On my 2017 macbook pro, the wifi drops completely when I plug in a usb3 external hard disk. The connection is still up but data doesn’t get through. And because the connection remains I have to manually switch to 5.5GHz

minor fyi. Had to look up how to get lat/long on an iphone without internet access. It’s in the default compass app.

At the onset of the Ukraine conflict, links like that would pop up in heated anti-Russia threads on Reddit. Maybe some can be found back on archive. This exploit has been out there for awhile and it makes you wonder why it hasn’t been plugged yet.

That second link … it’s depressing how a site about renewable _energy_ writes an article about cumulative _energy_ consumption but consistently fails to tell the difference between energy and power.

Ocean acidification & acid rain

It avoids actually solving the very lucrative pollution problem, so this is a prime candidate.

There's a youtube demo in the article.

There’s a documentary called “ watch the K foundation burn a million quid” well worth watching.

  This info is from December 2022, so by now I will assume something is already finished or in the final stages and possibly more plans have been made.

Ehr ... no. A fab takes about 3-5 years to build before you get "first silicon". The tail of that estimate depends on how easy you find skilled people.[1]

I still miss google code search. Someone know an alternative?

  while we catch up to other forms of dealing with our climate overheating.

Your approach is called "not having to deal with our climate overheating". Anything that fits in the "let's avoid it" bin is far more likely to happen.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but here's my take on global warming: We've spend decades terra-forming our planet in a very lucrative fashion. The only way to get out of this is if the solution is _more_ lucrative than the problem.

  a lot that can be critiqued about that period.

Like the time they appointed Will.I.Am?

Going to drop this here:

“Reverse engineering” a real candle

ah ok, I read it in the "I recommend" sense.

Why was the link changed? 3 hours ago it linked to this: https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2024/01/i-used-to-not-worr...

Now it links to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCo3XwTRg9o

  up to the UHF band and don’t think I’d want to go any higher in KiCad

Didn’t Michael Ossmann create the HackRF on Kicad?

Which is why animals at that scale develop techniques of very rapid flight instead of brute fight. That and poison. We would probably pour the resources into genetic engineering and biological warfare.

is this documented somewhere?

  As Cave’s letter articulates how foregoing the struggle of creation risks destroying the ‘collective, essential and unconscious human spirit’, his characteristically masterful writing combined with Fry’s powerful reading serve as a reminder of the value and vitality of human creativity.

Art is what comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable. It appears that Mr. Cave is very comfortable and wishes to keep progress from disturbing him.

This reminds me of something I heard archeologists discuss in the "Time Team" series I used to binge. I the UK, when the Roman Empire fell/collapsed, the populace didn't pick up and continue the Roman's tech (bath houses, currency, ...) but simply reverted to pre-roman tech of mud/wood/stone. They left the city to pick up farming again.

I'm surprised neither the article nor the comments here mention Adam Curtis, especially his "All watched over by machines of loving grace".

Thank you for taking the effort to look this up. The other commenters missed my intent but you picked it right out.

I'd like you to view this demo from 1974 that showcases the then current state of research in AI. Then reflect that the research presented in the link is 50 years later.

It isn't, unfortunately. Thanks for looking, though. The presentation I had was a powerpoint that focussed entirely on the disassembly and anti-debugging tricks, nothing about networking or traffic analysis.

When he talked about the inability to jump to certain places it reminded me of a powerpoint I read a decade or two back that discussed the disassembly of Skype. They used any and every trick in the book to make disassembly impossible, like calculating an int, feeding it to a cosine instruction and the result would be the jump distance. I tried finding the powerpoint but alas Google is garbage these days, maybe the author can find some hints in there to reduce the amount of code coming out of the compiler.

Wish I had come up with this compiler, great stuff.

565 MWh = 2 TJ

Fat Man was 88 TJ

The meaning is found in the combination of the name and verb in the title, afaik the first occurrence.

You need a very diverse community to address these subjects. HN is IT-centered, there’s overlap with a lot of fields and occasionally you’ll get a (few) people who are at home with the subject at hand to explain the subtle intricacies.

But this also relies on the size of the HN populations. Too many and the noise takes over, making it difficult or even frustrating to participate.

Stick to what you know and plough on.

Thank you very much for this tip.
