Looking at that list, collapse OS seems to cater to 8-bit only. It’s also aimes at “ built from scavenged parts” boards. I’ve often come across Hitachi h8, Blackfin, PIC, avr, the occasional ARM and other controllers in the wild. But they all have one thing in common: the flash is locked and inaccessible without some jtag tools. The only times you’ll see external flash (winbond & co) is with an fpga or a controller who’s had his otp memory configured with a bootloader.

I often re-purpose scavenged board because of their useful layout, but only after swapping the controller for a programmable one. The notion of scavenging the controllers themselves… far less practical as you think.

Their prices include credits for all the different models, FWIW, with the ability to buy more if you use them up. If I've understood your pricing correctly, you require me to bring API keys for all the models I want to use. I won't say one is better than the other for that reason, but it adds a lot of additional friction for LLM Onestop compared to t3.chat from my perspective.

> You know what, I used to plan my leaving from home based on the timings at the station, but soon I realized that it is not worth it.

I would be interested to know how the service frequency affects this approach.

A nearby regional train line I sometimes use has a service every 30 minutes, and - for me at least - that (in)frequency makes it definitely worth timing your arrival at the station.

Interesting!

I've gotten a wide enough variety of stuff (mortgage paperwork, homeowners insurance, game service accounts) that some of it has to be organically entered, but that is a good note. Crazy that any system would be set up that way, but HR tech is a clusterfuck.

I am lastname.firstname@gmail.com, but I wouldn't be surprised if something similar is happening in some instances.

No, its bad. Genuinely bad. This was the first Bethesda game I actually found bugs on day 1 for. I've played all their other games on launch and its never been this bad for me. I usually rarely spot bugs, I don't know if I just have the right hardware or what, but it just never happens to me.

The other problem is they did a major update, which broke a ton of mods. Then with their own mod store, they made it so only paid mods are considered "savefile safe" for enabling of achievements, which means every other mod I find that isn't a paid mod has a descriptiong along the lines of "I AM NO LONGER MAINTAINING THIS DUE TO BETHESDA WANTING TO PAYWALL SIMPLE FREE MODS JUST TO LET YOU SAVE WITHOUT ACHIEVEMENTS" or something like that, I've seen a few completely different mod authors just abandone ship completely.

This is probably their worst goof ever. I'm genuinely angered enough that if the next Elder Scrolls flops I may have to write off one of my all-time favorite game development studios.

I love Bethesda, but they're falling off real hard, and the only difference that could be affecting that is Microsoft in my eyes.

Just think. Starfield could have been a Game of the Year game. It was not.

It also only has one single DLC.

I love the game, its just not looking like it will ever meet its potential. I read on reddit a commend that I agree with, the only thing that could save Starfield now is a "Directors Cut" release.

Lol that's the most contrived excuse I have read so far.

I guess he was in favor of all the other lieas and hoax spread by the left (the fake Steele dossier for instance), because, even if he ended up in tribunals for years on end, spent hundreds of millions in legal fees, oh well, ultimately the truth made it out years later so he benefited from it !

What do you think the word debate means? If a somebody makes a statement and then some people disagreed with it and others jumped to defend it then you can say people engaged in debated. If that happened in Knesset then you can say they debated it.

You can get pedantic and argue all you want about meaningless tangents to try to misrepresent people whose views you dislike as liars but in the end you are going to be another Zionist using rhetoric to distract from your racist and genocidal ideology.

Admit you are genocidal and racist. Admit you support IDF that raped on camera.

I profoundly disagree. Politicians might despise the tabloid press, but they are still very much susceptible to it - because their barrage inevitably seeps into broadsheets and the general press. A simple example: the likes of the Guardian despise Farage, whereas he's an absolute darling of tabloids. Was he invited to BBCQT a billion times because broadsheets wanted him there? Obviously not.

Feels a bit like FedCM[0] but for verification.

I think there is benefit to this because folding some identity primitives into the browser helps the user (in UX, in security). This was certainly true of password managers.

The other comments talk about how you will need to have a fallback. That is certainly true. But just because you have to have a fallback doesn't mean you can't improve things.

> Every web application nowadays send you a welcome, onboarding, reminder after the verification. (No user privacy enhancement)

But would they need to if they could trust info coming from the browser?

But this was unclear: -You've solved 0 puzzles! -Reveal Rule -Next Puzzle -View Archive -You still have 2 guesses left. Finish guessing before revealing the rule if you're feeling brave!

I have to do 2 more guesses before I can reveal the rule that I already figured out?

For the last several years I've very happily used it over SMB to ZFS (with autosnaps) for this very reason, and wrote an AppleScript to automatically "verify" it every week or so.

Once or twice a year it gives a verify error (i imagine this is because a plug gets pulled halfway through a backup on one side or the other), and I just have to go find the last verified date, zfs rollback, and then re-verify. Afterwards it picks up where I left off, and the historical backups are preserved.

Wish it didn't require this extra effort in the first place, but much better than having to nuke and pave every time.

Even better, it's working great over Tailscale so I can even use it remotely. Only big hiccup I ran into was figuring out some ZFS setting about quota vs refquota (something like that) to have the Time Machine's (artificial) space limit match the ZFS quota so that Time Machine would prune the oldest backups appropriately (otherwise the ZFS snapshots took up an unpredictable amount of space and Time Machine would unexpectedly get out of space errors before hitting its space limit).

The survey questions [1] have more details than the article. They offered a 'no opinion' choice which was rarely taken. As for what you linked to, you have to be aware of studies of small samples. The number I gave (about 6% not wanting kids) and what you referenced are probably not incompatible. It's just that when you filter down to people aged up to 34 with no children, you're obviously going to artificially inflate that percent because you're excluding everybody having children.

In other words, imagine if 70% of people that want to have children have had at least one child by the age of 34. So we start with e.g. 100 people where 6 don't want to have children (appealing to the 94/6 ratio from the older study). Then we remove 70% of the 94 that do and we're left with 28 that do and 6 that don't, so now the 'don't want' group make up 18% of the total sample. And I think 70% of people that want to have children, having had at least one child by 34, is a very reasonable ballpark.

Check out the questions [2] they asked, in the study you linked, and you can see that you end up with a highly unrepresentative sample of society: 33% live with their parents, 19% are unemployed, 44% receive financial assistance from their parents, and they're democrat:republican at a near 2:1 ratio.

I was working on a iPad-focused Dungeons & Dragons app focused on the Dungeon Master called Campaign Codex but I got a little bored with building CRUD apps.

Decided to pivot and start learning about databases and their internals more. Currently pulling down Clickhouse and reading some code along with the reading the book Database Internals by Alex Petrov.

So I'm technically not "working on" an app...I am working on myself to branch out and attempt to specialize a bit more as I progress in my career.

Any advice/papers/books to read is very welcomed!

> This is actually a clever way to distinguish if the browser supports XSLT or not. Actual content is XHTML in https://xslt.rip/index.xsl

I agree it is a clever way. But it also shows exactly how hard it is to use XML and XSLT in a "proper way": Formal everything is fine to do it in this way (except the server is sending 'content-type: application/xml' for the /index.xsl, it should be 'application/xslt+xml').

Almost all implementations in XML and XSLT that I have seen in my career showed a nearly complete lack of understanding of how they were intended to be used and how they should work together. Starting with completely pointless key/value XMLs (I'm looking at you, Apple and Nokia), through call-template orgies (IBM), to ‘yet-another-element-open/-close’ implementations (almost every in-house application development in PHP, JAVA or .NET).

I started using XSLT before the first specification had been published. Initially, I only used it in the browser. Years later, I was able to use XSLT to create XSDs and modify them at runtime.

If you have the resources of Google available to you, I'd think something could be done to make email as a whole less bad. I get so many emails that inbox zero is NOT at all realistic. You could argue that's not Google's responsibility, and you'd be right, but it means I use Gmail less, which is at odds with me using it more and Google getting more of my attention.

Try Time Machine first. As with many things, the complainers are much louder than the people for whom it just works.

I’ve been using it since it came out with plenty of success. The key is to use a USB drive rather than a network drive. If the drive gets corrupted (it’s happened to me a few times over the years, although not in the last several), just wipe it and start a new backup.

Three People Injured in Early-Morning Slashing in Queens

QUEENS LOCAL NEWS - Three people were viciously slashed, one across the face, during a late night argument outside a Queens Burger King, the NYPD says.

The attack happened at around 4:13 am on October 2 in front of 103-19 Roosevelt Avenue. Investigators said a 19-year-old woman, a 34-year-old man, and a 23-year-old man were standing outside the store when two unidentified men approached them and got into a dispute.

Things quickly turned violent.

Investigators say both suspects pulled out sharp objects and began slashing the victims. The 19-year-old woman was cut on her back, the 34-year-old man suffered wounds to his back and hands, and the 23-year-old man was slashed on the left side of his face.

After the attack, the two men ran off, heading north on 104th Street. Emergency responders arrived soon after, and all three victims were taken to NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst, where they were reported to be in stable condition.

Police have released descriptions of the suspects from surveillance video taken from the scene. Both suspects are described as light-skinned men with heavy builds. One suspect is described as medium complexion who was last seen wearing a red hooded Nike sweatshirt, black jeans, and black sneakers.

The second suspect is described as having a medium complexion and was last seen wearing a white baseball cap, a black hooded sweatshirt, black jeans, and white sneakers.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, on X @NYPDTips.

All calls are strictly confidential.

What vulnerabilities would you imagine there to be in an unmanaged (aka: dumb) switch? Someone can force the switch to flood all traffic to all ports?

Bearing in mind that switches generally have special-purpose hardware that's responsible for handling switching, I find it unlikely that cheapass dumbswitches have enough CPU to copy LAN data and send it out to a remote system at any useful speed.

Also, next time you're looking for a switch (or if you're still within the return period for your used switch), consider Mikrotik switches. I've had four CRS326-24G-2S+ units for three, maybe five years now and I'm quite happy with them. However, I know nothing about their routers or WiFi APs.

They enabled the feature too soon. It's gone from actively and infuriatingly terrible to occasionally somewhat useful, but a lot of people made up their minds early on that it was a net negative.

Sort of like AI in general, but to an even greater extent, since nobody tried to shove GPT2 down everyone's throats the way Google did when their own tech was at a similar stage of advancement.

Surgical Instruments for Students: Your Starter Guide to the Tools of the Trade

Stepping into an operating theatre or a anatomy lab for the first time can feel overwhelming. Among the first things you'll encounter are the surgical instruments – a dazzling array of steel, each with a specific name and purpose. But fear not! This quick guide will introduce you to the essential tools every student should know.

Meet the Core Team:

The Scalpel: The master of precision. This is for making clean, sharp incisions. Remember, it's a handle with a disposable blade. Respect its sharpness – it demands care and control. Tissue Forceps: Your "pinching" tool. These are like super-powered tweezers used to grasp and hold tissue or skin. Look for the fine teeth at the tip that provide a secure hold without causing excessive damage. Surgical Scissors: Not all scissors are created equal. You'll use them for everything from cutting suture to dissecting tissue. Mayo scissors are heavy-duty for cutting suture, while Metzenbaum scissors are finer for delicate tissue. Haemostats: The clamps. These are crucial for controlling bleeding by clamping onto blood vessels. They have a locking mechanism called a ratchet, so they can hold their position without you needing to keep pressure on them. Needle Holders: As the name implies, these lock a suture needle firmly in place, allowing you to sew up an incision with accuracy and control. They look a bit like haemostats but have shorter, stronger jaws to grip the needle.

Why This Matters for You:

Understanding these instruments isn't just about memorizing names. It's about building a foundation.

Communication: Knowing the correct terms allows you to effectively communicate with your team. Skill Development: Proper handling is the first step toward developing your surgical skills. Respect for the Craft: These tools are extensions of a surgeon's hands, and learning to use them respectfully is part of your professional journey.

Your journey starts in the skills lab. Practice handling these instruments, learn their names, and understand their function. This basic knowledge is your first step towards mastering the art and science of surgery.

i bought a bottle from cvs. 60 gummies each 5 mg. my kid was having trouble sleeping and these worked like a sledghammer, it was great! also comical, knowing the dose was way too high, i would slice the pinky-fingernail-sized gummy into 10 tiny pieces. “do you want this gummy?” “can i have more?” “no” “do you still want the little piece” “yes”. so then she would try to make it last by sort of licking it or just taking it in and out of her mouth and it would get lost of forgotten- funny business. anyway, we dropped off the use of the sledgehammer precipitously as we wanted her to develop her own sleep skills and avoid any of these lesser known potentially negative effects. we still keep the (lifetime supply)tool in our back pocket for rare occasions, like traveling.

Oh yes the hospital report. I’m sure you would have accepted a Nazi doctor if he testified that no war crimes took place during the holocaust because he issued a hospital report.

I’ll tell you what — when you start accepting what the hospitals in Gaza are saying about the Palestinians we will start accepting what the twisted IDF doctors are saying.

You literally had a high ranking IDF officer resign in protest over the coverup of the rapes. Imagine the level of evil to make an IDF officer resign. My guess is she saw much more than we have seen.

I'd make the case that even if you thought he wasn't going to run again / would lose, it would be a bad idea to send him to prison on a less than black and white charge.

The clearest Constitutional line would have been impeachment, but the current Republican party cult nixed that one.

At some point, preserving widespread support (including Trump supporters) of elections and the judiciary is more important than not having a dumbass in office for 4 years.

To say nothing of the worst outcome if he had been sent to prison and won an election.

What’s your company? Perhaps you have an ethical obligation to your users and should have these regulations in place. We’ve seen what happens when companies are underegulated (Facebook, etc etc)

And here’s why your argument is a fallacy:

“This type of argument is sometimes used as a form of fearmongering in which the probable consequences of a given action are exaggerated in an attempt to scare the audience” [1]

I mean, yeah, sort of. But a lot of the design is still really bad. I am saying a lot, because I found one I like, Zorin. It is a properly pretty Linux distro. They are the first Linux distro that I feel actually have understood the value of spacing between icons and other places. Every single other Linux distro I have tried feels cluttered and messy. It is so simple, just a little more room for things, balance margins and padding just a little bit better. Gah. (And yes, I feel liquid glass on mac is a huge setback in terms of UI beauty)

Ugh. It's time for me to start transitioning my iOS/Watch/Mac programs to be "Liquid Glass-native."

I should be able to do it with my various personal apps, but one app I've written, was done in concert with a professional graphic designer, and he is not happy with LG, so I expect that app to be a pain.

Pretty much finished my photo gallery app for Windows -- https://github.com/Bloomca/Piktosaur. It is a pretty standard gallery viewer, the main feature is that you can point it at any folder and it will recursively search nested folders for extra images, e.g. an external hard drive.

Really happy with it as I wanted exactly that for myself.

The next idea I am going to work on is the audio player. I already wrote a Rust library to read TOC + raw track data from audio CDs (https://github.com/Bloomca/rust-cd-da-reader) and a CLI tool to do so + convert to FLAC and embed metadata from MusicBrainz (https://github.com/Bloomca/audio-cd-ripper).

I've been researching this topic and while my background is related to digital signal processing, I think I will use a library, there seem to be too many edge cases to work with WASAPI and such directly.

I like the name gyromorphs. Now, this name tells me absolutely nothing, but it's pretty cool - even more when it focuses on "light-based computers".

Glass fibers changed the world. It makes sense to push computers towards that too, not only quantum computers but all kinds of information-based computer systems. We have a lot of untapped potential everywhere here, including data storage. Right now I have a 2TB harddisc. I want a tiny harddisc but with, say, 100TB, and at an affordable cost.

Go nanotech, go! Make it happen already.

> you can have it and tweak it to your taste...

Not really. I have invested a lot of time and effort to finding and configuring my "perfect" desktop environment. I failed. As soon as you start tweaking (i.e. changing the default settings) and install some additional tools to fill some gaps, you discover loads of bugs and inflexibility.

The US approach is more than that, for instance if every employee in a business pushes for a contract that says workers will negotiate as a block and pay new union dues, and the contract says new hires will be bound by that too, that's illegal in many states. Not just the normal "right-to-work" restrictions, the contract isn't valid even if unanimously agreed on by every current employee (union security agreements). But for shareholders they all set it up like that, with votes weighted by dollars. A new shareholder can't buy someone's shares and government says it's illegal for him to be bound by the voting structure.

And secondary strikes are also illegal in the US under Taft-Hartley.

>And you think the same problem wouldn't exist with 6ghz?

Yes. Probably because they have some basic grasp of electromagnetic reality, which perhaps you might consider studying a bit before forming strong opinions?

>It will be as crowded as 5

Physically impossible. 6 GHz simply does not have the material penetration, that's the point. Having way more raw bandwidth on tap, all available all the time without DFS plopped in the middle too, is also extremely helpful of course too. But the signal just not traveling as far and not going through walls well is the core thing. You don't need special effort EM shielding for it so much, bulk material will do it. And WAPs are cheap now. Having a higher number of smaller cells has been best practice for awhile already, and 6 GHz takes that much further.

Excellent reply. Having children is great, but no one can deny that when we had ours, times were different in almost every way. Our grandchildren have much more to think about and different ways to think about it. Governments, on the other hand, look at families with an agenda in mind. (As in future tax payers, soldiers and consumers. Personal freedoms be damned, like the over turning of RvW.) Population growth in my lifetime has not been good in almost every way. The lack of all birth control (if some governments have their way) will threaten all future generations.
