In May this year, the 2x48GB Crucial SODIMM kit sold for £180. Today, the same kit is £275 in the Crucial Amazon store, and sales are limited to one unit per customer. The free market price seems to be over £500. Not a good time to be building a Mini PC or DIY laptop.

Impressive feat by Waymo, though it could have been 100-200ms faster had it noticed not only the change in trajectory, but also the jerky motion that destabilized the scooter.

For a truly superhuman performance, it might even register the brick and anticipate the scooter's accident.

Does this mean that Minimum TDP = maximum power consumption* at the CPU's lowest power configuration?

* Averaged over some time window relevant for cooling

Yes, that's correct as long as you don't worry about transient boosts like PL1/2!

Hey, thanks again for the talk and for answering my fork bomb question with a live demo!

Thanks for your question and glad that you enjoyed it!

I thought you handled the question really well. To be honest the whole talk was excellent. I'm gutted I missed it in person.

There were a lot of aspects of this talk that I thought were really great. The willingness to try something unscripted, diving into the code repo live (e.g. to show where fuzzing is used), and the discussions of the reasoning behind the design choices. Great job @xiaq. This really makes me want to try elvish out, and I usually am quite skeptical of new shells.

Thanks! Glad that the talk is working as a marketing pitch for Elvish :)

Thanks! Murex talk when??? :)

haha I can't present nearly as well as yourself but maybe one day.

It's not easy to present though. I know on HN we see a lot of very clever people give some well executed presentations and it's sometimes easy to forget how much preparation and courage it takes to perform like that. And it's great to see how engaged people were with the content too.

Sorry, this is less of a question and more just comment of appreciation.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment the appreciation :)

The word `official` was added by OP to hint at the fact that zx2c4 is the kernel contributor who created WireGuard.

It isn't clear whether it was the milking robot or the farmer's computer that was compromised.

A more measured take on the relationship between science and religion: https://philosophy.stackexchange.com/a/29763

Haha, I've always enjoyed being at the end getting less attention from teachers. If the data merely shows a correlation, it may as well be explained by us at the end being under less pressure.

Most useful is relative. The book dealers who gave me my first ever contract for an automated leaflet generator that generated customized leaflets for each dealer would consider that the most useful. It's been over a decade and they still use it every day. Some other projects that come to my mind:

- an open source OIDC authorization and identity server (Ory Hydra and Ory Kratos)

- a system that uses computer vision to track food waste in industrial kitchens, helping them understand and minimize food waste

- a live milk quality estimator for a milking robot

- a browser extension called memorize. I wrote this reusing code from another contract I did while still in secondary school, and I'm mentioning it thanks to a user named lush berry who wrote "literally the most helpful thing i ever found on the internet. it helps me memorize stuff even when i'm procrastinating which is amazing. however, i have a lot of suggestions, does anyone know how i can contact the makers of this extension?". I wish I had the time to listen to these users and make the changes they want.

Because my card was issued by MasterCard, not Amazon. The technology between the card reader and my card account is determined by MasterCard, and in theory MasterCard don't need to give Amazon any identifying information to process a payment.

It's been a few years since I've looked at any of this, so please forgive me if I'm out of date. I figure giving you information that's probably current is better than what you're getting right now (no information).

The protocol between the card reader, the payment processor, and your creditor is determined by your creditor, but the details of the implementation are not. In the same way that a website can do whatever they like with your credit card information once you enter it, the card reader can do the same. There are some laws and industry best practices intended to protect your card information that vary by region, but your account number, name, and card expiration date are exposed to the merchant even when using EMV. (see https://www.eftlab.com/knowledge-base/complete-list-of-emv-n...)

EMV is designed to provide PIN authentication to prevent the use of stolen cards. It doesn't guarantee an end-to-end secure protocol for each transaction (because that wouldn't work offline).

Thank you for the explanation!
