghz circuits were around since 1973 was the part that got me. Your response doesn't really add to the conversation so I'll stop here.

There's nothing new in EE under the sun. Hasn't been for 40 years really. EE's min/max a bunch of mathematical equations. There's a lot of them, but it's not nearly as difficult as people think it is. They

The big problem is kinda the same as what happens in push polls -- in that they ask misleading or suggestive questions trying to boil the issue down to a good and bad answer. The reality for many of these questions is pretty complex. I&#x27

What's weird about reading this post is that tailscale itself is over-engineered (at least on linux anyway). I was shocked to find the number of netfilter rules in place, all of which made the normal linux routing table useless. I thin

A couple of thoughts here: 1. Any government agency can assert anything they want, until a court strikes it down. 2. CBP/ICE don't just operate at the border (which is problematic). They are an arm of the government seizing peo

The previous version wasn't "flood" routing. Because flood routing would have worked better. I called it "spray and pray" routing. It was something like this: 1. Router repeats first 2. Weakest repeating device

Meshtastic's routing system (up until this last version), wasn't great. I haven't tried the latest version, because it's gonna need to take a while for people to update their firmwares. Also, a lot of nodes tend to floo
