Frankly I think your article focuses on an outdated or not relevant setting in GitHub. So the red herring is probably backwards here. There are tons of these (don’t get me started about topics and managing them for many repos), but GitHub has clearly been pushing rulesets over the past years and combined with CODEOWNERS this is the de-facto way of granularity managing who can make changes to GA workflows.

> I dismissed it as one of those albums that people pretended to like to seem smart for years until I was mature enough to understand it.

heh, I always liked this album as a kid cause mom would play the record a lot. It was my fave do math homework background music. That and Pink Floyd (Echoes).

As a kid: "I'm Waiting For The Day" was a great song cause it was lively and bouncy.

But as an adult: "Let's Go Away For Awhile" is more captivating.

A little something there for everyone I tell you hwhat.

If you find this interesting, I strongly recommend the book _The Light Eaters_ by Zoë Schlanger [0]. She discusses this finding as well as other sense-abilities of plants. Recent science has found pretty amazing things.

If I recall correctly: flowers are often shaped like dish antennas to collect sound vibration, and plants can distinguish the frequency of wing beats of their preferred pollinator from frequencies of other insects, and will act only for their pollinators.

To drag out the trite comparison once more: not writing assembly will atrophy your skill to write assembly, yet the vast majority of us is perfectly happy handing this work to a compiler. I know, this analogy has issues (deterministic vs stochastic, etc.) but the code remains true: you might lose that particular skill, but it might not matter as you slide on up the abstraction latter.

You are wrong. Citation: I read the post. The purpose of the post is to announce the Foundation Models framework. It's mentioned in the very first paragraph and throughout the post.

The Foundation Models framework documentation:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundationmodels/

> The Foundation Models framework provides access to > Apple’s on-device large language model that powers > Apple Intelligence to help you perform intelligent > tasks specific to your use case.

Sure, the models are also named the same. That's beside the point. That's not the point of the post you're correcting me on, which is again, announcing the framework.

If the defibrillator has any kind of warmup period before it fires, I wonder if that interval could be used to send a signal to the patient, e.g. to their phone.

The most “usable” form of this would be to allow the patient to agree or disagree to the shock (maybe defaulting to agree if no response is given in time); this would place the agency in the hands of the patient and allow them to be mentally prepared. Missing that, at least a couple seconds of warning would be better than nothing.

(Disclaimer: I don’t know much about these devices or the latency requirements between detection of an abnormal condition and treatment; these suggestions only work if the heart can tolerate a few seconds of delay. It seems plausible since the detection itself is based on monitoring of heart rhythms over some period of time, but I am not an expert.)

Do you think federal agents that refuse to identify themselves, present warrants, or follow due process is law and order? Do you think peace officers that shoot munitions at unarmed civilians walking home is a fair trade for suspension of the first amendment?

That's the reason why people are protesting. If you wanna provide evidence about "your city", be specific, because places like Portland, Seattle, Austin, SF, NYC, Boston, and more are doing just fine.

It's a bit more complex than "Americans were rich". Whether they were rich or not:

* the US Federal Government gave returning servicemen a lot of money, including low-cost mortgages and loans, which resulted in huge housebuilding programs that created huge suburbs and exurbs (because it's much cheaper for the housebuilder): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Bill

* the US Gov spent billions on public works to create the highway system in the 1950s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal-Aid_Highway_Act_of_195...

* huge swathes of the USA enacted zoning laws so that the only type of house that could be built was single-family homes with huge gaps between them, creating the lowest possible density neighbourhoods, effectively requiring a car to get around (whereas higher density housing could have the same number of residents and be walkable) -- there's a strong likelyhood this was done to allow white flight to neighbourhoods that keep the socioeconomically deprived out, and until the 1960s it was completely legal to say "you can't rent or sell this house to black people" (it was only made illegal in 1968 with the Fair Housing Act):

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-family_zoning

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_steering

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_(law)#Exclusionary_co...

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Housing_segregation_in_the_Uni...

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_segregation_in_the...

These components very much add up to incentives to build widely and sparsely and to rely on cars to make it work. It didn't happen because Americans were rich, but because rich Americans wanted to exclude poor people from their lives

We went through this with all the Silicon Valley "disruptors" in the '00s and '10s. It's fun while they're focused solely on burning VC money to build a massive userbase, but as soon as they decide it's time to start actually making money the deal gets a lot less sweet. Only by that time, most of the competitors are gone and you don't have much choice.

Yahoo had 90%+ of the search market and they lost it in a few years to google because they were unable to innovate. I don't think anyone saw that coming. Everyone was building "portals" (remember those? AOL.com? I think verizon.com was one at some point with news and weather) to try and compete with Yahoo's dominance in search. It can happen again. LLM Chat is certainly an existential threat to the googs. Part of the OpenAI lore is that google originally viewed it as a threat to their search/advertising revenue model and defunded it on that basis.

The fact that people are willing to pay for LLM and use it over search seems to indicate that Google's free product isn't as good, and llm chat is better "Enough" that people are willing to pay for it.

You aren't as extraordinary as you think you are by finishing the book. It is long, but it isn't incredibly long. By making this insinuation of others' lack of honesty in their claims of reading the book, it's as if you either believe the book to be unbearably boring for the average reader, which is odd for a fan of a literary work, or perhaps you'd just prefer to gatekeep this imagined status that you've invented for yourself, as someone who has managed the supposedly inhuman accomplishment of finishing the book. I and likely a decent many others in this thread have read it through. However, I've never convinced myself to have achieved something uniquely exceptional by simply having read what an author wrote, like you seem to have done.

thanks, this is super helpful. Those stats really speak for themselves. It seems like giving users the real thing, even with demo data, is a powerful move.

Could you share a bit more about how you manage it? My main concern is the upkeep.

1) How much time does your team spend maintaining this live environment and its data, especially when you ship new features?

2) Also, how do you handle bugs or instability? I'd be worried about a potential customer hitting a bug in the demo and just leaving.

3) And once they're in, how do you guide them? Do you just let them explore freely, or are there hints or tooltips to make sure they see the key features?

In metric units: 4805 meters, 271°C

The average drilling speed over 16 days is: 1 cm every ~3 seconds, or 1 inch every ~7 seconds.

The press release quotes a maximum average rate of penetration (ROP) of 95 feet/hour which is: 1 cm every 1.2 seconds, or 1 inch every ~3 seconds.

They also quote an instantaneous ROP of over 300 feet/hour which is: 1 cm every 0.4 seconds, or 1 inch every 1 second.

The end of the quote I provided does some very high level contrasting of the well known RoCE v2 RDMA over converged Ethernet, which is the most popular IBoE like thing.

I'm sure there's a lot more nuanced to it all. But I think predictability/utilization/latency in RoCE are worse, that it relies on Explicit Congestion Notification more for flow control. Where-as UE is using Infiniband style credit based flow control, which should insure that any data sent has sufficient throughout allocated to it to be received.

UE seems to be a more direct creation of an Infiniband like network, atop Ethernet but where all players are agreeing to behave in an Infiniband like way with Infiniband predictability, where-as RoCE encapsulates Infiniband data but still behaves more like an Ethernet network lacking the coordination of Infiniband. I'm far from certain; it'd be so fun to have some extensive material to go over to really find out.

>The risk with allowing humans to do this is that it’s possible for someone not of sound mind to come to this conclusion.

It seems like lots of people think you can just go to your doctor and be prescribed a cocktail of death because you feel down today. That's not what assisted death programs are like, at all.

There's waiting periods, evaluations by independent doctors and psychiatrists, interviews, etc. to determine your capacity and understanding of the decision. Someone who is not of sound mind is not getting approval for assisted death.

Anyone sufficiently determined enough is going to find a way to die, regardless of what laws or programs are there. These programs don't change that, and they aren't meant to.

Unlike other things that have been moved to rulesets, there's no prominent marker on these policies indicating that they're outdated or no longer considered best practice. Do you have some kind of public indication that these are discouraged in any way?

(As others have pointed out, this isn't even necessarily something that makes sense with CODEOWNERS -- the point of a dependency policy is to not trust human identities at all.)
by jkingsman | 2025-06-11 18:41:13+00:00
Definitely. OCI artifact repos are much closer to the Artifactories of yore (and today) than they are to "it's all docker".

Most major tech companies I've worked with have an internal OCI repo of some kind maintained; internal packages are available and external packages are cached (or blocklisted, in certain situations, which is its own flavor of helpful for security risks) and everything from Docker to Maven to Pip/Poetry/etc. Just Works.

>Targeting low end devices first was a huge mistake.

Personally it was the only reason I ever gave Firefox OS a try.

ZTE started selling the ZTE Open[0] on ebay direct to buyers, super easy for me to obtain even in the US. The phone had miserable specs but still ran fairly well in my opinion, to the point of using it as my daily phone for months.

Eventually it was let down by most of the early Firefox phones not getting the updates to add in features like MMS support.

It was a sad day when they called it quits, and what remains in KaiOS just reminds me we could have had a strong competitor in the budget market.

Because I am practically alone in having avoided addiction, felonies, poverty, becoming handicapped, and/or morbid disabling obesity over the course of my life I have become the "responsible adult" in my family.

Over the last six years it has been my responsibility to oversee the end-of-life care for three people: my paternal grandfather and grandmother, and maternal grandmother.

My grandfather died at home of congestive heart failure. He spent a week on hospice in a medical bed in the living room staring at the ceiling, barely conscious due to the morphine and pain, pissing and shitting himself, as he slowly suffocated to death.

My paternal grandmother lingered for two weeks in the hospital due to an embolism after falling and breaking her hip. Again, two weeks bedridden staring at the ceiling barely conscious due to the morphine and pain, with a machine breathing for her, until diffusion/perfusion stopped enough that no mechanical or pharmaceutical intervention could oxygenate her blood enough and she died.

My maternal grandmother was the worst. Having fought off COPD for the last 20 years it finally became too much. After a year of coughing fits that led to torn muscles and spine/rib fractures leading to her being in a near-constant state of opioid-induced stupor the oxygen and albuterol stopped working and she very slowly and painfully drowned to death. She had been aware of her impending death for about two years and constantly expressed her desire to die on her own terms, but she had made the mistake of moving into an assisted living facility. So she spent the last few years of her life in a recliner hooked up to oxygen as the albuterol treatments got more and more frequent until the point that she would have to wake up every couple of hours 24 hours a day to do them, with coughing fits between them to the point that she would paralyze herself due to neck or back pain and spend six weeks on pain killers, unable to urinate or defecate or dress or eat without assistance, as it became harder and harder to breathe until she mercifully slipped into unconsciousness and died.

We already have medical aid in dying, it's called "giving a little more morphine every time the patient starts gurgling in order to 'soothe their pain'".

In a just world the patient has the choice to accelerate the process.

All men must die.

I will not die suffocating to death as I stare at a blank ceiling, blasted out of my brains on drugs, while a TV blares in the background to cover up the sobs of my family.

In my late sixties I am going to start going to the doctor complaining of back pain, stockpile enough Percocet to kill me, and when the time comes (with good fortune many many decades later) I am going to settle my accounts, write a note with some directions, have a party, and say goodbye.

That's why I'm "for" MAID.

There are plenty of places where it would make sense, actually, but Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are very much not on that list. They are towns surrounded by mountains where once you get off the strip, you may not even run into a gas station or grocery store for a while.

Also, that was 15 miles, not 15 minutes. I think it took us more than an hour to get there with all the traffic. Excellent example of a tourist trap.

A related quirk of the area is its onetime attitude towards free alcohol samples, which I wrote about last year: https://tedium.co/2024/11/10/free-sample-history/

Amazing.

Geothermal has actually become my favorite energy "pie in the sky" source.

If drilling was 10x cheaper, we'd all be using geothermal for everything.

If we could just figure out how to drill a bit better, the world would be a fundamentally different place from the perspective of transportation, housing, and energy.

Why pay to boil water when it's hundreds of degrees right under our feet? Here is a crazy fact: if you go down 15 feel and measure the temperature in the middle of winter even in the frigid cold of Alaska, it will be about 45 F or 8C.

It has amazing consistency, works during night, can give you heat via a ground source heat pump. It has basically zero environmental impact.

I am currently using a stack which consists of:

- Makerkit Next.js/Supabase Starter Kit

- Python backend processing

- BMAD framework for building specification

- Claude Code with Max subscription

- Cursor for in IDE adjustments

I have managed to make some pretty incredible tools, it definitely feels like magic.

I would say I split my time 70% using BMAD as an assistant to build out my scope and clarify what I am trying to do in my own head, then 30% supervising Claude Code.

I have also managed to build out more simple tools using Streamlit to great effect

I have always found this idea of not being smarter somewhat baffling. Education makes people smarter does it not? At least that is one of the claims it makes. Do you mean that a baby hunter gatherer from 25000 years ago would be on average just as capable of learning stuff when integrated into society compared to someone born nowadays? For human beings 25.000 years is something like 1000 generations. There will be subtle vgenetic variations and evolutions on that scale of generations. But the real gains in "smartness" will be on a societal level. Remember: humans without society are not very different from "dumber" animals like apes and dogs. You can see this very well with the cases of heavy neglect. Feral children are very animal-like and quite incapable of learning very effective...

If your Security folk are trying to draw up a wall around the enterprise (prevent using stuff not intentionally mirrored in) but there are no network controls - no IP address based firewalls, no DNS firewalls, no Layer 7 firewalls (like AWS VPC Endpoint Policy or GCP VPC Service Controls) governing access to object storage and the like.... Quite frankly, the implementation is either immature or incompetent.

If you work for an org with restrictive policy but not restrictive network controls, anyone at work could stand up a $5 VPS and break the network control. Or a Raspberry Pi at home and DynDNS. Or a million others.

Don't be stupid and think that a single security control means you don't need to do defense in depth.

> Nevertheless, it is trivial to make any BIOS-based computer at least as secure as the most secure UEFI/secureboot-based computers.

Mmm....no.

I use my own keys and removed vendors keys from my secureboot setup. Hard disk is encrypted and automatically pulls keys from the TPM to boot into a guest OS, which is running something akin to prey. If the hard drive is removed, it can't be read or examined, and you can't replace the HDD with a different OS to get it to boot.

How would you recreate that setup with just a BIOS?

I tried code gen for the first time recently. The generated code look great, was commented and ran perfectly. The results were completely wrong. The code was to calculate the cpu temperature from the Raspberry Pi RP2350 in python. The initial value look about right, then I put my finger on the chip and the temp went down! I assume the model had been trained on broken code. This lead me to think how do they validate code does what it says

This is the truth - my recent work has dragged me into doing exactly this, building hardware "giveaways" to promote SaaS in niche industries, and enabling the backend devs to have an API they can understand to control it.

It has made me wonder why such things haven't been more popular attached to Grafana. For example, take a LED strip and use that as a gauge or similar. Many devs seem to fetishize screens and enjoy extra displays in their environments, while normies (at least the feedback from the recent work) have been telling me they actively want to get away from any screens. OTOH using LED strips rapidly turns anywhere into a vape shop.

A transplant always is a life altering change. You'll be on immunosuppressants for the rest of your life which has a massive impact on your quality of life - and that's _if_ you get a transplant before you die.

I have no idea how I'd react in that situation - but I can understand people who'd rather not. Especially considering that you might not want to take one of the few organs from a person who might be willing to fully commit to that.

That's not possible (yet), you can upload a ROM from the web UI (button in the navbar) but you need to select the platform it belongs to. When we implement hash-based matching with Hasheous (https://hasheous.org/) you'll be able to upload a bunch of ROMs, or throw them into an import folder, and the ones that are detected correctly will be moved to the "right" platform folders.

Well, let's not forget writing his own "medical assessment" for his doctor to sign off.

I never really liked theme parks. They are always noisy, crowded and tacky. When I was in high school we made a family trip to Dollywood on the way to somewhere else. The fact that I remember Dollywood but don't remember our intended destination says a lot.

The British had invaded the Netherlands and burned 130 merchant ships and killed a few old ladies. This was shockingly uncivilized — no one benefits from the burned goods. During war, one may kill soldiers and burn warships, but to burn goods and kill old women? Horrible! So, the Dutch shamed the British by invading in response— and while they destroyed their warships, they very carefully did not hurt anyone or plunder. And here Pepys expresses his shame.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holmes%27s_Bonfire

“It seems very remarkable to me, and of great honour to the Dutch, that those of them that did go on shore to Gillingham, though they went in fear of their lives, and were some of them killed; and, notwithstanding their provocation at Schelling, yet killed none of our people nor plundered their houses, but did take some things of easy carriage, and left the rest, and not a house burned; and, which is to our eternal disgrace, that what my Lord Douglas’s men, who come after them, found there, they plundered and took all away; and the watermen that carried us did further tell us, that our own soldiers are far more terrible to those people of the country-towns than the Dutch themselves.” June 30, 1667
