Haven't worked in a commercial kitchen, and I've been wrong before (in this chain, no less), but how would the water be hotter without a heating element? Consumer dishwashers are plumbed into the hot water, so it can't be a difference in a direct hook-up. Without it's own heating element, I wouldn't assume it has its own built-in and ready-on-demand hot water tank, either.

My last guess is more frequent cycles, meaning hotter water already at the spigot / dishwasher outlet, similar to the consumer recommendation to run the hot water for a minute prior to starting the dishwasher?

Plastics / tupperware were actually what I had in mind lol

> But I've just checked the Mikrotik hardware list, I don't see indoor APs that are PoE-powered and have more than one Ethernet port.

a) Who said anything about that? In the four comments prior to this one, that set of requirements wasn't brought up.

b) Yes, you are absolutely overlooking something. On the Products page, try expanding the "Features" widget of the "Product filters" section, checking the "PoE-in" option, and hitting the "Use filters" button. Even the AP I mentioned with the 10Gbit SFP+ cage has PoE in.

I'm not against adding new instructions. I love new instructions, even considered trying to push for a few myself.

What I'm against is the idea that it's easy to add instructions. Or more the idea that it's a good idea to start with the minimum subset of instructions and add them later as needed.

It seems like a good idea; Save yourself some upfront work. Be able to respond to actual real-world needs rather than trying to predict them all in advance. But IMO it just doesn't work in the real world.

The fact that distros get stuck on the older spec is the exact problem that drives me mad, and it's not even their fault. For example, compilers are forced generate some absolute horrid ARMv8.0-A exclusive load/store loops when it comes to atomics, yet there are some excellent atomic instructions right there in ARMv8.1-A, which most ARM SoCs support.

But they can't emit them because that code would then fail on the (substantial) minority of SoCs that are stuck on ARMv8.0-A. So those wonderful instructions end up largely unused on ARMv8 android/linux, simply because they arrived 11 years ago instead of 14 years ago.

At least I can use them on my Mac, or any linux code I compile myself.

-------

There isn't really a solution. Ecosystems getting stuck on increasingly outdated baseline is a necessary evil. It has happened to every single ecosystem to some extent or another, and it will happen to the various RISC-V ecosystems too.

I just disagree with the implication that the RISC-V approach was the right approach [1]. I think ARMv8.0-A did a much better job, including almost all the instructions you need in the very first version, if only they had included proper atomics.

[1] That is, not the right approach for creating a modern, commercially relevant ISA. RISC-V was originally intended as more of an academic ISA, so focusing on minimalism and "RISCness" was probably the best approach for that field.

I liked the ideas at the link. About 15 years ago I came up with something similar, though not as sophisticated. I needed to lose a lot of weight. However I didn't want to follow a standard calorie-counting diet because I had been reading that many studies find they don't work over the long term, at least for most people, and besides I have no will-power when it comes to food.

So I came up with the idea of eating all I want, but just make it mostly food that is filling but reasonably low in calories. So this is what I did, and I lost 50 lb, and have kept it off ever since. I call it the low will-power diet. I don't know that it would would work for everyone, but I bet it would work with a lot of people who find standard calorie-counting diets don't. Also, it seems to me the Mediterranean diet is a version of this.

Their hardware used to be atrocious and software was the only thing they would get praised on. Now they've gotten lazy in the software department and outstanding in the hardware department.

Side note, rossmann has stopped talking about Apple because he is not longer focused on Apple repair and is turning his attention to other causes not because of apple's "repairability" changes which are still a token gesture.

I bought the hardware, for the price they chose to sell it at. Why should I be obligated to use any of their services, if I can avoid it?

I'm not sure if your comment is satire. So I'll respond as is.

"Not providing potential further income" is not "robbing"... what is being stolen from them? Something they never had in the first place? When I lose a bet I willingly entered, am I being "robbed" of the gains?

Furthermore, who is losing if I go to F-Droid to install an open source app people wrote with no expectation of income? If Google had a better app, I would have installed it from there. Too bad everything is riddled with ads detracting from the core purpose.

Are the solar panels and EVs 'dumped' or are they just actually cheaper to produce? I would argue its the latter. Sure there is some state investment in the supply chain, so it is in Europe. Sure the are EV subsidies and green energy subsidies, but so does Europe have them.

Fundamentally BYD cars are cheaper because China has localized the complete supply Chain or has very good raw materials import and local refinement capability. BYD invested themselves and spend 20-25 years vertically integrating while European companies put out huge dividend and miss major technology trends.

The EV market in China was hyper competitive with a huge number of competitors and the subsidies were strategically phased out to turn the industry competitive rather then relaying on protection.

The idea that China has enough money do 'dump' products in literally ever sector that people accuse it of 'dumping' AND at the same time have enough money for massive infrastructure programs at home seems like coping to me.

Same, but games run uncompressed assets as an optimization measure to trade disk usage for CPU usage, depending on which is the bottleneck for their particular game (iiuc)

So it'd be surprising to me if a developer chose to use uncompressed/lightly compressed assets, and compressing them caused performance to increase; because you're intentionally choosing the tradeoff in the opposite direction the developer did

Of course, there are game developers that are less technical and may not have knowingly made that tradeoff in which case all bets are off, but the games made by those developers tend not to be the kind that require beefy machines to run at 60fps+

Browse the web with Tor via an up-to-date Firefox. You will run into this page over and over again. Speaking from experience, don't feel like looking it up on CF's docs.

edit: Just ran into the same page on Chromium 141.0.7390.122 without Tor or a VPN, but with NoScript, JShelter, and uBlock extensions enabled. It looks like JShelter + NoScript can trigger it.

This is the page you get:

The last line links here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-challenges/#bro...

Disabling JShelter and allowing JS lets me use the site properly.

I still feel varying the prompt text, number of tries, and varying strictness combined with only showing the result most liked dilute most of the value in these test. It would be better if there was one prompt 8/10 human editors understood and implemented correctly and then every model got 5 generation attempts with that exact prompt on different seeds or something. If it were about "who can create the best image with a given model" then I'd see it more, but most of it seems aimed at preventing that sort of thing and it ends up in an awkward middle zone.

E.g. Gemini 2.5 Flash is given extreme leeway with how much it edits the image and changes the style in "Girl with Pearl Earring" only to have OpenAI gpt-image-1 do a (comparatively) much better job yet still be declared failed after 8 attempts, while having been given fewer attempts than Seedream 4 (passed) and less than half the attempts of OmniGen2 (which still looks way farther off in comparison).

I wrote a long comment but refreshed by accident before I could post it, so here we go again:

I'll write a post when I finish Pine Town, but I don't know what I could say about Codex in it. I think a big issue is that I don't know what others don't know, as the way I use LLMs (obviously) feels natural to me. Here are some tips that you may or may not already know:

* Reset the context as often as you can. LLMs like short contexts, so when you reach a point where the information has converged into something (e.g. the LLM has done a lot of work and you want it to change one of the details), reset the context, summarize what you want, and continue.

* Give the LLM small tasks that are logically coherent. Don't give it large, sprawling, open-ended tasks, but also don't give it chunks so tiny that it doesn't know what they're for.

* Explain the problem in detail, and don't dictate a solution. The LLM, like a person, needs to know why it's doing what it's doing, and maybe it can recommend better solutions.

* Ask it to challenge you. If you try to shoehorn the LLM too much, it might go off the rails trying to satisfy an impossible request. I've had a few times where it did crazy things because I didn't realize the thing I was asking for wasn't actually possible with the way the project was set up.

That's what I can think of off the top of my head, but maybe I'll write a general "how to work with LLMs" post. I don't think there's anything specifically different about Codex, and there must be a million such posts already, so I don't know if anyone will find value in the above... For me, it Just Worked™, but maybe that's just because I stumbled upon some specific technique that most people don't use.
by Redster | 2025-10-29 01:57:54+00:00
Upvoted your comment. I totally agree.

I'm trying to ask something slightly different, I think. If I'm trying to have ultimate anonymity, I know that I can do things that actually expose myself. I don't want to be a giant beacon saying "I'M DOING SOMETHING SECRET".

I know almost nothing about Tor, but with radios, if you don't have the right setup and usage, encrypted traffic is easily detectable, just not as easily decrypted. So, if you are dumb, you'll broadcast *very loudly* your location, that you don't want people to know what you are doing, and other data. If I were using radios and wanted my communications to be untraceable, I would use some very specific measures and avoid others.

I'm more asking, in what cases is Tor helpful and in what cases are you worse off for using it? And I was trying to give a use-case that wasn't just advertisers.

Having a distinctive style is also going to become increasingly rare in the age of LLMs. I see it with people at work already. They have no style. They learn very little. They get something to work but have no ability to discern whether it is a “good way” of doing it or simply “a way” of doing it. They have little interest in how or why things are built. I get the sense that they have little or no enjoyment or interest in deep understanding.

As a concrete example I just reviewed a PR for a feature that someone wanted to add to a flask app. It had a ton of terraform code, an aws api gateway, a lambda, etc. then on the flask app frontend they added a page with a call to this new API. I asked why they didn’t just add a route to the flask app. Blank stare response.

Interestingly, on Xiaomi HyperOS they have added the ability to individually control each app's access to mobile data 1/2/WiFi. I didn't know this wasn't a general Android feature.

I guess if it was, people would be turning off the network permission of all the "apps that perform a trivial function, but with ads", like I always do.

i've been using android since the iphone 4s (i had one of those and thought it was very cool). i wanted freedom. but these days i'm thinking of changing up, back to iphone, and getting a mac laptop to replace this old thinkpad ashtray. i won't ash on the mac, at least not to start with. i'm tired of the crap. ubuntu is crap. why am i using a janky kde connect? i'd like to try xcode and other apple stuff. seriously, i think apple is going to start getting more marketshare in both phones and computers. i think people are tired of google and microsoft, and linux desktop distros. ps. i'm too old to care about pc gaming. i have a playstation for that.

The history here is more complex than that… originally Irish was not an EU language because Ireland just used English… then as part of one the cycles of EU treaty renegotiation, Ireland successfully pushed for it to be made a secondary EU language… and then later successfully pushed for it to be upgraded to full status… so Ireland actually has two EU languages, their original one (English) and their newer one (Irish). Because the practical reality is everyone in Ireland is fluent in English-around 60% of Irish people can’t even speak basic Irish, and fluent Irish speakers is <10% of the population

Also, English remains one of the main working languages of the EU bureaucracy, because for many EU states (especially in Eastern Europe) it is a more popular foreign language than the other two (French and German)-when Czech diplomats need to talk to Spanish diplomats, English is the language they choose.

This idea people have here that “each country gets to nominate a language” isn’t how it actually works. The treaties just contain a list of languages, and which languages are in the list is down to diplomatic negotiations not any coherent principle.

Slower is only a problem if you're waiting on the machine. I recently purchased one of those "all in one" heatpump washer and dryers. It is indeed on a per wash basis slower than my old separate washer and dryer. But over the course of a week and multiple loads, the total time spent is about the same or possibly even less.

Sure, my old washer could wash a load in say an hour and the dryer could dry that load in 2 hours. So 3 hours per load. Except that was only true for the first load. The second load has to wait for the dryer to be done with the first load, so it actually takes 2 hours to "wash" and then 2 hours to dry, so 4 hours total. And that assumes that I'm home or available at just the right moment to swap the loads. And forget running a load overnight. I mean I can, but why would I want to leave a sopping wet mass of clothes sitting waiting to be thrown into the dryer. The new one takes anywhere from 4-6 hours for a cycle to run. Seems like a terrible trade off, except I can start a load at 11 at night, and have a cleaned and dried load in the morning. I can throw a load in before I leave for work, and it will be cleaned and dried when I get home. It doesn't matter than it took an extra 3 hours because I wasn't there waiting on it, and I didn't have to swap the loads.

A side and unexpected benefit of this machine too is that it's actually faster at drying loads of bedding. The big problem with a classic tumble dryer and bedding is that it spins in one direction constantly. Early on when the bedding is all wet and heavy it starts rolling into a ball, and no matter how good your dryer's sensors are, you will almost inevitably open that dryer to a mass of hot on the outside bedding and damp on the inside. You'll unravel the mess, and throw it back in for another round or two. Because the drum unit for the all in one is the same as the washer unit, it spins in both directions while drying, just like the washing machine does. As a result, bedding never gets wrapped and balled up during the drying phase and the bedding comes out dry first time every time.

I'll second the enjoyable parts of Neovim shared above, and add a few more of my own: - vi uses most of the same default keybindings, which is available across most distros (in busybox). Meaning I can use the same keybindings in a docker container, appliance server, etc. - With the conform[1] plugin, I can add any CLI code/text formatters that might not be available as a vscode extension. As long as it takes a file/stdin and outputs a file/stdout.

I see where you’re coming from - the state is just the will of the people.

From my perspective, the State’s capacity to enforce the will of the people has improved dramatically. People both then and now would have wanted no indentured servitude, no starvation, better healthcare, safety from violence and so on.

But governments can actually deliver on most of those to a reasonable degree now. In that sense “everything is permitted” is limited by what the state will allow you to get away with. Is murder permitted? Yeah, but you’re probably getting caught. Is littering permitted? Same. We don’t need a belief in God to prevent people from committing crimes against their fellows. Less violence, less starvation, fewer children dying.

People haven’t become better, but the world has become gentler. Whether a person believes “everything is permitted” or not, there’s a lot less permitted now than back then. A simple morality of “I’ll follow the laws of society”, which you have to do anyway, is probably good enough to make a stable society.

On some level, this makes the Brothers Karamazov feel a bit less timeless. It feels like those difficult questions Ivan was grappling with aren’t eternal, just a problem of the circumstances he was living in. If he lived in 2025 he’d probably just be an atheist and he wouldn’t lose his mind over it. It doesn’t matter to me thought, the book is still a masterpiece.

Thank you for discussing this with me. This book is a bit niche so I can’t remember the last time I got to discuss it with someone.

You can have each tower derive a perfectly stable 1Hz signal from the mains, but you have no way to synchronize those signals. Each tower's 'tick' starts at a random point in the 60Hz cycle.

You need an external, dedicated channel for this. You either synchronize with signals sent between towers or with a global signal from somewhere else (space). GPS broadcasts atomic time references for free, so everyone just uses that

I appreciate the work but as someone who grew up playing these games and quake and blood and all those novalogic titles, it was never about the graphics. They were just fun.

In a sense the pastiche nostalgia reminds me of the 80s retro boom. It is way over the top to the degree that nothing back then looked or sounded like that. It was more low key and subdued.

What about DEI makes it an “ideological” movement as opposed to other movements who are presumably not ideological?

And I’m not sure what “most people”, is supposed to mean; you do realize you’re talking about 49% – that is, under half, so definitively not “most” – of the US of A’s population?[0]

> University is expensive as fck. Health care is expensive as fck.

University isn't near as big of a problem. That's not something the blindsides you like health care expenses. Nobody is making you spend $300k on university. Got my engineering degree at a public university for ~$100k in total and had it paid off 5 years after graduation. But a $195k hospital bill is something I'd never be prepared for. Nobody chooses to go to a hospital.

The problem in UK cities has nothing to do with feudalism. The massive lands most of those big land owners own isn't really worth that much. The really valuable land around cities is locked up by 1960s land use and building regulation. You have incredibly valuable land not developed because it has to be 'green' but its not some ancient woodland, rather its just a bunch of grass next to a highway.

Those 1960s regulation have a 1000x larger effect then any land owners owning a bunch of unproductive farmland or highlands.

Not to say there are no issues with large land owners, but its nowhere near anywhere close to being the issue with housing prices and living cost.

Not sure if I should be get bonus points for that, but if mappa means map, the ultimate origin is still Semitic. Latin seem to have took the word maappa from a Canaanite language. The word mappa (and it's older version "manpa") is attested in Minshnaic Hebrew (meaning a napkin or a tablecloth), although you could say Hebrew "re-loaned" the cartographic meaning - which is much newer.

It's not just Musk, of course; many people in his political realm do the same. You misunderstand what they're doing, which is why they're so successful and 'get away with it' endlessly. It looks like something you expect, but you're losing the game because you aren't even aware you're on the field playing. You'll notice their followers laugh about 'owning' you - what do they mean?

To the (neo-reactionaries), words are weapons and not conveyers of information. Extreme statements are, in many cases, better weapons than accurate ones, certainly better than moderate ones - they sieze the initiative, put the speaker on offense, put their opponent on their heels because the words are so unexpected and aggressive.

To people who think the words convey information, the words and behavior make no sense. You think you're having a political debate, but they are fighting a war to destroy you. It's like you listening to their signal, trying to decode what makes no sense, when they are really trying to electrocute you.

In a sense I don't fault people for not grokking that (ha ha) but I do fault them for seeing something is wrong, for all these years, and not making the intellectual effort to figure it out. It seems like almost nobody, national and world leaders and leading intellectuals included, has figured it out.

The SETI Institute is integrating Nvidia’s new IGX Thor platform into the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) to accelerate its search for extraterrestrial signals. Announced on Tuesday, the collaboration aims to power real-time AI signal detection directly at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory in Northern California.

The ATA, comprising 42 antennas, scans the cosmos for radio signals that could indicate distant cosmic phenomena or potential signs of intelligent life. By incorporating the enterprise-ready IGX Thor platform, the Institute can process and analyse incoming data on-site, drastically cutting down the time needed to identify noteworthy signals.
