Re:100x Faster Than Wi-Fi: Li-Fi
on Thursday July 13, 2023 @07:00AM (#36707350)
If I had a dollar every time someone miscapitalized GB/Gb, I would be a lot less angry about people miscapitalizing GB/Gb.
In this case; wow it's actually gigabytes? It does seem strictly theoretical and they mention much more reasonable ~1 gigabyte/s deployments.
>Conclusion [...] scientists and researchers around the world are field-testing LiFi in office and industrial settings and reporting data transmission rates at 1GB per second.

Add "computing" to your query to disambiguate.

Huh, that decimal representation is a pretty attractive idea, I wonder why I haven't heard of it before or seen it in use at all.
100/256 seems very tolerable efficiency-wise.

Funimation has some more, only Lain and GiTS 2 from your list though.
Tangentially, some cool anime got aired on this local PBS station: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvUfoDH_1w0

Long time namecheap user without any autorenew problems, even with insufficient funds forcing them to retry.
You can also add funds to your account in advance, just got an email suggesting that for an upcoming renewal.

You just (poorly) measured the same thing the article did.
I'm still curious to know what % of Show HNs make the front page.

Re:The legend of “x86 CPUs decode instructions into RISC form internally”

AES, particularly AES-256, is considered quantum resistant/safe. AES-128 could have its keysize effectively reduced to 64 bits with Grover's Algorithm (AES-256 to 128 bits), but scaling quantum computers to do that brute force search is not as straightforward as building a bunch of FPGAs or ASICs.

I think it's simply a matter of the media not being there yet. You could envision movies made specifically for experiencing through these devices that would be utterly enthralling to take in, but it won't be for another half decade at least.
Otherwise, I think Apple's focus on "spatiality" is what is key.

Re:Ask HN: Advice on Starting a YouTube Channel?

Your content is extremely prolific, good work! I think your thumbnails specifically do a great job of selling the content.
Having a focus on numbers can definitely be caustic; at the end of the day it's about the whims of hundreds, thousands, or millions(!) of people, and even the algorithms in charge of leading them about.
If you make good content, you'll be appreciated for that content regardless of what the numbers reflect.
