If I win a 100 meters running race should I start advertising that I won a 200 meters race?

Yes, I know but I was specifically talking about the EU, since that's the only government legislation for open access.
It’s not like they are selling or planning to sell it in the UK to be fair
I love the Hue switch, but the size is just terrible. If this thing would fit in Decorator Plates i'd have replaced every switch in my house with them. A switch that looks and feels like a built-in but is held on by magnets and you can take with you? That's a win.

There used to be a switch made by Lutron that's close. It's held in the wall plate with a little tab and it works with Hue, but they discontinued it a few years ago, and it's exceptionally hard to find them now.
The Cybertruck is for moving people's cred points to your ledger, not for taking cinder blocks to the construction site.
Generally DNS exfil isn't really "stealthy". It's just that it often bypasses the controls of poorly configured networks. But DNS isn't inherently a stealthy protocol, it's something most people monitor in a corp environment, in my experience.

For production environments it's really unnecessary to allow most egress traffic, but it's especially unnecessary to allow DNS. What addresses are your servers resolving publicly? You might want DNS for service discovery but obviously that requires no public resolvers, and any DNS exfil requires public resolvers. If you do require some public DNS I'd suggest limiting it considerably in a production environment, you rarely need legitimately arbitrary public DNS access. Even for niche scenarios (like maybe a "scan this URL" service) you can isolate the DNS resolution.

For corporate environments I feel like you can just drop all TXT records. The most trivial form of DNS exfil is always via TXT. Based on the code this appears to be TXT-based as well (hence the 255 character limit, which is because TXT records encode length with a single byte).

Is there even a legitimate use for a public TXT record for corporate devices? Genuine question, I legit do not know of one but I could easily be missing something.
> but like for MySQL, PG, PlanetScale, or most DBs at scale, you shouldn't use them.

Tell that to the people who have been successfully building massive databases in RDBMS for decades making extensive use of FKs and FK constraints.
It might be a conspiracy, or it might just be a lot of users going "well, duh?" or disagree with your notion. At least you can control what you put into the system, where companies like Google vacuum every behaviour from your emails, browser history, location data etc. That doesn't make ChatGPT any less problematic in terms of privacy, but I certainly don't think it's the "biggest privacy disaster ever".
Chromaprint computes “features” roughly 8 times per second. You can do a brute-force search checking different times in a song or potentially do some more fancy indexing once you have the features.
(I did some experiments with Chromaprint - described here, https://kenschutte.com/phingerprint/)
The problem isn’t the lead itself, it’s the phenomenon of tin whiskering that can happen with some Pb-free solder alloys where metallic hair-like structures grow from the solder and cause arcs or short circuits.

This is one such example of a failure in space due to tin whiskers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_IV
This massively obscures all the incredible efforts by people in those companies over the decades to bring us from unreliable, insecure, hyper slow, wired proof of concept to something so valuable everyone will pay for it.
That's like asking how to right click on a television. Mobile devices are designed primarily for mindless content consumption and personal data collection so basic functionality is crippled by design

I get that "Use a real computer" isn't helpful though, so I'd recommend getting an app like NewPipe since you can use the "share" button there to copy the video's URL with the current timestamp included to your clipboard or paste it directly into apps of your choosing.
The recordings are available for download, so if a company wants to use them for less noble causes, they can already do that.
Similar story. I'm also running my SaaS on Clojure and maintenance has been a dream compared to other languages. Things rarely break and are easy to upgrade.

Developer experience is fantastic too with HMR, REPL and cljc files. It's fun to write Clojure code :)
Thanks - missed that because it was in a picture. I even went back and CTRL-F'd before I replied but of course that didn't work either...
I haven't actually used bpftrace myself, only BCC. I can totally imagine it being more janky than DTrace, BCC is pretty janky even if I also think it's cool. In my eBPF tracing framework I had to add special handling counters to alert you if it ever lost any events, plausible bpftrace didn't do that.
To start from an original song and move it towards something that resebme a real life recording ? IOW : make the NN learn to distinguish between the song sound and its environment ?
> Your battery life doesn't match the manufacturer claims

They are still measuring that in a defined standardized way. It might be very different from real world conditions but that doesn’t mean that they are explicitly lying.
I am not sure there is even a lie. The video shows 1/8 mile and is only a 5-6 second race. While it talks about 1/4 mile that takes 11 seconds.

Edit: I am not sure why people are unhappy. But if they say they can do 1/4 of a mile in a certain time and they can, it's not a lie even if they show a video of 1/8 of a mile run.
I always think about this even today when an older car passes by - you can really smell the difference between 1980s exhaust filtering and more modern technology, and imagine how it must have been when all cars smelled that way. So technology is improving, but I'm not optimistic that we will get completely rid of motor traffic in cities in my lifetime...
The project probably at least partially serves as documentation for other platforms to integrate Silicon acceleration. It basically demonstrates how to use macOS Accelerate and Metal MPS (metal performance shaders) using C++ for Machine Learning and training optimization.

Thus other platforms can simply take this backend-code and integrate it. (Pytorch basically did that already with Apple's help).
Li Shufu and Qin Gang were handpicked by Xi. It doesn't make sense saying these were "purges" because they were the enemies. They do however avoid putting out reasons for high level officials removals in general to avoid embrassment, which imo is actually bad for image in the long run.
Note the group who publishes that.

Same in Australia, ACCC can be anal about wording in any ads. But it's unlikely to be advertised the same way.
I do like Go tests. Would love to have ability to find out untested parts of the code base though to increase coverage, but I do not think there is a way to measure this with available tools just yet.

Although I have yet to make integration tests that require live database and other dependencies. That will be fun...

Anyway, my main gripe with tests or TDD is that even if the code base is 95% finished, not talking libraries here, even small code changes can cause a cascade of changes that need to be addressed and tests essentially multiply the work load by a factor of 10, easy. And I am not talking about big changes. It might be a simple addition of a new struct field which suddenly breaks half of your test suite. Hence teste should be, in my experience, written as the absolutely last step before going live. Otherwise they might impose massive costs on time, and potentially money(if we're talking actual business and not one man shot type of project).
So basically, doing to infrastructure the microservices approach?

a) if you're going to intentionally make the trade-off to have higher costs in exchange for reducing ops load and simplifying administration within an account, where services make network calls across accounts, then adopting ECS/Fargate is probably a significant improvement over Kubernetes.

b) The underlying engineering / financial reality is still there and very much a leaky abstraction that will show up on your AWS bill. Cross-VPC, cross-region, and cross-AZ networking costs are very real overhead that you must consider; you either still have centralized network planning with shared VPCs and subnets or you basically decide to give up and let AWS send you the bill when teams create their own VPCs, their own subnets, etc.

c) setting up DNS / service discovery and network controls within a single cluster is simple. Doing so across account boundaries is not, and deciding to set up solutions like AWS Transit Gateway incur their own costs.

I'm sure it simplifies some things for some people, but Finance is going to get upset pretty quickly. Once you start to go down that path, it's very difficult to back out.
Most people don't bother about it. Consumerism makes people more conform and less conflicting.
I'd assume adding noise is done once per song and is thus a bit computationally cheaper than trying to denoise each input.
ah, good point, I misread the bit “percentage of DNS shared with relatives”, I really thought one could share only Chromosome 3 with relatives for example (which does not make sense, granted), and that it was the bit which was stolen. Thanks for pointing this out.

Fair? Serial liars use up the available goodwill until there is none left.

This is the reputation Musk and Tesla want to have. They have gone out of their way to earn it. It's a shame they feel the need to lie so often.
The non-mutable shutter sounds exist for a reason, a good reason at that. It's not an oppressive policy.

Requiring phone numbers to sign up or activate accounts is increasingly common outside Korea as well.
Optimism vs. Pessimism - that's not the only choice.

Both fix a strategy before looking at the question.

Another strategy would be to look at the question at hand and what we can predict with what uncertainty about relevant variables.
Compatibility didn't matter as much because you couldn't count on people having either a Zip drive or an LS-120.
Iomega had the solution: a portable version of the Zip drive that connected to the parallel (printer) port. That thing was very popular for 'exchanging' software in those days ;)

fellow selfhosted ntfy user. fantastic product.
That one is clear to me too, also no. How would she know? No where did you specify that she even thought going to church would solve her problems. She was told to visit church, yes, but there has to be a belief component to "knowing". Did she genuinely believe going to church would solve her medical problems? Hope and desperation don't count either, it has to be a genuine belief. Also, she was told be pray to Jesus. Depending on if you're religious or not you might say that Jesus did cure her, but a pretty strong argument could be made that the church-goers were the key, so even if she did believe Jesus would cure her, if it ends up being something else, then it also doesn't count.
Very inspiring. Thanks Evan!

> The expectation users have on the front end has also changed. Like, people nowadays expect really polished front ends. They expect interactions to be snappy. Yesterday I was using an app that refreshed the page on every button click. And I felt like hell.

This one made me laugh, as I'm building an app/sideproject that's like that with very minimal js. I hope he wasn't referring to that one :p
I think it is a feature from functional programming. In some level, I more agree with jax style.
Based on the title and intro, I think part of the point of this post was to have something to link to for a “good enough” answer to this common question. I’m guessing he wrote this relatively quickly. It was a choice made over ten years ago. Trying to recreate the decision would likely be rather time consuming, prone to mistakes, and really only invite more discussion.
I often felt more connected to many books/authors/historical figures, than live people whom I interacted with on a day to day basis.

I realised company/loneliness is not merely about the physical, but it is about a sort of connection that happens at a subtler mental level.

Not sure whether others have had similar experiences.

Either way, if there is any truth to my experience, then you may have to think deeper about what is connection about and how to make it happen more often.

Another pattern I've noticed, natural communities emerging from hobbies/topics, such as in Discord and Youtube.
I very much like this post, but I would suggest a small edit: "toxic double-standards" -> "double-standards".
JT-60 is a similar size and age to JET in England. JT-60 has been rebuilt over the last few years to use superconducting magnets.

JET was shut down at the end of October.
Yes, I agree, but AFAICT we have two questions in this subthread:

- about common usage of the word - and here it _seems to me_ it's context- and domain-specific, because for instance we don't call cars a road infrastructure

- whether Polish penal code treats trains as rail infrastructure - and here I don't know, but I found a railway transport bill that lists what's considered infrastructure, and trains are not there
Netflix is paying for the infrastructure because for every byte that Netflix "pushes" there is a "pull" side who is paying for their residential internet access. What is the consumer paying the ISP for if the ISP is charging every service that the consumer is using more money separately?
Then can you explain how cloud workloads is the revenge of the microkernel, since there is exactly 1 major cloud provider that uses a microkernel-like hypervisor?

Pros:

- Many available flats.

- Good night life.

- Many things to do.

- Public transport is ok. Great compared to the US at least.

Cons:

- Terrible for starting a startup (bureaucracy, little interest from VCs, governmental grants are assigned based on meeting formal requirements instead of potential success of business)

- Taxes are beyond crazy and people request them to be increased even further.

- Social initiatives only target those who are experts in bureaucracy and know how to take advantage of them.

- Populist goverment
Yeah, I think we're agreeing but in different ways. I think of my free time as mostly worthless to others, but infinitely valuable to myself, so I refuse to put a dollar value on it.

And sure, I agree that it's nice to see people spending their most valuable time doing something they enjoy, in this case interesting projects.

But as I've said elsewhere, personally, I wouldn't spend my time making a copy of something I can just buy a better version of cheaply elsewhere; if I'm going to spend my time on a project, I'd rather spend my time doing something different, like something new or a customized version of something, which I can't easily buy. But it's not black and white; I'll happily spend my time fixing my bike instead of paying someone to do it, for instance. (Of course, paying a professional might take more time once you consider how long it takes to bring the bike to them, and then wait a week for them to get to it...) I like fixing things like that, so for me it's enjoyable.

Possibly one cybersecurity-related thing you could do is run a headless browser inside this VM, and bridge the network requests to the host network (a little bit like Docker).

Using my open-source BrowserBox^0 project then you could have a "bit more isolated" Browser running on your Android device that would add "VM escape" to any zero-day exploit chain that might be a risk.

This is speculation tho, I don't know if it's actually feasible based on the Android reality right now, but assuming the capabilities that are provided are like a regular headless VM, then it should be. :)

That can be achieved through anonimity. I don't understand why companies have to know who I am in such detail. Every little website requires my phone number, SSN, retina patterns and the name of my childhood pet. If I could use 23andme under the pen name "Ivar the Boneless" and pay for it with a bit of cash in an envelope (or crypto), the current problem wouldn't exist.

Tools like Telegram or Signal do not allow creating accounts without having a valid phone number. Of course, it is possible to use a web service to receive the registration SMS, but that shouldn't be the case in the first place.
Why does he need to raise? World's richest person can't invest in it himself?
the problem is that most people do not monitor heavy use of TXT records; it's rather A/AAAA resolves in my experience.

but most production system i've seen allow all outgoing traffic (if poorly managed) or restrict it to port 443 (for some APIs) which is kind of all.

so if you're not in a very very restricted system (and then DNS should be restricted as well!) you'll most likely find an easy way to copy stuff over HTTPS.
Discussion point: Is this exclusive to the tech world? Or occurring more often?

This was in fact I think the earlier model at least implicitly: scientists were hired and tenured by the institution, with the understanding that their job was to teach and do research. The institution-level nature of things ensured a kind of distributed, local funding of researchers. There wasn't a need to "move things to the states" because that's were things were at for the most part, and grants were seen as a way to fund research projects.

Now, however, institutions sort of exist as franchises or satellite branches of the federal government. So tenure is often seen as heavily dependent on funding with indirect costs, which generally comes from federal grants. The locality doesn't exist so much anymore because the local institutions have basically decided that the researcher is there to make them money, not that they pay the researcher to do research.

I don't necessarily disagree with the author of the article, it's just that I'd argue things have gone so far off the rails that we don't necessarily recognize when proposals are for something that in some respects is a return to how things used to be.

Regardless I think there's important things in the piece to think about. The basic focus — the lack of change in academics despite overwhelming evidence of its problems — is critical.

Yeah I don’t understand that at all. I’m usually a pessimistic person and I consider that to be unrealistic. “Predicting” the future is a classic symptom of depression and anxiety. They wouldn’t be depressed if they were predicting good things.
> Really sad that it seems like Korean users will be cut off from major platforms.

This will always be an issue with SPNP. Anybody who doesn't want to pay is basically removed from the internet for customers of the ISP.

It gets even worse when ISPs own competitors to the senders service. Comcast owns Peacock; think about what relative subscription prices would be if they could charge Netflix for access to your connection, but Peacock gets it for free (even if they are required to pay, they are paying it to themselves).
Well that's an illusion of physics education -- you can model almost nothing in the world this way. Rather we engineer circumstances (devices, experiments, etc.) where nature is forced to imitate this otherwise useless approximation.

And mostly this fails. You cant really analyse the world using simple closed-form formula -- all the stuff that this worked for is studied and reported in books.
Sure, but single pixels are irrelevant if the responsiveness is dominated by the time to draw a frame. OLEDs have gray-to-gray response times below a ms as I said (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GH6ngr-wws&t=269s)
Most of the FC's are highly toxic when exposed to fire.

R-1234yf is not only (slightly) flammable but also releases hydrogen fluoride and carbonyl fluoride when exposed to fire, but this is what is in almost all new cars.

I've run a propane/butane mix in an R12 car before and the fact that it was flammable didn't bother me a bit. The 14 gallons of gas would worry me more than 12oz of propane going up.
By not running monolithic kernels on top of bare metal, rather virtualized, or even better with nested virtualization, thus throwing out the door all the supposedly performance advantages in the usual monolithic vs microkernel flamewar discussions, regarding context switching.

Real question: Where do you go instead? Or, do you use Google to find blog posts with the answers that you need?
