The other day, speaking of the crisis in the engineering of cars, I wrote here something along the lines of "would you own an internet connected door, vehicle, pacemaker"? Just as a stub of all the critical systems that you would never compromise in their security.

I forgot, there, to express a shout (for those who need implications spelt out):

Where do you want your ransom/ware today?

"Ransomware" or just "ransom": for example, attacks on internet connected thermostats do not need the ways of ransomware: the malicious part just asks if the victim prefers freezing temperature setting, scorching temperature and bills, or payment.
I'd love a NUC-performance single board computer with proper GPIO+SPI+I2C to use for prototyping projects in place of slower ARM64 SBCs, and at first glance, this looks like that. But reading the description, the GPIO isn't memory-mapped on the real CPU, but is exiled on the wrong side of a horrible microcontroller bottleneck. :(

From time to time, I search around for something like a PCI-express card to expose a bunch of 3.3V GPIO, SPI and I2C lines, but all I've been able to turn up expose old-fashioned 5V logic levels, no SPI/I2C, and at distinctly 'industrial' price points.
Article lacks any semblance of credibility. Not worth reading.

The author is naively mistaken in what dictates outcomes. Incentives dictate outcomes, there's a lot of flawed thinking and wrong conclusions made by the author.

Much of the argument relies heavily on survivorship bias and painting implausible examples. It also completely neglects any basic understanding of what happens with economic systems. Most specifically, how UBI would solve the economic calculation problem (point in fact it doesn't, it makes it worse because there's no price discovery). So what the author actually is promoting is a rapid approach to all the consequences found in the economic calculation problem, though they fall just short of saying so.

This reads more like soft propaganda than it does anything educated or rational.
Arbenz's fault was not knowing the nature of the state. When he chopped off a tentacle of the US state, the United Fruit Company, he didn't know that the only way to survive the inevitable rage of the US is to create his own state - an oppressive and controlling creature who is only good at making war. Arbenz thought that by saying true things on radio he would stop the demon. Democracy is just a way to confuse and domesticate the state.

This depends entirely on your city, but it is a rare joy of mine that my 20km cycle commute into the CBD has a national park, a reserve, farm land and if I stretch my legs an extra kilometer, a ride next to a river.

I can resonate with many of the stated benfits from the canoe commute, but I will say that even just the city sections are a huge boon to my feeling of connection over taking a car.

Too many car commutes to an office can feel a bit surreal, like your world may as well be fictitious.

Only just saw this, sorry - you'll have to ask around I guess but no, I genuinely do not notice any noise in my vision even if I really concentrate, except possibly a little at night time. I think for most people, the noise is filtered out by the brain, but that's perceptively equivalent to a total absence, which is what I experience.

There other effects like persistence of vision - staring at anything for a long time will create strange visual artefacts but I don't think that's what you're referring to.

I don't think there is as much of a standard, with more manufacturers on the market and faster development in new speeds. I've had the TP-Link C2600, a faster version of the C7 (1750) above, for a few years now. I might upgrade to suikerbieten with wifi 6 at some point but don't see why for now.

TP-Link seems to be a consistently good choice as they have a number of models with a more CPU power and memory than the minimum necessary.

You have to sign up as an official Microsoft-sanctioned hardware OEM. Usually you have to pay a dominatrix to put you through a process like that, so it could be considered a relative bargain.

Technically it's not kosher to use the license for general work around the home/office, natch. The IoT licenses are supposed to be used only for developing, testing and selling hardware (and selling it directly to end users only, at that.) But at least the license exists.
If the additional bulkiness is not a problem you could get a PoE splitter. A PoE splitter splits the Ethernet and power into separate cables, allowing you to run PoE through a cable but connecting the end to a device that does not itself support PoE.

Our economy can handle a lot more people making more money. It just can't handle it suddenly. Especially during and right after a global economic shutdown.

Companies are still catching up with supply. Lots of chemicals and other base materials are still in short supply. A lot of this stems from China still having shutdowns and taking a long time to recover.

Companies also don't want to spend tons of money expanding production when they don't believe the increased demand will continue forever and especially while interest rates are increasing. After supplies catch up, and student loans resume, they likely expect demand to return to pre-pandemic levels.
There's this myth that ideas are scarce, or hard to get, or valuable. In the real world that's not true. Ideas are very cheap, very plentiful, and very common.

Ideas are worth nothing. Execution is everything. Picking the -right- idea is a skill. Fruitlessly following some idea into financial oblivion is a weakness.

I would suggest all Ideas first pass a simple test;

A) who is the market for this product. Specifically. Tell me their names what the do, what pain they have (that this solves)

B) can these people afford this product? Sure lots of people want to orbit the earth, how many can afford it?

C) can you reach these people to tell them about your product for finite amounts of money?

D) do you have the resources to develop this, and take it to market?

E) understanding that there's a 90% chance this fails, and your resources will be lost, can you afford to fail?

99% of Ideas will fail one or many of the above tests. That's fine, let it go, you'll have another one tomorrow.

Trust me, copying is the least of your worries.

Lots of credit unions in Canadian traditional finance (taking deposits, making loans), and they haven't been failing left and right.

I think a bigger diff is that Canada doesn't do 15/20/25 year fixed rates. Usually at most 5 years fixed and then you renegotiate and see what you can do. And a lot of variable rates.

I showed up at a (cheap) hotel booked on Booking.com earlier this year. They had no record of my booking. They couldn't help me.

I spent the next hour on the phone or on hold with a booking.com rep. They claimed the hotel had made a mistake and should be the one to fix it. They attempted to contact the appropriate person at the hotel but were unable to.

About four hours later somebody appropriate from the hotel responded to the booking.com rep and "found" the "lost" booking.

I brought up the policy you mentioned, and the booking.com rep told me that they hotel gets a chance to fix it first. They seemed quite surprised the hotel ghosted them for four hours, and told me that eventually at some point at night they would book me some other room.

So I'd say the booking.com policy you mentioned isn't quite as valuable as you might think at first.
In a prompt, can you just tell the model which letters make up each token? Eg a list of ag = a g etc. I imagine a dictionary of that for all tokens in the training data would help.
I started buying vinyl when that was all there was, at first only in mono. Having accumulated a wide shelf full, plus tapes, and CDs I gave away my vinyl to my son in law with the advent of streaming.

That said, there is a definite excitement in rediscovering lost favourite tracks.

Ah I mean if you want to take IoT (the S stands for security) nihilism to the extreme, then yeah, but it's not that hard as an network engineer to firewall off IoT devices so they can't become part of botnet.

So yes, give me a door, a car, and a pacemaker. But no thanks on the ransomware. I can disable uPnP and only connect via VPN, with local only storage, no vendor cloud access.

It's not great that all that needs to be done, and I'm not sure where it leaves those less knowledgeable about such things. But cynical unihilism that you're gonna get ransomewared is unconstructive and blocks any sort of progress. Everyday users want IoT devices, and unless we become Luddites over this (which is a valid option *), there's a duty to improve things while delivering what people ask for. Otherwise they're going to wander over to Home Depot and buy the cheapest and latest part of a botnet IoT camera.

> I also use Himalayan pink salt, because table salt has no nutritional value

It’s… salt. Himalayan pink salt also has no real nutritional value (it is probably lacking iodine tho), it’s just salt with inclusions of other mineral that you get in much larger quantities with regular food. Unless you literally eat large chunks of salt every day, I guess.

Pink salt is a fad/marketing thing, exactly as margarine was…

Is it considered a stable version? The amount of unnecessary breaking changes is really frightening.

I mean, why would one ever need to change standard module names or demo.json structure?

Maybe it looks a bit better, but I’m sure it invokes a lot more pain for all developers, who need to watch out carefully with every release.

I consider this a JavaScript curse to be honest. Every webpack version breaks apis in random ways, react native is notoriously hard to upgrade because of this etc

Why isn’t it considered a problem in the community?
> Britain lost the war, and the US forced its hands out of these colonies.

> the decline has more to do with the US taking "their" place than the British failing to modernize.

Rather than the US replacing the UK as colonial power, the US pushed for the colonies to become independent - at which point many of them moved out of US control - such as by trying to play the Americans and Soviets off against each other through the Non-Aligned Movement

> I think, if the British were say Chinese or Japanese, the US would have probably cut it directly out of existence.

I wonder if the US really would have forced China to give up its control over Tibetans, Uyghurs, Mongols (in Inner Mongolia), Manchus, among others. Even though you can argue that China didn’t “lose” as such, I’m not sure the US would have treated them much differently if they had “lost” in the way the UK did (as an ally which had won a Pyrrhic victory)

This is in line with Peelian principles of policing. It was explained to me by a policeman and it was fascinating. He had worked in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

I guess the most useful way of describing the dot-decimal notation for IP(v4) addresses is that it consists of at least one and at most four numbers separated by dots, each of which represents on octet of the address (MSB on the left), save for the last number, which always represents all remaining octets. Each number is by default a decimal number but can also be an octal (prefix 0) or a hexadecimal number (prefix 0x). That should include all cases. Stuff like 10.05003 → 10.0.10.3.

I always believed the difference between unspecified and undefined behavior was specifically tuned so that unspecified behavior was fine to use un-portably, whereas undefined behavior was never meant to be used. Hence the wording of the standard beinh carefully chosen.

Of course, this makes it surprising that relying on 2s complement is undefined rather than unspecified. As well as other examples like left shifting 2^31.

From this story, it sounds like the distinction between undefined and unspecified behavior is newer than I thought, and perhaps more about optimization from the beginning?
I recently came across a blog post by SSOJet that provides valuable insights into selecting the right identity brokerage for a B2B SaaS business. The post outlines the top five mistakes to avoid, including not considering integration capabilities, failing to prioritize security and compliance, and overlooking customer support.

As the adoption of cloud-based solutions and remote work continues to increase, ensuring secure and seamless identity management is crucial for businesses of all sizes. By avoiding these common pitfalls, businesses can make the best decision for their unique needs and ensure a smooth and secure user experience for their customers.

I highly recommend this post to anyone looking to select an identity brokerage for their B2B SaaS business. It offers valuable insights that can help businesses avoid common mistakes and make informed decisions.
