Agree it's never going to happen. The last time people hit the streets for police accountability the political backlash got us a convict in the white house. Democrats are now fully cowed on the topic and Republicans cheer any police overreach.

For the powerful in both government and business there is no rule of law anymore. The "law and order" slogan only means a boot stamping on little people's face forever, the powerful can break the law with impunity.

The problem is that the population which is not doing physical activity is the population uniquely at risk for overtraining. You can't put a couch potato out and have them run, run, run without them ending up with shin splints, stress fractures, and all the other issues that come from pushing too hard, too fast.

Saying we need to do more physical activity is not carte blanche to run yourself into the ground. No decent running coach would recommend running every day anyway. 3-4 times a week, and then let your body rest and recover. Training does not make you healthy or stronger. Recovering from the training makes you healthy and stronger.

I've created a MkDocs plugin that makes it super simple to add Uptime Kuma status badges to your documentation. Instead of writing long URLs, you can use simple shorthand syntax:

{{uptime id=1}} -> converts to a full status badge

{{uptime id=2 type=uptime hours=24}} -> shows 24h uptime stats

Key features:

- Simple shorthand syntax that's easy to remember

- Supports all Uptime Kuma badge types (status, uptime, ping, response times, SSL cert expiry)

- Works with any Uptime Kuma instance

- MIT licensed

Perfect for teams using MkDocs who want to show real-time status of their services right in the documentation.

I'm easily getting $10K/month of value from my Anthropic subscription. (Rough estimate of how much I would have paid someone else to create the things I've (co)created with Claude Code so far.) If this is a bubble, I just hope I can finish all the projects I want to finish before it pops (or before they raise their prices to $9K/month because they read this comment.)

The capital can be low. Vs. the article notes that these two guys have 75 miles of fiber installed (to 1,500 potential-customer homes) and 15 local employees. Vs. currently monthly revenues of about $10K.

Yeah, obviously these guy's long prior experience - pulling fiber for other ISP's - was another critical cornerstone of their ability to go from idea to build-out.

Watching power draw on my Leaf with LeafSpy, the AC seems to use between 500-1000W (maybe more sometimes, but that's just off the top of my head from a few times running it while driving).

At the low end maybe achievable with a full rooftop covered in solar panels, but probably not adequate at 1kW+.

The belief in a just world is a collective coping mechanism that protects us from the ugly truth of cosmic injustice and the reality that the only justice we have in the world is that which we make.

Often the people who benefit from injustice are the very ones we've tasked with creating justice. It's easier to believe justice will appear on its own than to face the mess of making it ourselves.

Not sure what this is adding to the discussion, but eliminating cash bail has been a success in Illinois. That’s why you don’t hear the right talking about it anymore. Crime in Chicago has fallen every year since it went into effect.

There's a good journal article that compares different perspectives and measurements for zones, that might help (if you're interested in the science!): https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijspp/aop/a...

Threshold test might help you dial it in, and it doesn't have to be in a lab (though that would be most accurate) -- you could do a workout effort to estimate your max sustainable heart rate for an hour, then calculate zones based on that threshold HR (i.e. my Garmin calculates based on % LTHR, where zone2 ends up being 83-89% of LTHR).

It's also not an exact science - it's a spectrum and shifts day to day depending on lots of conditions!

I am reaching out to them on LinkedIn and clearly stating I am doing product research. In some messages, I mention that I am not selling anything.

I get mostly I am not interested reply from sales execs, whereas VP of marketing or director of marketing never reply.

How do you get these people talk to you?

We are boostrapping a SaaS targeted towards Sales Reps but it is SO SO hard to make these people talk to you.

I have offered Lunch and coffee as an incentive. However, reply rate is so damn low.

I would love to know strategies that worked for you.

It seems pretty wild that we would even think about deliberate climate engineering. We're dealing with an incredibly complex system, the only place we have to live, and one where "harmless" actions before have had devastating unforeseen effects decades later. The lesson we should have learned we need to stop pumping stuff into the atmosphere and oceans until something bad happens, not "let's pump more stuff into the atmosphere."

Some random small group of people get to take these risks for all humanity? No thanks.

MCP implementation is trivial - I agree. But A2A will require a mesh like structure. Meaning its not just about north/south traffic. It will be about east/west traffic as agents coordinate with each other. That communication and coordination among agents will need to be robust and that's where a sidecar proxy built on top of Envoy will offer certain properties in a first-class way that Kong can't easily support today.

This was the insight behind Envoy's initial design. Handle north/south and east/west traffic equally well as a universal data plane.

Your first link is (in my opinion) highly biased in the samples they choose, they hired maintainers from open-source repos (people with multi years of experience, on their specific repo).

So indeed, IF you are in that case: Many years on the same project with multiple years experience then it is not usefull, otherwise it might be. This means it might be usefull for junior and for experienced devs who are switching projects. It is a tool like any other, indeed if you have a workflow that you optimized through years of usage it won't help.

That's probably quite a popular viewpoint, shared by many on the left, too. Almost all my left-leaning friends agree (as do I). I think one problem here is that "that's racist" is a very powerful tool to shut down criticism. If you need to defend yourself with "I'm not racist" then you've kind of already lost, right?

Of course they themselves do exactly the same thing with "that's antisemitic!" to shut down criticism.

Obviously there is plenty of racism and antisemitism around and it's fine to call that out – I have done so myself. But it's such an easy and powerful tool to misuse. I don't really know how to solve this.

All of that said, Andreesen is just on another level. He complains about the last 60 years. That's going back to 1965. I'm not American and wasn't alive at the time, but it's not my impression that before 1965 there was a great harmonious environment of peace, love, and understanding between different ethnic groups in the United States. But maybe I'm wrong? I don't know.

It's of course just outright bizarre to take the end of segregation and Jim Crow laws as the starting point of "DEI gone mad".

People like Andreesen just latch on to "DEI" to spout their racist bollocks. Whatever he says bears no relation to the excesses of "DEI". He doesn't go too far in the other direction, because he's not on the same axis that we are. We could disagree on some things here, but there are a few core truth we (hopefully) agree on such as "all people are equal, regardless of ethnicity" and "talking about "our people" vs. them is not good, especially when it comes to black people, who have been here for hundreds of years". If you don't recognise those base values then you're just operating on an entirely different axis.

This is an incredibly limited understanding of what "politics" entails and also seems to be primarily informed by the outcome of the US political system.

Most politicians outside the narrow world of US national (or otherwise high-profile) politics have very little contact with fundraising or advertising and few will ever give a speech to more than a handful of people. I.e. most parliamentarian democracies are chuck full of politicians that even most of their direct constituents couldn't name with a gun to their heads, even at the national level.

In these kind of systems, actual expertise is really important and political parties will cultivate subject-matter experts and provide them with secure seats or list positions without necessarily putting them into front-row politics. It's just the smart thing to do, if you actually want to have any effect after winning an election.

If you would just extend your quote, like, a couple more sentences, you would see why I said it's a death camp.

That's a neat trick though, including a quote of just a tiny part to give the impression I'm talking out of my ass. Doesn't really work however, because I actually have eyeballs and I think most people here do.

We can just... you know... look, like, 2 inches up.

Very curious how we'll look back on Google spending 2 billion dollars to "license IP" and hire a handful of people.

If there's 47m software engineers in the world, at $200/month, and 50% gross profit that's a $56 billion TAM. Not crazy to think it's more if we include the adjacent space of analyst roles that write software (sql, advanced excel, etc).

They'll have to crush it to make a $2 billion acquihire look reasonable, but it's possible.

You are welcomed to your point of view, but for me while one agent is finding an obscure bug, I have another agent optimising or refactoring, while I am working on something else. Its hard to believe I am deluded in thinking I am spending more time on a task.

I think the research does highlight that training is important. I don't throws devs agents and expect them to be productive.

The big customer-visible feature is that every machine on their LAN can be globally reachable. For ISPs that absolutely cannot get enough IPv4 space to give their customers even a single globally-reachable IPv4 address, this would be the only way to get any global IP space. IME, edge routers that are intended for networking noobs to use often set up their firewalls so that they block inbound unsolicited IPv6 traffic, but (unlike with IPv4 NAT) there's the option of opening up multiple hosts to some or all inbound traffic.

Another feature that I find to be pretty stupid (but that some folks seem to really like) are IPv6 "privacy" addresses. Because each host usually is assigned an IPv6 address in a subnet that's 64 bits wide, most mainstream OS's have configured their IPv6 address autoconfigurator to set one stable, "permanent" address, and to set a parade of periodically changing "temporary" addresses. The OS is usually configured to prefer the permanent address when software asks for a socket to listen on (and sockets that handle replies to that listen socket), and those temporary addresses are preferred for sockets that initiate outbound traffic. The idea is that this is supposed to confuse tracking, but I'm very skeptical of its efficacy in the real world.

Finally, a customer can also usually get enough IP space to make globally-reachable subnets on their LAN. Depending how the ISP has configured things, a customer can get between four and 256 subnets. These subnets are handy to provide networks that provide globally-reachable IP addresses, but that can be easily logically isolated from the rest of the LAN by the router.

> And I still don't understand where Facebook makes money. :)

If that's a genuine question: Facebooks sells ads, information and influence (eg. to political parties). It's a very profitable enterprise. In 2024 Meta made $164B in revenue, and they're still growing at ~16% year-over-year.

First, the plurality of illegal immigrants in the US are people who entered the country legally but have overstayed their visas. There's not a lot of sneaking into a different person's country to do work.

Second, there is no "legal line" for immigration. The closest you get is that some visas where conversion to a permanent residency (green card) has an annual quota that is so heavily oversubscribed that there is a permanent backlog which stretches, in the most extreme cases, to over 20 years long.

Third, even when you're dealing with the legal immigration processes, that process is a bureaucratic hell that I don't wish on anybody. If you don't have anybody willing to descend into paperwork hell for you, then there is no way for you to immigrate to the US.

No, nobody ever says “I’m going to higher you” as a way to indicate they are promoting you. Not in the military, not in non-profits, not in the government, and not in any private or public business in the US.

“Higher” is a homophone with “hire” and “hire” already has a critical role in reference to career management.

At this point I can only assume you haven’t worked somewhere where English is the spoken language.

> Imo, estate taxes are more immoral. Why should the state be allowed a cut of my private assets?

To prevent family dynasties from building more and more economic power over time and threatening the state in the future due to the forces of compound interest. To be fair, most family dynasties don't do this, but others can wreck exceptional havoc just by wanting to, due to the generational power they've amassed. The damage they can do is further accelarated by them lacking understanding of how people without generational wealth live.

We already see this happening in our society as most media organisations are run by billionaires or multi-millionaires. News organisations are run less and less by journalists or normal people and the headlines are set more and more by people with very keen and niche vested interests.

This specific issue is being played out in real-time in the Murdoch succession as he attempts to leave the propaganda firm in the hands of his most idelogically similar successor. Yet the majority of his children see the world differently from their father and are challenging this. On one side we have natural break up and change occuring due to generational shifts, and on the other the strong desire of the ancestor wanting their legacy to remain unspoilt after their death.

Oh, that reminds me. When I had an Android (I already regret my iPhone) I used termux to write a very basic script to rsync data to machines and do so based on if connected to WiFi (with whitelisted SSIDs). Pretty easy to write and then schedule a cron job. Can be nice to put that onto other peoples devices and give them automated backups. Makes it FAR easier to do the 321 backup strategy. Also pretty easy to build a tracking app for a lost phone that way (like if haven't connected to home WiFi in x days send you an email). Both work really well when also using tailscale.

Data and data models are not the same.

Sharing data is just totally undefined for the overwhelming majority of all data in the world, because there just isn't any standard for the format the data should be in.

Data models are even harder, because whereas data is produced by the world, and data formats are produced to intentionally be somewhat generalized, data models are generally produced in the context of a piece of software.

Realistically climate catastrophe seems worse to me yes than living as a peasant or ancient Egyptian. Our choices aren’t so limited however. But if you mean we should look at our standard of living today and appreciate them, let’s examine that with some nuance.

Since 1980 pay and productivity have been decoupled in the global north such that the wealthy have continued to grow richer while the median worker hasn’t seen their real wages rise, despite being more productive. In fact much of our rise in standard of living prior to 1980 is not due to the allowing concentrated wealth to run rampant but people fighting the wealthy for things like worker rights, democratic rights, social programs.

If we look at the global south on the other hand since 1980 we see a great rise out of poverty. This has happened primarily due to China’s socialist policies which have pulled 800 million people out of poverty.

Allowing a small wealthy minority to run one’s country is undemocratic as they are able to use their outsized money and power to control the government and further grow their own wealth. It’s precisely why we face problems like authoritarianism, climate change, and austerity - toxic transitions all funded by monied interests.

Does the world really seem like it’s continuing to progress to you? Is our choice really so limited as either ‘hand over the reigns of society to billionaires’ or ‘revert to medieval peasantry’? Consider the improvements in the quality of life we’ve seen in the past century. People came together and fought for those improvements. They didn’t trust and depend on their monied masters to drop crumbs their way. That never happens. They fought for better lives and achieved them.

Except we're talking about the state's own license plate data, not stealing someone else's data. Since it is California's data, California can complain that Oakland police shared it impermissibly. (Good luck with that!) But that doesn't create a constitutional issue.

"Brute force" is only held back by economics and hardware limitations.

There are still massive gains to be had from scaling up - but frontier training runs have converged on "about the largest model that we can fit into our existing hardware for training and inference". Going bigger than that comes with non-linear cost increases. The next generations of AI hardware are expected to push that envelope.

The reason why major AI companies prioritize things like reasoning modes and RLVR over scaling the base models up is that reasoning and RLVR give real world performance gains cheaper and faster. Once scaling up becomes cheaper, or once the gains you can squeeze out of RLVR deplete, they'll get back to scaling up once again.
