What people? I'm trained for LaTeX and markdown. Pandoc for conversions. Who are these people who only use software that can't track a heading number reliably?

RAID5 is at the disk level. What about files that lay around on USB sticks or cloud drives? Those need some FEC love too.

If it's not clear, the data reordering spreads block errors across many blocks, so long runs of errors turn into multiple individual bit errors that are handled efficiently by the code. The Golay part of the concatenated code mops up these. The RS part deals with larger blocks.

RS is well suited to this problem space. The overhead is a fixed percentage of the filespace. Error detection is computationally simple. Error correction uses more compute but it's only invoken when there is an error.

If you want reliable storage, using forward error correction is an entirely sensible thing to do. I have my own file level FEC using A concatenated Golay & RS with data reordering that I use on stuff I don't want to fall to bit rot. It's neither complicated nor computationally prohibitive.

I know the guy that invented MMX. I worked with him at Intel.
He was not a sales guy.
It grew into todays SIMD instructions which are pretty neat.

However MMX was a way to squeeze more performance out of existing registers, while today's AVX512 is a whole bucketload of extra logic.

With Multi Media eXtentions (MMX) the pics returned from this mission will be great.

I don't know how to code in Dart, but I've put a lot of sloppy dart code on github recently.

That's because while I've been coding for decades, I hate coding GUI libraries and I've not done much GUI as a result. The libraries are constantly changing and what you learned last year is out of date and you have to learn the next fashion statement library.

But AIs don't hate GUI code, so I've been making a bunch of GUI programs I wouldn't otherwise make.

Flutter is a quite good cross platform GUI library and you program it in Dart and the programs compile to MacOs, IOS, Android, Windows, Linux and Web. This works better than any other cross platform system I've used over the years. The on-ramp is short because Claude knows how to code for it.

So a load of command line and TUI programs of mine have sprouted out into full GUIs coded by AI. GUI programming seems to be mostly boilerplate and functions with tens of parameters, which AI is quite capable at.

The making core crypto and analysis algorithms that are my day to day thing is for now the domain of humans. AI has never seen it before and so it doesn't know how to do it.

My wife's brother became a policeman and turned from being a regular person into a judgemental prick with a bad attitude about hispanics.

Police get conditioned into being bad police by all the other bad police.

From TFS: "Some companies in Denmark have access to the CPR for verifying people's information with the government"

So the people's data was being used as an authentication token.

That is as bad a design as you could possibly come up with.

It's not incompatible. It's locked out by the vendor's use of anti consumer cryptography.

II had not heared of that program. erroneously thought that a program so named would have something to do with radios.

I've released some radio related things on github.

Necfull: Because NEC the antenna element solver from the Us governement costs money. This is better and free.
YagiYagi: A much quicker antenna design program with pre-baked antenna models for common antenna types.
Morsey: To learn Morse code with several different learning models (because I learned some things from my wife with the education PhD).
Hamchannel: An OFDM+LDPC packet data link over FM radio program with support for file transfer and live chat. Meets US amature licensed band rules.
remez: An FIR and IIR digital filter design tool that generates C, System Verilog and VHDL implementation code.

>Or gets rewritten in an LLM?

It'll get rewritten in rust by an LLM. Then no one will be able to understand the code.

I've never met a DAW that didn't have a nightmare UI.
Audacity does not.

If I just want to futz with a audio clip, Audacity is the first choice.

That sounds like a fine solution for a working network situation. My needs are more in line with putting Pis in places the network is spotty and I need them to survive for a while on battery and restart from local storage and keep on doing the thing when power is lost for too long. So a UPS hat and NVME seems to do the trick.

> random number generators replaced by domestic designs.

Do you have any information on that? Like which domestic designs? Is there a link?

I've designed the RNGs in several chips including the RdRand/RdSeed one in Intel CPUs. The AMD one was a bit weird but I have no information on it. In my current role we sell a couple of RNG silicon IPs to whoever wants one (a big fast one and a small slow one) and I've left behind a trail of RNGs in other places.

A thing I've noticed is that a number of the RNG IPs out there are not great, but they are for sale and people buy them, including national bodies looking for their own national secure silicon designs, but they're getting the RNG from a chop shop in Bangalore, except for India who's getting theirs from outside India.
