benefits of Passpoint are that it creates a much larger and

... so the temporary host can theoretically MITM the connection and that's a feature? They don't just VPN everything from the phone to the ISP? :/

Sure, most traffic should be encrypted, but your neighbour could still see (and block) e.g. traditional DNS requests. Are DoH or DoTLS enabled by default yet under iOS?

Not great, IMO. :/

A banana is not a security, so the IRS does not care about the banana gaining value due to ripeness.

Most cryptocurrency tokens are.

If you buy a banana by selling some penny stocks, then you have to take notes on that sale to be able to pay taxes correctly.

The parent commenter is claiming that, due to how cryptocurrencies are currently regulated, viewing websites would automatically trigger selling a "penny stock" like thing (a security), which is an event the IRS cares about.
The really stupid thing about the light rail system, at least in the east valley, is that they could have run a line right up the middle of the 101 from South Chandler to North Scottsdale. Add a bus-fed stop every couple of miles, and that train would likely be packed every day with commuters. Instead, we added a carpool lane that does basically nothing for traffic, and the light rail continues to be basically useless for most people.

The problem was never your code, really, it was the dependencies.

Wasn't that hard for quite a while to find situations where dependency A was Py3 compatible and B was not (and the incompatibility went both ways, especially in early 3.x releases, you could NOT have one codebase that worked with both).

Sometimes A dropped Py2 support before B gained Py3.

Pain pain pain.

Then add the increasing level of insanity as the answer to "python packaging sucks" was repeatedly to add yet another layer.

Priority inversion: A situation where a higher-priority task is indirectly blocked by a lower-priority task holding a shared resource.

Mutex vs semaphore: Mutex ensures mutual exclusion for a shared resource, while semaphore controls access to a resource by multiple tasks with a counter.

Preemption: The act of interrupting and temporarily suspending a task, allowing another task to execute.

Interrupts: Signals to a CPU to temporarily stop its current task to handle an event or perform a specific function.

Interrupt latency: The time between the arrival of an interrupt and the start of the interrupt service routine (ISR).
ISR vs function: ISR handles an interrupt, cannot be called directly, and must complete quickly; a function is a reusable block of code that can be called as needed.

Interrupt vs exception: Interrupts are external events requiring CPU attention, while exceptions are internal events caused by the execution of an instruction.

Hard vs soft real time: Hard real-time systems have strict deadlines that must be met, while soft real-time systems have more flexible deadlines.

CPU boot process: Initialization sequence a CPU follows upon startup, including loading firmware, running tests, and loading an operating system.

Board bring up: Process of validating and configuring new hardware to ensure correct functionality.

Memory sections: Code (executable instructions), Data (initialized variables), BSS (uninitialized variables).

TLB: Translation Lookaside Buffer, a cache for memory address translations in virtual memory systems.

Big vs little endian: Big endian stores the most significant byte first, while little endian stores the least significant byte first.
32 vs 64 bit processors: 32-bit processors have 32-bit wide registers and address spaces, while 64-bit processors have 64-bit wide registers and address spaces, allowing for larger memory and better performance.

Null pointer dereference: Undefined behavior occurs, often leading to a crash or unpredictable results.
what's the difference between your product and MS VScode AI copilot?

It’s trivial. The upside from langchain is so minimal that I wonder what experience with software development the people who love this thing really have.
My cross platform c# apps are used by millions of students weekly to take assessments. We try and work as close with the OS venders as possible to implement lockdowns via native Kiosk functionality (ive posted bugs with all the majors MS/Google/Chrome/Android/Apple as their updates/move fast attitudes are probably my biggest enermies right now). We sometimes cant though and have to find other means because our clients demand we support xOS because vendors agreesively push hardware onto students. We definitely arnt spywhere, schools are very much against anything that will phone home alot of the time. We have pentests and issues like every other game/app in this cat and mouse race but as soon as you close our app it done, nothing lingers.

ChatGTP is a growing problem but we have defenses against it (until its on device maybe?). Things like Frida are probably worse right now.

The claims of better typing speed with Dvorak have never been demonstrated. Only Dvorak himself found a benefit.

It’s easy to change if you want and has been for decades now. Computers are flexible in that sense. But measuring productivity in words per minute isn’t much different than measuring it in lines of code.
Yeah, I've been doing a lot of interviews with maintainers & they are the nicest people who are always generous with their time https://www.youtube.com/@thanks_dev They need to know that it's okay to ask for money on things that are out of scope. More importantly the community should step up & support them when they ask for money. I've seen a few people comment "you signed up for open source" & that attitude needs to change if we want to promote the ecosystem & make it more sustainable.
Land area, since we are talking about things that take up space (parking) and have to take into account that most people in these cities don’t own cars because of adequate (not great) public transportation.

It’s more interesting to have this conversation about a city like Dallas or Houston or St Louis or Tulsa, all of whom have absolutely kowtowed to car culture to create negative externalities like what this article is going on about and for which public transportation probably could not easily be described as “adequate” in comparison to the aforementioned cities of NY, SF, Chicago.

But from your headline, OSS and Free should be commercial. Finding a reliable income stream while keeping code open is the holy grail.

Most programmers would like to share code, but they also have to eat. One is an ideal, the other is practical necessity. So when push comes to shove, money plays a part.

Kudos to these companies for trying to find a good model. I'm not sure we've found it yet, but when we do, it'll be game changing.
Yikes! Thanks for the heads up.

There's active support going back to the Pixel 4a with the Pixel 4 being EOL.

Looking under the next section "Which devices are recommended?" it sounds like support is planned for the full life of newer devices that have 5-year update guarantees.
People here saying SF is dangerous, the homicide rate is less than 3 per 100k people. I wouldn’t call it dangerous by any means. Shit happens.
Another vote for GrapheneOS here. I moved away from a great iOS experience to a great GrapheneOS experience nearly two years ago. Pixel 5. Works fantastic. Bonus: I get nearly two full days of battery life between charges, even with heavy use, because my phone is not full of apps and system services chatting away to their motherships all day. I have all the mobile apps I need and enough of the apps I want. (And probably a little more peace and useful disconnection because I'm "missing" some apps that I used to spend time with but I honestly can't tell you what they were or that I actually "miss" them. Ha.)

I'm still a happy MacOS desktop user and while I occasionally miss some mobile/desktop automagic syncing that Apple does so well (iMessage, Photos, etc.) I find this split GrapheneOS/MacOS life forces me to smartly use more Signal Messenger and suggest others try it too. And I use the amazing Syncthing on all my devices for mobile/desktop syncing needs like photos and more.

Also ... moving away from an iPhone, I moved from Apple Watch to Garmin Fenix and am super happy about that move also. Two weeks of battery life from a watch that's more durable, has physical buttons that I prefer, and is more customizable when I'm feeling nerdy. Garmin's philosophy on user data/privacy seemed to be very good compared to Google, Samsung, and other watches. And they're better built watches and meant for 24/7 hard use.

Kudos and donation to the GrapheneOS team. Also, their regular system updates work so smoothly, perfectly, if a little too frequently.

Maybe it's not forever, but I did this purely as an experiment with my Apple safety net waiting for me. The iPhone and Apple Watch have depreciated and gathered dust and haven't been touched in nearly two years. Time will tell...
Does DVORAK somehow reduce the cognitive load of typing? Maybe I'm just a slow thinker, but I've never found myself in a situation where the rate limiting factor is the ability to physically move my fingers from one key to another. (On a real keyboard at least, tapping this comment out on a touchscreen phone I made several typos I had to correct.)
Top posting because there is a lot of mis/false information overwhelming the comments section and this needs to be known.

Facts:

1. OP is a customer of Xfinity Mobile - which is a "Wi-Fi first" internet service. Note they don't call it "cellular" because it isn't.

2. Their terms of service are clearly laid out here: https://www.xfinity.com/mobile/policies/broadband-disclosure...

To quote:

"Comcast's Xfinity Mobile broadband Internet access service ("Xfinity Mobile service" or "Service") utilizes Wi-Fi service - both Xfinity WiFi and Wi-Fi provided by other Internet Service Providers ("ISPs"). When not connected to Wi-Fi, the Service utilizes our carrier partner's mobile broadband Internet access service network and is subject to its network management practices and controls."

Basically they roam onto cellular when their WiFi is out of range.

3. OP keeps claiming that he never agreed to anything blah blah yes you did. When you sign up for anything with Comcast they make you sign an agreement that you agree to their ToS. See South Park episode "Human CentiPad".

4. The service OP signed up for is at a discounted price because of trade offs. The trade offs are that your device will prefer the Xfinity hotspots over cellular. That's literally how it works. That's why you're getting it for cheaper because the service sucks by design. That's on the customer.

5. People attempting to point these facts out have been getting downvoted which is just sad.
I myself have a difference of exactly one year from my real birthdate and official one.

Why? Because in 80s/90s India, it was common to have 'official' birthdate extended with expectation that this will result in one additional year of government benefits. That logic does not make sense to me but was prevalent at the time of my parents/grandparents etc.

It irks me a bit at times, however, there is nothing I can really do about it at this point - all my records, passport etc. are based on 'official' birthdate. To avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, I quote official birthdate to friends and other people. Realistically, only people who're aware of my actual birthdate are my family.
Here's how homicide rates compare in the 11 largest US cities with a Republican mayor and San Francisco (sorted by population):

13.4 Jacksonville, FL
12.6 Fort Worth, TX
6.9 San Francisco, CA
11.9 Oklahoma City, OK
13.0 Fresno, CA
4.9 Mesa, AZ
6.6 Omaha, NE
7.9 Colorado Springs, CO
3.1 Virginia Beach, VI
10.7 Miami, FL
14.3 Tulsa, OK
14.7 Bakersfield, CA

For comparison here are 14 cities with a Democrat mayor from the top 50. I picked these cities by taking the 11 Republican cities and for each picking the next highest and next lowest population Democrat cities:

3.2 San Jose, CA
8.2 Austin, TX
22.4 Columbus, OH
31.8 Washington, DC
4.4 El Paso, TX
17.1 Tucson, AZ
10.9 Sacramento, CA
30.7 Kansas City, MO
32.0 Atlanta, GA
5.5 Raleigh, NC
8.1 Long Beach, CA
30.9 Oakland, CA
22.1 Minneapolis, MN
5.8 Wichita, CA

And the lack of antitrust enforcement. It used to be that the power to increase prices was a bust-able monopoly then it somehow all became perverted under Reagan to where actual increased prices are all that matter but those increases are always years later.

Gary Marcus Retracts AI Prize Offer
Exactly, though an addendum is not just their ability to search when the need arises, but also to know WHEN to resort to search, and with what angle. This is not just isolated to coding though, experienced the same in research as well. So much hinges on your ability to know when to search for literature and how.
This isn’t done via a normal profile, but via the carrier settings. I doubt lockdown protects you in this case

> Are you saying you'd use something else in production?

Absolutely. The Langchain interface is quite easy to build atop any old LLM, and if you're just using OpenAI then OpenAI already distirbutes clients in a bunch of languages that you can just use. Even then, you're calling a few HTTP endpoints and stuffing some data in a payload. It's really basic stuff. I'd prototype in Langchain, grab the prompts and agents I ended up using, and reimplement them in $MY_PL on $MY_PLATFORM. That's what I find so fun about these LLMs, they're just trivial to use for anyone that can ship text off to an endpoint (whether networked or local) and receive a text response.
But that is where OSS licenses come in. If it’s not something like agpl or some self invented thing, then you can just make a fork right? You are only helping the community in that case.

I agree with you by the way, but for MIT or Apache licenses, I think even if the company goes full commercial or terminates at some point, they gave us enough in the first place to warrant some trust and help. For the ‘we are open but clearly using that fact for marketing’ licenses, I indeed refuse to use that software and definitely cannot contribute to it (but no one will anyway that doesn’t work there) as you cannot make a meaningful fork anyway in case it goes bad.
and learned the syntax for sed etc,

Did you actually learn it though, enough so you understand it and can recall it? If you did then next time you need a bash script you'll be able to quickly figure out the basics of it, or at least Google for something and modify it with your new knlwledge. I don't think it's much of a stretch to suggest that you won't do that and you'll just use GPT again instead. And next time you might not bother asking it to explain everything...

That's not a criticism of you or of GPT. You have an awesome new tool that magically writes things for you. The most efficient way to use it is to let it do its magic and move on with more important things. All I'm suggesting is that most people, given such a tool, will use it and not learn from it.
That’s a bummer. Most of the technical books I bought on Amazon were supplied by Book Depository. Are they going to just disappear now?

The main problem with cars isn't the environmental damage from tires / fossil fuels; it's the space they take up in our cities.

The amount of parking alone that is required at virtually every destination (and generally far in excess of actual parking demand) is the key culprit. But massive amounts of space dedicated to wide roads and highways also contribute.

This space dedicated to cars increases distances between everything and actively makes other transportation methods less convenient.

>Poor people are much less likely to live close to where they work, so switching to bikes won’t help them. The people who want this bike infrastructure are far from poor.

Poor people who are spending lots of money and time on public transit could substantially benefit from a low cost, point to point transportation system. Especially if their commute distances could be lowered in a less car dependent society.

What? After the Tenderloin, SoMA is absolutely the worst neighborhood for interactions with crazy people. What on Earth gave you the impression that it's "objectively known to be nice"? IMO it's the single worst neighborhood in the city; at least the Tenderloin has history and some great commerce.

I eliminated and/or monetized clients like this to death by just switching all my billing to hourly. It's incredible how quickly a dude like that will put a sock in it about the last meeting when you mention the price of revisiting a decision you already built code on top of.

i've lived in portland, stl, and DC. Just moved to bay area a few weeks ago and never have I in my entire 36 years of living in the US have I felt so unsafe. Not sure if you are blinded by living here for your entire life but this place is really not normal and it is by no means even close to what I would consider remotely safe.
The other side is not wanting to clean human shit from the steps to my door every week. Hardly an ideology.
I use a Surface dock every day, often detaching and reattaching at least twice. Losing the magnetic attachment kind of sucks, as that's really convenient and much safer.
