  • uptime should be handled by the kernel, so a kexec "soft-reboot" would still reset the uptime.

  • Flu and corona are both "common cold type" viruses defeating resistance in some way. For coronaviruses that method is stopping the body from building effective resistance by all means possible, so that is why vaccines tend to not work too well.For the flu it's the many variations and its tendency to change further and need new antibodies.So I don't think a specific flu strain is hard to make a very effective vaccine for, but ofc this doesn't yet solve the flu problem.The immense speed at which mRNA vaccines can be developed might improve that in the future, where this here could be one of many steps to get regulatory approval for blanket mrna and actually be permitted to change them at that pace.

    In principle mRNA should let you crank you vaccines for new diseases/flu-strains in under a week. If this can fully stop the flu?... I doubt it. Whatever does solve it will probably make use of this tech though.

  • Headline sounds like they want them to relocate to Europe. Bummer.

  • Usually for typical conductors I think we can learn enough about the position and momentum of our electrons to keep track of them.Not overly precisely but enough to not confuse them with each other.A good way to see this is that we can simulate electrons moving through states in a conductor with good accuracy, without a need to go into full quantum mechanical descriptions, in an almost classical simulation.Of course the position and speed we are tracking there is not a typical blurred point, it will be a complicated wave spanning many neighbouring atoms in size, with different electrons being at different positions around those atoms.But you can know which electrons are in what loose region with what distribution, and follow them through interactions where they move to different regions or change the shape of their wave. Depending on your conductor the spread may even go down to single-atom-scales in some extremes.

    Measuring all electrons in a real conductor enough to tell after some time which end of it any one electron ended up at, would probably change its properties slightly due to the measurements, but done correctly it should definitely still be behaving like a normal conductor.

    Here is an example of a particularly low-speed localized electron in a typical material:

    Every electron will have a patterned distribution like that. If you naively tried to measure electrons at some spot, there would be thousands strongly overlapping there, you would mess everything up. But there is no issue checking if this wide shape as shown has an electron occupying it or not.

  • They are usually very particle like.

    The extreme is semiconductors and band fuckery. There you have a lot of stuff that only makes sense with electron particles jumping around accelerating and colliding. You can talk about mean free path in conductors etc.

    They do however interact a lot via their charge, so electricity propagating is usually a pressure wave mostly visible in the electric field, with electrons only doing very little, moving slowly. This field is however driven by the electrons, so it really is electrons doing that.

    Resistance, diodes, even heat conduction (/"resistance" to heat transfer) directly follows from electrons as particles interacting with atoms or themselves.

    I think you loose these particle effects in (type 1) superconductivity. Your cooper pairs are so smooth and non-interacting they might aswell be clouds if you don't zoom in enough (quantum circuits sometimes have singular amounts of those charge carriers running in circles in a tiny superconductor loop).However, when you look into why superconductivity is a thing and at what temperature you see it etc., that once again derives directly from the properties of electrons and the layout of your material.


    Or maybe you meam do electrons have dimensions and physical properties? That they don't.They have a charge, speed, momentum, ... but interaction is via the charge. That is what touching means, there is no further collision (technically there is electroweak force stuff).They are not points either because qm eave blurriness stuff.


    For your specific electron movement questions. I think electrons in metals under normal current where the metal heats only a litte move at snails pace, literally. In semiconductors it's a lot faster, about bullet speeds if you push some current. Metals could probably also get to bullet speeds but they would vaporize and explode due to the electric and magnetic fields. Faster than that isn't really feasible. Btw. the random motion at room temperature is also at that scale, though due to quantum effects it's not a bouncing around.

    So when you have circuits operate near light speed, that is an electron pressure wave not electrons. The electrons react via quantum fuckery, but changing between speeds and positions at the slow pace described. The reaction is carried on via the electric field. The speed of electricity is the speed of interaction between electrons, not the speed of electrons.

    Without the electrons reacting and causing their own electric field changes, the electric field still carries the effects but it quickly dilutes. This is called radio (depending on the timescale of your change), and while it does transmit electricity it does so very weakly, nothing compared to the "continuously electron reinforced short range interaction" wire.

  • Try to log the stdout of your services, I dare you.

    openrc is just missing some pretty essential things. I'm not saying to copy journalctl, but at least dump stdout into some tmpfs file by default.

    To have some sane basic logging on hand if a service breaks weirdly or is misbehavingy you'd need to edit that specific service file and restart. And most of the time look up the spec of the specific service command to remove log supression.

    Unlogability alone makes openrc quite a nightmare for a lot of setups. I've wasted hours repeadedly that would have been 5min had I gotten the log upfront.

  • Ahoy

  • GTT (gpu swap) is handled by the gpu driver, so only nvidia can see if they can add it to their closed source drivers. radv is the amd vulkan driver.

  • This means continued security patches until at least end of 2027, so at the earliest these will be out of support in 2028.

    Realistically this will be much longer into the future, as the LTS window of multiple LTS releases is likely to be extended more.I'd be surprised if these go out of support before 2032

  • Notification logging is usually done by some other part of android as far as I know. GMS is the typical way to deliver notifications and is a far more serious privacy concern, since it also directly passes googles servers and is not encrypted. However as others mentioned, signal does not send contents there, message notifications with the message contents stay on device.

  • This is about a history of notifications locally on the phone.This is implemented outside of gms at least on my rom, and in the past I have also installed a separate app to do the same.If you log your notifications ... that log can leak your notifications.

  • It's an early step. Good chance it doesn't work well in humans, and many side effects can't be discovered until human trials either.

  • Vertragsrecht get da normalerweise von der Erwartungshaltung aus.Bei Autos ist abschleppen und Bußgeld typisch. Aber niemand geht bei dem einfachen Nutzungsvertrag für Eintrittsgeld von Bußgeldern aus die zentausend mal höher liegen, oder überhaupt von Bußgeldern. Das ist die selbe Logik die dich davor schützt dass jemand so ne Klausel irgendwo böswillig versteckt.Ich kann ja auch nicht nen Laden aufmachen dann in die Hausregeln setzen dass wer mit dem Linken Fuß eintritt sich verplichtet mir ne Million zu zahlen Frist 3 Jahre dann 3 Jahre später hunderttausen Kunden verklagen.

    Also das Recht geht korrekterweise davon aus das quasi keiner so Verträge ließt oder versteht, also wenn ne typische person nicht erwarten würde was drin steht wirds schwer.

    Wenn man jetzt beim Eintritt jedem verbal den Kern erklärt und nen Zettel unterschreiben lässt auf dem groß steht "Ich zahl Jedem den ich hier ohne deren Erlaubniss filme oder photographiere 1000,-€" dann vielleicht. Aber dann verschreckt man sich die Kundschaft.Und am Ende kommt man wahrscheinlich trotzdem mit jeder wackeligen Ausrede da raus.

  • Since noone went into details on it yet,LCDs are already transparent. They filter light, and usually their back is simply lit uniformly white. Instead you can use them freestanding and get a pane of glass you can selectively darken. This is sometimes used in custom pc cases to show info on a glass sidepanel.

    Unfortunately the way LCDs work means they always darken by 50% at the brightest, much more if you add color filters to escape b/w hell. If eink develops further and matches lcds in speed, it is probably possible to change the materials in one to make the pigment not block light when it is on one side.

    As for getting brighter, that is on the edge of viable, since we are just short of microled screens. There are already larger screens using that technology, and if you really wanted to you could make small screens too, it would just be really expensive and manual. Viable mass production is still in development, current methods have too many dead pixels.

    So within a few years and with some development to adjust eink to the purpose, it should be possible to get a pretty transparent pane that can become opaque and specular or matte in any color and saturation and brightness, and also emit light at will on its surface.

    The driver electronics should be very shrinkable and could probably be made small enough you literally couldn't see them. The limit is probably gonna be the power source, which will likely have to wait for some far off material science magic like graphene capacitor batteries that manages to make it transparent so you can stick it inside the pane of glass.

  • Glaub nicht dass man einfach so Strafzahlungen in Hausregeln einbetten kann. Neben Hausverbot ist da wohl nicht viel drin.Vielleicht kann man das legal öffentlich bekannt machen und Täter so an den Pranker stellen...
