TIL: API for saving webpages in the wayback machine
I dislike JavaScript and shell scripts equally, but sometimes I have to add a feature to a web page and I have to use JS, so I do, and sometimes I need to automate some un*x system task in a portable way and without heavy deps and shell scripts are the obvious solution.

What annoys me is using JavaScript and shell scripts when there are clearly superior alternatives and no clear advantage for it besides the familiarity (which, admittedly, can be a strong argument).

Shell scripts being an arcane mess is no excuse for Javascript being as clunky as it is, and vice-versa.
> who actually knows how to do that correctly?

Many people. It's not exactly rocket science to quote your arguments which already gets you most of the way there.

Sounds nice, but from talking with jet pilots it is quite easy for humans to push the machines past their limits. All of the cool stuff in Top Gun Maverick would have required the planes to get airframe service after every flight. Where you gain benefit from removing humans is the reduction in weight from life support and HMI systems and in the prospect of reducing reaction times.

Well, I know quite some people who left academia because they became victims of academic politics, or just had enormous difficulties getting their employment contracts extended, despite doing great research. I get research papers from this kind of people somewhat regularly. All of them look at least very plausible to me.

When I was still in academia, I honestly only know these "crackpot stories" from narrations (dark fairy tales); I never got any "crackpot papers", even though the particular research area is said to be prone to crackpots (perhaps the reason was that crackpots need some basic knowledge about the respective research area to realize that the colleagues of the institute actually do research in an area that is very related to their crackpot papers, so they never sent their crackpot papers to my colleagues).

I'm going to be this guy, but isn't it just Pythagoras theorem with a slight twist which is taught at 11 - 14 year old levels?

It only sounds complicated because of the words used like "complex", "imaginary", "real".

So if you studied Pythagoras at school and someone (a YouTube video) says you just have to do Pythagoras on the i multiplier and the other number, it would be fairly easy if you understand Pythagoras?
I'm sceptical as well. Expensive and with small amounts of missions applicable.

Instead of one such vehicle you afraid to loose it is much better to have tens or hundreds of long endurance drones for realtime reconnaissance. And satellites of course.

It is unlikely that a 1967 Corvette has tires on it that are more than a few years old.
looking back, it's interesting that the US casually flew planes over the USSR

I can't think of any other situation where the US has violated airspace regularly like that while not being in a state of war. Seems incredibly dangerous/provocative. For instance the US doesn't fly over North Korea or Iran even though I'm sure it could.

We had a couple Chinese balloons over the US and it was a major diplomatic incident that ruined relations for about a year

I find it hard to believe the US can go back to flying planes over Russia/China/etc. without stirring up some major issues

Can you imagine if at their whim Chinese supersonic jets flew over LA or NYC? It'd be basically a declaration of war
You might want to consider switching from Zen to AAISP[1].

Zen used to be decent, now pretty much only the only residential ISP left that offers quality support is AAISP. They also have all sorts of stats monitoring[2] on all customer lines by default, which they expose to customers on the portal.

AAISP will also, unlike many ISPs, not shy away from giving Openscreech a strong poke with a very sharp stick if the underlying issue with your line is due to Openreach. They know how to play the BT game.

No affiliation with AAISP other than knowing a number of their customers, not a customer myself due to completely unrelated reasons which are entirely beyond their control.

They are not the cheapest ISP in town, but it very much is a case of you get what you pay for.

I strongly disagree with that. If that was their motivation, then why is it not open-sourced? Why is it hardcoded with prudish limitations? That is the direct opposite of open and free (as in freedom) to me.
It writes a function and then you provide it to an interpreter which does the calculation output on which gpt proceeds to do the rest.

That’s how langchain works, chatgpt plugins and gpt function calling. It has proven to be pretty robust - that is, gpt4 realising when it needs to use a tool/write code for calculations when needed and then using the output.

A nit: a lot of uses of multiplication only care about a result type as wide as the input type. For these uses of multiplication, two's complement signed multiplication and reinterpreting the bits as unsigned then performing unsigned multiplication give the same result. When you start caring about i32 x i32 = i64 or i64 x i64 = i128 or bigint multiplies this stops being true because the bits you'd use to sign-extend the inputs can actually show up in the result.
Yeah, this is pretty much the only solution. The only step I'd add is "make charcoal, bury charcoal". That ultimately releases H2O back to the ecosystem and you only bury the carbon.

As a bonus, it's an exothermic process, so you could recapture some of that energy to make electricity.

Wait, the author was Dutch?
Well, `Stack.push()` is because it's a method. But ok, why `fn void push() { ... }`? It's actually a long story.

Originally C3 was merely an extension of C2 - which was largely a streamlined C syntax + modules + struct methods. BUT C2 introduced `func` as a function prefix, plus `type Foo struct { ... }` for type declarations to simplify parsing.

So C3 inherited that, but scaled back on the divergence from C, making struct declarations the more familiar `struct Foo { ... }`. The `func` felt too heavy, so it was later reduced to `fn`.

But couldn't that "fn" also be removed? It seemed as if the grammar would allow that while keeping the grammar simple.

However, there were arguments against:

(1) `fn` was also used as a keyword for defining lambdas and function pointers in a straightforward way.

(2) it is symmetric with macro definition: `macro int foo(x) { ... }` and `fn int foo(x) { ... }`

(3) it makes it trivial to search for functions using regex or even plain text search.

While some people wanted it removed, there were a lot more who argued for keeping it esp for that last reason.

I don't really have a personal preference, but it is helpful to keep some additional simplification to the grammar to allow further modifications or additions.

Agreed, but IMHO it is sort of justified for Tesla.

The size of its hype matches the size of the ICEs entrenchment in its moat. These have outsize influence on our economy, but climate change (and oil depletion) is quite inevitable. It takes irrational market cap to unseat that part of the economy being prisoner of its rent. And some allocators of capital have understood that.
It's pretty entertaining how the pro-Altman firehose turned off like a light switch after a couple days of all discussion being choked in an endless stream of Altman praise.

Not so flexible though (not saying that an SR-72 would be either), counter measures might be feasible as well I guess.
> At least not with reading every word.

That's the crux of the issue though, isn't it? I don't read words by reading single letters, and I don't think I read sentences by reading every single word either. That'd be the main reason why listening is slower than reading: the forced linearity.

To be fair, my "all" was clearly an exaggeration, I'm sure there are people for whom this doesn't apply, but I'd still expect it to apply to 50%+ of the populations of countries where literacy is not a significant issue anymore.

I don't yet see VVD governing with PVV either. They'll enter into talks, but let it crash and burn over something - a government with the PVV will probably be too volatile. And I doubt the PVV will go for another stint without their own ministers.

The other alternative seems palatable for all participants, and when it's the only remaining option, suddenly a lot is possible - especially for the parties who've already dropped out of a previous negotiation. But yes, Labour/Green/D66 will be suffering afterwards.
Cool! I haven't heard of Turso until now but it looks great. Why choose it over Planetscale, though?

I've been looking at HTMX + Go for some time but I just don't know if it's worth it over React which I already know. Is it really more productive, or is it simply a ideology/hype thing? I'm also a Go fan because it values simplicity, which I think we should all strive for, so the HTMX + Go combo appeals to me, even though I haven't looked at HTMX as I mentioned. Having to use C# and TypeScript at work, I start to see the real appeal of simplicity more and more... I'm becoming a grug brained dev :O
Satellites don't collect electronic radio waves, among other things, the same way a plane can. And despite all the advances in tech, lower flying aircraft will always have better resolution, which can matter. There's a reason a lot of online maps (google, etc) still use planes to capture the "satellite view".

This is also almost certainly unmanned.
Let's say there was a Corvette made in 1967. Let's say that in the 2030's, John Titor brought it back to the past. Let's say we found this car because it had a duplicate VIN number.

Then if we put the 2 cars side-by-side, we should be able to tell if one is a re-VINed stolen car, or if they are both the same car.

I suggested we look at welds that were done by hand in 1967 to determine if the 2 cars were the same car.

Does that make sense?
If it appears in the California Driver Handbook, it's not an edge case.

They did neither.
Most likely. Either that or some kind of hybrid OPV (optional pilot vehicle) system with a modular cockpit.
I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're working with n-bit integers and you interpret the value as unsigned, then all values >= 2^(n-1) (i.e. the upper half of the range) represent negative two's complement values. Or put another way, bit n-1 is on iff the value is negative.
> It's bizarre how people think it's dead.

Lots of reasons:

- the Python 2-3 migration clusterfuck (which is when I got to play around with it) burned a lot of people

- the learning curve just to get it set up and running is absolutely and horribly insane. It's understandable given its history of being open-source and because of that loved by universities who could shoehorn their existing crap infrastructure/hardware/designs into it. But that makes setting it up very very tedious and annoying, because there's countless options in the depths of its configuration files that you all need to go over so you don't miss anything.

- related: the effort required to set up clusters is soooo much higher for OpenStack vs VMware. VMware ESXi? A day or two, including racking and wiring, and I got something to show to my boss. OpenStack? Talk about three weeks until the myriad of its services are running without crashing under your feet twice an hour. Been there, done that, for both.

- the amount of people and skillsets you need to keep an OpenStack production cluster alive are, I'd say, double the headcount required for the usual VMware+Cisco+Netapp "standard" environment.

- there's barely any commercial support for OpenStack. And that's not "just" the usual vendor support side, but also the management side... finding freelancers or staff that has experience with VMware+Cisco+Netapp is easy, there's tons of people and MSPs with certifications on the market, but for OpenStack? Whoops.

Basically, even a small shop can't go wrong with a basic VMware setup, but OpenStack just doesn't make financial sense unless you're either an university (where you can hand over parts of the ops and support to students, and that has large enough demand for homegrown QEMU-KVM libvirt setups just being Not Enough anymore) or a huge institution (ISP, hosting provider, telco, large multinational megacorp) that wants to save the fuckton of money to VMware for licenses and has enough scale that the headcount for ops staff + Python developers is cheaper than VMware licenses.

What also killed a lot of demand for OpenStack (and a lot of other on-prem) was the general availability of reasonably-good-enough cloud providers. Why invest into an OpenStack environment and all the effort associated, when you can just rent servers on AWS?
I’m with zen. This lines up with my experience. Time to move to AA.

Because there are always more profitable projects than money. If you can liberate some money by cutting budgets elsewhere, you can run more of them.

Having money left over at the end of the budget year is a failure, as that money could have been used in a profitable projects.
Yeah, but then those smaller issues aren't usually contested. Humans are good at getting the directly and immediately relevant things right, where being wrong is experienced clearly and painfully. We have time-honed heuristics letting us scale this to small societies. Above that, things break down.

> $1-5

For a $20 device this is 5-25% of the cost the product, assuming $40 retail cost. It would be 1-5% for a $100 product, of course.

You would pay for a such device, but 99% of people wouldn't. Now you have a product which costs 5-25% higher than all your competitors and in the world where the price dictates the sales you have no opportunity to sell your product.

NB to be sure on the prices I've checked Amazon. There are SSDs what are cheaper than many mounting trays, enclosures (without drives) and tray kits.
the features you mention exclusively run when the device is not in use (night time, on mains) so performance should be secondary concern
