What can we do then? Stripe's own documentation recommends us to use Stripe Checkout because it's the most secure against card testing, and that checkout page is owned and operated by stripe so it's not like we can add custom card testing detection logic there.

Whichever way you look at it, in every sense, password managers are a really bad, bad idea.

Besides that, it is not needed to force you to press your finger; the delinquent needs only to have access to the device for to fool the sensor with a brute force, 2 hours in the worse of the cases with the simplest techniques. Although its easier to take your finger prints from a glass or something you used for to avoid the wait, or directly cut your finger if its a psychopathic criminal.

And in all the cases, once your fingerprint gets public it gets compromised until the end of the times, of course, you can not "change the passw".

This without talking about software infection with a remote attack.

This no need to compile SQLite into your Cloudflare Worker. We provide it native on our platform as D1. And it gives you replication. https://blog.cloudflare.com/d1-turning-it-up-to-11/

Also, I think the idea of “edge” doesn’t make a ton of sense. What we really need is code and data that move around as needed for the best performance. See: https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-workers-smart-placeme...

What people call “edge” is a single optimization bringing code near the user. I think we should go far beyond that. Sure, use something like Cloudflare Workers for your “edge” needs (ie bringing your React app close to the end user/doing server side rendering). But don’t stop there because where data resides, what APIs you call are all going to matter.

That's the vision of something I called the "Supercloud": https://blog.cloudflare.com/welcome-to-the-supercloud-and-de...

Social engineering counts as hacking, even if it doesn't require much specialized technical finesse.
Posting a video that is old and not related, yet plausibly attached to a news campaign is a classic information warfare tactic.

Makes you wonder where the initial news source was from...?
It’s part but I think you disregard many of its “pro” userbase that prefers the often best-in-class hardware with okay software, which is much more privacy oriented than the alternative.

At least on the phone market, iphones have much longer lifetime and can often be used second-third time as well (I also use a used iphone, which I plan on passing down to my mother when I upgrade). Their M-series laptops are unbiasedly the best and it is not even funny by how far. There is simply no competitor that would be anywhere near on the performance-battery life plot, and for that its price is really not high (especially an M1 air, used or new).

Android’s wearables are toys compared to an apple watch also.

Might be off-topic but always wondered why Figma limits files to 2Gb, even the paid users. I remember once I had to present my work to stakeholders of a large company and when I opened Figma I was met with the dreaded red banner saying I exceeded the 2Gb limit and wouldn't open the file even for viewing. I was frantically posting on the forums and emailing customer support for a solution. Luckily they replied quickly and suggested I create a new file and paste the important bits on it and leave out the old stuff.
Hold on, judging by the comments here it just a different Reddit frontend right?

Can’t call it an alternative if it browses reddits content.
Great app, but I hate their use of high precision GPS. Is it really that important to know the location of a plant down to meters??

If plant location is good to have, why not simply ask the user what area they are in (e.g. Berlin)??
Yeah, no access to it from Australia.

That archive.is capture also doesn't seem to include the reviews. :/
Hm. I have used computer since 3rd grade or so. I don't think it hurt me that much.

I mean sure I spent too much time on the internet, and all the porn made me a worse person. I wish there was not so much easily accessible porn for teen males. Even back in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Other than that though, it was fine.
Loving the stream of articles from Wladimir Palant; perhaps the motivation is to get Google to police the web store more proactively.

On that note, I wonder if Google could build an automated review process where they build a representation of the normal behavior of the extension by installing it on their machines, and then ship that representation to the user. When the user installs the extension later, and it behaves too differently from the previously computed representation, it could trigger a manual review on Google’s end.
The 386SX was the slow one back when it was released. The "real" 386 was the DX, with a 32 bit bus. The 486 was so much better, the first Intel to perform close to the Unix workstations I had at university.
I've looked for a long time. Tildes feels like a good #2, but it seems content remaining extremely small. I think it's still invite only after 5 years.

Pretty much all alternatives I looked at lacked community. Not expecting reddit numbers, but even a threshold as simple as "more than 5 posts/20 comments a day" was a huge hurdle here. Social media is just so centralized now.
I don't know about the rest, but you're wrong in the assumption that religion today has any relevance in how someone is perceived in the west.

Well, except for islam.
Oh, those machines are pretty satisfying to use and watch. In the 00's I did a lot of IT support for print shops (I still hate the RIP server and the Fiery, although I haven't seen one for 20 years) and the guillotines fascinated me.
Hopefully this comes to Strongbox soon!

I would argue that password managers are not a "in every sense a really bad, bad idea" for a lot of reasons.

Let's look at password reuse for example. As soon as you have more than a few dozen logins, the possibilities are mostly either reusing one or few passwords, or writing them down.

Reusing is objectively bad, and for writing them down, the password manager makes it easy to use a really long and random password, which would make it tedious to write down.
Sounds like a job for... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_of_the_Lambda_Calcul...

> Offhand, Date types are really strings in SQLite.

It’s more that there’s no such thing as a date type, but that date and time functions can work with text or numbers, in a few different interpretations.

Documentation: https://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html.
It is not 3.500. It is 3.500 plus tax. So closer to 3800. Almost 4000 dollars.
There's no theoretical reason I see why USB would be worse than an external adapter with the same wire gauges.

The only issue is that an expansion card powered by the PC supply would have an extra conversion step to get the voltage to USB-C levels.

That's solvable though, maybe they could route the USB through the power supply itself. Or a docking station can power both PC and monitor. Maybe the next generation of PC parts will run directly on 48v or 20v.
I understand why people still use Excel, but then, it's to be expected that there will be errors. And that's fine, some errors can be tolerated if the saving for using cheap tools with a cheap workforce is big enough.

But if you want reliability, just don't use Excel because making it bulletproof is pricier than just using SQL for reporting and analysis.

I'm a software engineer with a little over 1 year of experience, working primarily on web development and automation projects, primarily with Python, Django and JavaScript.

I thoroughly enjoy learning new technologies and am open to working in other programming languages as long as learning is encouraged. I am open to relocation both within the EU.
Yeah I liked the way he explained this in his State of GPT talk (even if it might not be 100% literally accurate), that each token has an equal amount of “computation” behind it so if you want to do something more computationally complex, letting it use more tokens (“show your working” etc) yields better results as it can “do more computation” in a sense
A large part of the world doesn't understand this about academic papers or science in general. I don't see how this is clear at all.
I still occasionally come back to Pavlov for some good old Search & Destory gameplay. It is like childhood nostalgia but relive in an unimaginable way.
No foreign keys by default. Using them means that every connecting session must toggle it on. Forget one and it will be free to violate referential integrity.

One writer. Any session that issues BEGIN TRANSACTION and then hangs halts all dml.

WAL mode confusion. WAL cannot safely be used on network filesystems, and it breaks ACID on ATTACHed databases, among other problems.

Date and time types don't really exist. There are functions to assemble your own, but it does require some thought. The ODBC driver for SQLite does have options to "emulate" this.

Length specifications on a column are ignored. CHAR(2) will allow the insertion of a blob. I think that check constraints could be used to enforce this.

Type affinity means that any data type can be inserted into columns declared as any other data type. Rigid type enforcement can be done, but it is not the default.

Those are the major eye-openers.
The iPad has fully evolved into a laptop replacement, just not for everyone. This will probably be the same.
It's an external battery anyway, so you can use an arbitrarily large battery or multiple backup batteries. It's not really a problem, but the battery being external is.

But if you are successful, there is a chance of getting sherlocked, so its a risky business model.
It's not about memory specifically, but about their principle of trying to push the boundaries of how much you can do to prevent upgrades and service.
Because it never learns, although it's claiming to? But don't worry, both Google and Samsung keyboards fail in the same way - after years of LeArnInG.
>I want to hear "What's not great using SQLite compare to PostgreSQL" instead .

The context of this thread's article is about "edge computing" which means resource-constrained endpoints like IoT, mobile devices, cloud "workers" on CDN, etc.

Those scenarios will inherently favor a lightweight database like SQLite over a full-blown heavyweight RDBMS like Postgresql/MySQL. RDBMS engines have extra code and cpu/RAM requirements for handling multi-user concurrency, locking, etc. You don't need all that machinery for edge computing.

Another example of the above tradeoffs is smartphones like iPhone and Android. Their default persistence API framework in iOS/Android use embedded SQLite as the local backing database. It doesn't make sense for a battery-powered device to waste cpu and RAM on a multi-user Postgresql/MySQL engine when there's only a single user of a smartphone.
> It doesn’t generate revenue for Apple,

but it creates lock-in, if all your credentials are in a iCloud keychain, you're encouraged to get a phone that can sync with your ipad, laptop, and desktop.

Manually find and re-sync your stuff from firefox-on-desktop to chrome-on-mobile to safari-on-ipad is a major PITA.
I used to buy the British edition at least partially for the articles, but it could be a damned hard slog finding them.

In fact a lot of the computer magazines tended in this direction - presumably the consolidation around the PC and the commoditization of it ate into margins as they all focused on the one (albeit growing) narrower topic.

By the by, I often joke that I buy The Economist for the pictures (not true, but the captions are often very sly jokes).
Yes. You could have done that rather than comparing to a ship two orders of magnitude larger.

That wouldn't have been a ridiculous attempt to mislead.
Indeed... still used for wine bottles. I can't say I'm too happy with it though, given the amount of bottles spoiled by bad cork.
I'm waiting for the first HIPAA violations due to ChatGPT etc. to be punished. The amount of FOMO coming out of C-suites around "AI" is sadly predictable.
Privatized the profit, mutualized and nationalized the debts to bail out the banks, and threw Greece under the bus for good measure.

And to stump them in the ground a even more, told them they didn't deserve a bail-out because they would spend it on drinks and prostitutes anyway..
Hello,

I've been working on a project, Imagizon, an AI image generator platform that also allows users to sell their AI-generated images. With the rising trend of AI in the art space and considering projects like Midjourney and Dall-E, I'm eager to know your thoughts.

Do you believe there's a need for more platforms like this? Is this something the community is looking for? What features do you think could set a platform like Imagizon apart?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and feedback!
Sure, there won't be that many users but the ones that exist will be very willing to spend money. Like the early days of the appstore.
Wait what bugs are caused by argv's null termination? Aren't all these bugs caused by the fact that argc can be 0 and programs don't expect that, not that argv is null terminated?
In his State of GPT talk (1), Karpathy does say the “you are an expert” type prompts help, because the model has learned from all sorts of content both good and bad, so it kind of narrows it down to more likely provide good answers

This was a reported rumour prior to the reveal yesterday: no significant use case. This is a significant departure from Apple's usual MO: find a USP and NAIL the implementation. They're using a scattergun approach here and it's risky. They better be sending these headsets free of charge to thousands of studios in the hopes that some of them develop THE killer app, because this is the only way I see this succeeding. Especially because this is a first gen product from Apple with a maximum of two hours of battery life, a wire hanging off the headset, and no controllers. I'd be much more confident about the future of this device if it weren't $3,500 + tax. At this price I don't understand who will be buying it.

I knew that I didn't know too much, now thanks to your comment, I'm searching for books about Hinduism and its history. Very interesting!

Thank you very much for the detailed answer!!
The "look at the search bar and speak" was pretty cool even if it's simple. Eyetracking is not available on most other VR headsets yet
Yeah it's a win/win for users I think. I just upgraded to the Fenix 7 Pro range and it's very nice.
Where do you live? I see them quite a bit in Berlin.
Exactly. The Quest 2 has offered this for years and cost $300 at launch.
No, but they'll likely release a cheaper variant. Note that this is the Vision Pro - there's perhaps a Vision, or a Vision Air, in the pipeline.

We are LIFEPOWR! A young and dynamic company, active in
energy transition and ready for scale up!
We develop smart technologies to support the worldwide transition towards renewable energy. Our progressive algorithms deliver significant value to households, businesses and society in its entirety.

We virtually connect different energy resources, such as batteries, chargers for electric cars and inverters for solar panels to broader networks of merged flexible capacity, to keep energy needs in balance and to optimize the impact of renewable energy.

We take the road to 'net zero' serious and we are convinced that our algorithms make the necessary difference.
You can help us reach these goals in the role of System Integration Engineer to integrate different brands of Electric Vehicle chargers and inverters.
To each their own, but you can't even pay me to deal with angry users who can't read the rules of the forum they want to post to, day in and day out. I'll never understand people who do so in their own personal time. Again, not unless they are using that as "portfolio fodder" to pivot into a professional CM role.
I find myself doing this with modern configurators from e.g. System76 even though I have no earthly use for such an over-powered system.

The Maplin Catalogue back in the day was my choice for idle window-shopping; one could page through it for the components of some very castles in the sky imagined diy computer or gadget - none of which I could have successfully built even if I'd had the budget. Top nerd nostalgia.

I can say similar things about 25C-NBOMe, but the body feel was rather uncomfortable.
I need to clarify, the calculations I used are based on 2,857 Bq/kg. The threshold for Germany is 600 Bq/kg. I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that the German government sets high levels of safety. Japan put limits as 100 Bq/kg. The limits don't change the danger levels.

Here's a study you may be interested in[0]

> The minimum and maximum radiocesium concentrations were 87.1 Bq/kg FM and 8,120 Bq/kg FM, respectively, with a median concentration of 450 Bq/kg

> If the residents consume the wild boar meat as a meat source once, the median committed effective dose was in the range of 0.062 to 0.30 μSv/day, with a maximum value of 5.4 μSv/day. In Japan, the natural effective dose from food ingestion was estimated to be 99 µSv/y, which was 0.27 µSv/day

> The committed effective dose for one-time ingestion of wild boar meat could be considered extremely low for residents in Tomioka.

You can use this information to calculate risk. Let's combine based on these numbers instead of mine. EU dosage limit = 20mSv/yr. We'll subtract 2.1mSv for average German dosage[1], leaving us 17.9. Taking the higher dosage from this study (13.5x German thresholds) giving us 3314.8 "meat sources" to reach the limit (defined at the bottom by median pork consumption, maximum ~50g/day). Let's then say they eat 3 servings per meal, eat 3 meals a day, and do so for an entire year. Their dosage will be 19.84mSv/yr (17.739 from the 8,120 Bq/kg boar). Your relative increase in lifetime chance of cancer at 20mSv protracted radiation exposure is approximately 0%. It is approximately 0% even at 40mSv protracted. Your risk of getting cancer due to eating that much meat is well above 0, since a single source here is roughly 50g (the recommended limit for daily consumption of red meat) and you're eating 9x that (450g/day). Your risk of cardiovascular issues are even higher.

Were I to live in Germany, I'd appreciate the cheap pork.

If you load the ODBC driver version of SQLite, there is an option to transparently convert the ODBC date time expressions into Oracle style dates.

It's an option for those who want easier handling.

"When the DSN Option "JDConv" (Julian Day conversion) is enabled
the SQLite 3 driver translates floating point column data
interpreted as Julian Day to/from SQL_DATE, SQL_TIME, and
SQL_TIMESTAMP data types (supported since May 2013)."

How many Android for eyeballs has Google released already? I count at least 3.

- Whatever Cardboard was using (2013ish)

- Daydream platform (2016ish)

- Whatever Samsung Gear VR used (2018ish)

All of them nice gimmicks, but also commercial failures and abandoned.
I didn't get the impression it was really designed for every day life mostly business and life admin and relaxing at home eg movies and gaming on the sofa. That memory of the kids is more likely to be captured whilst wearing the vision pro for another purpose and being interrupted.

I doubt anyone is going to be 100% digital avatar all the time but I want that feature as a non vision pro user! Sometimes you need to be on camera but your not interacting with the call it would be perfect for that!
I've been thinking that linux on an xbox one could be a nice way to reuse all those consoles sitting un-used as people move to Series X/S.

Also made me think that there could be a market for PCs that are inbetween laptop and desktop size. So something Xbox sized that can upgrade RAM and SSD and keep everything else small like a console.
I would've done it using complex exponentiation. And the exponential function is very easy to estimate fast: instead of Taylor series, use:

e^x=(1+x/n)^n

pick n=2^N, and that's just a bit shift and N repeated multiplications. Probably much faster and accurate.
It means that, but tbh that's more and better than 128GB of ram and 64G of vram (good luck going past 24G w/o breaking the bank).

Today AM5 boards max out at 128GB, so to beat that it seems that you must go and shop at places where you must request a quote to help them know how much you can be charged.
