GPS modules need to be put in a special stationary mode (and ideally measured-in to a location for a day or two) to get accurate timing. I'm consistently achieving ca. 10ns of deviation. Hope the author didn't forget this. (But it

NTP fundamentally cannot reach the same accuracy as PTP because Ethernet switches introduce jitter due to queueing delays and can report that in PTP but not NTP.

This was the last drip in an almost-full bucket for me & I finally made the jump to "disable" YouTube on my phone. And, honestly, my mental health improved a bit. Rarely still pull up YT on laptop, but that's a different

As an IETF contributor (not on MLS): every time I (or we, really) think we made things clear enough even for the poorest reader, someone pops up with even worse reading comprehension. (And then the smart people complain about the wordiness.

A physical server can use all the same mechanisms a VM in a cloud can use (worst case put your stuff in a single "confidential" VM), but can also rely on physical control of the machine. But there is no longer a 3rd party cloud op

Sure, doesn't change anything though; you still need to spend energy on a bunch of hash calculations.

I neither understand where the HN title line is coming from, nor what this report is trying to tell me. AI is introducing high severity bugs rather than low severity ones? That's… bad? Is this based on actual reports, or it's own

TFA — and most comments here — seem to completely miss what I thought was the main point of Anubis: it counters the crawler's "identity scattering"/sybil'ing/parallel crawling. Any access will fall into either

That's besides my point, which is why I said "structure, not just expression". It could've used a struct rather than wedging tags into a double's first byte and still be 99 lines.

Holy cow this is —structurally, not just expression— some of the worst C code I have ever seen, with the abuse of the 'double' type, 'T' cast that looks like a declaration, endian dependency, and strict aliasing violatio

I find it incredibly hard to believe a 2% debugging share in any scenario. Considering this is an ad post for Floustate, I have serious reservations about these numbers.

I mean, yeah, sure, but how is it a sensible fix for that to change the hard-/firmware rather than to fix those programs?

I can't help but notice nothing you're arguing is in relation to which part of the system should be doing the mapping from abstract keys to actual letters. As such I don't see anything to engage with… (It's also a bit s

Yes, that was the implication, but I've been getting the impression that using baud is kinda unpopular compared to using sym/s.

by eqvinox 1y ago
I'd highly advise against using GHz here (without further context, at least), a 32Gbaud / 32Gsym/s NRZ signal toggling at full rate is only a 16GHz square wave. baud seems out of fashion, sym/s is pretty clear & unam

Yes, but the question is, is transit over exchange better/cheaper than buying a crossconnect? Worst case you've just introduced another dependency that costs money and adds complexity. If you're on an IXP, you're alread
