I am 100% pro Ethereum for adopting proof of work. Though for me its for ethical/environmental reasons not technical

Yes I incorrectly wrote “not automatic” when it should’ve been “not instant”. Thanks for the correction also for correcting the delay.

The gist of my comment is still valid though. miners are operating at a loss because they’re waiting for the difficulty adjustment to happen.

zero day vulnerability is not a vulnerability that was never used. zero day vulnerability is a vulnerability that has not been fixed/patched yet so it can be used to attack an up to date software

The article explains that part but the short version is:

when miners operate at loss, they start to leave.

The less miners there is the lower the difficulty to mine becomes so its cheaper to mine until and equilibrium is restored.

problem is that difficulty adjustment is not automatic and its done only once every few months so until next adjustment miners would have to operate at loss or sell their expensive equipment and exit for good.

Regarding VPN being slow, two possibilities here:

1. They analyze internet packets, detect VPN connections and deliberately throttle them.
2. They just slow down anything that is not a common protocol (not http, https, ftp, …) that would make other things like torrent or even ssh session to be also equally slow.

If it is the first possibility, I know that OpenVPN with static key tend to be very difficult to detect if not impossible. Its also a bit faster but it has its cons that I encourage you to read about.

If it is the second possibility then you need to disguise your VPN traffic as https. I know its doable but I am fuzzy on the details.

TLDR; this is a useful replacement for SQLite but only if you develop a nodejs app

totally agee also same problem with published scientific papers .

I just assume that since this code submission was done by Anthropic itself - probably to demonstrate how good their AI has became ( I don’t know what is the actual background to this story) - FFmpeg team gave it more consideration as opposed to a random amature.

I am sure that discussion will be taken a lot more seriously in the coming years

Maybe he meant code quality was so good its like a human wrote it.

After all if the code is good and follow all best practices of the project, why reject it just because it was an AI who wrote it. That’s racism against machines.

I just wish if the article had less fluff and more facts

• Was that journalist wearing outfit that clearly shows he is from the press?
• Who is this journalist
• Was he recording during the incident, can you release the recording?

These kind of information give more credibility to the report instead of just throwing accusations and insults with little facts beyond “a journalist was shot”

The post doesn’t explain why didn’t they request their gold already. There has to be some benefit in storing it in the US

Linux’s advantage is slowly shrinking

Should’ve been: Ubuntu’s advantage is slowly shrinking

This article is talking as if Ubuntu is the only Linux distro out there

would be a shame if he dies before going to a trial for all his past and present crimes

Luckily the whole thing only lasted 3 hours. Hopefully not so much damage has happened

why its installed via npm instead of rust’s package manager? since its written in rust I mean

Happy 1st of April

say: “it wasn’t me”

I am not ignoring them. I am doing my part and reporting them to mods.

Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with their comments but when you view their profile and see its 100% political posts and all about same topic (Russia/Iran/China are great and US/Israel is shit) then you’ll realize you’re dealing with bots.

I don’t want to spend my time arguing with ChatGPT or another language model

I have started with Mandrake (later renamed to Mandriva) then went through few other distros before settling on Gentoo.

Gentoo installation is one of the most complicated because there is no installer, you do everything yourself.

This is like buying car parts and assembling them together into a car using a manufacturer’s manual. its painful but once the car is assembled you almost never have to take it to a repair shop. Not because it doesn’t breakdown but because you know well how it function and thus how to fix it yourself.

any post that even suggest Iran might be doing something wrong gets heavily down voted from bots.

I get it that each party in the war try to spread its propaganda but this is getting ridiculous. I hope mods do something about these bots
