Hand written assembly is pretty common in video, no matter what they say. All modern video codecs have hand written assembly for all modern SIMD extensions, even on ARM. They didn't say anything about where these numbers come from. Likely compared against unoptimized C code. There will never be a case where having AVX-512 will give you that kind of speedup, because there will be fallbacks for more common extensions.

If qbits double every year, we're at 20 million in 15 years. Changing crypto takes a very long time on some systems. If we're at ~20000 in 5 years, we better have usable post quantum in place to start mitigations.

But I'm not convinced yet, we'll have those numbers then. Especially error free qbits...

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.

Wasn't that somewhat how Q-anon started?

Note: every file on Ipfs is unencrypted and semi-public unless you encrypt before upload.

It is not a problem to distribute the decryption algorithm. The question remains against what this will protect. Normal https encrypts the traffic safely during transit. With this, the data is also encrypted on the server. But if you can access the server, you can modify the javascript code to send the password back to a server.

It could be used on something like IPFS, where all data is basically public but you can be sure it hasn't been modified.

Aren't all (most?) those centralized services? What good is having the app if the service is unavailable? Tox, Jamie and Veilidchat are fully decentralized, not just federated, fully decentralized. They come with their own downsides though...

No wonder. That file is super slow to transfer for some reason. but wait till you get to /dev/urandom. That file hat TBs to transfer at whatever pipe you can throw at it...

For how long though? How do you know these are real people?

While I also noticed my webcam showing up with 3W in powertop and disabling the uvcvideo module removed that entry, it doesn't affect the reported battery discharge rate at all.

I can see the files being opened with lsof and not so with the workaround. But again the discharge rate doesn't change at all ...

To me it seems the power consumption is misreported.

They probably can. jut every hack done has the possibility of spoiling the exploit. A good exploit can cost a million $. So if hacking you is worth more then say 100k to them, you're in trouble. Otherwise they will only target you with everyday surveilance.
