alphabetag675··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
I do not consider language barrier at all a factor here.

Instead, I consider a lack of concentration due to too much stuff going on around to be a big factor.

The biggest problem when working with Indian offices is that their crew always has to deal with weird shit continuously that it would be extremely surprising for me to have someone fully concentrated on their work.

I do not understand this. Was the order secret for all this time?

Compared to something like openstack.
alphabetag675··on jj – the CLI for Jujutsu
Actually it is a anti-demo, because while software allows you to do it, I don't think many software engineers can work on this.
alphabetag675··on Nanny state discovers Linux, demands it check kids' IDs before booting
When we are installing docker repositories on my Rockylinux installation on 100 nodes at once, should we need to manually put an age of the person who is running the script somewhere in the process? Will docker be forced to prevent me from downloading its packages if I do not transmit the age in a header?

I wonder what you have to say about our new generation fertilizers and vaccines.

Will WebRTC be the one needed to be mandated?
alphabetag675··on I made my own Git
When you are learning, everything is important. I think it is okay to cut the person some slack regarding this.
alphabetag675··on Giving university exams in the age of chatbots
You are arguing the converse. Access to information doesn't make people educated, but lack of access definitely puts people at a big advantage. Chatbots are not just information, they are tools and using it needs training because they hallucinate.

They would fall behind in the world just like people from developing and poor countries do today.
alphabetag675··on Provenance Is the New Version Control
As long as your language is good enough to generate correct code at any point, it is a specification. If not, it is an ambiguous approximation.
alphabetag675··on Provenance Is the New Version Control
If you could regenerate some code from another code in a deterministic manner, then congrats you have developed a compiler and a high-level language.
alphabetag675··on Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri
Times New Roman was designed for a time when printing quality was not that good. With 1080p screen nowadays, that barrier is removed, so optimization of readability has different constraints.
alphabetag675··on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending on AI data centers will pay off
Cheap compute would be a boon for science research.
alphabetag675··on Why IP address truncation fails at anonymization
Such a long blog post about privacy failure due to correlation and no mention of things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-anonymity

Disappointing.

Sodium batteries are much better for environment. Sodium is everywhere.
alphabetag675··on Bcachefs removed from the mainline kernel
That's patently untrue. They do not remove stuff, they just keep changing the APi which means that the modules need to keep evolving.
alphabetag675··on Investigating a Forged PDF
Finally an explanation for the three copies. Always wondered about this, but somehow was too busy to look it up.
alphabetag675··on OpenAI and Nvidia announce partnership to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems
It's easy to see what it could be by looking at Green500.
alphabetag675··on OpenAI and Nvidia announce partnership to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems
Account for around 3MW for every 1000 GPUs. So, 10GW is around 333 * 10 * 3MW so 3.33 * 1k * 1k GPUs, so around 3.33 M GPUs
