At a previous position, I had a rather strained relationship with the IT department - they were very slow to fill requests and maintained an extremely locked down windows server that we were supposed to develop for. It wasn't the worse environment, but the constant red tape was pretty frustrating.

I got got when they sent out a phishing test email disguised as a survey of user satisfaction with the IT department. Honestly I couldn't even be mad about it - it looked like all those other sketchy corporate surveys complete with a link to a domain similar to Qualtrics (I think it was one or two letters off).

The communities I'm in don't require a phone number and very rarely gets trolls. Proper moderation is the most important part. Occasionally there's a spambot, but they're just hacked accounts from pre-existing real users, and as someone that uses a VPN with Discord, I'd prefer to not be treated as an evil-doer please.

I knew a guy 20 years ago who was doing a PhD trying to 3D scan caves.

Caving is one of those things where not many people get to go there and any damage is irreversible. Combined with other information, such scanning could provide invaluable information for geology.

But yeah, not in my house. I already used Valetudo to ensure my robot vacuum doesn't send info about my house anywhere. Why the hell would I do a high detail scan and upload it?

I knew someone was going to reply about it being a hardware thing. Ubuntu was listed on Framework's compatibility page as being fully supported. And the hardware was not particularly special or cutting edge. Also, the installer is STILL bugged even with 25.10. Not crashing, but if you connect to WiFi in the installer, when you click next it sits the indefinitely waiting for it to connect even after you can see in the system tray that it's connected.

And I tried Fedora at the time but, if I remember correctly, that was the distro that wouldn't load the fingerprint sensor settings page.

Politico is being overly dramatic as usual.

While of course we’re grateful to the person who setup the website, this isn’t the first time a campaign against a piece of policy has included a website. Politico makes it sounds like it’s a fight between the little man and the “big parliament” but emailing your MEPs (the ones you elect every couple of years) has always been an effective way to signal your views. And yes, for bigger issues there have been websites and flyer actions to remind people to voice their views.

It’s democracy and absolutely a form of debate.

Also, I think Politico should absolutely review how they try to protect the identity of people they’re writing about because naming the guy and providing so much information in this day and age is just plain doxing.

I've seen someone do a live, on stage demo of phishing audit software, where they phished a real company, and showed what happens when someone falls for it.

Live. On stage. In minutes. People fall for it so reliably that you can do that.

When we ran it we got fake vouchers for "cost coffee" with a redeem link, new negative reviews of the company on "trustplot" with a reply link, and abnormal activity on your "whatapp" with a map of Russia, and a report link. They were exceptionally successful even despite the silly names.

Unfortunately, ISO C requires offsetof to calculate a constant; moreover, the right operand is a "member designator", which elements[N] isn't.

However, the traditional (and pretty much the only sensible) ways of defining offsetof do make it work.

N3220 draft:

offsetof(type, member-designator)

[expands] to an integer constant expression that has type size_t, the value of which is the offset in bytes, to the subobject (designated by member-designator), from the beginning of any object of type type. The type and member designator shall be such that given

static type t;

then the expression &(t. member-designator) evaluates to an address constant. If the specified type name contains a comma not between matching parentheses or if the specified member is a bit-field, the behavior is undefined.

This doesn't mean I won't use it, but just something to be aware of.

It might not be a bad idea to propose to ISO C that offsetof(type, array[n]) should be required to work, and for non-constant n too.

If you really cared, this should have started with: "I am stepping down as the moderator..."

Even though you have counter claims, you moderating the forum for your industry is problematic. You also seem keen to chime in about a competitor when you should be impartial and allow users to discuss their experiences alone.

Yes there are two sides to every story, but in no universe should you be the mod of that subreddit.

Sure, are the communities you're in tens of thousands of users or more? Because things change really quickly depending on how many users are active, if it's a community server, and the subject matter. Even a programming Discord is a hell hole. You cannot have enough mods ever. Things fall through the cracks and people get hurt. You can't moderate DMs or know the wellbeing of tens of thousands of your users who are being harassed in DMs and have no idea how to get help. Discords full of a lot of youth.

Theres users who rotate community servers on a VPN / new spun up alts. They are relentless. I noticed the communities that are massive and do not have this problem to this extend all require phone number.

> But this is not circular. Circular would be if I sell you an apple worth $0.25 for $2.00

When you draw a circle on a piece of paper do you put your pencil to the paper, start drawing a curve, stop and write the word FRAUD, and then complete the curve? Or do you just draw a circle?

I’m assuming that people are saying “circular” in that it looks like the money goes in a circle. (For one example) Nvidia invests in Lambda, Lambda buys GPUs from Nvidia, Nvidia leases GPUs back from Lambda, Lambda uses the revenue from leasing the GPUs to Nvidia to raise debt to buy more GPUs from Nvidia…

I mean in terms of market here, for games (largest current use case for Wine / proton). Its not really a market. I think the investment for linux over windows is for steam to try and push people away from windows so as to reduce the competition for Xbox Game Pass. In the most recent report for steam, linux users are like 2-3% of the total share. I'm not sure that "edge lords" pushing the market, really factors into valve's decision. If Xbox Game Pass goes under, then I think steam will likely reduce its investment in proton.

Just my take though, I get your point that people spreading this idea and encouraging it have a place and at least its not negative. I just don't think that they really are market movers.

Hey! You're mixing up two different things:

1. Claude Desktop's built-in `/memory` command (what you tried) - just lists CLAUDE.md files 2. Recall MCP server (this project) - completely separate tool you need to install

Recall doesn't work through slash commands. It's an MCP server that needs setup:

1. Install: npm install -g @joseairosa/recall 2. Add to claude_desktop_config.json 3. Restart Claude Desktop 4. Then Claude can use memory tools automatically in conversation

Quick test after setup: "Remember: I prefer TypeScript" - Claude will store it in Redis.

I think we’re using different terms for value but I agree with your argument about comparative advantage and non zero sum trade, while also noting the other comments here that price is intended to correlate with marginal value in a suitably free market, to the degree that individual measures of value can be mediated through a price mechanism.

This is perhaps the broader point, which is that to the degree economics acknowledges non-priced value it’s a hand wave to “there’s some economic surplus here otherwise these people wouldn’t reach agreement to exchange”.

But to the degree that senses of value are the motivating factor behind economic exchange it’s oddly absent from the discussion. I get the reasons: philosophical inquiries about value and aesthetics are a lot more challenging to work through than concepts of utility reflected by measurable actions, but this goes to the overall point about the limitation and overreduction of current mainstream economics, and the criticism of people like Graeber of its politicised and somewhat arbitrary intellectual grounds.

To the degree mainstream economic reduction is useful to support understanding that’s fine - it absolutely allows reasoning and insight in many scenarios, especially microeconomics - but to the degree that decision-makers double down on it (especially macro) despite it being incomplete or absolutely wrong in certain environments and contexts because it promotes certain power structures and power plays that is highly problematic, especially when people jump to its defence out of misplaced loyalty to a school of expertise.

Sure. If it's easy, then it's easy.

For a "regular" USB C that supports USB 2.0 speeds (and is rated for 60W and therefore lacks an internal e-marker chip), there's just 5 wires inside: Two for data, two for power, and one for CC. There's nothing particularly complex about testing those wires for end-to-end continuity (like a cheapo network cable tester does).

A charging-only cable requires only 3 wires.

But fancier cables bring fancier functions. Do you want to test if the cable supports USB 3? With one lane, or two lanes? USB 4? Or what of the extra bits supporting alt modes like DisplayPort and MHL and the bag of chips that is Thunderbolt -- does that need all tested, too? (And no, that earlier 120Gbps figure isn't a lie.)

And power? We're able to put up to -- what -- 240W through some of these cables, right? That's a beefy bit of heat to dissipate, and those cables come with smarts inside of them that need negotiated with.

I agree that even at extremes, it's still somewhere within the realm of some appropriate FPGA bits or maybe a custom ASIC, careful circuit layout, a big resistor, and a power supply. And with enough clones from the clone factories beating eachother up on pricing, it might only cost small hundreds of dollars to buy.

So then what? You test the fancy USB-C ThunderBolt cable with the expensive tester, and pack it up for a trip for an important demo -- completely assured of its present performance. And when you get there, it doesn't work anyway.

But the demo must proceed.

So you find a backup cable somewhere (hopefully you thought to bring one yourself, because everyone around you is going to be confused about whatever it is that makes your "phone charger" such a unique and special snowflake that the ones they're trying to hand to you cannot ever be made to work), plug that backup in like anyone else would even if they'd never heard the term "cable tester," and carry on.

The tester, meanwhile? It's back at home, where it hasn't really done anything but cost money and provide some assurances that turned out to be false.

So the market is limited, the clone factories will thus never ramp up, and the tester no longer hypothetically costs only hundreds of dollars. It's right back up into the multiple-$k range like the pricing for other low-volume boutique test gear is.

(I still want one anyway, but I've got more practical things to spend money on...like a second cable to use for when the first one inevitably starts acting shitty.)

Web is simultaneously not really designed for apps but also a sort of golden environment for app development because it is the one thing that ships on nearly every consumer machine that behaves more or less the same with an actual standard.

People bemoan the lack of native development, but the consuming public (and the devs trying to serve them) really just want to be able to do things consistently across phones and laptops and other computing devices and the web is the most consistent thing available, and it is the most battle-tested thing available.

Yes, but the problem is deeper than flock or even privacy as a concept. The problem is that we routinely fail to recognize organization crime. Basically, you're allowed to just spread and obfuscate accountability and get away with basically anything.

If I stalk someone, I go to jail. If 100 people get together and invent Super Stalking and they stalk everyone all the time, nobody goes to jail. It's completely counter-intuitive but this is how we structured society and justice.

I'm a software engineer with 10+ years of experience. I'm also a poker player that has a very deep understanding of the game. Writing a poker bot that can beat the game is absolutely not trivial. There are "solvers" that use counterfactual regret minimization to solve a constrained version of the game for specific scenarios. These are useful for understanding the principles of the game but they are not the cheat sheet people think they are.

I think people fundamentally don't get that poker is not like chess. The vast majority of money I win is from identifying when players are too attached to their hand and never folding or when they just give up on their hand and fold to any bet.

How is that an example of something you are doing that might be a superstition?

You asked it to do a single easily verifiable task and it did it. You don’t know whether that’s something it can do reliably until you test it sure.

An example of a possible superstitious action would be always adding commands as notes in a PR because you believe Claude gives PR notes more weight.

That’s something that sounds crazy, but it’s perfectly believable that some artifact of training could lead some model to actually behave this way. And you can imagine that someone picking up on this pattern could continue to favor writing commands as PR notes years after model changes have removed this behavior.

The idea in AI 2027 is that, if even one company can realize the benefits of AI that quickly, that's enough to change everything. Partly because of feedback loops where powerful AI is used to accelerate AI capabilities, and partly because we've already seen OpenAI's customer base go from zero to, like, everybody, in the blink of an eye. (This is not an attempt to weigh in on the ongoing controversy about OpenAI's financial sustainability; rather, the point is that we know that it's possible in this kind of scenario for a single company to attain economy-wide market penetration quickly, so that's not necessarily a big barrier to technological adoption.)

A nanosecond order book helps with price discovery the deeper it is, regardless of whether orders clear.

This is a claim, it is not being backed up by evidence.

I think you're trolling with this one. But you had an advantage typing your comment into a web browser compared to all the people who wrote theirs on paper and put it in an envelope with a stamp.

This analogy doesn't make any sense. Why would a person care about nanosecond price discovery? The only benefit is for whoever controls the computers that are able to do it and profit off of it.

If that's not true then why are these firms paying so much money to have nanosecond advantages?

Why do people doing normal trading want to avoid the exchanges that have HFT computers skimming money off their trades?

There is no mutual benefit here. If there was you would be able to explain it clearly and with evidence instead of just making claims about 'price discovery'.

The price is going to get discovered either way just as it has for hundreds of years, it happening a billion times per second does normal traders no good.

The speed of light is roughly 30cm/ns. So accessing main memory 15cm away on a motherboard is about 0.5ns slower than cache, no matter whether the main memory is DRAM or SRAM. That's 2 clock cycles extra at 4GHz, which is a tiny fraction of the actual time (somewhere around 100ns) but not negligible. 0.5% or so is just enough that I'd say it can matter. Particularly since larger computers end up putting some of their RAM further away.

> To me it comes across as forcing the idea that there is progress, and it cheapens these historical events when OpenAI inevitably drops the ball.

These "historic advancement" announcements make more sense when the target audience are firms such as Forrester[0] and Gartner[1], instead of those who would be charged with using them.

My favorite part about the FOGBANK story is that once they figured out how to manufacture it again, the new version of the material was more chemically pure than the old version, but this actually made the material LESS effective, so they had to add spcific impruities back into it to make it work correctly.

It has become a big pet peeve of mine when people treat "workarounds" like "solutions" to problems. I have certainly done this in the past, so I'm not excluding myself from it, but I try pretty hard not to do that now.

For example, I mentioned that my speakers on my laptop sound like shit under Linux to a friend. I mentioned a few of the fixes I had tried, none of which really improved anything, and eventually the friend recommended I buy some headphones or an external speaker. Yes, that would "work" in the sense that I would have higher quality audio, but it doesn't really "fix" my problem, just makes it easier to ignore it.

This article shows the logical extreme of that thinking, I love it.

IMHO this is a pretty dump approach to the problem

while there probably are some countries with terrible designed passport for most they are designed to be machine readable even with very old style (like >10year old tech) OCR systems

so even if you want to do something like that you can extract all relevant information and just store that, maybe als extract the image

this seems initially pointless, but isn't, if you store a copy of a photo of a people can use that to impersonate someone, if you only steel the information on it it's harder

outside of impersonation issues another problem is that it's not uncommon that technically ids/passports count as property of the state and you might not be allowed to store full photo copies of it and the person they are for can't give you permission for it either (as they don't own the passport technically speaking). Most times that doesn't matter but if a country wants to screw with you holding images of ids/passports is a terrible idea.

but then you also should ask yourself what degree of "duplicate" protection you actually need wich isn't a perfect one. If someone can circumvent it by spending multiple thousands to endup with a new full name + fudged id image this isn't something a company like discord really needs to care about. Or in other word storing a subset of the information on a passport, potentially hashed, is sufficient for like way over 90% of all companies needs for secondary account prevention.

in the end the reason a company might store a whole photo is because it's convenient and you can retrospectively apply whatever better model you want to use and in many places the penalties for a data breach aren't too big. So you might even start out with "it's bad but we only do so for a short time while building a better system" situation, and then due to the not so threatening consequence of not fixing it (or awareness) it is constantly de-prioritized and never happens...

> It has become a big pet peeve of mine when people treat "workarounds" like "solutions" to problems. I have certainly done this in the past, so I'm not excluding myself from it, but I try pretty hard not to do that now.

My favorite is this pattern that occurs in every big backend job-running script in every place I've worked: the success paths spams the log with expected errors. Something tries to connect to something else on start?

FATAL ERROR: COULD NOT CONNECT debug: retrying... (1/3) FATAL ERROR: COULD NOT CONNECT debug: retrying... (2/3) Service connected! Startup succeeded

"Just learn to ignore the expected errors, bro" is the most infuriating "workaround" for this lack of basic log hygiene

Hi OP, can you tell me how you got started to build tool like this? From what I understand, you are leveraging git worktree under the hood and using LLM agent that work in CLI to maintain 'branch' of version being produced. depending on which agent produces the best version of code, you pivot to that one. And Fleetcode provider solution to manage this.

Did you use TypeScript to build FleetCode because of electron app?
