So really, what you need to do is put another box between your DSL/4G modems and your gateway. I'm assuming the gateway has NAT, and your DSL modem has to be NAT. So you'll go to a triple NAT, which is less than ideal.

You can get an edge router X and set up the wan on three of the ports, and set the last port to your gateway. ER-X can do failover WAN automatically.

You can also get rid of the gateway and connect your LAN devices (via a switch) to port 4 of the ERX. Just set its IP to 192.168.1.1. The ERX NAT is pretty fast, but you're on DSL so that probably doesn't matter.

Do you need the gateway box at all?
Also I think there is aspect that coming out and saying you got death threats sells. Everyone has to be sympathetic about it. Or they will be attacked.

They might even be taken less seriously. As more correct approach is only to contact authorities and let them verify them or take needed action.
The best way to stay in the loop on federated social media trends is to join a fediverse instance.

It gets discussed a lot there.

Anecdotally, there was a lot of discussion within the fediverse when threads was announced and the general sentiment that a lot of people had, was that instances should immediately defederate from threads to avoid eternal september.

Personally, I argued for staying federated with them because I think that would lead to a healthier fediverse. What I envision is:

1. Most normal individuals will be on a corporate-backed, ad-supported instance like threads.

2. Companies and governments will be on custom-domain instances managed by a fediverse service provider who they pay directly, both for branding and in order to avoid being beholden to the poor customer service of the corporate-backed instances.

3. Some tech-savvy individuals will be on small or self-hosted independent instances that provide a differentiated experience in some way. (This is most of the current fediverse)

This is basically how email works now and so it seems like the most likely end-state.

You are right that China is going on in on RISC-V in part because of Western sanctions. It is yet another reason why RISC-V has so much momentum. It is in China's interest to destroy Intel's and ARM's competitive advantages and it is pouring money and people into it.

It would piss them off if the malware 'thought' it got root, but it didn't. This would be a decoy environment full of plausible looking (non-sensitive) information, and the malware reports to the C2 with a bunch of benign data.

How to achieve this is the killer question though.
this imho is the way to use it. it is so easy once u get it set up. for me it was one of the simplest ways i found to use such systems.
It is because utilities can externalize many costs with their current development practices. Every now and then the federal government jumps in with some more funding for them too (see: Diablo Canyon). Incentives aren't aligned between the utilities and their customers.

I'm sure one of these days the office furniture companies will be coming for recurring revenue shares, since after all, you can't retain the devs you need to make the game if they're sitting on the floor. Think of all the value those chairs provided. Shouldn't the furniture company get a cut of that? It's hard to predict revenue when you don't how long people will hold onto their chairs on a fixed purchase model too. (/s)
Yeah, utilitarianism means you want to act in a way that's beneficial to most people.

There's many ways you can interpret that, though.

But I think if you say, before we had 1 apple per person, and now we have 2x as many apples, but they're all owned by one person - that's hard to argue it's utilitarian.

If before you had 100 apples, and everyone who wanted one had one, and now you have 10,000 apples distributed to people at random, but only 1 in 100 people who wants one has one - that also seems hard to argue as utilitarian.

Businesses are value maximization functions. They'll only be utilitarian if that happens to maximize value.

In the case of software - if you go from 1m users to 10m users - that doesn't imply utilitarianism. It implies that was good for gaming some metric - which more often than not these days is growth, not profit.

No they didn't just link a solver.

The LLM does the filling. It makes an attempt, the checker checks if it's a valid move for sudoku, If not then returns to the previous state(node) and so on until solved. The history of attempts is stored and retrieved every time the LLM backtracks

I am married to a teacher who teaches 8-9 year olds. This is her perspective from many years with that age group.

Computers and screens are introduced too early. The kids just use them to zone out and mess around.

The kids all forget their passwords, so login is a pain. To solve this the school made the same password for all. Some brat sets all the girls avatars to boobs.
The various ways kids look up porn is a continual frustration.

It doesn’t add to the learning, it makes lazy teachers lives easier. Some classes play Minecraft - I’m unclear how that’s teaching. Some use iPads to take creative photos. It’s not creative and is a waste of time and lazy.

Computers have a place in schools, and it’s with older kids than 8-9 and needs to be way more prescriptive when used with <10 year olds.

Edit: Probably relevant, my wife and I went to a Steiner school, as does our kid. That system has a pretty old fashioned view on screen time and devices - as I started typing this our child stated that metal work and leather work lessons were starting soon.
The MIDI1 spec allows for up to 16 channels on each port, and would definitely be capable of handling 16 xylophones at once. It's complicated, but the current MIDI spec (and the pre-spec MPE extension) combines data, so what you think of as 16 xylophones is to the MIDI device 1 instrument consisting of 16 xylophones.

However, if you want to control attack, reverb, tone, volume, i.e., all the stuff that makes it seem like a real instrument and not a computer-generated tone, then you would need to dedicate some of the 16 channels on each port to each of those different controls. To handle 16 xylophones, you would need a MIDI interface with enough ports to handle the note data plus however many control channels you want to use. (Note that from the interface's perspective, the data incoming from 1 port is just a single channel, so an "8-channel" MIDI interface is actually handling 128 channels of MIDI data.)
Threads was a breath of fresh air at first and I followed a bunch of people I already followed on Instagram and Twitter. Opening the app today there is exactly 1 post from someone I follow and pages upon pages of ‘recommended’ content from people I don’t care about, much of which is outrage bait and political content. Talking to other people I know this experience seems to be common.

I understand the idea of wanting to make the app feel alive on day one by including content from popular influencers, but I genuinely think they would have had better retention if they went the other way and only showed you what you wanted to see - or at least separated the recommended posts onto another tab and gave better controls for filtering it.
Outside of the fact that a platform will always selfishly want to prioritize its own content and keep users on its platform, I feel there is a growing sentiment from web users as well that most content-based websites are just _bad_, and platforms are adapting to this behavior.

Over the past few years, how many times have you:

- Searched Google for something like "Best Coffee Maker" / "STORE coupon codes" / "Best cocktail recipie" and the article was just an SEO'd affiliate link blogspam?

- Searched Twitter for something innocuous only for the top links to be some sort of crypto or OnlyFans garbage?

- Clicked into a website just for 1-3 visual modals to popup to "Disable your Adblock" / "Sign up for our mailing list" / "Login to view the rest of the post" (And we thought popups were dead once popup blockers became a thing)

This article is even an example -- I scroll down just to be interrupted by a call to action modal requesting my email and making me find the "continue reading" button just to read the content.

Platforms provide content consistency -- once users understand the platform, they can know how to consume content on it.

It's perhaps the death of the open web, but I kind of get it.

> I don't understand why this is a worry

It's a massive new change and requirement coming into force in only a few months, with basically every single report coming out of Unity internal engineering being that they don't have any systems in place to figure this out and have no idea how they will actually make it work while also still being GDPR compliant.

"Just trust us bro" and "you can file a support ticket if we get the numbers wrong" are not acceptable and are each reasons enough to worry about the potential for (or rather, guaranteed) abuse of this system.

One must assume the worst about any implementation with a system like this, in the same way that once must assume the worst about any implementation of telemetry or of DRM. You'll be right far more often than wrong.

> The president and his ministers left.

...under threat of lethal violence. Their offices/residences were assaulted soon after they fled. Many people were murdered during the "protests". Is a "coup" really determined by whether the overthrown leader is nimble enough to evade arrest/murder?

> Giving her support of a particular candidate is not "orchestrating" any coup.

Please, let's be real. If Lavrov were caught saying things like "Trump should be President over Desantis. Let's keep Desantis out of government for now. Also let's be discreet about this. Putin is on board." and then all of that actually happened, like Desantis dropped out and endorsed Trump, what do you think the American reaction would be?

Some Americans even believe that something like this happened in 2016 ("Russiagate conspiracy theory"), but there is scant evidence to support it. In reality, Trump was impeached over far less evidence.

We can debate semantics over the preferred definition of coup, but the bottom line is there was extraordinarily blatant foreign interference in Ukraine's democratic process, and the US government clearly played a central role and achieved their goals.

Yes, I had the same issue with my pixel phone in that it would aim to be charged by 8am but I get up much earlier normally. I see the value of slow charging, so rather than prevent it I set an alarm for 5am with a silent ring and no vibrate. Works perfectly. Charged when I get up.

>Erm no - businesses can also be moral.

That's my point. We agree.

> businesses get money for doing something someone else wants
> Politicians take your money and can't even do the one thing they should be doing

^ Here is my issue. This is a cognitive-dissonance. You can equally say: businesses failing their social duty aren't giving society what it wants; rather, they are sating the greed of their customers, shareholders and execs.

Whereas politicians are balancing competing power interests into a compromise piece of legislation with a chance of being passed, and thereby improving the situation; if, very imperfectly.

You see, under these reframings it is the biz failing, not the polician.

to be clear, I do not agree with either framing. My point is only how quickly americans adopt this "if someone's buying, it's excusable" morality as applied to business. As-if politics were a place of heroic powerful individuals, and business merely a mechanism.

The reality is both is true of both. Business can be held to much higher standards; and politicans can be more subtly understood.

Honestly, "everyone" knows there are acceptable boundaries of opinion in a lot of circles generally--including this one--that even nuanced takes cannot cross without bring out the knives. By and large, it makes sense to accept that and move on. You likely won't change anyone's mind and you'll just get upset.
Reinforcing your point, Peter Singer, philosopher and noted utilitarian, has explicitly said that he weights misery far more than happiness in his own framework. From a personal level, he said he'd give up the 10 best days of his life to remove the one worst day of his life (or something like that).

All of his work with effective altruism is aimed at reducing suffering of those worst off in the world and spends no time with how to make the well off even happier.

I'm so sick of this claim. Nix allows you to keep old versions of things installed, but you certainly don't have to.

When I switched from Debian to NixOS a few years ago, I installed it on a separate subvolume, and it ended up taking almost exactly as much space as Debian did (about 12 GiB with gnome and everything else). And really, what would you expect? It's nearly all the same code, just organized differently in the filesystem.

P.S., you can check the store usage of the current system profile with `nix path-info -Sh /run/current-system`.

Man, this is fucking awesome. Thank you for building this!

Not just free, but local, without installation, and generalized to common use-cases too? This is a standard of development that I aspire to, so thank you for being a great example!

Dev appreciation aside, I also record music with my long-distance buddy, so we often find ourselves trying to use midi recreations in order to get at least a passable version of timing and range that we can both practice from until the demo compositions have been laid down. It's often pretty far off the mark from the original track, so we will make fantastic use of this utility. Again, thanks so much!

They initially said the exact opposite. They changed their mind after being shouted at about all of the above concerns.

What's the point of it if the manufacturer makes the parts extremely expensive? For example, Apple's 4k screen for iPhone 11 Pro Max is $400 at apple. The phone itself is $150 on eBay. Aftermarket parts cause functional impairment (truetone gone if 3rd party screen used). This bill should be "use any part without software limitations".
I'm doing CICO and I have been since February, but the thing I found helped make it a lot more livable was to do a small deficit (200-300 calories) instead of a big one (500-600 calories). Ultimately, the most important thing? Just logging everything I eat and hoping to hit said goal. Some days I end up eating 100% of my 'sedentary' calories. Oh well. I still end up losing weight when I look at it in the scale of a month or so (3-4lbs a month!)

I found it a lot less stressful to have a small deficit! I just have to remember to write down what I ate.

That said, definitely YMMV! I think if your BMR is only like 1000 calories and your sedentary energy level is 1200 calories, it would probably be impossible to be satisfied with any kind of calorie deficit. X_X I don't know how smaller people do it! My deepest sympathies!

And to be sure: I was regularly eating 3000 calories a day before I started in February. When I did - it took at least a couple of months to stop feeling hungry all the damn time lol.

I'm not just a programmer. I'm a designer. I design software to work with people, and I design implementation to have minimal technical debt.

Until I can see an "AI" go through a design process without a human guiding it, iterating until it decides to stop, I'll have this confidence.

Right now, LLM's are Clever Hans, stopping their process when a human says. So not only are they borrowing the intelligence of writers the world over, they're actually borrowing the intelligence of the person at the prompt.

Take that prompt away, and they'll fall flat.

For example, can they even think of a problem to solve on their own? No, they need a human to ask them to find a problem and solve it. Otherwise, they sit. Dumb, unmoving, devoid of agency, and incapable of even the smallest task without input.
