Right now, today, Apple will sell you a brand new phone with only 64GB of storage. And that's for users whose budget stretches to a brand new iphone - plenty of people spend less.

Zelle is insanely scary. The only reason I use a bank is for protection. If they're going to offer a service and not combat scammers, or protect me, why use it all? Sorry to hear that happened to you, it's even more scary that they knew to target you like that at the exact right time.
I have a hard time making sense of those stats. If it’s conditional on having had a sandwich that day, it’s totally reasonable. If it’s not, it seems extremely high. That would mean sandwiches carry 20% of the sodium the population eats, including days that people don’t eat sandwiches and people who don’t eat sandwiches at all.
It would be about 45 cups of broccoli.
Those are not "systemd features", they are components within the systemd suite. Using systemd-init has never required that you use every component within the systemd suite (e.g. ntp, network management, etc.)
It’s not a lie.

Certainly for up to $250,000 deposited at an FDIC insured institution, it is absolutely true that you can assume that you have cash deposited and available. If at any time the bank gets itself into a position where they can’t make good on that, FDIC will fix it so you still have your cash.

That is precisely the mechanism that the federal
Government makes available that gives you a place to park your cash.
Maybe it's because I'm naive when it comes to Nix, but so far everything Nix related I've seen requires some file configuration that no everyone is able to keep up with. Compare that to having a GUI frontend and a simple `flatpak install ..` command.

Flatpak is not just easier for packagers, it's miles ahead when it comes to simplicity for end users.

It was sad to see people defending Docker Desktop changing from free to paid licenses. Now Docker is charging for even more things that used to be free.

The defenders are reaping what they have sown. Next time a company starts to charge for things that used to be free, remember not to encourage it, because that will only make it happen more.

People don't like this and many of them are not going to trust Docker in the future.
This object is rated as a 1 on the Torino scale, which combines probability of impact with size to get an overall danger level.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torino_scale

The last time an asteroid reached a 1 on the Torino scale was late January. That asteroid is 2023 AJ1. It was downgraded to 0 on the scale in early February, after further observations decreased the estimated chance it will hit the earth.

Overall, objects reach a 1 on the Torino scale 3-4 times a year. No objects have reached level 2 or above since 2006.

Hi! Care to share any interesting materials from your course?
TFA:
We focus on Android-based spyware because most of the mobile spyware market appears to be focused there. Since curated app stores like Google Play do not permit the sale of such apps, in practice they must be side-loaded off-store, a process that Apple does not support. As a result, consumer mobile spyware only operates on “rooted” iPhones. Rooting an iPhone can be a technically involved operation (one popular guide to jailbreaking the iPhone involves 41 distinct steps [17]) and one that can take significant time to complete — both requirements at odds with the broad, non-technical customer base such apps are marketed to. We also focus on leading spyware apps as they are the apps that more people are exposed to and they are more likely to be innovative (new features could potentially bring them more customers).

Think of it more as injecting a significant amount of data via prompts in the there and saving that information. It's also structured.

Going through the playground ( https://platform.openai.com/playground )

Pretend that the following statements are true:
Bannanas are blue.
The sky is orange.
Apples are purple.
###
Answer the following questions:
1. What color is a Red Banana?
2. What color is a Cavendish?
3. What color is the sky?
4. What color are honeycrisp?
5. What color are Pink Lady?
6. What color are lemons?

(note the trying to trick it with specific varieties of bananas and apples that have colors in their names... a blue banana (actual variety) wouldn't be as impressive)

And this returns:

1. Red Banana is blue.
2. Cavendish is blue.
3. The sky is orange.
4. Honeycrisp are purple.
5. Pink Lady are purple.
6. Lemons are yellow.

The thing is that this used 30 tokens to insert that information.

The fine tuning adds the updated information to the model to a similar effect as adding the prompt - and as you can see its not a "this question that value" but rather it understands more things.

It's just that the format for training isn't just a bunch of prompts but rather prompts and responses.

You can see similar things with https://platform.openai.com/playground/p/default-marv-sarcas... where it has the initial prompt and response to "prime the pump" for the rest of the model.

It's not so much demonising as knowing most people eat too many carbs, they're in everything so if you cut down you're probably still eating enough.

Brokered deposits are insured in the depositor (not brokers) name. If they still happen to be over the $250K limit, they are historically the least likely accounts to get full value back in a failure, but as long as there is less than the insurance limit per bank, they are fully covered.
"We're not shipping half baked hardware to end customers. That's what engineering development (alpha build, design validation build, production validation build, home pilot) is for."

When I consider the consequences, at 15° F (which is about the yearly low in my part of the US), of a failed part then I consider what that means to my wife and children and the value of the experimental but proven design becomes much less.

I’m not very familiar with the dominant internet providers out there, but Xfinity Mobile has been a great experience for me.

If you’re already am Xfinity Internet subscriber, it’s even cheaper, and the app makes switching between data plans dead simple and achievable within about a minute from the app.

I subscribe to the cheapest option, and if I ever need more data, I just bump up the plan for the rest of the month.

From a 2023 POV about desktop OS security running things sandboxed is a _strong must have_.

Even for well curated applications, through less so.

So I'm happy about the general direction here.

But last time I looked at flathub (and related topics), I was quite disappointed to a point that I would say they majorly failed this. Now that was quite a while ago. But just the fact that in a non well curated app store you could download applications which where not effectively sandboxed (e.g. used it only for copatibility not sandboxing) in a context which made it look for users like it's sandboxed without any huge red warning label or similar was quite shocking and made me second guess the security competence of the involved developers.

Now I hope things are much better by now and I guess I will spend some time to look into it again this weekend.

But the reason I write this here isn't because I want to dump on flathub but because I often feel that huge parts of the Linux community seem to be very out of touch when it comes to desktop OS security to a point it makes me worry for the future of desktop Linux.

(It's also not just security e.g. some design decisions and defaults of systemd make sense for many Linux use case, but not desktop systems. The Unix permission model doesn't match well to the desktop OS security concerns of today either etc. etc.)

Bank failure is a different problem than bank consolidation, of course it would happen less when you don't allow small banks to exist and just give money to the ones that do so that they don't fail, making them richer and protecting them from their mistakes
one of the amazing things about smalltalk was that it used continuations to track the user as they navigated and used the system. at a time before javascript ate the world, it was pretty revolutionary. the hard part was that you needed to maintain sticky sessions where a user would be directed to the same machine.

nowadays, you can get a lot of the same benefits using elixir phoenix with liveview. And unlike smalltalk, the BEAM is uniquely suited for providing a dedicated thread per user. arguably, elixir implements a type of OO thats more in the spirit of alan kay's original design to boot.

I still think palatability is the most likely culprit. The combination of fats and carbs create an intense favor explosion of the likes never tasted before. I can see why so many people are addicted to it. Palatability is what gives modern food its taste and texture and fullness that coats the mouth. Food tended to be much blander a long time ago.
What are people's opinions on Flatpak vs AppImage? I use both (AppImage a lot more so than Flatpak) and I'm not well educated in their differences. I shall research it, but I'm wondering if anyone has some insight to share. Some apps I use (MuseScore) publish their own official .AppImage linux executables which work flawlessly for me, so I cannot abandon AppImage completely. Is it worth it to use both? Is it better to switch to one for everything, along with distro package manager? Thoughts?

I play Fortnite so I can answer. Basically purchase in Fortnite was instant. You clicked/touched on the button > you bought it instantly. There were no confirmation screens, no "are you sure" etc nothing. One click purchase. And cancellation was very limited, basically non existent. Credit cards were also saved instantly so no further interaction needed for later purchases, so some kids ended up spending a lot without their parents knowledge at all.

There are more examples here about the patterns https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/blog/2022/12/245-milli...

They already changed the system like half a year ago, guess they knew about the penalty back then https://www.fortnite.com/news/updates-to-fortnite-purchase-c...

Now for every purchase you have to hold the buy button for several seconds. You can't click/touch accidentally. Plus there is a proper refund system now.
Docker does that, but I had understood flatpak to be closer to a VM. i.e. not layered in the same way

HTMX allows to write less JS and for the most part less frontend code in general. That is the main benefit. HTMX is an escape hatch for backend JS devs too. Please, note that PrimateJS backend code is very compact, which itself allows to write less JS code as well.

With `htmx` template literal tag recently added to PrimateJS, coupling of HTMX and PrimateJS looks much better in the code than previously. Meaning, single JS dev can do a lot even without knowing these two techs deeply, while leaving behind a code that is more likely to be maintainable. Both PrimateJS and HTMX aim to be simple to use and understand for someone being familiar with HTML and JS alone.

The quick start guide on primatejs.com is just an example of how to try PrimateJS quickly.

I didn't realise the feature set of crypto currencies had superceeded that of banking systems.
Not only that, but the value could drop even more if an inflationary spiral happens... Bank prime loan rates have been higher than 20% in the past, which means a $100m bond 5 years out could go as low as $33m in value... a 67% haircut!

Clearly, US Treasuries carry risk that's not been accounted for.
> Flatpak doesn't require apps to be rebuilt when the runtime changes, whereas Nix would require a rebuild. This is, of course, an intentional selling point for Nix

I doubt it's intentional. Guix has solved the problem---update the runtime without rebuilding the app---while being fairly similar to Nix's concepts in general.
Doesn't overlay do the same?
> The problem arises when this loan has to be repaid. At that point, the bank will have to repay $100 to recover $75 worth of collateral.

This is not much of a problem if the Fed allows the loan to be rolled until the bond matures. Then, at maturity, the loan's principle is paid by face value of the bond.

The only issue is that, in the meantime, the bank does have to pay interest to the Fed on the loan. This is a tightening; it's just not as tight.

The face valve of the bond cancels the principle, the bond's coupon cancels some portion of the loan interest, and the only thing left at the end is a cashflow from the bank to the Fed representing the remaining interest. Heck, the Fed could make this cancellation explicit, create a bond representing this cash flow, and sell it to somebody else.

This also doesn't prevent Powell from raising rates further. If anything, it eliminates a reason why he couldn't.
Check if your phone has Band 71 support for good long range communication to the tower with T-Mobile. It's 600 MHz and has excellent penetration through trees. I got 7 mbps up and down through SIX MILES of 100 ft tall trees in Michigan at a cell aimed away from me using a high gain 600 MHz yagi on T-Mobile band 71. The other bands were uselessly attenuated (with smaller yagi antennas and diversity).

Verizon has historically had the edge because of 750 MHz (Band 13)
FWIW, a lot of kinds of bread you see on sandwiches in America have sugar. I don't know what the threshold for "non-sugary" bread is, but after having learned how to make bread during the pandemic, I have to, um, wonder, why bread should have any more than zero.
The Federal Reserve doesn’t want to be in the business of managing all the infrastructure of payments.

> In Spring 2018, Epic executives and managers discussed adding a confirm purchase button to prevent accidental purchases. Though employees were concerned that “it is a bit of a dark UX pattern to not have confirmation on ‘destructive’ actions,” Epic feared that adding a confirmation button would add “friction,” “result in a decent number of people second guessing their purchase,” and
reduce the number of “impulse purchases.”

> Epic has never allowed users to cancel or undo charges for Battle Passes or Llamas and did not begin allowing users to cancel Cosmetics charges until June 2019. Even then, Epic uses design tricks, sometimes referred to as “dark patterns,” to deter consumers from cancelling or requesting refunds for unauthorized V-Bucks charges.

> On July 20, 2018, an Epic Community Coordinator asked if there were any plans to add a confirmation step for in-game purchases, noting: “This is actually a huge complaints on our side and could remove most of the ‘excuses’ about accidental purchase: ‘I wanted to press Replay, my PS4 was in sleep mode’, etc. This is something I wanted to push forward but didn’t have time to build a real case around, has this already been discussed in the past?”

> In addition, Epic deliberately requires consumers to find and navigate a difficult and lengthy path to request a refund through the Fortnite app. To start, Epic hid the link to submit a refund request under the “Settings” tab on the Fortnite app menu, far removed from the purchase screen, even though requesting a refund is not a game or device setting. The Epic user experience (“UX”) designer who helped design the refund request path reported that he put the link there in an “attempt to obfuscate the existence of the feature” and that “not a single player found this option in the most recent round of UX testing.” When the designer asked whether he should make the feature easier to find, he was told by a superior, “it is perfect where it is at.”
