Okay, that is fair: I am also not happy about us being late with security patches for several weeks. I am not directly involved in that anymore, but I believe, we currently have a policy to release updates quarterly.

Back when I was still working on security updates, this took up so much resources that we struggled to work on anything else (bug fixes, major upgrades, etc.). It is unfortunately a compromise that we currently have to make with our limited resources.

Still, we are planning to release these regular security updates for 10 years and we have a track record of sticking to such plans. In my opinion, that is much better than having monthly updates for a couple of years. (Btw: outside of flagships, many models don't get monthly updates anyway and not even for long.)

> and they didn't even think Altman was that great as a CEO.

There are plenty of people who think that. Even the OA executives apparently weren't nearly as enthused with Altman as all those social-media hearts might lead one to assume. See the Time article yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38550240 specifically

The board expected pressure from investors and media. But they misjudged the scale of the blowback from within the company, in part because they had reason to believe the executive team would respond differently, according to two people familiar with the board’s thinking, who say the board’s move to oust Altman was informed by senior OpenAI leaders, who had approached them with a variety of concerns about Altman’s behavior and its effect on the company’s culture.
I don't know much about the Cybertruck, but in general all modern cars, electrically propulsed or not, have a 12 V system which includes a battery for running electronics and some accessories. Very old cars had a 6 V system. There is a push to move to higher voltages, the battery would also be 48 V to match. https://my.avnet.com/abacus/resources/article/the-shift-to-4...

Can you talk about GrapheneOS a bit? I'm seriously considering switching over but don't really know anything about the people maintaining the project. Most seem to use pseudonyms and I saw the founder Daniel Micay recently quit the project over some drama. Which is his right, fair enough. Is anyone trustworthy auditing the code and how do I know a competent team will still be around in a few years maintaining it?

Don't get me wrong, I definitely appreciate what they're doing. It's just we do so much with our smartphones these days, it's hard not to be paranoid about security issues or hacks. I really want to say goodbye to Apple though.
Sorry, is this a rhetorical question? I thought the fact that SSH does TOFU was (somewhat) common knowledge, which is why it spits out all kinds of scary MITM warnings when a host fingerprint changes.

If you're connecting to an SSH server for the first time and don't already have a pre-established host fingerprint, then yes: someone who controls your server's DNS records can redirect you to another SSH host, which you'll then (presumably) enter your password into.

I hadn’t thought about it until just now, but the most recent Apple events really are the closest real-person thing I’ve ever seen to some of the “good” computer generated photorealistic (kinda…) humans “reading” with text-to-speech that I’ve seen.

Given the massive data volume in videos, I assumed it processed video into pictures by extracting a frame per second or something along those lines, while still taking the entire video as the initial input.

Not relying on laws like this allows for more adaptability to local conditions or preferences, if the system allows this, while also having mechanisms for enforcement when a company has simply decided "we don't do business that way, and we don't care if that runs counter to the local norms".

Sorry to hear this is happening, it sounds like you have been doing everything you could to support both your daughter and partner. It doesn't sound like she has any kind of equity in the business as she didn't help you with it, but most likely you will be required to pay child support for your daughter if she will be living with her mother. Depending on your state/country there may be pre-emptive paperwork you can file for child support to ensure there is no question on your willingness to provide for your daughter.

It's less of a safety but more of a production and environmental constraints issue. Cat5 cables are too heavy for cars. Their connectors aren't made for vibration. They have a lot of emissions which is a problem for the mission critical parts (Ethernet Phy often isn't mission critical). They are expensive, which is actually the biggest reason they aren't good for automotive.

Automotive reliability is only an issue for your ABS sensor, airbag sensor etc. but these are a minority compared to what's in modern cars these days. Real driver is cost, compactness (cost) and harsh environment (temperature and vobrations) and EM emissions. It mainly adds to qualification time, but actual semiconductor design cycle isn't that long. That being said, data center stuff is also notoriously slow to qual.

My favorite was how the first android phone was rooted. They left a root terminal running in the background, so for example if on your homescreen you typed "reboot" and hit enter, your phone would reboot. So all you needed to do was launch a telnet daemon and you could telnet in and do whatever you wanted to the device.
> Curious to know, why does distrust towards Tailscale come up so often around here?

I have a guess - I suspect it's because in the domain it addresses, attitudes are towards self-reliance, privacy and autonomy.

If someone uses Tailscale in some cloudy (aka all someone else's computers) setup, they probably don't bother. They already shift trust and rely on other people.

But Tailscale is infrequently used to manage own devices, which is why it clashes with self-reliance attitudes. If you run your own private hardware and networks, all or many of those in your own castle, it may bug you to introduce (or I'd rather say trust) a third party unless you're forced to. Not because it's not trustworthy, but because of the self-reliance attitude and desire to have full control over what you think of your own systems.

Sure, you're forced to trust your electricity provider (but you have an UPS) or network uplink (and even then you make security precaution), but trust in Tailscale is kind of optional (it's not irreplaceable), and not everyone feel like they want it.

Pretty much the same why a lot of people frown upon IoT stuff, even if it's from rare vendors who go extra mile to make things reliable - because of the hypothetical "but what if?" and feeling that you're losing the control here.

Just a guess, though. Others' mileage may vary.

Someone on Twitter was also skeptical that the material is more dense than water. I happened to have a rubber duck handy so I cut a sample of material and put it in water. It sinks to the bottom.

Of course the ultimate skeptic would say one test doesn't prove that all rubber ducks are the same. I'm sure someone at some point in history has made a rubber duck out of material that is less dense than water. But I invite you to try it yourself and I expect you will see the same result unless your rubber duck is quite atypical.

Somewhat related, in that involves the X-Files and hidden songs, the CD of X-Files related music had a "Track 0" that can be accessed by rewinding beyond 0:00 of track 1: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_in_the_Key_of_X:_Music_f...

> Producers used the Compact Disc's pregap, so a listener would have to actually manually rewind the first track a full nine minutes to hear two additional hidden tracks, "Time Jesum Transeuntum Et Non Riverentum" and a cover of The X-Files theme song, both performed by Nick Cave and Dirty Three.[20] This is hinted at in the album's liner booklet, which notes "Nick Cave and the Dirty Three would like you to know that "0" is also a number".[21] The use of these hidden tracks has been described as "just the sort of surprise one might have suspected from a show that deals in unexplainable mysteries".[22] Not all CD or DVD players will allow the album to be "rewound" back to these tracks as this violates Red Book standards.[23]

Ahh, no.

AC is fundamentally different from DC when it comes to arcing behavior, because it has zero-crossings. If a switch arcs while switching AC, the arc goes out 1/120th of a second later. An arc would have to be pretty enormous to have enough thermal mass to remain ionized long enough for the next half-wave to re-energize it and sustain it. (HV AC transmission and distribution tends to have SF6-filled switches for this reason.) But around the house, your AC switches are really simple because they're not moving anywhere near that much power. And statistically, some fraction of switch openings happen with near-zero instantaneous current anyway.

DC, by comparison, is brutal to switch. It doesn't have zero crossings, so the arc has to be blown out by the design of the switch. That means nice wide contact openings, and on really large ones, magnetic blowouts to divert the arc into chutes that cool it.

If you look at a switch datasheet.... pulling up a randomly-selected one from Digi-Key now.... https://mm.digikey.com/Volume0/opasdata/d220001/medias/docus...

Look at the cycle ratings. It has a bunch of different ratings depending on the contact form (some that're forced apart, some that're sprung apart), but in all cases, the DC rating is equal or much lower current than the AC rating. And the DC ratings only go to 24V, this switch IS NOT RATED for use at 48VDC at all, despite happily going to 250V when switching AC.

So, if you're comparing apples to apples, if you had 48VAC for instance, that would be easier to switch than 120VAC. (At constant current, that is. If you want to move the same power, you need more current at the lower voltage, and it gets harder again.) But DC is oranges.

Yes, switching 48VDC is harder than switching 12VDC, but only at constant current. And it may require _different_ switches than 12VDC. Given that you only need a quarter as much current to move the same power, it's still a net win, but it's not at all comparable to switching AC.
Article does give context as to what "inconsistently candid" meant: Altman allegedly went to each board member to say some negative things about Toner, but when board members got together to verify consistency they found out Altman said a false or misleading thing to at least one board member about Toner.

I'm sure you know this, but they're actually interrupting your meal every 5 minutes to minimize any possible delay in seating the next person after you. They just accomplish that by asking if everything is ok.

It's all about throughput.

(And it's a US thing. In France, among other places, you're expected to be the only group using the table for that meal. Which means they're in no rush for you to finish, but also that they are not happy if a group sits down but only a subset of people order food. Sometimes to the extent of asking you to leave.)

We have penrose tiles on the fridge that I 3d printed years ago and glued magnets into. He begged and begged and begged me to make similar hat tiles. There were two problems - the 3d printer was currently broken, and work had slammed me so hard that I had no time for side projects. Finally I found an afternoon and we made about 20 hat tiles together out of vinyl and magnet strips. They currently live on our fridge.

Of course then they promptly went and discovered spectre tiles.

I have since fixed my 3d printer. And it occurs to me that that does open up a rather obvious option for a Christmas present.
> no other ISP

I live in Iowa and the problem we have is nobody markets their stuff very well. We have a fixed wireless provider that, looking at their website, looks like they are just a cell tower climbing service. But they also lease space on just about every tall structure in the region (grain elevators etc) and can connect anything to anything. We got to them because we asked a WISP if they would do a private backhaul and the guy referred us over to somebody's cell phone. I guess they are happy to just have word of mouth and only have the website to reel in bonus work with the out of town telcos.
