State Farm sends a Bluetooth beacon that you pair with your phone. Each car gets a beacon. Whichever beacon is closest is the car you’re in. The app on the phone uses gps and accelerometer data to determine driving behavior. Presumably the stream of data is sent to the insurance company at some point.

It looks like those two companies have been buying up competitors left and right for a long time, so no wonder there aren't many other options left out there. Seems like this is an industry that doesn't get a lot of attention, but which is badly in need of oversight and regulation.
Disagree. It's got less shit, but it looks and feels better if you're goal is only media storage and playback
I used Plex briefly right after it came out from the roots of XBMC. The reason was, at that time, if you wanted to play something off a computer on your TV, better have a long DVI cable and a headphone-to-RCA cable and hookup your laptop and screen mirror, or better set up a PC sitting next to your TV and have a media server running. That option felt cool and useful so I did that, between like 2009 and 2012 ish.

Now? I stream most of my content, but if I am torrenting something, I pop the file in a folder on my NAS and my smart TV can see that drive on my home network. I don't need fancy thumbnails. I don't need any fancy sorting. I typically don't need transcoding. I just navigate the folders using my TV's built in browser and hit play, and it works. And it has worked that way for years....

I think I am in the place where most home users are now. Most people, even technologically-adverse people, know that they can put some media on a USB stick and plug it in their smart TV and that is simpler than setting up media servers for home media content. And streaming services have taken away the need for a lot of people to have local content.

So who is left? People who hoarde local media and want instant access to it in their home theatres, who have vast libraries and want advanced sorting, playlisting, and multi-device streaming? How many people can that possibly be, and how would those people be supporting Plex financially?
Considering proprietary black box models are going to be present in some form, is the difference between having AI lead to huge societal benefit or big brother down to whether data is open and provided by governments or closed in big tech?

Considering that the Cross-Bronx parkway is the road with the worst traffic in the entire country, you can't "easily" cross the GWB (but you can do so after sitting in traffic for several hours). And the privilege of this traffic nightmare is a $17 toll for the GWB ($13.50 if you have EZ Pass).

I figure it’s semi trucks that do almost all the road damage. We could just tax the trucks, but that would just get passed along in higher prices for everything. So might as well pay for road repair out of the general fund than have special taxes.

I think it's more than just vertical media vs. tech giants, it is the nature of consumption via streaming.

Look at Disney, who does not make most of their content available to stream on other platforms. Their latest movies haven't been great, but compared to what they cost to make, they've absolutely bombed at the box office.

I suspect a lot of this has been because many people would rather wait a bit and let the whole family watch on disney+, rather than pay at least the cost of an entire month's worth of streaming per ticket, plus the high cost of drinks and snacks once you get in.

In my area, a family of four could easily pay $50 for tickets for a single screening. With the prices of everything going up, an $8-12 / month streaming plan on disney plus makes way more sense.
In NC we have mandatory yearly safety inspections. To renew your registration you must pass inspection. It would be easy for them to use the odometer reading at the inspection to assess a road use tax.

We do already pay a gas tax and a yearly property tax at the state and local level for cars plus a sales tax on new cars.
Or maybe Disney knows they have children.

> Since it takes labor to produce writing, and we want people to engage in that labor, we need to grant them a temporary legal monopoly over the right to reproduce that writing, so that it’s possible to earn something from that labor.

The real problem is that copyright discourages writing (and creative work in general), rather than encouraging it. How many times have you heard about people getting hit with copyright strikes on YouTube? How many people do you think you haven't heard about, because the strike either shut them down completely or encouraged them to give up?

Copyright doesn't encourage people to engage in creative work. It encourages corporations to own creative work. If we actually want to encourage creative work, we should stop letting Disney extend how long copyright lasts, and abolish it entirely.

Oh what ritualistic nonsense. Those developer machines will also have to compile the code and run the application in debug mode, which will make the app slower than on a regular user’s machine if we assume the same hardware.

I don't know what I'm missing and what the overheads are but that seems like it should be able to support a fair number of writers easily?

Even so $20 per year seems impractically low. I pay ten times that for my Economist subscription. I really imagine they could strike a middle ground without losing too many subscribers.
It doesn’t seem of minimal relevancy for the Brazilian government. I don’t see the connection at all. What’s your reasoning to consider that might be one?
This requires the application to tell the service manager to wait for some signal that it has successfully "finished starting" beyond just "the process was created". There's no standard way to do it. In systemd's case this is done by opting in to inherit a socket that can be used to communicate that information (`Type=notify`, then calling `sd_notify()`).
It's amazing how "AI" now exclusively means LLMs.
The reason why AI/ML spaces want postgraduate degrees is because there is a massive glut of candidates relative to openings. One of the things we realized over the past decade is that if you are not in the business of hiring AI researchers even companies with >1,000 SWEs may need only a dozen ML experts.

Even at fairly mature companies, fully utilizing a top tier ML expert may require the equivalent of 6-10 SWEs.

Anyway, while no one knows what the future holds, right now it doesn't seem like many companies are looking to actually take on AI as a core capability, they're looking to leverage open source tools. I'm at a large company right now that's betting pretty heavily on AI and we're thinking of bringing on 1 maybe 2 ML specialists over the next year. My friends at other large tech firms report similar plans.

People may not trust systemd because years ago there were some really bad defaults like https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2402 that for instance mounted your firmware in read write mode by default.

That kind of thing leaves a bad taste in some peoples mouth. I am pretty sure some people have bricked hardware with systemd.

I mostly like systemd but journalctl/journald unequivocally sucks arse with passion.

They made binary format THAT DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING PROPER INDEXING. It might have actual indexing, who the fuck knows, but it don't have any useful one

They could literally just drop in SQLite there and now your entire's system's logs have power of being queried via SQL which would be amazing and easy to use with countless tools that can be used with SQLite but NO, (probably) Lennart wanted to have some fun writing shitty binary format coz of his chronic NIH.

strace systemctl status 2>&1 |grep /var/log/journal |wc -l
71

It opens SEVENTY ONE FILES TO GET LOGS ABOUT ONE APPLICATION

systemctl status tinc

FOR WHICH IT HAS NO LOGS IN THE FIRST PLACE

journalctl -a -e -n10 -u tinc |cat
-- No entries --

(it's the same for app with logs btw.)

I can literally grep a bunch of text files faster than it can look thru it's "efficient" binary logs. But hey if you waste RAM to cache every journal file on your machine in RAM instead of, dunno, actually useful stuff, those commands are fast...

It's an abomination and affront to good engineering. Which is shame coz I like many of the other parts.

This looks really interesting! Tangentially related if anyone is interested, I recently wrote[1] a pure C (no external dependency) version of coordination free, k-ordered 128-bit UUID Generator library which is inspired by snowflake but has bigger key space and few nifty features to protect against clock skew etc. The 128 bits are split into

{timestamp:64, worker_id:48, seq: 16}

where the seq is incremented if the unique id is requested within the same millisecond.

Basically, regular submarines blow compressed air into the ballast tanks when they need to surface. Because the Trieste goes so deep, compressed air wouldn't work. It uses fine steel shot instead. But at this point, to make it neutrally buoyant, one needs a large amount of material that is only slightly lighter than water. It also has to be mostly incompressible, so aviation gasoline it is. The Trieste effectively becomes an underwater airship. Or a watership, if you will.
Business requirements are never "just don't update this machine", you often have conflicting requirements where one piece of software has one set of requirements and another one has different ones. You often need to update systems to stay compliant with security requirements and those updates are generally non-negotiable.

When I tried this a few years ago, the unit beeped when it sensed braking or lane changes it didn’t like. It beeped constantly in the course of normal New York City defensive driving. I found myself running more than one red light to avoid the “hard braking” beep.

It completely eliminated any enjoyment of the new car I sacrificed to save up for.

After 3 months I was horrified to get an email with a list of time stamped infractions and an offer for a 15% reduction in my premium.

Yeah, no. I switched to Geico, cut my premium in half, and vowed never to willingly trade surveillance for an insurance discount.
Jellyfin native on fire stick and Android tv is far superior to Plex, given they started screwing up their apps to make people subscribe
My impression of Suckless is that it’s “Unix philosophy” software where you edit the code and recompile instead of using dynamic configuration like all those config files. And while there are way too many ad hoc app-specific config systems out there, I don’t see how Suckless makes a huge difference for simplifying things.

Yup, I saw that offer with my auto-insurance provider and despite knowing how much data they’d be harvesting, I was still tempted to do it. Insurance just costs so much. It doesn’t matter if you have a perfect driving record for almost 2 decades. Costs just slowly creep up just like everything else. It feels like we’re in a world where privacy and data ownership is a luxury reserved for the wealthy.

> You might blame the recruiter instead of the company

Ah you're right, I should have pointed out that the call was from someone else.
It was someone 'internal' this time.

But yes you're absolutely right and this isn't a dig at recruiters, they're usually harder working than me.
Framed as crime scene evidence, it is kind of strange that simply possessing it, for any reason, is a serious crime worth decades in prison. The pedophiles are voluntarily taking pictures and videos of themselves committing crimes and sharing it on the internet. I am sure that if internet sleuths were allowed to investigate such material, like law enforcement is, many, many more child abusers would ultimately get caught. Distributing it should obviously still be illegal, but banning simple possession doesn't stop traffickers (obviously) and eliminates an enormous free workforce of amateur sleuths who I am sure would seriously help the problem. They have helped solved many cold case murders that police never could.

It's kind of creepy in a way when you think about it. No other crime scene evidence is guarded in that way. Is it illegal to possess photos/videos of someone getting stabbed, shot, beheaded, etc? Surely there are people who derive sexual pleasure from that material too, yet it proliferates and no one really cares. It's almost as if the powers that be REALLY don't want the general public to know who's behind some of this stuff. We already know very rich and powerful people are routinely involved in child sex rings...

And the AI image generation stuff makes it even more dangerous and ridiculous. So we're approaching a time when someone can just generate some images locally with stable diffusion or whatever of what looks like CSAM (but no actual children involved), get it into your possession (either remotely or just dropping an SD card in your house somewhere you don't see) and now you are liable for decades in prison...hopefully you don't have any enemies.
I hate how true this is! A case in point is also apps like Ibotta or Fetch which reward you based on your shopping data. Sell your shopping patterns, earn money! Rich can protect their privacy.
I just paid the $150 lifetime membership the last few months, and I'm not the only one. Most folks in this boat are trying to support sharing and managing a media collection with more people than just ourselves. For me, it's my wife and some family friends. And with Plex, I can share my whole library, or just parts, with them and they can watch easily on their TV. No big downloads on their end, no navigating a file tree, just a slick app like all the other streaming apps.

Add in the *Arr apps and Overseer for slick request management and youve got a great system that's easy enough for my accountant brother and my non-technical wife to use without any hiccups.
Exactly: like I said below the pain point was never "generate a textual representation of the startup logic appropriate to the init system" but always "concretely define what you mean by a service being started or stopped and how to determine that".

“… realigning key departments to help deepen engagement with our readers…”

And nothing deepens engagement with readers like eliminating your full time writers. Who doesn’t simply adore getting a different voice for every regurgitated AP news article?
I dunno; if phones were more like PCs, you could have a screen on the front that was a fixed physical total size and connected via standard connectors and still have a lot of room for variations, up to and including changing the number of pixels in that fixed size. That would still fall down when faced with ex. in-screen fingerprint readers or maybe punch-hole cameras (and variations thereof) but the majority of phones don't have those so you'd still win overall.
I just love talking about build systems, editors and developer tooling. Anyone has resources on where I can read about how different companies do it?

It makes sense, children are so autocentric that if the author is partially stuck in a childlike frame of mind (as he says in the post) than finding a cosmic being who "knows him" is a decent hack to move on if it fills the childlike psychological need he has.

I too had the unfulfilled need to be "known" when I was a child, which was impossible because my traumas were so far from any normal child's experience, realizing the futility of ever being "fully" known or "fully knowing" someone coincided with the concept of Sonder fully sinking in, that's also when I realized empathy was a red herring and thoughtful sympathy was the strongest possible outcome outside of perhaps a twins experience (which I can't even begin to speak to).

Nothing as infinitely complex as an individual can ever be fully known for any non-arbitrary definition of fully, most -- if not all -- people won't ever even fully know themselves. Appreciating life and the mystery of individuals is something to bring awe. People who think an individual can be "fully" known have a very low view of the complexity of individuals.

Egalitarianism is not a good thing.
The start of this was the industrial revolution. Instead of the family and the home being the main workplace and source of income (farming, family trade, etc.) men went off to work, women went off to work, children went off to work. The family was atomized. Basically, corporations are the downfall of civilization.

Today, most people work long hours away from their family (both men and women) not to buy another ski trip but just to keep a roof over their heads and feed their kids. How can all of us find our way back to family business?
