Comment Re: Signal (Score 1) 112

The "Apple device" users seem to struggle with Signal, instead preferring iMessage. Signal seems good enough for the purpose of encrypted comms on smartphones. Matrix is the long game, though outside of gaming and developer communities it's not as accessible for smooth-brained people that are attracted to "Apple devices".

I will never be able to grasp at why so many US American are so happy to have so few social net and protection as possible.

God is dead. Here comes Facebook and Baby Shark. You don't have a future. Oh by the way your grandparents are still alive to ridicule you about how much better it was "in the good old days" before the coloreds and mexicans took over; and they're living on subsistence payed for by tax dollars for a below-poverty wage job you don't even have yet.

P.S. Mom and Dad are anti-vax and homophobic but their hasn't been much good new music produced since their generation

Have a good life! Trust us, we're TikTok, we are the future, there is no such thing as privacy. Trust us, your data on our servers is safer with us than it is with you. Your life is not a life worth living keeping all of your interactions to your self.

P.P.S. You won't live to the age of your racist bigoted boomer grandparents anyways. The Earth will be an uninhabitable hellscape by then.

But it's really important for you to go to work and sit at a desk for 8 hours to do 45 minutes total of work for the day. That's the best use of the time you have.

How did the parent posting get modded down? It's true what they said, take a road trip through middle United States and the situation is drastically different than it is on the coasts. The mega churches are doing great, tho... tax free and all that; Billboard after billboard advertising to hopeless Americans saying salvation is just a donation-to-the-church away.

Note: I'm not on any of the political football teams this or that. Maybe we should tax the churches though.

Submission + - LLNL's NIF laser fusion lab is on the verge of achieving thermonuclear ignition. (pastebin.com) 2

deglr6328 writes: Switched on over a decade ago, the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Lab is a 2 megajoule, 500 terawatt ultraviolet laser designed to ignite a thermonuclear burn wave in compressed pellets of deuterium-tritium fuel which should produce more energy than was delivered to them by the laser itself. For years after beginning experiments, fusion yields languished at more than an order of magnitude lower than necessary to achieve ignition and far less than predicted to occur in supercomputer simulations; beleaguered by the same energy sapping hydrodynamic and laser-plasma instabilities that plagued smaller predecessor laser fusion machines from the 70s through 2000s.

In an email to lab employees and to several other ancillary external labs that work with LNNL in guiding its experiments, a true breakthrough has been announced. Last weekend, after a series of recent advancements in shot neutron yields resulting from new hohlraum and target designs, and new pulse shape and target layering alterations, NIF shot a target that produced a greater than 1 megajoule yield, a six-fold improvement over the previous highest yield shot and a four-fold greater energy release than the capsule itself absorbed. This achievement puts the device within immediate striking distance of its namesake — the first fusion ignition and burn experiment in a laboratory setting. Experiments scheduled for October are expected to cross that threshold proper for the first time in history.

Submission + - PCAPS a No Show at the Mike Lindell's Cybersecurity Symposium

Camel Pilot writes: Mike Lindell's Cybersecurity Symposium was advertised to release Packet Capture (PCAP) data to prove election fraud and Chinese manipulation of voting tabulation machines. He has offered a 5-million-dollar prize to anyone who can disprove his allegations of voter fraud based on the PCAP data.

Problem is, he hasn't released any PCAP data although he has a video running in an endless loop of what appears to be Hex dumps of text data in separate columns labeled for each State that was involved in 2020 election controversies. Questions have arisen how he could have obtained data for all these different States.

Cybersecurity expert Robert Graham has been attending and tweeting about his experience and has been careful to not post too much as other experts have been booted from the symposium for sharing too much of their opinions. At the end of the first day Graham was frustrated with the lack of data for him to analyze,

"To be clear: he gave us experts NOTHING today, except random garbage that wastes our time (e.g. a CSV needlessly encoded as RTF needlessly encoded as hex)"

Comment Re:Resort work (Score 1) 181

The hostel at Squaw Valley ski resort (in Tahoe) was the only way to exist on minimum wage and work for the resort.

That was years ago, the hostel was shuttered and the resort drilled a well in the employee parking lot so that they can build a mega resort hotel expansion.

How are they going to run the resort? (the management crowd begins to chant "J-1 visas... South American labor... Peruvians! Argentinians!")

Where are the foreign laborers going to live? (the foreigners are rich kids with careers and free education, they can afford to grease the wheels to get the ticket to work in USA and buy an iPhone for cheaper here.... they can afford some overpriced housing)

Where are the locals going to live? (What fucking locals? hahaha... let's gussy this place up and sell it to an even larger ski corporation)

Finding and freezing the assets of the oligarchy is incredibly effective. It is difficult for westerners to imagine how infuriating and embarrassing it is on the wealthy ruling class to find they have lost the thing that keeps them in power: Money. Also, there is a come-on effect when your peers fall out of favor as their money disappears you will fear for your own standing and use all your power and influence to prevent that outcome.

Comment Incremental step towards RISC-V general computing (Score 3, Informative) 42

The SiFive Unmatched includes enough add-on peripheral support so that the software infrastructure can get tooled up on some real hardware. The previous SiFive Unleashed (and corresponding expansion board) offering together were 4x the cost of what this newer board can do. It's not a cash grab by SiFive.

Keep in mind also that RISC-V has been here for the masses since 2-3 years ago. You have RISC-V cores embedded in various devices in your daily life, it is broadly being used as a general computing replacement for custom purpose-built ASIC cores in all manner of electronics products from hard drives to "smart appliances" to graphics cards and phone NVMe storage controllers. That is the true business of SiFive is to drive adoption of their intellectual property. Offering a developer board is standard operating procedure in this business. It would be weird if they didn't.
