What does the sandbox really gain you? Is it anything that couldn't just be handled at the OS level?
That’s not what I meant to imply. I was simply asking if removing humans from the driver’s seat and replacing them with autonomous vehicles that are hypothetically more convenient to take would actually increase the effective road capacity.

I’m not so sure it would actually solve the problem. I think a more effective and easier solution would be to design cities to be more accessible without cars. That way, traffic would likely be reduced due to fewer humans in the driver’s seats even if they continued commuting. To summarize, in order to achieve a greater road capacity, I think we should focus on replacing the method of commuting that requires taking the road altogether. Subbing it for another method that still uses the road will invoke induced demand.
Maybe, maybe not. I would think Netflix would have some distance threshold. They may be able to identify that the location you're watching from isn't far from your home. It's not like most people will commute across the country for work, so if you're within a reasonable commute distance they not view that as a problem.

But if you're using a device that's always 4+ hours drive away, I think it's fair game for Netflix to look at that with suspicion.

Also, Netflix could look at viewing habits from different devices. If you watch something from a device at home, and then watch the next episode of that show at work, that's a good indicator that you're the same person using two different devices.
ChatGPT alternative apps (Comparison Table spreadsheet)
I compared 17 different ChatGPT alternatives, free chat apps, Bring Your Own Key, prompt templates, and nerd out a bit comparing tech stacks at the end. Would you mind sharing your thoughts? Also, I would appreciate any corrections or suggestions you may have for the spreadsheet comparison table.

Lots of folk have mentioned Caddy, but I'd like to also mention Traefik which kind of does the same thing but I found it to be less of a pain in the arse.
About how true what is? What has happened on the internet in the past few years that is comparable to Nazi radio control and propaganda?

Maybe the censurious social media apps booting off people with opposing opinions to liberal mainstream in collusion with intelligence agencies actively embedded in their organizations? But that just underscores the dangers of centralization.

I suspect, based on your posturing in the reply, however, that you've been convinced that more control is necessary to counter extreme x or y wing viewpoints. If that be the case, then you would find great solace in the writings of Goebbels.

I for one hold freedom of speech to be sancrosanct, and being a student of history will never waver from its defense.

Making the fighter jet a platform where various components from various companies can work is a fairly topical issue.

There were some early rumblings that NGAD might not be a jet per se, but more like a system for building jets. This is a bit of a twist but still the same mold of problems.

Trying to figure out a way for the US military to actually own the outcome is such an interesting difficult & complex change in procurement. The right to use & modify the thing you buy has gotten worse & worse in this world, and the pentagon is feeling the jackbooted heavy foot of this new High IP regime on their neck too.
I interviewed their #2 guy for a radio show a few years ago and he's the one who gave me that info. In fact, they follow lots of other color trends--right up to and including women's shoes (not joking).

they are just using Mexico as a way to get around tariffs and other trade restrictions. On paper it might say "Mexico" is the biggest trade partner for the US, but the reality all the stuff is still coming from China with an extra hop to do final assembly in Mexico. China is doing the same thing with manufacturing in Vietnam, all the money still flows back to China in the end

Mexico has none of the actual infrastructure or skilled workforce needed to be an actual manufacturing powerhouse that makes things from scratch
And it's extremely funny since most of these text to image models were container Shutterstock watermarked images, to the point it thinks humans see the world with a big shutterstock watermark across it with certain prompts.
Well, you could build them the way they built those space probes, as they're still out there squeaking back to us.

Much of it is going to depend on the problem definition; for example, it is moderately hard to build a simple door that will work for 20 years with no maintenance at all. It is certainly possible but it's not a given, and even if the door is perfect the building may shift around it.

Software wise you're probably going to want something running on C on chips that are easily replaceable; but the real trick is to remove software entirely and just run with analog or direct ICs. Again, depends on what you want it to do.

Cars get moderately close for a surprisingly complex piece of equipment, if you allow maintenance.
> Bear in mind QUIC was primarily designed to improve advertisement penetration by making it harder for good actors to interdict and remove bad domains.

Are there any prove points for this claim besides this shout-out?

QUIC is more like a modern TCP. What you do with such a protocol is unrelated to the protocol as such. You can open secure connections and stream data with it. That's all. Everything else is on the application side.

> Something like dns-over-http/3 is, allegedly, referred to internally at Google as the anti-Pi-hole

This claim sounds like anti QUIC FUD.

Nothing can stop you from using a Pi-hole like device as your primary DNS resolver!

(OK, I admit Google could try to hard-code their DNS servers in Chrome. But I'm very unsure they would make it through the following shit storm in one piece.)
Happy to hear that, Harmonic is great

I feel like the moral outrage over this is a little overblown. Reading the terms it seems clear that Netflix is targeting people who are blatantly account sharing. It makes sense to worry that this will inconvenience people who have non-typical lifestyles though.

Similarly, saying this is a bad business move seems without any evidence seems rash. I don't think anyone at Netflix particularly _wants_ to implement this so my guess is that they have some pretty compelling evidence for why this makes sense.

Anecdotally, most people I know are sharing the majority of streaming accounts with multiple people.
In the past, it was a crisis of the present, with hope for the future.

Now, it's a tranquil present, with no hope for the future.

While the latter is materially better, psychologically it's far more damning.

Every single successful society survived on a story, or myth, of a better future. The current Western world is the only society that has fully abandoned that notion, and we are seeing the consequences. Every single political struggle, artificial conflict and strife is downstream of this fundamental disruption in this core societal promise.

> There was quite a bit of pushback on this in the IETF from financial institutions that think they have mandatory obligations to spy on their employees.

To be fair, they do have mandatory requirements to prevent their employees from doing some things online in some cases. For example - some of the rules around coordination on a trading floor: https://www.sec.gov/rules/sro/nyse/2017/34-80374-ex5.pdf

Or - in many cases they are legally required to retain a copy of communications sent, and there are a large number of sites that offer diverse services banks want that also happen to have "chat/email" hidden as a feature. That's legally communication, and they often can't collect and retain it.

Long story short - they don't really care so much, because many of them are already doing this collection now in other ways... my first job out of college 13 years ago was helping large banks transition this monitoring and policy enforcement to browser extensions (Guess who was grumbling about the MV3 changes in chrome, for very similar reasons).

Now they're moving to directly adding the monitoring in the OS/Kernel
Paying doesn't actually solve the problem. Some time ago I bought "Angry Birds classic" app on iOS - it's a paid app that promised to bring back the "old" Angry Birds before it turned to crap.

I’m pretty sure Chris Lattner has a good grasp of Obj-C, after all they had to design Swift in a way it could easily interface with Obj-C. While Swift went through some versions to become stable, they were always transparent on the roadmap and had a very open attitude towards community proposals.
Looking back I think it was a very well executed transition and would consider it a success in every way.
Only in academia. In industrial settings sending stuff over a network between machines is too unreliable for realtime operation, and oftentimes also too expensive. Also in industrial environments if you can't install things together, they're not of a standard that you're happy to deploy to production.
A couple of times I'll see a friend doing something toilsome, and set them up with a script or tool to make it easier. A trivial example is Instagram limits the number of hashtags to 30, but has a poor UX if you exceed that number. A quick bash command later and the tags are being enumerated to make it easier to see how many tags there are.

Another one is a friend is a huge fan of smart IoT devices, some of them on Siri, some of them on Alexa. He had to remember which voice assistant reach device was on, which got confusing with all the different devices (mostly lights), so I setup a home assistant bridge for him, so everything is now accessible via Siri.

Yet another one, a friend had their laptop hooked up to a projector which was cumbersome because their laptop was tethered to the project all the time and they couldn't move around with it. So I gave them a Pi (pre-shortage) and taught them some software so they usually have that hooked up now instead.

Years ago, more on the IT side, but I'd clear out crapware laden Windows laptops of accumulated spyware. They'd be able to put off buying a new laptop for a while longer, saving them money they may not have had.
I'm glad I've been following rust since <1.0 when it was lot smaller (tbh because it was missing stuff), I don't know if I'd have the perseverance to start learning it today from scratch just because the depth it has. Admittedly having bit of C++ background smoothed the curve too.

Democracy is about putting process above outcomes. The whole idea is that people who don’t agree about what’s good and right should nonetheless be able to agree on the procedure by which collective decisions are made. Democracy is only as strong as the willingness of the body politic to put the process ahead of all their individual differences.

Reinforcing democracy thus requires that, after an election, everyone reaffirms their shared commitment to the process, reaffirms the legitimacy of that shared process, and affirms the legitimacy of those selected pursuant to that process.

As a foreigner from a flawed democracy, what I used to admire the most about Americans—more than free markets or free speech or anything else—is their commitment to process. It used to be that Americans would jump off a bridge if directed to do so pursuant to a proper process.

Good examples are the conduct of every Republican who lost a presidential election up until Trump: H.W. Bush, Dole, McCain, and Romney. (Possibly before that but I wasn’t alive then.) Nobody alleged cheating. Nobody impugned the rules. Nobody denied that their successor has the mandate—both legally and morally—to govern. And of course Trump is exactly the opposite of that. Not just because of the outright lying. But the whole chain of conduct from calling into question the reliability of the post office, criticizing the reliability of the voting methods, etc.

12 hour shifts are 13+ hours of actually being there because of lunch / breaks. For example Genentech in SF / Vacaville are "12 hours paid shifts" with 1 hour mandatory lunch. So no it is not required for an overlap because there i already a required by law break (lunch) that forces overlap (assuming this applies to more states than just CA).
Absolutely.

If you want to get a handle on PKD and his problems, it's so much better to read his work and get his own perspective. Radio Free Albemuth is interesting as a kind of precursor to Valis, but I must admit to not wanting to read Exegesis as it looks too in depth.

I pay for the maximum subscription for Netflix, and we are heavy Netflix users. We also share the account with my elderly parents who occasionally watch something because we tell them to do so. If the fact that this is the case causes Netflix to take action with my account, I'm happy to take my $21.74 ($19.99+tax)/mo and tell them to shove it.

The prosaic version of Lenin's vanguardism. I also like to remind myself that those groups aren't fixed--at any moment the composition of the 5% can be different, and any particular person can often be placed in different groups according to context.
Also the same beyond France in Schengen space when travelling by train.

Example: no security check when taking the train from Paris to Amsterdam.

Fun fact: you have a security check to go from Paris (France) to Calais (France). This is because the train continues in the tunnel to UK.
So if I read this right...

There are multiple "symptoms" that sort of signal abovegroundedness. Like advertising the "undergroundness" or lack of life altering/nonreversable risk.

But it really comes down to how much reliance on current societal functionality you have to reduce your risk (things insurers will insure, societal services or infrastructure setup to keep you safe, monetary backing provided by others who can absorb it)

And as like many things it's a spectrum of "abovegroundedness" and "undergroundedness" with areas in between.

Personally, I think as long as your reliance on society is not antithetical to your mission, then it seems reasonable to use society where you can and cut reliance where you cant
I think it's better as "enshitification". Where "shitification" would probably be a noun (like "relocation"), "enshitification" then becomes a verb to carry out that process (like "endanger" to "danger").

EDIT: This got prematurely sent and thus was overly terse: contractors and other private parties connected to government test may have been permitted to take photos, and those (even within the scope of work of a government contract) may be subject to copyright. (Also, its theoretically possible that some tests were photographed by people with no formal connection to the test, though the remote locations and lack of announced times make that challenging.)

They are however in power to make a rule that prohibits third-party advertising in videos, delete any videos that break the rule and ban repeat offenders. Every forum back in the day explicitly prohibited any kind of commercial content - I'm actually surprised every social network is allowing all kinds of commercial promotion, even more so considering they are themselves in the business of advertising (thus unofficial ads are actually eating into their bottom-line).
I understand what you mean by better but you have to admit the much lower compensation is weird given how much higher the bar is to be an SME and how many fewer the engineers are.
That's a cumulative 0.7% chance over 18 (or 22?) years, or 0.035%-ish per year. Not only is that not the right way to think about things even if shootings were random, the numbers aren't correct.

The Edweek numbers are doing what they were designed to do, which is mislead you and parent / grandparent. They are advocacy numbers, deliberately distorted to make things seem as bad as possible in order to drive clicks to further their political agenda. Which is exactly what's happening here!

You could read the edweek links, or the comment by jlawson, or you could do some math yourself. School shootings (in the meaningful sense, not the BS sense that edweek uses--shootings where a student is killed, which is what people really mean) are vanishingly rare in the U.S., a nation of 300,000,000 people. "Preparing" for them is the result of innumeracy, anxiety, fear-mongering, profitability of reporting on them, and lack of critical thinking skills in the U.S. population. The risk is so small that counteracting basically any other risk is a better use of resources. Teach kids about drugs. Teach them about driving safely. Teach them about how to be safe around pools, and how to swim. Teach them to eat healthy. Build them some exercise habits.

An hour invested in any of these activities is much better-spent than an hour of hand-wringing about an almost nonexistent risk of your kid being shot in school in the U.S. It's simple math.

Yes, I know about the masscons, but it seems highly unlikely they'll be just at the right point. It's hard to believe that any object given a single impulse at ground level, in a vacuum, is not going to hit the moon again in one orbit (unless it is given escape velocity).

Masscons did perturb the Apollo missions enough that they had to switch to a doppler radio to navigate accurately.

You weren't clear what offences Australia has committed to China or why you are making this about US.

Banning Huawei over national security concerns or asking for an independent inquiry into the source of COVID is hardly offensive. And they are not excuses for refusing to abide by WTO rules and inventing reasons to prevent free and fair trade.

What is offensive is China providing a list of 14 grievances that Australia must address (e.g. supporting China's take over of Taiwan) in order to maintain a normal economic relationship.
I think it could be something as simple as the rechargeable batteries no longer hold a charge and they don't manufacture the receiver unit anymore.

One embedded platform I worked on was developed in the late 80s, launched in 1990, and code I wrote in 1994 is still running. It's a 6809 processor with a little bit of RAM and 512KB of EEPROM attached. The entire code base is pure assembly language. That doesn't mean it doesn't have bugs, it just means no stdlibs to lean on.

The key isn't the longevity of the CPU, it's whatever is attached to it. Input and output stages fail, power supplies spike, things burn out, things wear out. So the processor can keep going strong...but what are you controlling?

But TDLR the answer is use the oldest sustainable tech you can find. Think like Gunpei Yokoi and build a Gameboy, not a Steam Deck.

Control loops also need to run at kilohertz and if you can't schedule them to run without jitter the whole system is useless.

It effectively is if you're ready to ship your dependencies. If you're happy to depend on major versions that come with the system, qt isn't bad either.
I would like to mention Magefile. We recently have been using it over makefiles and it has been amazing. Removes more non-go dependencies. You write your files in Go, and it all works really well.

https://magefile.org

Between that, goreleaser, 2-stage dockerfiles, static binaries, etc. It all just works so well and only needs Go for most things.

Recently for actual stuff we have been using Exho, Zerolog, and fairly common libraries for most tools.
