Read up on the Koch method. To be exact: Koch method with Farnsworth timing. You'll have to keep the letters in a certain speed so your brain does not have enough time to decode dots and dashes. So only the length…
HAM was a nice rabbit hole to fall into, but unfortunately I couldn't muster enough interest to actually get good enough to go "on air". Some other things that surprised me and may be interesting for other people:…
The normalization of the age variable still looks problematic, as it requires that there is a linear dependency between age and incidence. Both the scatter plot and also the probability graph seem to be curving upwards…
I think when thinking about progress as a society, people need to internalize better that we all without exception are on this world for the first time. We may have collectively filled libraries full of books, and…
Yes, that is plausible indeed, but the problem is that there are many explanations which are plausible, but there doesn't seem to be a smoking gun. Strange about that explanation for example is that the time correlation…
Yes, I think it's wrong, or at least way over-exaggerated. You can run a grid to supply approximately 80% renewables (long-term average) without significant technical changes. Only if you want to get the last 20% to…
> crap like that report > Only those working closely in that profession have any knowledge of the underlying causes. This report is literally from the ENTSO-E which is the main regulatory body for the grid in Europe. >…
That being said, I was apparently also under the impression of outdated or just plain wrong information. While the report I listed mentions the sudden loss of decentralized generation as starting point of the blackout,…
> It's not that easy, and the 2025 blackout good evidence of that. Renewables need a grid that's engineered for them and that require significative investments. The outage in spain had multiple complex causes. While the…
Then we are just talking about two different things. On ISP level, routing tables are built via BGP. BGP needs Autonomous Systems (AS) as organization unit to work. If you are not an AS you are never a peer as you are…
> This also describes transit and describes getting internet service at home. Well no. Transit means that you use another AS (usually by a larger ISP) to get connectivity to a certain AS. And as for your internet…
Well, there is always a regulatory measure that would be a lot easier to implement: Lawmakers could just disallow Tier 1 carriers to provide consumer Internet access. (This forced separation of business domain already…
Peering just means that two AS physically connect to each other directly. Whether this peering is paid or not is independent from the technical implementation. Just nearly everybody except Telekom is doing this on a…
DTAG are also a consumer ISP. A consumer ISP should be considered a utility, and utilities can also be forced to provide certain services. In addition, Internet Exchanges have become so critical for the Internet…
Regulating peering within the EU would already be a win. The providers are then free to either move out of the EU market, or let their non-EU traffic flow via the (then likely larger) unrestricted pipes at DECIX and…
Small tangent, but I feel like it is a good time to drop the term "net neutrality", which covers way too much ground. In the past in political discussions, the term "violation of net neutrality" was used to protest…
I think you are reading too much into it indeed. I just paraphrased what the author called "My teenage daughter went mad." I explicitly do not want to make a statement about the normality of the described behaviour, as…
Also, browsing through the rest of the blog, the author seems to be deep in the "incel" social darwinism rabbit hole, which explains why they have so much difficulty to shoe-horn everything into their world view to the…
What a strange article. To summarize, a guy is rejecting the current opinion about the autism spectrum, seemingly because they struggle to understand behaviour of their daughter once she entered puberty. Then they read…
For everybody reading this and scratching their head why this is relevant: Python subclassing is strange. Essentially super().__init__() will resolve to a statically unknowable class at run-time because super() refers…
I loved the game, but I can see where people struggle. You cannot laser-focus on the objective. Just get in character, you are on a mysterious ship, it's completely abandoned and somehow returned to harbor still. You…
For me this sounds just like the lecturer inserted some casual sexism. I can say from my own experience at least at my university, that "Altherrenhumor" ("old gentleman humor") like this is still very common in German…
Yes, this is the most obvious omission of the article. It really made me think about the kind of social dynamics that must be going on in an international and culturally-diverse research station like this one.…
The detection of solutions seems a bit buggy. In the fourth task "Add the angles BAC and EDF on the given line GH", I drew the circles DF and EF in, then connected E and F with a line segment, and it told me that I…
If you understand German, there is a great explanation how the energy market in Europe works here: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/plusminus/teurer-strom-wie... It explains why currently, even though gas is so…
