>NFP’s solution was to add redundancy, similar in principle to a data-storage technique called RAID (redundant array of independent disks). Instead of sending each piece of data once, we send extra information that allows missing or corrupted packets to be reconstructed.

A bit disappointing TBH if that is their solution. Seems like everything is trying to pigeon hole everyone into the proof of work scenario. If we have more power/energy then we will beat you in everything security, coding and censorship circumvention.


It's a sound solution. They are describing forward error correction with a variable code rate. Reducing the code rate increases the amount of redundancy, allowing the signal to be retrieved when the signal-to-noise ratio is lower. It's a standard part of communications theory and has a strong theoretical basis. A low enough code rate will overcome almost any level of jamming at the cost of reduced data rate, provided the receiver does not saturate.

I think they're just doing forward error correction (FEC). Not sure what that has to do with proof-of-work?

What other method do you propose to deal with data loss?

Also onion doesn't require a domain register

While true, most people don’t (and won’t ever) know how to use it. But enough will to keep Wikipedia updated I suppose.

Thanks you. This is what the parent post was trying to say. Don't know why it is down-voted. AI or not, if the API end points are well secured, for example use uuid-v7, then their is little that the ai can gain from just these points.

It would be interesting to see if Claude can land and take off. Don't think the autopilot can do that yet.

> Don't think the autopilot can do that yet.

It absolutely can; it's called autoland[1]. In really bad visibility, pilots simply can't see the runway until too late, and most aerodromes which expect these conditions have some sort of autoland system installed. The most advanced ones will control every aspect of the plane from top-of-descent (TOD), flaps and throttle configuration, long and short final, gear down, flare, reverse thrust, and roll-out, all the way to a full stop on the runway. Zero pilot input needed.

And most of this was already available in the late 1970s. We have absolutely no need for LLM-based AI in aviation; traditional automation techniques have proven extremely powerful given how restricted the human domain of aviation already is.

Autopilots can. Both on airliners and small planes, although only landing on the latter as far as I know and it's only meant for emergencies. Airbus ATTOL is probably the most interesting of these in that it's visual rather than ILS (note that no commercial airliners are using this).

Nice drunk theme! All web site should have one.

Link seems to be down ATM. Is this caused by that cloud flare issue affecting archive.today that was just posted recently?


It works for me Firefox's Cloudflare DNS over HTTP.

For clarity, the recent issue[0] likely wasn't intermittent. Cloudflare's malware blocking DNS server now blocks those archive.today sites. Doesn't affect the non-malware-blocking DNS server (1.1.1.1).

>For a long time, I was a satisfied Namecheap customer. They offer good prices, a wide selection of available domains, their DNS management has everything you need, and their support team has helped me quickly on several occasions. But now it was time to look for a comparable provider in the EU. In the end, I settled on hosting.de. Some of the reasons were the prices, reviews, the location in Germany, and the availability of .is domains. So far, everything has been running smoothly; support helped me quickly and competently with one issue; and while prices for non-German domains are slightly higher, they’re still within an acceptable range.

Have you tried zone.eu? Think they are related to the Nodemailer people or they acquired them. Would fit the whole Migrating to the EU theme of the article. And it is in English ;-) Couldn't really navigate the hosting.de site without using Google Translator.

Was wondering, but this the most duct tap hacker solution!


>And I would be much happier if my money went to struggling artists I like and support, rather than to the global top 10, of whom I never played a single song.

Why don't we have a platform like that?


It is nice that they have the default set to "None". However to have this feature in pgAmdin is as distraction from the project.

If it is just calling API anyway, then I don't want to have this in my db admin tool. It also expose surface area of potential data leakage.


Worth pointing out that Postgres is perfectly usable without an admin dashboard at all
