It was very, very clear that they’ve outsourced support and their reps have no authority to help. I was either chatting with a very good GPT bot or a very bot-like human with no authority or agency who will be replaced by a good-enough GPT in short order.

I think it would be easy enough for them to…I dunno, ask me for a doctors note? (That’s what everyone else who needs to confirm this situation has asked for.) But that wouldn’t “scale” <eyeroll>.

Thanks for the well-wishes; my kid impresses me every day. Maybe less Netflix will be a silver lining. :-)

What makes things problematic is the overbearing love for letterbox like aspect ratios, even pirates have standards and they're having to bundle a slew of aspect ratios together .. this comes from the production companies.
Modularity and abstraction come up against some limits when different customers have incompatible domain models, and thus different ideas of what your product ought to be.

While I've seen its historical accuracy questioned, something about this satire from Pentagon Wars still resonates: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA
American Prometheus revealed the most compelling reason for using both bombs I’ve seen to date:

Truman had extracted a promise from Stalin that the Soviet Union would declare war on Japan by August 15—an event that he and many of his military planners thought would be decisive. “He’ll [Stalin] be in the Jap war on August 15,” Truman wrote in his diary on July 17. “Fini Japs when that comes about.”

Even more than avoiding a bloody island-hopping invasion of Japan, Truman wanted to avoid having to divide East Asia with the USSR as they had done Europe. The Soviets declared war on Japan and invaded Manchuria on August 7, one day after Hiroshima and two days before Nagasaki. By August 15, the Japanese had surrendered, largely limiting the Soviet sphere of influence to mainland Asia.
At the moment you need to send state between WebAssembly and JS contexts in order to manipulate the DOM.

> By itself, WebAssembly cannot currently directly access the DOM; it can only call JavaScript, passing in integer and floating point primitive data types. Thus, to access any Web API, WebAssembly needs to call out to JavaScript, which then makes the Web API call. Emscripten therefore creates the HTML and JavaScript glue code needed to achieve this.

> Note: There are future plans to allow WebAssembly to call Web APIs directly.

Spotify has the same songs as Apple Music, Deezer or whatever.

Everything should be everywhere. Let the services compete on something other than content.

Qobuz has the same songs as everyone else, but in higher quality.

Because when you compete on content, piracy always wins
Same. I have a Kobo Libra (I bough a Kindle Basic before this and it's so locked down I switched). I put Koreader on it (easy process) and I used it more than my phone. The current book is at most a button press away. It's lighter and more ergonomic than the phone too.

I also have a dedicated audio player (Shanling M0). Great for listening to an album before sleeping or for focus sessions.

I prefer having dedicated devices. The phone is only for communication, taking photos, and quick browsing. And some of the desktop apps I use have their mobile counterparts so I can do a quick tasks without getting the laptop. And I think that suits its main purpose for me, a PDA.
But if I wanted to do something other than watch the film why wouldn’t I just download it from a “pirate” site?

What is the benefit to the rights holder in having a “secure device”
Agreed, I haven't been too impressed with poetry.
That is a perfect translation!

A a Dutch guy, I have the same with Norwegian, Swedish and maybe Danish: I can skim the headlines in newspapers and figure out what it's about.
This should be the topmost comment. By having the government not reveal their information on you, they gain leverage. Just because you think the government might know about that income, you will report it. Tax evasion would be a lot easier without this.
Great stuff!

Just want to mention, when I search for “ExpressLRS use uart on older f4 fcs” it gives me about 15 results, but only the first two are unique. The other 13 are a literal copy of the first, both in content and in URL. Probably best to filter for uniqueness

There are a lot of projects around WebAssembly. But technology is hidden from external view. (Some self promotion, I am creating https://exaequos.com, a new Unix like OS running in a web browser)
The first two paragraphs: you are me. The last one: I don't think about upgrading because my TV is off all the time. I watch it on a tablet or on my phone. I use a Raspberry with a TV hat to stream free to air TV on my home network and apps for the IP based content. My TV is the backup device.

About the subject of this thread, too many paid streaming services are maybe too inconvenient. If they are, the market will fix that. That is: some of them won't make enough money and close, or sell to a competitor, or just create content and license it to streaming services.

My preference would be not to pay per month but per view. There are months when I don't watch any series and months when there is something I like. About movies, maybe no movie at all for a year or two, then a few of interesting ones, including old ones that I never watched and I feel like to watch. The last one was Gilda, 1948.
Also it's not even better. I have a netflix and disney+ account, and sometimes still watch their series on pirate streaming sites because it's less of a hassle. E.g. I can't watch HD disney+ in firefox. And netflix sometimes just brings stubborn error messages that I can't fix by reloading...
Similar to this, among custom keyboard builders it's quite popular to have USB handled connected via TRRS headphone jacks between split keyboard halves [0] [1] and sometimes even the keyboard -> PC Connection being a custom TRRS -> USB cable or other exotic variations. [2]

In the sense that both are flying things loaded with explosives heading towards your ship, no there's no "fundamental" difference between them.

In practice, there's a world of difference. Drones are cheap and slow, but can be a big threat in a saturation attack style scenario. Do you want to spend a $1M+ missile to shoot down a $5000 drone?. Do you even have enough missiles to shoot down a swarm of 100 drones?

An anti-ship missile is much bigger and more expensive, but flies at around 300 m/s for a subsonic one, and up to 900 m/s for supersonic ones, giving much less time to shoot it down. And while the missile per se isn't armored, the warhead has a thick casing designed to penetrate deep into the ship before exploding, so hitting the missile with some shrapnel at short range isn't gonna help as the wreckage of the missile will still likely continue on a ballistic path and hit the ship. And the warhead is often big enough to cripple a warship with a single hit (well, maybe a carrier is big enough to keep on trucking).
The culinary restrictions are getting out of hand. We are living in a generation of extreme picky eaters. Unfortunately, almost always women. On a pizza party I hosted lately - one didn't eat meat, the other mushrooms, third hated peppers, fourth onions, fifth - even mildly spiced stuff. The guys attitude was - if it can't jump out of the plate and eat me - I will eat it.

Surprisingly those things suddenly start to diminish the moment they start to approach 30.

I have always harbored the suspicion that since you can't get anyone shocked with getting drunk and doing stupid stuff nowadays it is mostly done for attention seeking.
It makes the source think there is a display connected by responding with an EDID block. It may also handle the HDCP negotiation but I'm not sure about that. Technically an unlicensed device isn't supposed to be able to implement HDCP so while the Chinese manufacturers are totally willing to skirt around that, they also don't go advertising it.
Wish they included alternatives like nanoid.

The original comment was complaining that sales taxes aren't hidden. I'm a centrist but the OP was so delusionally pro-taxes I had to say something.
> If the quoted TCO of owning a car at $12,000/year is accurate

While you can certainly spend as much as you like (sky is the limit here), there is no need to spend such amount if you don't want to.

My TCO for my primary driver in 2023 was $2419 when accounting for every expense.

Suburbs spread to deal with unique historical circumstances present right after WWII in the US. The flaw was in thinking those conditions would last indefinitely into the future. In short, the typical American suburb is a maladaptation.

A pirate group that was known for releasing movies in small files, but with a decent quality.
Is being distracted by your thoughts so terrible that the rest of the movie should be expunged?

I'm more of the opinion that 5 minutes of graphics that were probably impressive at the time could be cut.
As I understand, in Las Vegas, as long as you do not use a device to aid with card counting (mind/mental only), it is legal. Is that still true?
Yeah, we took a bet that writing our compiler, simulator, etc. in Rust and architecting correctly so it could compile to native and WASM would let us run native and in the browser too, and we’re pretty thrilled with how it turned out.

We just shipped 1.0, but this slightly older blog post goes into the architecture a bit more: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/qsharp/introducing-the-azure-...
It’s also kind of meaningless at regular tv viewing distances. I have a 4k tv but from my couch there’s no way I can tell 4k apart from 1080. And honestly, 480 movies (dvd resolution) still look fine to me too. They have a certain aesthetic softness to them that I quite enjoy. 30 seconds into a 480 film I stop noticing the resolution at all.
The GP was trying to play back Amazon DRM content via AirPlay, so HDMI/HDCP should only be relevant to the "last-mile" connection between the AirPlay receiver and an external display (so, if the receiver is a Mac laptop's internal display or a smart TV, not at all).

AFAIK, DRM video playback over AirPlay only works from within iOS apps that explicitly support AirPlay[1], not via generic iOS/macOS screen mirroring.

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve heard. It’s nice and hot in Vegas in August. Alaska? At best it’s fucking 50F, that’s deeply uncomfortable. Walking around in that feels like I’m dying inside. Also, it’s a goddamn convention not a business meeting. People want to drink, watch some shows, gamble a little bit, walk around on the strip. Have a good time in general. What the fuck are you gonna do in Alaska?
Really good story
I grew up with analog TV where the colours used to bend and you had to kick the antenna with a stick after the wind moved it a bit. If I can tell the characters apart and the audio is synchronised, I don't need any better quality!
Buying a 3D printer in 2024: Why I chose BambuLab
Hey folks,

Sharing my research and thought process on buying a 3D printer. Hope it helps you if you're making a similar buying decision.
You could take a look at the Rockbox supported device list[1]. Depending on the size requirements and the budget you could go for a Sansa Clip+.

I personally prefer the iPod Nano 7th gen, which is great in terms of usability, has bluetooth 4.0 and is also very small size. Repair is a nightmare though and finding an affordable but still working device is not that easy.

If smallest size is not a requirement, you could go for the HiBy M300 - a pretty new Android 13 device supporting most Apps, 2TB of microSD Storage, having control buttons and also cable headphone remote support (OMTP, not CTIA), but still not that big.

Maybe a modified Apple iPod Classic 2009 with an iFlash Quad and 2000mah battery also fits your needs. It's way bigger than a shuffle, but it's at least maintainable (battery and storage replacement).

It'll be naturally fixed by economics. We'll reach an equilibrium point where offering an exclusive streaming service becomes less profitable than simply licensing your content to another service or services. Obstinance will probably drag out the timeline, but it won't change the outcome.

People are interested fundamentally in other people. That is why we read, listen, watch the Internet. It connects us to a mesh of person-hubs where you can find out more about or vibe with the people and ideas that you are attracted to. Maybe you could contribute something.

If the trend continues with LLM-related bullshitting technologies I will stop being interested in the Internet. I will stop coming. Many of us will.

Generated music is as far removed from jamming with friends as kissing a girl you like is removed from gang raping her with five of your teenage comrades over Twitch. Is that a good analogy? I think it is.
Often they’re afraid they’re being recorded. So the conversation should be more like asking for unrelated advice and then making some type of friendship, maybe asking for their contact if you needed any more clarification, etc. Also, they might have a trust network, like you get to them through their friends. So you should ask your friends if they know someone working in this department etc, and get an intro. That way they feel safer. You don’t have to pay them monthly, but yeah, do occasionally compensate them for no reason.

Regarding money, you should start with cash. Have an amount you think is fair on your pocket. Tell them this is what you have and thank for their help. If they don’t look happy or they reject/ask for more, tell them it though, but that you need check if you have more in your car. If the difference is a lot, say you need to ask friend for help. Go back to your car, pretend to talk to someone and come back with more. If they really want a lot more, ask for they’re bank account and tell them you’ll need to transfer (throughout make sure to show them that they asking for a lot and this is very hard for you, you have kids, need to eat, get a cab, pay a loan, etc). Also if you tell them you’ll transfer from a different bank than theirs, they might settle on the cash because interbank transfers are not same day.

All this varies by country and what methods of payment are available.
You aren't wrong. Those of us with work to do will be significantly better off when fashion moves on to some other type of vehicle.
The exact same product features with savvier marketing makes the Apple users appear more suave: it's still a Bluetooth headset or a camera strapped on someone's face, just with Apple branding.
If the universe is Einsteinian, I don't think "colonizing" the stars is a thing that makes sense. We might do it once because we are sentimental like that but maybe that's owed to unique psychology owed to unique circumstances on earth.

I don't see how you could rationally justify spending this stupefying amount of resources on sending people into the void where, even if all goes well, you can barely talk to them, have no trade and no social contact with them at all.`

Basically you are paying to split off a one-way branch of the species. Just consider that if we could colonize Alpha Centauri that means that each message has a 8 year or 1/10 of a human life span roundtrip. What would you even talk about with that kind of latency?
This is a common issue across Europe. 40 million+ internal migrants (from one EU country to another), yet most shows on Netflix only have the local language for subtitles and often no option to avoid dubbing.

It's worse than when we bought everything on DVD. Region 2 discs (Europe) would have many soundtracks and many subtitles languages on the disc.
Got a Klein hat a while back, got a nice picture of Cliff mailing it out along with. If you get one, make sure to hang dry.
I've been doing the same thing with my wife for a few years now.

The only unexpected bit is that you two need to be together when replacing the phone (such as erasing it, transferring contents, or similar).

Technological problems are environmental problems.

The US army officially considers cyberspace to be a dimension https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifth_Dimension_Operations

If a factory is polluting the air, the water, if you can't sleep because it makes loud noises at night, you don't tell people they should get air masks, or water filters, or take melatonin, or to just move somewhere else.

If you live in an area that a corporation is about to deforest, you don't just tell individuals to just plant a tree.

If you live in an area where traffic lights don't work, the streets are full of pot holes, you don't tell people to just drive better and get a jeep, or to just walk places.

The internet is a shared space, and you have to consider who you're siding with and why. You initially said this "triggers your learn self discipline" response. Did you stop and ponder why you have that trigger and why you feel so strongly about shifting the onus from powerful corporations towards individuals?
But he is saying it’s closer to a snake though...?
Wonderful project, congratulations! I love the speed, clean design, many options, multilingual results, overall very impressive!!

Some quibbles/points to consider:
* I can't find anything on the people/organisation behind, and can onl guess from the Terms that the team is based in DK.
* Search results are broad and interesting, maybe a bit more weighting for the joint occurrence of terms would be great.
* Developing a site weight over time might be interesting, maybe even with user votes. Currently minor and major sites appear all together and e.g. a search for "Donald" gives me an interesting ranking order that gives neither the most famous Donald's nor the most reliable sites firet (not problematic per se - my fault for entering an unclear search term)
* There are some interesting result patterns, with often official sites quite low. For instance search for "EU" with some term like subsidy (in any of the languages I speak) gives me random project websites but nothing from any of the official EU websites, or "Microsoft 365" (sorry...) gives me no MS website.
* Very minor but hopefully a very easy fix: at least on Firefox mobile there is no direct way to add the search to my search engines, I had to add it manually. For other engines I can long press.on the search field and then get the option.

Great work, keep it up! I will certainly start using this :-)

> But but all the people on the interwebs told me that ipv6 is ugly and stupid and it's never going to happen!

And that article proves them right.
If you think addiction is about chemical dependence you need to deepen and broaden your knowledge on the subject.
I’m curious how this wasn’t caught in testing. When you set up a dual-stacked listener which is common when you omit the binding IP, you already get IPv4-mapped IPv6 address, and the request logs would have also shown the ::ffff:x.x.x.x addresses. Also curious as to why they are working with text representations of IP addresses instead of binary representations, although the incident GitHub described here could be very well a firewall deciding that IPv6 datagrams were invalid traffic.

However, to make this thread complete, I guess someone will again complain about the address format, without realizing that shoving in extra address bits on an IPv4 datagram is already a new protocol, the networking equivalent of Godwin’s law[1].

The problem with Netflix is that many studios saw how profitable Netflix is and wanted their share, so they stopped licencing content to Netflix and opened their own services.

That's $0.30 worth of hardware to deal with though. Of course in mass market products such amounts really matter but I feel that the convenience and reliability factor as well as consumer centric thinking should allow for that kind of expense.

I wouldn't want to be involved in a company that isn't turning a profit.

But, in fairness, this is an industry that is adjacent to Hollywood. It is conceivable that they have some sort of weird profit-laundering scheme going to make sure not too much of the money goes back to the artists or something.
Interesting, that sounds like a neat idea, pity that it didn't see more distribution.
well, i'm aware of that actually. still don't get it. you look at it, realize this thing exists and that's it afaiac

There are usages outside of the browser too. We are using wasm as a runtime for applications and modules deployed in small IoT device. Wasm helps overcome the typical limitations of those devices giving platform independence, sandboxed environments, ability to verify and sign modules ahead of deployment, allows developers to program in dominant languages and compile to wasm, and still retain a low footprint which is critical in this context.

If you don’t mind me asking what do you use TTS?
I appreciate your responses. It seems to me that your uses are to a much larger degree interpretative and also somewhat creative.

LLMs are great here. My concerns are mostly that its ability for factual accuracy is confused with its own expressed confidence. Assessment of one's owns abilities is usually optimistic in humans. LLMs just model that language. Facts are baked in as linguistic patterns, rather than a knowledge machine. And, you can often invert its answer to a scary degree.

There was recently an article on Forbes, where the journalistic "source" was the output of Bard.

The most terrifying part about LLMs to me, is not that it's sometimes wrong. But that it's often enough right and excels at certain stuff, that we use it as a source of knowledge. It really isn't.

On the other hand, the creative part, or dialogues regarding creative processes. It's mind bogglingly amazing.
It's type of licensing called FRAND. Has been utilized with success.

I'll be that guy. Glad to know I'm not the only one who just wants ipv4 with extra octets.

Edit: An aside, these addresses are different in both text or binary representation, but the article doesn't provide many details, so I can't entirely follow.
