My name is Theresa Mark, and I live in Ottawa, Canada. I have been a banker for over 17 years, a widow, and a proud mother of one daughter. Earlier this year, I experienced one of the most painful moments of my life when I lost access to my cryptocurrency wallet after falling victim to an online scam. All my hard-earned savings disappeared, and I felt completely devastated.

For weeks, I searched for a genuine solution and reached out to several so-called recovery experts, but none could help. Just when I was about to lose hope, I came across Fixer Wallet Retrieval — and that was the turning point.

From the very first conversation, I could tell I was dealing with a professional and trustworthy team. They listened to my story with empathy, guided me through every step of the process, and explained how they would use forensic blockchain analysis and transaction tracking to trace and recover my lost assets. Their approach was clear, transparent, and absolutely professional.

Great example of Newspeak you have there. "the press, the proxy of the elite and wealthy" will have no problem signing this, so this is not an attack on them. You even acknowledge this by saying

> by "The Press" we're not talking about newswriters but organizations who are large, evil, and morally bankrupt

So the logical conclusion must be that the GP meant something else than your self-serving redefinition. Yet, you still choose to attack the post as if it is completely wrong, and the attack on the press is fully justified?

Sometimes I see a post about sorting algorithms online. Some people seem to benefit from reading about these things, but often, I find there isn't much new information for me. That's OK, because I know somebody somewhere benefits from knowing this.

It is your decision to make this a circlejerk of musings about how the company must be run by amateurs. Whatever crusade you're fighting in vividly criticising them is not valuable at all. People need to learn and share so we can all improve, stop distracting from that point.

Why would you disdain someone who finds enjoyment in their work?

But don't worry, making art is not always a joyride, it can be hard work. For me pesonally, writing software is a breeze compared to writing an orchestra score or the last days of a theatre production.

Also, the idea of the poor and suffering artist is a cliché. Many famous artists actually came from wealthy families or had generous financial support from friends or patreons. It doesn't make them lesser artists.
Which AI Voice Agents to use in 2025?
by Olivia8 | 2025-10-15 13:35:17+00:00
AI voice agents in 2025 are characterized by increased naturalness, advanced AI capabilities, and broader integration into various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and retail. They leverage advanced NLP and LLMs to understand and respond to user requests with greater accuracy and context. On my experience, platforms like Voiceflow, Synthflow and Coldi allow users to build AI voice agents without coding, making them accessible to a wider range of users, offering intuitive interfaces and drag-and-drop functionality, enabling rapid prototyping and deployment. Which Ai voice agents do you use?

Content: "Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević."

I had to read up, and...my goodness.

Apparently the US bombed a neutral Cambodia secretly to incite Vietnam's neighboring countries and put pressure on them, killing 30k to 150k civilians. This caused unrest, and gave way to Khmer Rouge to sieze power, using "defense against the US" as propoganda.

There exist a number of possibilities, all of which are equally likely

1. they are lying. The most obvious one. It's legal and is expected that law enforcement lie in the United States.

2. defendant was so dumb he had the funds in a crypto exchange account

3. Law enforcement has no idea what keys or crypto is. Also likely, law enforcement in the US is not required to be competent.

4. defendant was so dumb he landed on a flight in the US. This would be exceptionally stupid

5. The US military or the intelligence community either coerced the keys out of him or just beat the keys out of him. There are no jurisdictional issues with this approach. From what I understand this guy isn't very popular in any country, so few countries would care. Even fewer would want to publicly discuss how their sovereignty was violated

6. A random member of the criminal organization had access to most but not all of the keys. He showed up at a US embassy and said "well I did lots of bad stuff. I'd like to disappear now & not at a location named Guantanmo! How about we cut a deal"

My personal bet is on #3. It's effectively impossible for anyone to prove they don't have the keys. The only person who could do that would the defendant, who has no interest in doing so.

You're misunderstanding my point, the Sec-Fetch-Site is not a replacement for CSRF tokens (be they cookies (classic CSRF tokens, auth tokens, JWTs; all of these can be made to work for the client to prove to the server that they are allow to submit a form (and came from the "right" form), some obviously easier than others), a header (such as X-CSRF-Token - Ruby on Rails, Laravel, Django; X-XSRF-Token - AngularJS; CSRF-Token - Express.js (csurf middleware); X-CSRFToken - Django), a TOTP code, etc), but the Sec-Fetch-Site header is a defence in depth mechanism, not a replacement for CSRF (however that is achieved, classic cookie mechanism or other).

Apple is not in the business of selling productivity software. Even their desktops/MacOS segment is an insignificant historical afterthought by now.

To a first approximation, Apple is a manufacturer of locked-down handheld entertainment appliances whose primary function is to psychologically condition children into siphoning off money from their inattentive parents. There's no reason to suspect their vision for the AVP to diverge significantly from this user story.

Whose weapons are Ukraine using? Who trained Ukraine how to use these weapons? Where did Ukraine get the majority of the money that it’s using to blow up buildings in Russia and kill Russian soldiers? Where is the intelligence that Ukraine uses to determine its targets come from? Do you seriously think Ukraine has satellites in space monitoring?

The answer to every one of those questions is the United States.

> 160 GB LPDDR5 is ~$1,200 retail so the card could be sold for $2,000.

Prices are set by what the market will bear, not the lowest possible price where they could break even on the BOM and manufacturing costs.

The high cost of the LPDDR5X should be a clue that this is going to be in the $10K range, not the $2K range.

Not the one you asked, but since I share the exact same feeling, and for what it's worth: I used to reach for Qt when I needed a complex desktop app, the kind of app with a high density of widgets, controls and information, great care for UI but little for aestetic. QML felt to me like it was going in the direction of web development, up to a point where you'd be better off having a separate front-end and back-end, all in the name of more eye candy.

I understand their worries, but it was not my need (and it felt patheticaly hopeless). When I need a web app, I go for a web app

The M5 MacBook Pro still gets the Broadcom WiFi chip but the M5 iPad Pros get the N1 and C1X (Sweet).

All in all, apple is doing some incredible things with hardware.

Software teams at apple really need to get their act together. The M1 itself is so powerful that nobody really needs to upgrade that for most things most people do on their computers. Tahoe however makes my M1 Air feel sluggish doing the exact same tasks ive been last couple of years. I really hope this is not intentional from Apple to make me upgrade. That would be a big let down.

It seems this generation focuses more on GPU and AI acceleration rather than CPU. The M5 chip allows Apple Vision Pro to render 10% more pixels and operate at up to 120 Hz. It delivers up to four times the peak GPU compute performance compared with M4, provides 30% higher graphics performance, and offers 15% faster multithreaded CPU performance.

It would depend a lot on just how much people value working or producing to get luxuries. I would guess people trying to do something like bag a wife/girlfriend would value them a lot if they were trying to impress a certain segment of most sought after mates and thus would man the machines to gain the prestige, but yeah there are plenty of people out there that are happy to just have necessities and then go skateboarding or smoking crack or whatever and presumably that would significantly lower production of necessities produced by those people.

The fact is most developers in most companies have very little choice. Many medium to large companies (1k-50k employees) the CTO gets wined and dined by AWS/Azure/Oracle and they decide to move to that cloud. They bring in their solutions architects and do the training. The corporate architects for the divisions set the goals. So the rank and file developers get told that they have to make this work in AWS using RDS and they have almost zero power over this choice.

A lot of shadow artists in this thread seem upset that a relatively tiny bit of money is supporting some people that chose a difficult life producing art over a stable career.

If I had a choice between some of my tax money supporting artists versus lighting my money on fire to pay an army of bureaucrats doing not much of anything, I'll always choose the artists. I've seen contracts for more money that do a lot less for society.

While I don't use Facebook, my YouTube feed is similar.

I don't subscribe to anything in YouTube and nor do I log in. All I watch is a few music videos a week, 80s electronic. The front page that seeks to identify me via fingerprinting and darkpatterning my browser rarely if ever has any music videos let alone the stuff I watch, instead it has exactly as posted by OP with less young women and almost everything hate - fake or real crimes clipped to incense, video jockeys obsessed with race.

The algorithm is actively creating a hateful, fearful populace.

You're attacking video games and the like a bit, but the core of your argument is sound I think - there's 24 hours in a day, a percentage will be spent on taking care of your needs, what percentage that is depends on various factors but most anthropologists agree that that number was much lower in ancient civilizations. People get bored and when they get bored they get creative. Polishing a rock would be one of the things they could end up doing.
by keiferski | 2025-10-15 13:38:54+00:00
Wouldn't your reasoning just apply to basically every situation, until you arrive at the most "virtuous" people receiving money?

I don't interpret this action by the government as bestowing virtue upon artists. It's just a way to fund something considered important culturally. It's not supposed to be fair or just, it's just a way to ensure that culturally-valued things are maintained without having to rely on the market to fund them.

> lack of anticheat support.

I just redid my windows machine to get at TPM2.0 and secure boot for Battlefield 6. I did use massgrave this time because I've definitely paid enough Microsoft taxes over the last decade. I thought I would hate this new stuff but it runs much better than the old CSM bios mode.

Anything not protected by kernel level anti cheats I play on my steam deck now. Proton is incredible. I am shocked that games like Elden Ring run this well on a linux handheld.
by hylaride | 2025-10-15 13:39:33+00:00
Some things never change. I remember ~20 years ago a bunch of expensive F5s suddenly showing up to our offices because the CTO and enterprise architects were convinced that irules could solve all their performance problems for something that wasn't even cacheable (gaming results) and would have shoved too much of our logic into the underpowered CPUs on them.

They were a much nicer, if overpriced, load balancing alternative to the Cisco Content Switch we were using, though.

> Why does it matter?

Because to reverse it you need to have a functionally complete baseline to compare it to. For the Librem that baseline is what it ships with (PureOS). For nearly every other device on the planet, that is Android.

By them focusing on creating fully functional free drivers to swap out with the non-free driver blobs on Android, they will have created a reference source that can be adapted for any other OS.

Like the article says, I think serverless has it's place, but I don't think it's for most applications. I can't see myself _ever_ using serverless services as a core part of my application for pretty much any startup, if I can avoid it. The infrastructure overhead is actually worse, IMO.

Everything is so platform specific and it's much stranger to test and develop against locally. Each platform has a different way to test, and the abstraction layers that exist (unless this has changed recently) always had pitfalls, since there are no true standards.

I'd much rather have a docker image as my deliverable "executable" so I can test, but still abstract away some stuff, like environment setup. Giving me a minimal Linux environment and filesystem feels like the most comfortable level of abstraction for me to develop well and also deploy and run in production effectively. I can also run that on demand or (most commonly) run that as a server that sits and waits for requests.

I have used VR headsets since the original Oculus Development Kit Mk.1. It is until the Quest 3 that VR feels like a compelling product. If you can try it, I would suggest you do so.

Keep in mind, that the Quest 3 has been discontinued in favour of the cheaper and inferior Quest 3S. It still has some good qualities, but the best one is no doubt the Quest 3.

Another thing is that to save on costs, they all ship with a very inadequate headband. For comfort, it is imperative to get another solution, either the (expensive) elite headstrap or a (cheaper) 3rd party one.

I am wondering if Apple's focus is off lately with this drive for AI. So far all they are showing in that presentation is that I can have

"the ability to transform 2D photos into spatial scenes in the Photos app, or generating a Persona — operate with greater speed and efficiency."

And by making Apple AI (which is something I do not use for many reasons, but mainly because of Climate Change) their focus, I am afraid they are losing and making their operating Systems worse.

For instance, Liquid Glass, the mess I was lucky enough to uninstall before they put in the embargo against doing so, is, well, a mess. An Aplha release in my opinion which I feel was a distraction from their lack of a robust AI release.

So by blowing money on the AI gold rush that they were too late for, will they ultimately ruin their products across the board?

I am currently attempting to sell my iPhone 16E and my M1 Macbook Air to move back to Linux because of all of this.

I'm very confused.

In the picture right at the top of the article, the top of the bell curve is using 8 agents in parallel, and yada yada yada.

And then they go on to talk about how they're using 9 agents in parallel at a cost of 1000 dollars a month for a 300k line (personal?) project?

I dunno, this just feels like as much effort as actually learning how to write the code yourself and then just doing it, except, at the end... all you have is skills for tuning models that constantly change under you.

And it costs you 1000 dollars a month for this experience?

What kind of person sees a claim like "No, not all major breakthroughs were done at private companies. Like the internet, for example" and immediately feels the need to tell them private companies are doing stuff?

Are you not reading the reply chains before commenting? What motivates you to interject with information that is meaningless?

The only thing I can think of is that you've voted for the people who are currently slashing the funding and have to continuously try to convince yourself it's okay.

Pretty cool. Just two servos per wing, with one shared BLDC motor to provide the power to the strokes. That's comparable to what normal fixed wing drones have. Extreme mechanical complexity though.

I can't see this being practical, but it makes for one hell of a tech demo. Wish there was footage available. It feels really incomplete without a video of this bird taking off, flying and landing.

“I spoke to a startup founder who raised $2 million in funding based on "user growth" metrics that he later discovered were 80% bots. He is now trapped, forced to pretend everything is fine because admitting the truth could jeopardize his company and his relationship with his investors.”

If you feel trapped now, just wait until you're in prison!

High end gaming computers have far more memory bandwidth in the GPU, though. The CPU doesn’t need more memory bandwidth for most non-LLM tasks. Especially as gaming computers commonly use AMD chips with giant cache on the CPU.

The advantage of the unified architecture is that you can use all of the memory on the GPU. The unified memory architecture wins where your dataset exceeds the size of what you can fit in a GPU, but a high end gaming GPU is far faster if the data fits in VRAM.

You say that like SQLite is a for profit company competing for market share or one of several rival projects in a corporation trying to not be canceled.

It's an open sourced project! It's public domain!

If you make an open source project that is heavily used and widely lauded for a quarter century before being supplanted by a newer solution that's better, do you know what that is?

A success! You did it! You made a thing that was useful and loved!

Nothing lasts forever; there's nothing wrong with a project filling a niche and then gracefully fading away when that niche goes away.

> As an EU citizen the biggest issue for me is that even if I bought a fairphone with grapheneOS, it might as well be a "dumb" phone. This is because all the apps to make our daily lives non-annoying require the Google Play or the Apple App store.

This is a common misconception I see around here, probably because people think Graphene is yet another custom rom like LineageOS, and haven't actually tried it for themselves.

GrapheneOS supports Google Play (it ships with an app that lets you install it in one click), it does NOT give you root access, and it goes through the extra effort of implementing the obscure security features that banking apps require. I won't say 100%, but maybe 99% of apps on Google Play will work on Graphene, including banking apps. This compatibility, along with the added security and privacy features are why it's such a big deal. It's not just hype around the latest shiny custom ROM.

Re: "VR for working on a plane" - you could look into XR glasses like the ones from XReal or Viture.

I've been considering a pair for myself after hearing good feedback from some friends, and seeing some good reviews online.

The latest versions have head tracking so the virtual screen remains "pinned" in your view.

They're also much smaller and easier to carry compared to a full VR headset, and they can plug into almost any device (laptop, tablet, phone) and just show up as an external monitor.

That defeats the point of asserts. Now you have two copies to keep in sync with each other, whereas asserts are inline with the rest of your code and you have one file that can be built with or without them. They could use a separate tool to produce the assert free version, but that adds tooling beyond what Go provides. Nearly every mainstream language allows you to do this without any extra steps, except Go.

This is not the first time this has happened in Apple’s history. The transition from the 68k architecture to the PowerPC brought major performance improvements, but Apple’s software didn’t take full advantage of it. If I remember correctly, even after the PowerPC switch, core elements of the classic Mac OS still ran in emulation as late as Mac OS 9. Additionally, the classic Mac OS lacked protected memory and preemptive multitasking, leading to relatively frequent crashes. Taligent and Copland were attempts to address these issues, but they both faced development hell, culminating with the purchase of NeXT and the development of Mac OS X. But by the time Mac OS X was released, PowerPC was becoming less competitive than the x86, culminating with the Intel switch in 2006. At this point it was Apple’s software that distinguished Macs from the competition, which remained the case until the M1 Macs were released five years ago.
