Who would benefit from disrupting Ubuntu sofrware updates? Seems related to the recently discovered kernel vulnerability. Some state-funded cybercrime unit needs a bit more time to infect your servers before you update them.

Wow, that was an intense self-diacovery.

They do use radioactive decay in archeology to measure time, but the precision is within a thousand years.

Never heard of such clock. You’ll also need to regularly recalibrate your radioactive sample, because it decreases in weight over time. And you need a Geiger counter to measure that radiation, which is also not super precise.

A regular crystal oscillator seems better.

Nope. Quantum events are random. A clock requires precise periodic events, it cannot use random noise.

Ok, so, someone used an LLM do create changes. This new code is no longer under the project license it is, as you say, public domain.

Except it is, depending on code similarity. The court uses the same rules as with book plagiarism. If LLM uses exactly same code structure and only renames some variables or adds pieces of code that do nothing useful, high chances the court will declare it a derived work and enforce the license.

IPv6 contains the entirety of IPv4 address space, four times (regular IPv4, Teredo, NAT64, and 6to4).

So you will still be able to connect to IPv4 internet perfectly fine, you’ll just use IPv6 socket for that.

Lightnovel will be fully translated in a year or two.

Although from volume 7 onwards the focus is less on Tanya and more on failing logistics of the Empire.

DNS is pronounced ‘hosts’ because it was originally one big text file.

MICROS~1

Well, my Raspberry Pi 5 works perfectly.

“New users” as you describe them don’t even know that the mouse wheel can be clicked at all. The only thing to be fixed is consistency with Ctrl-C clipboard.

Middle click was standard initially in Unix world, then Microsoft Office came with it’s Ctrl-C, and users now expect every text editor to support Ctrl-C to copy (and not abort the active command like all terminals do).

The problem with keyboard phones - the people buying keyboard phones want the price range of Nokia 3310.

Other than that, it looks good enough for a Blackberry replacement.

I’ve successfully used pyenv in the past, although uv claims that it includes all pyenv functions and more.

A real-world optical chip that you can actually buy is exciting. Still, seems to be far from a consumer-grade optical CPU. It’s more like a microcontroller, which you stick at the end of your 10 GBit fiber optic cable, and receive processed optic data.

Memory is going to be a big problem, because any AI workload requires a ton of it, and replacing even a simple 16 GB DRAM chip with an all-optic equivalent means you are essentially creating 16 GB of L1 CPU cache, which would be like 100 server CPUs stacked together, used only for their cache memory. And if you are using a conventional DRAM, you need to introduce optic-to-electric converter, which will be a speed bottleneck of your system, and probably expensive.

To summarize: new fancy code autocompletion tools will make useless junior devs even more useless, plus a regular amount of usual AI buzzword doomsaying.

The few people who actually used DeX for doing stuff are now religious about it.

Well, you have to commit into a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard and external display for it to be any useful.

Mine doesn’t. Seems like an aesthetic feature, since the pen is transparent.

If you can call CRISPR a known technology them yes. Like calling a combustion engine a known technology to develop a new car.
