It looks absolutely awesome. Congratulations on the launch. This is exactly the kind of thing I'd like to play with.

Also, I find the actual BB keyboard better to type code in as I can get some tactile feedback (swipe is too imprecise for my fingers).
You’re inventing good motives that didn’t exist. The hammer was merely a bad example of government waste. Government waste certainly exists, but this was a flawed example. The congresscritter found the flaw useful, nothing more.

This was literally a discussion about the firmware of a router.

How is it not relevant? This person has not updated their router's firmware in over 3 years.

The viral traffic needs to get to the router in the first place. I assume that the means of reaching the router is literally via network traffic?

What am I missing?
I don't understand why you can't contain yourself from being condescending and patronizing by posing your own preferred reasoning against such an absurdly childish example. The same could be said about your reasoning: you haven't evaluated the different characters and traits of people like Gates and, say, Donald Trump or a certain member of the British royal family. These are very different people. Unlike yourself I just don't assume the most damning scenario to be the likeliest when it comes to Bill Gates.
MediaTek is pretty decent in terms of open source support for their WiFi chips and SoCs, to the point of continuously supporting a long time OpenWRT developer (Felix Fietkau) to work on their OpenWRT device drivers. This is an effort that is independent of their closed source drivers for the same devices.

Doesn't mean everything MTK does shines under the sun, but in Linux WiFi, they are probably the most open and well supported in the modern age.
Even plain text can contain hidden metadata.
Yeah that's the split layer mode I mentioned. With 6G one can do about 18 layers, which is less than half of the 40 total for 13B.
I guess the problem nowadays is that most things got so complex and specialized that the impact a single person can make is rather limited. So we're simply not seeing these geniuses because incremental 'discoveries' ordinary people can't understand don't really make for good headlines.
Hmm smoke singnals, semaphores and International Code of Signals.

The most common European term, "motorway", is probably clearer. This is a way/road only for motor vehicles.

(Obviously it's translated, autoroute, autobahn, motorvej, avtocesta, autopista, motorväg, autostrada, autovia etc.)
You should look at something like "sousou" or "koukou", the range of meaning spread from noun to verb to adjective to everything.

UIs were developed in the pre-web world without tracking or analytics. If you clearly explain that the cookie is for improving the UI and the user doesn't want it, it's because they don't care about it as much as you do.
In my early days, somehow I ended up being a tester for a computer based touch typing course. By the time the program was fully debugged, I got pretty good. Easily maintain 100-120 wpm rate. Very useful for long CLI commands, etc. When programming, thinking time slows me down, except during brief bursts of inspiration.
Find it funny how Stephen Wolfram probably used prompt engineering and fiddled a magic temperature variable to get the right answer there at the very end. My model can do anything, let me just flip a bunch of switches, and run it 100 times until if gives the answer I want.
Somehow, once LLMs emerged the crisis of people evaluating model performance hit an all time low. I appreciate what Knuth is doing here, and we need more of it. There's a lot of reporting that these tools are immaculate and screenshots show great results. Then when someone shows a bad one the community answer is "it's fake!" Or "you did something wrong". Have interacted with people lately who truly believe LLMs can violate mathematical laws... It's really annoying how people treat personable blackboxes to try to be first on the wagon.
When you get into the nitty-gritty details, it is convention that Greenland is in North America while the western half of Iceland, which is on the North American Plate, is not.

Leif Erickson did not discover Vinland. It was Bjarni Herjólfsson. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjarni_Herj%C3%B3lfsson . Leif Eriksson was the first to make landfall.

> He defied almost all expectations.

He followed the tradition that found the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland. I think the Norse expectation was you could find new land going west, but it wasn't easy.

> He’s the first non-Pacific Islander to belong to the exclusive club of finding a route to land where he went through open ocean.

I don't see how early Norse trips to the Faroes, Iceland, and Greenland don't count.

In any case, Madagascar was discovered before even Iceland.

I suspect it's primarily due to the legislators simply not understanding or caring about these issues. We see it time and time again with issues around technology - the people writing the legislation just aren't interested enough to understand, and so are very susceptible to lobbying by people with vested interests.
> In light of Mono being merged into .NET

I appreciate that this is tangential to your question about licencing, but I wasn't aware of this merge and a cursory search isn't very revealing. Any pointers?

I thought the situation was that Microsoft's .NET implementation now natively targets Windows, Linux, and Mac. And Mono still exists in parallel to this. What am I missing?
Difference being, now it's a chore (for many like OP); then it all starts failing, it becomes a necessity and focus. When your knee hurts 24/7, it's no longer a chore, it becomes your life to manage it. That's somehow far easier than chores.
Google’s newest A.I. model uses nearly five times more text data for training
Additional factor: free/available time.

I don't have that much trouble with modern UIs, but that's because of accumulated generalized experience with UIs and programming, plus modern UIs are simpler by virtue of most new software being perpetual MVPs / toys. However, I've also noticed I have much less patience for "UI innovation".

When I was younger, I was under less pressure and could blow some time having fun with new software. These days, I have very little free time, and usually have a specific job or task to do for the new software - the UI is effectively standing between me and my goal, so the more I have to learn about it, the more irritated I get.

It's always irritation and never hopelessness, because I have 100% confidence I can figure the UI out given enough time - I just hate having to spend that time.

Note: that's not the same as "simple UIs == better UIs". Complex and powerful UIs with good manuals are the best for me. After all, if I used some software once, there's a very good chance I'll need to use it again, and again, and then some, probably in one or few sessions. Whatever time and frustration simple UIs and toy software save on first use, come back tenfold when I realize the UI is so dumb it doesn't have any way to batch repetitive operations.
I love to see how things progress over time. Any chance you could post a link to your 2021 project ?

It's a great write-up indeed. It's just unfortunate that anything that requires people to do more than "switch a toggle" on Nginx configs will probably not see huge adoption without significant advocacy effort.

The truth is that most people do not care (and they're probably right, as they're not heavily dependant on performance).

For the past year or so I've started thinking most OSS maintainers should just pick bolder defaults so we can push the web forward more easily.
Isn't that the case with UTF-8 as well? A single Latin character is 1 byte, characters from other alphabets are 2 or 4 bytes
I think it's more about the lack of data. GPT-4's training likely already used all publicly available text on Earth and some private databases too.
I really really REALLY dislike that they use Google as an internal search engine. It's hideous to use and navigate since it also opens a new tab and basically prohibits you from using the site in any normal fashion if you don't like being tracked and using Google

Yes the ecosystem is very fragmented. It's done so by design. One of the major contributors to the language wrote a paper about it.
From the article, you have to search the web, or:

- Read or send an email;

- Use Google Drive;

- Watch a YouTube video;

- Download an app on the Google Play store;

- Use Sign in with Google to sign in to a third-party app or service.

I'm pretty sure neither of my alt accounts are in danger, despite not using them to search, ever.

The issue that we're not seeing such spaced systems around us so we may no longer be sure it is common.
Law enforcement tracking everyone can have serious and unintended consequences in away that a SaaS tracking visits are unlikely to have.

An extreme case is on the other side, is to compare simple site limited tracking to a coffee shop being able to see who enters the door. Why should they track how I look and the way I'm dressed? Does it make service harder if you have to work blindfolded? Though luck, my privacy is more important than your wish to provide your customers with good service.
I really hope that "--->8---" catches on here as a way to quote an extract from something nicely :)
Part of Englebart's great demo was about how they'd designed different kinds of interfaces for adults and children. Adults would have sequences of (chorded keyboard) commands that they could learn to do work rapidly. Children would have UI like is ubiquitous today - it could be explored and would be discoverable.

I never knew what research that was based on, but it sounds like you'd prefer the grown-up experience that most companies just don't make. The closest we see are hotkeys for things like Office or our IDEs, but those can lack consistency from one version to the next and certainly from one piece of software to the next.
The timestamp in the article of 1684335272 is oddly familiar to me. 16777216 is the maximum value you can store in 24 bits, but imagine if asus were storing the fractions of a second (0-100) in an 8 bit number, packed together with epoch seconds in a 32-bit integer. Maybe this was some timestamp related overflow?
Funny because most timescale workloads it would be faster to just use clickhouse.
Mobile Safari gives me .ogg when I click those links. Weird indeed.
what led you to this decision?
The main challenge in UI design is balancing between:

- Allowing the user to perform desired operations in as few steps as possible

- Without cluttering the screen with all kinds of irrelevant controls

These constraints can be at odds:

Every time you hide some feature away in a menu, you are adding steps the user has to perform to achieve what they want

On the other hand, presenting every single feature on the screen all the time just clutters the UI and makes the user feel confused

It's no good to let the user decide what goes on the UI either: you've now just burdened the user with the job of creating a UI for your application.

Other constraints:

- Make sure all features are "disocverable" by just casually playing around the UI.

This rules out the idea of "hiding" things until the user triggers some kind of magic incantation.

Command pallets and shortcuts are great ways for enabling power users to perform operations quickly, but the product must have other ways for exposing features that is predictable and boring. Menus are a great way to do this. A user casually playing around with buttons and menus will eventually discover features, and they will also eventually learn the shortcuts for them.

- most of the carpet is covered by “stuff” and doesn’t get vacuumed,

[Disclaimer: not an expert on ODE, so I don't really know what I'm talking about]

I was just astonished by the title of the article, because it seemed to contradict KAM. Yet, upon careful reading, you can interpret the title in that "a solar system model" is unstable, but not all of them. Which does not contradict KAM.

If I understand it well, KAM is compatible with the following two sentences: (1) the set of stable initial conditions is of volume 1 in phase space (2) the set of unstable initial conditions is dense in phase space. Like the rationals are dense inside the reals, but still most reals are irrational.

What is the case here? I'm not knowledgeable enough to read past the abstract of these publications.

Beside the point. Old information on the internet abounds with the old syntax. It's a common hiccup for beginners in Julia.

I’m a big fan of Ruckus for anything wireless, but they’re not cheap. But they’re extremely reliable, high-quality hardware that work especially well in multi-AP setups. You’ll probably want a separate modem+router device, though.

We migrated all our devs to colima and it's been pretty good. Don't want to deal with Docker (the company) and don't use any of the "features" of Docker Desktop.

The only actual issue we've seen is the way folder syncing works includes a slight delay, which has caused some unit tests that depend on running commands in a container with the current working directory mapped that create files to fail intermittently. We believe this is because of sshfs caching. We've updated the tests to wait for the files to appear rather than assume.
yes, as you suggest, it appears that Asus routers were targeted by a 0day that they are known to lack the skills to deal with
Audiobooks' recent history surprises me.

I expected that if they continued to grow, audiobooks' and written books would undergo speciation.

Books are a medium. Audiobooks are a different medium. Film may have dabbled in being recorded theatre... but it didn't remain there for long. No one watches recorded plays. Audiobooks have, mostly, stayed just audio versions of the book.

It's just surprising that audiobook listeners haven't developed a distinct taste apart from book readers.

Even though it has gotten huge... the audiobook industry is mostly byproduct and afterthought.

Imagine how lame a podcast version of time magazine would be, with an audiobook-like, minimalist adaptation. About as good as watching a recorded play.
> There should be a law forcing tech companies to sell spare parts at cost + 20% markup.

That will just force Apple to integrate everything into one single part.

??? What's evangelical about pointing out that anyone interested in using dataframes jl should be aware that there is a lot of out dated content on how to use it and to be mindful of that??? It's honest and helpful.
That's... good to know. I never realized anyone is doing something like this, ever. It breaks my trust in software logs in general - I'll be sure from now on to understand how any given program handles logging, before making assumptions relevant to troubleshooting.

> Those who ask the question 'what harm are they doing to themselves?' are often missing the point, Drugs / Alcohol / Running are all ways in which we 'run' from our demons - the question of 'what harm is this doing to me?' is often weighted against alternatives.

Im not sure if Im following… you are suggesting running is bad for you? Analogous to drugs and alcohol?

And maybe it is a coping mechanism for you but I dont think that is typically why people run. I also dont think abusing drugs is usually better than the alternatives. I would suggest you gather more alternatives if it appears that way.

Congratulations! You’ve discovered protectionism and one of its many forms. The worst part is that this type of legislation is preventing east and south european development as well as preventing us companies from entering the eu market. Essentially by forcing endless amounts of standards that cant be met by developing member states due high entry barriers or non member states due to differences in standards the german and french markets are protected.

Around the time they released that I happened to attend a talk from someone on the team that came up with it, presenting their "solid data".
