Let's see how software people feel when it becomes routine to AI wash projects to de-license them.

I'd be very curious what project you have for which IPFS is a good solution.

It's for mapped I/O primarily.

Then what good is it?

Quic is not suited for satellite communications. There are good custom protocols though that are FEC heavy.

It’s only not going down if the content is actually present in such nodes. It’s not.

Caches solve this placement problem just fine today and content addressing does not alleviate the placement problem at all. Reality is the space thing is just part of the usual crypto grift narrative building.

IMHO yes. Objectively, those people are normalizing performance-enhancing drugs and the usual vicious cycle that goes with it. Less objectively, they also tend to be the typically soul-less nerds who have made the technology industry so mal

Dan Olson covers NFTs very solidly in "Decentraland is a dead mall" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiZhdpLXZ8Q ) and "Line Goes Up" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ_xWvX1n9g ). B

2C-B is one of the few drugs on my "want to try" list. I imagine I won't see a reliably uncontaminated version in my lifetime though.

I had the same experience, minus MDMA (never had the chance) and the racism stuff. Completely changed my mental shape at age 47 when I tried mushrooms for the first time (also my first psychedelic). Not a do-frequently thing but genuinely m

You'd probably get one anyway due to that receptor activation.

Looking at demonstrations and on-the-ground displays of these mechanisms leaves me absolutely in awe and terror. I really can't imagine putting my life in the hands of the thrust vectoring mechanisms. It's really something. They&#

Look, all sentences in any language implicitly start with or end with the words: "For now." The sooner you incorporate that into your beliefs, the better off you will be. It isn't about "trust." Trust is conditional

You say that, and then an army of idiots out in the real world continues to use floats for financial data and other large integers. I ran into a site that broke because they were using 64b unix nanotime in Javascript and comparing values wh

They seem to be pretty represented in TOP500 with Slingshot. Shame if it is dead.

I've wondered about these - why don't they do the same split that HVAC pumps use? It seems really bizarre as a design. Components would also mean replacing the tank would be more cost effective and circuit routing would be easier.

The Zenith Z100 series, Dec Rainbow, and Epson QX-10+ would have been interesting to include. There was a very, very rich set of non-IBMPC MSDOS machines in the period. IIRC MS-DOS early on included tools written in a variant of Forth so th

How will we ever find something that sucks less if we aren't honest about the downsides of our current model of capitalism? I don't need to show you something proven to be better to ask that question unless you have some kind of c

Fabulously, not as many. HP, Intel, Sun, SGI, Microsoft, Cisco, ... I mean all of these did leave people fabulously rich. So I'm not sure what you're talking about unless you mean the ZIRP IPOs of scam companies we've seen in

Workers in the valley have been making real money in the startup lottery (not fabulous wealth but real money in the retire-by-50 sense) since Intel and HP were formed in the very early 1970s; let alone Microsoft, Sun, SGI and others in the

No.

This is because almost all of the critical EUV tech was developed by the US DOE and a US industry consortium plus a US valley company called Cymer and was transferred to ASML as a political move that excluded the Japanese companies in the s

Cymer was not "proto-tech."

Wow you are right. That's crazy, I actually had to learn BCPL because early AmigaDos still had a lot of BCPL content and I seem to have forgotten. Thanks for the correction.

HN is not actually good at programming and CS, either.

It's an alternate timeline, basically. Had Inmos not fallen off a cliff after the T800 with a wicked case of second system syndrome (I know that the T9k wasn't their second system, but it has all the hallmarks) things might have g
