I would also say in the "what is it" part that projects intended for a broad audience should avoid jargon as much as possible. It's frustrating in my experience to have to google several acronyms before I can even tell what the purpose is. (Security projects/programs are notorious for using way too many acronyms for example)

Just for context, strings is super commonly used when reverse-engineering anything. It's a great first-step because it's easy, fast, and get's some decent clues to help you get your bearings in an unknown binary file.

I wasn't asking if there was a use for USB 3.1, I am already aware of how it's commonly used on routers (apart from the LTE fallback the other commenter mentioned. That's pretty cool). But even so, your comment didn't list a use for it. You listed uses for usb-c, most of which it seems that it's already capable of. It's not a big deal really, just clarifying.

It already has a usb-c connector. No need to patronize me.

It's designed to be a wireless router without a lot of extra fluff. If more lan ports are needed, add a switch behind it (though it'd probably be better to have the switch elsewhere unless it's a really simple network). The USB looks like it's used for admin tasks like updating firmware, so I don't see why they'd need to add more than USB2.0.

An actively used written script is not "legacy text". We're not talking about some ancient, dead language, but even if it was that, there's merit in being able to accurately display it digitally just from an academic standpoint of making historical research easier.

Agreed. I think a lot of native english devs don't realize just how much english permeates every aspect of software. Another post on HN talking about the process of digitizing Tibetan mentioned how line breaks aren't really a thing in that language. But of course, they're everywhere in software and required for things to even function. So many decisions are based on language that go beyond actual communication. It's kinda wild to think about.

One reason for the somewhat separate open source ecosystems that the author doesn't touch on is language. In my experience, the dev communities are already pretty separate simply because the languages are so different from each other. Japanese dev communities follow a similar pattern from what I know.

While I'm sure the geopolitical issues cause some division, I'd be willing to bet the main reason is much more fundamental and the two ecosystems just naturally developed separately.

Here's a Reuters article about it for those that can't access the Financial Times article: https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/o...

Really interesting puzzle. The author also has an update on the other packet types: https://darthnull.org/noise-storm-update/

What is "inaka or not"? A google search just pulls up an athletic clothing brand.

Of course the NSA (and arguably any topic) is more nuanced than internet discourse likes to admit. That said, they've done plenty to warrant people's paranoia of them and not a lot to dissuade it.

Are you really making a thinly-veiled argument for ethnostates? Careful, your racism is showing.

Society isn't an algorithm that should be optimized for max efficiency/productivity anyways. A completely unregulated market like you allude to is like an ouroboros. It will consume itself because unchecked growth is unsustainable.

I am curious what the author would think about LLM based AI like Neuro-sama (AI vtuber that streams on twitch). Different use-case than the llm's the author was "trolling", but much better at humor and more resilient to trolls than usual.

Do they really detect heart rate through pressure sensors? That seems like it'd have so much noise the data would be unusable. Edit: Looks like they couple it with some fancy statistical analysis to get accurate enough data. Interesting

The author's focus is on static-generated sites, so reader mode isn't super relevant since they don't have a bunch of junk to clean up in the first place.

Back in the day (late 90's to early 2000's), sites would have something called a webring where sites would link to similar sites in a circular fashion. It was a good way to find similar sites and kinda a fun adventure.

Well, the "treadmill" implies doing work that accomplishes nothing to me. If you get meaning from working a standard job, then that's great. Guess I misunderstood what y'all meant by the treadmill.

Right. I feel like people that say it's boring maybe aren't being creative enough. Do that project you've been wanting to do forever, travel, go camping, pick up a sport, play video games you missed out on, or just work part time at a place you actually enjoy. Being financially secure opens up a ton of possibilities.

I'm not familiar with what Helium would be used for on the capsule. Is it just used as compressed gas for the thrusters?

The article is about zinc porphyrin, not graphene. Graphene is just used for the electrodes that connect to the transistor. Besides, it's kinda silly to say anything will "always" be in the future. Tomorrow becomes yesterday faster than a lot of people care to admit.
