Fuck that. Can we go back to the low power, high efficiency compute of the late 2010s plz?

Unfortunately GDP is more or less equivalent to the power a nation can project. So more GDP=Bigger stick. He knows this, so it feels like empty words from him now.

Imo we need to get rid of nations to move past this. Even getting rid of capitalism in isolation wouldn’t change anything.

You also see the international fallout of this in England and Norway. Maybe that was also a factor, back when the US might have cared about allies.

It works great for technical constructs. E.g. A Button is a UI element. But for anything business logic related, yeah it’ll suck.

I was intrigued by your response and found this blog post about the topic https://plus.maths.org/content/infinity-or-just-112. Without watching the video itself, I guess someone tried to rip-off numberphile and made something completely incorrect.

Me pondering the orb could lead to faster than light travel. It also could not do so instead.

Cloudflare’s business model is dealing with unethical and unlawful bots. They can pour money into the arms race with “AI” companies and win. If they can’t their service isn’t valuable.

If you want to say “Free Palestine”, you could say “Free Palestine”. “From the river to the sea” is also used by Israel and I bet I don’t have to convince you as hard that they aren’t talking about peaceful co-existance.

If your slogan implies genocide, as your example also does, yes it is hate speech. You cannot undo colonization by disposing the occupiers. Any nation is occupying some native land in one form or another.

Even FCAS is at its breaking point because France and Germany cannot agree. Merging the two would ensure that nothing is build in the end.

For many of these, WebAssembly is critical to either their entire product or a major feature.

But I think this alone is not very convincing. We don’t yet see major websites entirely built with webassembly-based frameworks.

Why should it be necessary to build things only in wasm for the web? JS is a really good language for building frontends. There is a reason why lots of companies prefer building native applications with React. People always complain about framework bloat with JS, but then we want to hype up shipping huge wasm binaries? Just for basic interaction in a UI?

Wasm is doing great, inside and outside the browser. But it won’t replace JS because there’s no reason to do so.

ARM is broadly available in Datacenters. It is usually much cheaper compare to x86. I assume that clocks and IPC are generally worse though.

THE ONLY THING I KNOW FOR REAL IS … that I gotta go fast

People like things you don’t, get over it

I got one of these therapy lights this year. I think it helps a bit. What I noticed most is that I wake up earlier than I usually would in Winter.

But be aware that you have to look into the bright light for 30 minutes every morning. And while you can do some stuff during that, it is kind of a chore. It also only works if you do it consistently. So it’s not like you turn on the light and feel great afterwards.

I got one from Beurer and have no complaints.

Beyond that, in reality you would write logger.info() in both 99% of the time.

Others mentioned good points but don’t really capture the scale or techniques. A high volume DDoS may even overwhelm the network equipment, so simply saturating the network with garbage traffic. On the smaller scale, a server has limited resources to handle connections. So in the most extreme case, you simple run out of memory to store all the incoming requests. More likely you exhaust a thread pool or run out of connection handles. This “breaks” the server as it may not have resources left to recover to a working state even after the attack has stopped.

As for techniques, DDoS don’t just spam genuine requests. Usually the requests are malformed to have the worst impact on the servers. For example you only send the connection request without completing the full handshake. Now the server has to wait until the connection times out which consumes resources for a potentially long time.

Ah yes, those expensive PC games. Much cheaper on console and on the first party stores of the publishers, yes yes.

Eh not really. Those are not some minimal wage employees that have no choice but to work for them. They are highly skilled and sought-after employees. Should companies be forced to employ people even when they do not need them? Sounds pretty silly to me. Instead just give everyone basic universal income and let them do something they choose.

I get your sentiment and I don’t really like Bending Spoons either. But the reality is that they buy somewhat failing business that have absurd costs that they cannot offset with their revenue. Most tech companies are way too large for the things they do. That’s how Bending Spoons succeed; because they can get the same or more revenue with a fraction of the man power.
