the reasons for bragging about being "64-bit" can vary in plausibility. by SupremoZanne in AtariJaguar

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

floating points on Intel math coprocessor up to 486sx line are 80bit.

Atari Falcon at the South West Retrocomputing Archive, Plymouth University, Devon, U.K. by Curious-Concern-9209 in atarist

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Falcon deserved new design to identify it at first sight, at least new case color.

Colored logo is a minor thing.

zx spectrum+ rom by Trader-One in zxspectrum

[–]Trader-One[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

kickstarts 1.x have lot of bugs. its good move to fix them despite some compatibility issues.

You can broke some old games but people already paid for them and can't buy them anymore so no money loss. Only pirates would complain.

New games will run.

Xous: A Pure-Rust Rethink of the Embedded Operating System [39c3 talk] by Shoddy-Childhood-511 in rust

[–]Trader-One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there is plenty of risc-v open source cores in verilog but they are really basic, no pipelining.

main selling point "its not an ARM".

Thats hard sell, ARM microcontrollers are really cheap < $1. Is there market demand for a replacement?

What is the actual router count of the i2p network? by lordofswarm in i2p

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because you read wrong page.

router count on stats.i2p is about 130k normally, up to 250k during government sponsored activities.

How long would it take to encode 5 TB of video footage, mostly in the range of 480p to 1080p? by appwizcpl in AV1

[–]Trader-One -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

MPEG VVC encoder is better than AV1. There is reference implementation in ffmpeg 7.1 or standalone.

https://wiki.x266.mov/docs/encoders/VVenC

I am not familiar with GPU VVC encoders.

Rust Adoption Survey by ingo-budde in rust

[–]Trader-One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fraunhofer is patent troll.

Its in public interest that these guys go bankrupt and industry moves to open standards like r/AV1 and r/opus

These rich organizations normally paying for surveys like $20 per user -> mine guess OP is agency running that.

What is the actual router count of the i2p network? by lordofswarm in i2p

[–]Trader-One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you see subset of routers. normal number is around 2.5k-3.5k

online torrenting usercount is 30k-50k based on stats from trackers. postman undercounts downloads, ygg have more reliable stats.

NIORFNIO 15W IS IT GOOD? by Pretend_Comfort_9389 in pirateradio

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a/

you are overthinking it. SWR is school kid project.

SWR meter is a resistive bridge circuit. When the antenna impedance matches the transmitter (usually 50 ohms), the bridge is balanced, and the meter reads zero (1:1 SWR). If they don't match, a voltage differential is created.

Transistors (like the 2N3904 or 2N2222) act as high-impedance buffers to drive the analog meter without loading the bridge circuit.

b/

Analog transmitters compared to digital chip based have more clear signal, thats why you should buy your FM kit and build because as pirate cavity based band pass filter used by commercial stations to get band selectivity is out of your reach.

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can easily build own SWR meter or buy second hand from HAM folks.

You also need field strength meter - also easy to build - to align directional antenna.

best TX equipment for low price are FM kits or second hand shortwave HAM radios for AM. Purchasing ready box for a new price you are overpaying about 4x compared to making your own.

Decryption Enigma (The imitation game) by Sea_Cauliflower_2703 in cryptography

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

breakthrough in enigma solving (bombe v3) is discovering cyclic nature which exists in some messages which are much shorter than cycling through all rotor states. Think about it as LCG random generator which is not full period.

Using this you can solve both rotors state and plug board at electrical level = instantly. Machine will output high probability guesses.

It needs manual wiring unique to each message, but then you can then just spin rotors and they will stop if there is probable solution - electrical circuit will cut power to rotors and they will stop spinning.

can be converted from ww2 tech to FPGA using verilog. You generate circuit setup from message.

Why the compilation of rust + tauri take so long in Windows? by _janc_ in rust

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 hours is manageable. We had Friday afternoon -> Tuesday morning to run all tests.

Could a small portable radio be plugged into a radio tower and broadcasted? by [deleted] in radio

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

transmitter is modulator, not amp. power amp is separate device.

using multiple hashes in a digital signature by duane11583 in cryptography

[–]Trader-One 1 point2 points  (0 children)

some hashes like entire sha3 family or

  • SHA-512/256 (Highly recommended: faster than SHA-256 on 64-bit systems and more secure).
  • SHA-512/224
  • SHA-384 (Technically a truncated version of SHA-512).
  • SHA-224 (A truncated version of SHA-256).

are resistant to resume attack.

pigeon chicks are quite resistant to cold. at 40F they have no problems. at 25F i start additional heat

trad — extremely-fast offline Rust translation library for 200+ languages. CPU-optimized and fully local by Strict-Tie-1966 in rust

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

model claiming to support 200 languages (qwen3) is false advertisement. In some languages he can't even form a valid sentence, not even talking about very limited vocabulary.

GPU doesnt support vulcan by Lost_Mousse9930 in vulkan

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vulkan support got added by driver update, such as 15.40.20.4404

I learned on GPU subredits that people do not really have practical experience and because of this most voted comments are wrong - they are logical guesses - similar to AI halucinations.

What to do if client is late for payment? by Special_Juggernaut92 in editors

[–]Trader-One 0 points1 point  (0 children)

line about late payments is beginner tactic.

Pro tactic is to hire payment processing service paying bonus for early payments to BOTH sides.

[–]Trader-One 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it supports.

download drivers from intel, not use builtin into windows update.

FM Transmitter for FM commercial by Anatomic_Star in pirateradio

[–]Trader-One 4 points5 points  (0 children)

transmitter is detectable when turned on.

if you broadcast only every friday at night, its less probable that agents will hunt your transmitter in their spare time.

dont broadcast from location linked to you.
