> Any decade now people are going to realize how awesome XMPP

In all honesty, it's not that awesome. It took XMPP over a decade to get features expected from modern protocols such as not requiring persistent connections, client notifications, conversation syncing between clients, file uploads, E2EE...
This is setting up machines to be in competition with people/farm animals for food, which is in scarce supply around the world.
Hearing aids are much better than most earbuds, especially with regard to power consumption. I have tinnitus, mild hearing loss, but wear cheapish Costco hearing aids as earbud replacement and the hope my tinnitus won't progress.
It indeed isn't that hard to get something up and running with oidc or oauth.

However, what becomes problematic is handling inherent complexity of whatever the provider you use is. If the OIDC flow is only intended for you or in-house at a company then it is less problematic. But when used by all sorts of people and devices, it will break in all sorts of problematic ways.

But that isn't to say that you shouldn't use the technology it is fantastic at what it does. I.e. handle social identities in the case of oidc, and authorization in the case of oauth

For the latter you could enable it, reboot and get the same information right away, then disable it?
Firefox autofill is really bad, while chrome's works most of the time, be it passwords/credit card info/ addresses.
They're relying on donations and money they make selling stuff (roasted coffee, I think) and they're spending the money to praise God, which is pretty much what a religious organization does. Hard to criticize them in any meaningful way.
Does the directions feature make them money? Or is it just some kpi being tracked?
It can be an NFT that's technically a red cross/crescent/lion/crystal on a white background, and verifiably endorsed/minted by the Red Cross organization for that specific use. That way the existing treaty applies by extension.

I just opened a tab with Google Maps to see "Berlin-Bezirk Neukölln", as I was reading an article on a news site about it.

My first thought was "I can't see shit with this new map" [0].

I also created a comparison between OSM, old map, new map of that section [1].

I wonder if this is Google trying to transfer less vector data per view.

Why could have? It is truly great. I've been running a server for my family for two years now and it has been pretty solid. If I show my friends how to get an XMPP address I also recommend them a modern client (Android: Conversations from F-Droid, iOS: Monal).

I feel like compatibility between clients is good, people just aren't used to having independent implementations anymore. It's easy to cook up your own protocol and have compatibility by being the only game in town but if you look at the bigger picture you have just created more fragmentation. We need more instant messaging standardization and XMPP serves an important role as the IETF internet standard for IM.

Hello, I work on seamless.

> It runs but any audio input (you will need to provide wav not mp3's) I tried (tried 20s/40s/300s) I get just one short sentence returned in target language that seems not related at all to my audio input (i.e. Tous les humains sont créés égaux).

You might want to open an issue on github for that one.
The model is made to work on short utterances, if you have a long speech, you'll want to segment it first.
I've tried "tous les humains sont créés égaux" on the demo: https://seamless.metademolab.com/expressive (which runs the same code as in the repo) and the output was correct. Maybe there is something wrong going on in the conversion of the input audio?

> Oh and why is Whisper a dependency? Seems not need if FB has their own model?

Whisper is a dependency as it's used as a baseline for evaluation. You can check out the paper for explanations.
one company i worked for mandated underpowered laptops for frontend engineers and split their wifi so that everyone in that group had poor internet when trying to see/test their own work (the rest of the internet was fast). everyone complained. except for the users. the website (a very complex web app full of graphs, images, videos etc) was super fast and tiny.

there are other ways of doing this, but i found this approach interesting.

That is probably also the best path if you choose to use oidc as a login / identity solution etc. They do give a lot of stuff out of the box, as well as making it quite easy to integrate with. But at quite the price =D

From my point of view the dangers are implementing parts of this protocol yourself (i.e. becoming one of the parts in the login chain), it requires a surprising amount work to mature, which is why relying on Auth0 which already has been through that is quite nice.

--------------

After being on a sabbatical for a year, I'm looking forward to get back to work!

With over ten years of experience, I worked mainly frontend/backend at SaaS companies, with an everlasting curiosity to understand the product.

That said, I'm not afraid to learn a new programming language/framework or to dive into the infrastructure.

Problem solving for me does not stop at the code/product, I'm always running into ways to improve the development process or to help fellow peers by mentoring/coaching.

Are you looking for an engineering manager or software engineer, to help your team reach their full potential and deliver high-end quality code/features?

I'm available immediately and looking for a full-time remote, long-term position. Preferably with a company developing a SaaS product in Europe (CET +/- 2 hours).
That is when you point to the ticket description and ask "where does it diverge from this description?"
LH2 would not fit in the wings, but would fit handily in nacelles slung under them. Space aboard aircraft is cheap; it is weight that costs.
Why do you want to rip out pipes before banning small/private jets?
Interesting to see whether they'll too might encounter the problem of lack of sufficient training data.
Reinhold Messner (first guy to solo the Everest without oxygen and generally a insane alpinist) would say that the climbing part isn't what makes these high elevation mountains hard. It is the lack of oxygen which means your brain operates in a fog and the simplest of actions like tying your shoes will take forever. And that in an environment where a single wrong movement can kill you.

Messner and others keep harping on how the hardest part is mentally going forward in auch an environment. I would add: move yourself forward in such an environment and know when to cancel the thing so you won't die.
And because they knew that flight went out the same time every day.
It always was an architectural movement influenced by political motivations: reaction to nostalgic architecture of the 40s and low cost social housing influenced by socialist principles. It was pretty much imposed in uk by the government after the war and created a series of terrible housing estates in which crime proliferated (because they are impossible to police). Brutalist aesthetic became a thing long after, as an acquired taste.

Also tbh when people think of brutalist aesthetics they usually think of the same few grand building (like the Barbican Centre in London) that costed a lot of money, are constantly maintained to this day and are kind of an one-off. The day to day reality of brutalism, unfortunately, are huge blocks of high density houses in terrible maintenance conditions (reinforced concretes dissolves easily and leaves leaks and rusty rebar exposed) that cannot be replaced anymore.

Whishing all the best to the railway team, they really are building something nice. Hopefully the move to bare metal will mean price reductions for customers. I am philosophically opposed to cloud providers charging per user on top of very expensive resources but it might just be me.
I fail to see how this will “hurt” innocent people. People using ai to mislead others are not innocent. Meta should ban fake use profiles. Criminals are already leveraging procedurally generated images to milk incels of their money with fake profiles. Soon politicians and their simps will too. Ban them all.
> It's just binocular vision at work.

Agreed, these are just binocular vision. But here's an interesting one.

A relative had a pituitary tumor crushing her optic nerve, and went to a specialist who ran some tests as she was seeing Van Gogh style patterns everywhere. It turns out she had no color vision in the periphery, but she didn't know this. It was only when she couldn't correctly identify the color of some lights until they were right in front of her, and she got freaked out by it.
Hmm the main issue sounds like the market capture is limited - I highly disagree bigtech companies have achieved what we already have - maybe OpenAI or other AI companies might have done it - but it's all "might" have.

I worked myself in the past at NVIDIA making algos faster, so it's not a done deal big tech companies have all the tips and tricks. They have the best hardware, but software not so much.

The issue with licensing code is your revenue capture is minimal - maybe a training platform which provides everyone and not just big tech companies a cheap and efficient implementation sounds much better.

The issue with licensing is how much do you charge? How do you monitor usage? Etc
Earplugs often give me tinnitus when I am wearing them.
Yeah okay, that must be something different (that I can't do) then.
Not sure if this fits but compsci student from Germany here.

Ever since I was unceremoneously kicked out of my parents' house after graduating from HS I've lived in a student dorm, now sharing a flat with a friend splitting rent.
Been somewhat "cruising along" financially in the sense that I gained roughly enough to pay my monthly expenses with not much wiggle room. Had to go a bit into debt to fund moving into the dorm initially and never exactly recovered from that debt, just hovering with nothing really changing.

Recently lost access to my student loan as I am too slow to study for their requirements but I've managed to offset that by working as sysadmin/tech support at a small uni lab. My main sources of income being this job, "child benefits", and a half-orphan pension (lost my mom to alcohol when I was 15, dad remarried later). This half-orphan pension now _also_ fell off until I have the paperwork handled to re-request it after they asked me for proof that I've been studying two years ago, which I sent in too late. This pension also covered healthcare automatically.

Now with my pension out of the picture until they process it I have been thrown into the regular healthcare system, which added a monthly expense that I was not prepared for, especially because they are also requesting that I retroactively pay up for 3 months of apparently missed contributions/fees. Sent them an email a few days ago asking if it was possible to pay this off in monthly rates to hopefully make it a bit more manageable, but they have a very archaic policy of not responding to emails and only sending out paper mail. I also tried calling but the person I talked to wasn't exactly helpful outside of "have you tried sending an email".
I am honestly at a bit of a loss as to how to approach this.

There were some pipe dreams of finding more work but the job market is, excuse the expression, fucked. Nobody would employ a student who hasn't finished their bachelor's yet. I'll probably try to find a job at some fastfood place or grocery store next and put my studies on pause. This might bite me back later because of credit point requirements from my course but still better than having debt collectors on my ass.

I understand that this is all over the place. It would mean the world to me if someone could even find the time to chime in and give some advice.
I don't believe these groups should have free rein on the internet. However, I am also not in favor of Cloudflare acting as the police of the internet. Ideally the internet shouldn't be so centralized around Cloudflare as it is, while the regulations and laws that would govern such actions to take care of the problem need to be put in place.

It's a tricky situation, and whether or not Cloudflare endorses, facilitates, or turns a blind eye to DDoS attacks shouldn't matter as much as it currently does.

Offer a (pricy) license to existing training platform providers. It will still make save a lot on infra costs.
Another reason is that many humanitarian organisations get out of the conflict zone pretty fast once their handlers' real antagonists come to the fore, notice how's no Red Cross or any such presence in the Donbass, to say nothing of the many countries in the Sahel and in Central Africa which have switched sides to the Russians and the Chinese.

As to why the West chooses to instrumentalise humanitarian organisations, that's another discussion.

csproj is fairly similar to cargo.toml except xml, it is easily edited by hand or CLI tooling. For sln, you just use dotnet new sln, dotnet sln add and remove commands.

What i do not understand is why normal hearing tests were seen as a counter argument to the brain compensation for hering loss theory. If the brain compensated for the loss of nerve or hearing cells, the signal should be back to normal but with more noise, the failure of adaptation of the brain to the noise results in tinnitus. To have patients with normal or nearly normal hearing tests but tinnitus would be expected.
I am confused about this article, I would assume raider bands would exist before full scale battles would have happened. 13,400 years ago is later neolithic, I am sure humans were raiding each other before that.

> In our experience, Google isn’t the place for reliable cloud compute

In the early days of cloud computing unreliability was understandable, but for Google to be frustrating its large customers in 2023 is a pretty bad look.

Curious to know if others have had similar experiences, or if the author was simply unlucky?
Jets? I thought lead was added to fuel to prevent "pinking", which is the pre-ignition of fuel in the cylinders of a piston engine. Why does jet fuel need lead?

That's really cool. It's similar to how I can only read what's in the exact center of my vision, but I don't really notice because I'm always looking at what I'm trying to read. When my eyes move, my brain still maintains the illusion that what I'm reading has not actually moved, I look where I am focusing, so the data is there when I need it.

This is all really cool, honestly.

I can read fine from my left eye, but if I try to read with my right eye, then both eyes will be superimposed, and sometimes I'll get confused when my brain is trying to parse two sentences at once and it forgets which eye it's reading with.

My right eye is defective, lol. Even though it can see perfectly clearly and sharply, my brain just doesn't treat it properly. Everything that relies on having two eyes works fine, like depth perception, but anything that relies on only one eye, can only really be done with my left.
More information about openchat itself:

If you account for resources which have been put into development of those features, it's pretty obvious XMPP is the more agile protocol. Five independent open source developers take longer to develop some feature in their spare time than a corporation with tens of millions of venture capital funding, and sometimes they're even faster? Imagine what could be if people focused on XMPP instead of constantly re-inventing the wheel.
