  • How do you feel about Flatpak? Do you like having universal packages separated from the operating system, or do you regret how much space they take?

    Jump

  • I've used them before, and they work aside from a lack of integration with other programs. Same as any other isolation system (like Snap).

    My main problem is a lack of digital signatures on the packages. Deb, RPM, everything else is digitally signed, and has been for a long time. Flatpaks should be signed too.

  • 2³² will get interesting...

  • Yes. But it keeps going forever, and eventually some chaotic-evil person will kill choose to kill 2^43 people, which is a thousand times the world's population.

  • I see loss, I downvote.

  • If any cops or cop apologists wanna disagree with this: show me a good cop who arrested an ICE. Because ICE is breaking the law, and as far as I can tell, nobody's arresting them.

  • China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs

  • They used to use analog computers to solve differential equations, back when every transistor was expensive (relays and tubes even more so) and clock rates were measured in kilohertz. There's no practical purpose for them now.

    In cases of number theory, and RSA cryptography, you need even more precision. They combine multiple integers together to get 4096-bit precision.

    If you're asking about the 24-bit ADC, I think that's usually high-end audio recording.

  • Can I go into exile?

  • The maximum theoretical precision of an analog computer is limited by the charge of an electron, 10-19 coulombs. A normal analog computer runs at a few milliamps, for a second max. So a max theoretical precision of 1016, or 53 bits. This is the same as a double precision (64-bit) float. I believe 80-bit floats are standard in desktop computers.

    In practice, just getting a good 24-bit ADC is expensive, and 12-bit or 16-bit ADCs are way more common. Analog computers aren't solving anything that can't be done faster by digitally simulating an analog computer.

  • Rednote is a proprietary app-only non-federated social network subject to the censorship of a totalitarian government, China. It blocks discussion of 6/4, Free Hong Kong, Uyghur genocide, and probably all the other stuff normally censored in China. I encourage any skeptics to visit the Chinese Wikipedia from within China.

    Something odd happened on Reddit today..

    Jump

  • The simplest explanation is that OP doesn't have good opsec, and got a few tracking cookies after deleting cookies, before setting up their proxy/VPN. Then, on the VPN, the advertiser recognized their VPN IP address, and chose to exclude that from generating location data, deferring instead to the location indicated in their existing tracking cookies.

    Privacy is hard. The system is rigged against privacy. You have to do everything perfectly, because one simple mistake could leak your IP address.

  • No person should have to pledge loyalty to the party to graduate. I don't think you could sue for this in China. The party controls everything.
