Also: getting up is easy. The hard part is getting fast enough so you don't fall down again. So you still need quite some fuel no matter how high you can throw.

BTW: Spinlaunch knows this of course. They plan to sling a rocket into space to get the payload to orbital speed. Funny that is not mentioned in the article.

"The computers are not general purpose, but rather are designed for quantum annealing. Specifically, the computers are designed to use quantum annealing to solve a single type of problem known as quadratic unconstrained binary optimization. As of 2015, it was still debated whether large-scale entanglement takes place in D-Wave Two, and whether current or future generations of D-Wave computers will have any advantage over classical computers." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Two

I'm not aware this has changed.

On the plus side: they have >5000 qbits

D-wave is not a classical quantum computer. It is known to not be able to run Shors algorithm.

I hope they can build on some work from the lua devs. Isolating stuff like that is not always easy. But given lua is used extensively for embedded scripting, there is a good chance they can.

I played some minetest and then looked at Minecraft. Is minecraft really limited to -64 +256??? I read it a couple of times but still can't believe it. Ho can a game with °mine° in its name be so limited? More like Buildcraft Imo.

Online play is 100% unencrypted or authenticated. Client executes lua code sent by the server. I hope the code is kinda sandboxed but wouldnt put my hopes up there.

I write business letters in HTML. I have a custom letter.css and a base letter.html+.js that loads individual letters into a template. I have some custom tags for date, address and similar. The individual docs are super clean. I can export compiled html files with embedded css (no js needed) and images that render perfectly and are even smaller then the pdfs I export (print) and those are small too.

Two downsides. The biggest problem, I didn't find a way to do proper multi page docs. And especially Firefox has limited print css support.

Second: everything is crudely hacked together and in no way usable by others...

maybe chatgpt can rewrite the code better, so I can publish it?

I know million dollar machines that ship without MS office, but with Openoffice (!). The problem is, the Software can copy graphs to the clipboard in WMF (or something like that) that neither the super old Openoffice nor a recent Libreoffice can import. So wordpad is the only ootb software able to use the data.

Their reason is that 90% of their customers have an office subscription anyways...

A distro is composed of:

  • an installer
  • base system (bootloader, filesystems, service runner, DE, basic apps, settings)
  • packet manager and packaged software
  • an updater between releases

The biggest things you notice are updated packages. Many of the base-system differences aren't even pushed to updated installations. Most of what the user sees as °the os° is the DE anyway.

The biggest problem, 25% (or however many) will survive this and be unharmed. Those are the ones others will hear about because god saved them. It will not matter how many believers died.

If you tried to do it yourself and compare what others can do, then no. Therer are AI artists and I'm not one of them.

You get an image with 'picture of djt in a church with 6 fingers' but it takes skill to get really good quality stuff.

Certificate pinning?

Also all let's encrypt certs are public. So if someone malicious gets a cert for your domain, you can notice.

(Thats also why it may be a bad idea to use that for secretButPublicStuff.Yourdomain.com certificate transparency logs are a great way to find attack surface.)

edit oh certificate pinning has been deprecated in favor of checking transparency logs.
