There’s a lot of misinformation in this thread. Sure, they broke 22-bit RSA encryption. But here’s the thing - that’s proof that a suitably large quantum computer can break any size RSA encryption in the same amount of time it took to break 22-bit RSA encryption.

Because of the way the annealing process works, it’s a known-time process, no matter how many inputs or q-bits are used. We don’t have the ability to create a computer with sufficient q-bits to break anything more than 22-bit at the moment, but current estimates are that in 10 - 15 years we will have enough to break 1024-bit.

And it’ll take the same amount of time as this 22-bit process took.

And that basically means we need new encryption processes within 10-15 years, that are quantum safe, or all our encryption is belong to whoever has these quantum computers.

Got it on GamePass yesterday. It runs like a dog, and that’s on a 10-700k with 64GB ram, 3070 and a Sabrent Rocket 4 nvme. Even dropping to 1080 and low still hovers around 30 - 40fps with random dropouts to <10fps in ‘complex’ areas. Given this system can run God of War at 4K Ultra (With DLSS Balanced) at 30fps, or Black Myth: Wukong at High at 50 - 60fps, I’m going to say it’s not the system at fault…

Wait for a few patches, the performance is currently not up to spec. Which is sad, because the introduction got me super hooked and I want to play more.

It was a term coined to describe the step-by-step process modern tech platforms go through:

1. be good, get customers, grow
2. get large enough to corner market, concentrate on profits
3. get large enough to move to politicise their approach, drive out competition through aggressive tactics, and lock in consumers
4. drive more profit through dark patterns and ensure nobody wins but the stakeholders

It’s specifically that, and there wasn’t a word that described that process previously, as it’s only something that’s possible in a modern, “web scale” worldwide platform.

As “three dead trolls in a baggie” famously sung… “Every OS Sucks”.

As true today as when it was first penned.

Been there too

Murray!

Technically, it was a display made from E. Coli cells, not actually programming the microbes to run it themselves…

… but yes, Doom has been used in a computer where the display was E. Coli.

“Actively Commissioning” and “Subsidizing” are two different contexts. Your points are all accurate, but commissioning a movie means actually going out and saying, “we want this movie, and will pay/provide resources to it in order for it to get done”, versus “your doing a movie with military, we’ll provide resources in compensation for a meddlers credit”.

The ICO in the UK is pretty good… I used to work on their CRM system and it was an eye opener how little, and also how big the things they investigated were.

I’m in the UK. I’ll never brag about our train system, not after Twatcher privatised them, and further back the horrific Beeching cuts.

The rest - yeah, worth it.

This is illegal in UK and Europe…

Getting 1 star on GitHub

And… Wine stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator, too.

I was home taught in the UK. Have a real love for learning that’s kick-started me into a career in computing that I’ve kept going for over two decades. Can’t stop, won’t stop reading, learning and improving. The number of colleagues I’ve had who just want a TL;DR on a new tech, software, plugin or system is too many. It’s our job to understand it, so we can build something so that others don’t have to. If you don’t want to understand, you’re in the wrong job role.

No, that’s fair. Coffee at pressure is about 93 - 95°C… No idea for drip/french press/v60 etc. as I don’t use those For Aeropress, I’d wait until the kettle stopped making noise, that seemed to be a good balance without burning the oils.

Coffee isn’t a tea, as you don’t boil it. If you boil it, you burn the coffee! That’s an extraction - you can steep it, but it’s better if you just push the water through at high pressure (which will royally screw up a tea).

Ah, pedantry in pedantry. So - now for Lemmy to tell me what I’ve gotten wrong :⁠-⁠D

Challenger disaster

Oh fuck yes. I remember reading about this year’s ago, glad to see it’s still going ahead.

Time to catch up on the lore. And by that I mean watch some kick ass videos again.

I always remember that it’s eXtract Ze File, tar -xzf… But I’ll be honest, I’ve not used it in years and years

“just just” - another ohnosecond moment.
