RF devices are already ubiquitous, the technology and applications keep growing, and there's emerging opportunities for innovative applications.

FWIW, I "funded" the Kickstarter for Flipper Zero because my startup was doing something a little innovative with various kinds of RF tags, to help solve a significant societal problem. (Which, besides what we could've contributed to a country in monetary value of our company, the application domain had significant implications for national economies, as well as for public safety. All things that lawmakers care about, in addition to reducing auto thefts.) We had Android diagnostic software, plus bespoke iOS apps with NFC that I wrote, but a Flipper Zero would've helped me work better and faster at some things.
Oh the irony of a text blog bemoaning complexity that won't load without javascript.
Endorse 100%.

The lack of discussion about LiveView tradeoffs is one of the few things I actively dislike about the Elixir community: and I love elixir and reach for it for almost everything.
Sorry, I didn't mean built from scratch and scaled it all the way to unicorn. Rather worked on a unicorn scale app in some capacity. Even if you join a late stage startup and didn't build the foundation, the experience you get from how the org runs is pretty valuable.

Much easier to find a engineer who engaged with a large Python SaaS app than an Elixir engineer.
Though I agree bard isn't the best name, gemini is a worse name.

Bard has connotations, but by it's self it makes one think of a person that talks well.

WTF is gemini? It is a twin, but this is a singular product. Beyond that it's just generic. It doesn't tell you what it does at all.
Oops, my bad.

I'm using the F-Droid version, which is slightly behind, but has all (I think) features
Great, that's just what we need. Can we criminalize all x86-64 computers after this? Surely one can run an SDR on linux using such a nefarious device?
> Imagine if Firefox included perfect ad blocking + antitracking (ex: reporting a standard canvas size, having multi account container on) out of the box. Add an AI API so that users who have very basic questions wouldn't need to interact with a search engine. I don't think it would fare well with google.

We all know that this "privacy focus" is just bullshit and will end up with nothing anyway.
Yo ho ho and a raided nas.
Yes, but he didn't negotiate $0 in a vacuum, I assume he was factoring in the performance-based stock compensation too, in agreeing to take $0, no?

He agreed to forgo one type of compensation in favor of another type, that was later yanked away from him under the reasoning that his compensation package was deemed retroactively excessive.

I imagine a scenario where I take a slightly lower base pay for a higher number of RSUs, that are only unlocked if I meet my performance goals. I then proceed to meet or exceed these performance goals, as the contractual agreement specified. And then the government, acting on behalf of a shareholder who used to hold 8 shares total, complains that my compensation package was retroactively excessive, even though he hadn't raised this concern earlier.

I'd feel unfairly cheated in that scenario, and I can't help but figure Elon probably feels the same way. I know he isn't going to starve to death or anything, but it seems bizarre and worrying to me that it's just perfectly fine to invalidate what was a perfectly fine and legal contract 5 years after it was signed because a minor stakeholder of one party to the contract didn't like the terms.

Does this undermine the trustworthiness and stability of executive compensation contracts, or really any compensation contract, broadly in the US? Do I ever need to be worried about getting rug-pulled the way Elon was?

I fear this precedent may be abused against "the little guy" / the working class in the future.

The constitution holds power because the judiciary is independent from the executive and congress. This friendly adversarial tension creates belief in the constitution (similar to social belief in currency) which makes it harder to dislodge. That goes out the window in a dictatorship. It becomes more about the self interest of one person, and if the piece of paper is against that then they'll throw it out.
What is the basis of your experience of philosophers? I know lots of philosophers who are well-versed and interested in, i.a., physics, mathematics, cognitive science, linguistics, biology, neuroscience, psychology, and history. Some of them even make contributions to those fields primarily of interest as works within the relevant field rather than of philosophical interest. This is considered a good thing in modern analytic philosophy. Armchair theorising is considered an important tool, but exclusive use thereof is considered unsound and unwise. I cannot speak for philosophy in general but the sort of milieu to which I've been exposed is not particularly small.
To add to your pros and cons:

Pro: feels like it has a lot more stylistic flourish and expressiveness than chat GPT. At least in my testing so far.

Con: maybe I'm unreasonably sensitive to design, but I find chat GPT to be very to the point in a way that makes it almost perfect as a product that puts text for an and center. By contrast I find Bard / Gemini ultra to be cluttered, and too material designy in ways that are unhelpful.
I agree that they shouldn't be allowed to say that they're selling you a good or that you're buying it when what you're actually paying for is a revocable license to use/access it at their discretion. But it's not quite as clear when the purchase includes a physical good that is purchased and also a revocably licensed digital good. That's still (at least partially) a purchase. I think the more relevant issue here is the extent to which a company's assets can be separated from its contractual obligations during an acquisition.
Yeah, that was what I was alluding to as "aws glue"; for something like S3 object event notifications or IAM policy checks this kind of light weight runtime seems ideal.
Was this a house or a hotel?

Obviously my comment's a bit torque-in-cheek, but I've never heard of fossil fuel heating in Iceland in residential dwellings outside af Grímsey, an island 40km off the coast.

There's fireplaces, but not for heating entire building, unless it's a small summer home or a cottage.

I'm sure there's exceptions, but what I was pointing out is that geothermal heating is universal enough that the implications of the hot water being out don't need to be explained.
If anyone has a business impacted by this, I would absolutely love to talk to you. je@h4x.club - I'm quite sure I can help (not looking for $$, just think this is insane).

Can he? How can he know whether the new one will or will not be retroactively invalidated 5 years from now? Do all executives need to get permission from a sitting judge before signing a contract now to be sure it's not going to be retroactively invalidated in the future?

I felt lonely when I used to work in an office. For some reason I feel far less lonely working remotely.
Ah, the irony... in the 90's you had to get your RF scanner FROM Canada or it would have analog cellular frequencies blocked!
Yeah this has always been a bit of a pain. Since LXD recently launched a web interface that includes graphical console support (plus VM support some time before that, it's not just a container host anymore, it can do both), I have been using that for remote VMs now. But it still has quite a few rough edges, but nicer than libvirt at least.
This is what happens when you let your government run wild.

You can't carry a pocketknife in the UK, you can't carry a Flipper in Canada. Insane. I genuinely hope the US does not become even more of a farce of a democracy like these two.

There is more to philosophy than moral philosophy, and I don’t see why philosophical findings would be devalued by the moral failings of philosophers any more than cardiological findings would be devalued by the alleged unhealthiness of cardiologists.
Relevant part:

> Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED)
Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada will work with Canadian companies, and the automotive industry, to develop new solutions to protect vehicles against theft and to assist with recovery of stolen vehicles.

> ISED will pursue all avenues to ban devices used to steal vehicles by copying the wireless signals for remote keyless entry, such as the Flipper Zero, which would allow for the removal of those devices from the Canadian marketplace through collaboration with law enforcement agencies.

The actual solution would be to force auto makers to have better security that can't be cracked by script kiddies. Banning a tool like the F0 is like banning hairpins or paperclips because they can be used to pick locks. Their primary "purpose" isn't that at all. What would be okay is to ban the use of an F0 to steal a car. Not ownership of an F0, or a screwdriver.
Nope, the real benefit of Clear is that once you are past the id check, you waltz past most of the line for the scanner. I suppose that depends on the airport but that's how it works wherever I've been.

If your local airport is incredibly congested, Clear goes from a nice to have to a huge timesaver.

Is that really a problem though? How many times are you going to click on that news source before you just see the name and don’t bother?

Even among “free” news sources there are plenty I won’t give the time of day because I know they’re peddling nonsense and half-truths-at-best.

I'd argue that the archival happens the moment the DRM is stripped, the seeders are just helping out with the data replication part - but I get what you're saying.

As an aside, HDCP is broken in practice but frowned upon for archival, since it requires a re-encode, introducing generation loss.
Bard: fat inept old guy who gets by telling stories of yore

Nvidia Triton Inference Server with the TensorRT-LLM backend:

https://github.com/triton-inference-server/tensorrtllm_backe...

It’s used by Mistral, AWS, Cloudflare, and countless others.

vLLM, HF TGI, Rayserve, etc are certainly viable but Triton has many truly unique and very powerful features (not to mention performance).

100k DAU doesn’t mean much, you’d need to get a better understanding of the application, input tokens, generated output tokens, request rates, peaks, etc not to mention required time to first token, tokens per second, etc.

Anyway, the point is Triton is just about the only thing out there for use in this general range and up.

> A lot of the security features that get built into Windows rely on virtualization. In cases where Windows is already virtualized, additional support from the Hypervisor is needed to enable those features. KVM provides a lot of the needed support to improve Windows’ security in virtualized environments.

What specific features does KVM provide for this? I gather this isn't talking about nested virtualization.
Oh, I agree that Clear is worth using since you get to skip the id line. My point is that Clear isn't making the process any more efficient - they instead created a "skip the line" option under the guise of "technology".

Dramatiq: A fast and reliable distributed task processing library for Python
Yes I don't want to work for a startup and I stated as much didn't I? ;)

What it has to do with Elixir is that Elixir does not scale well with a number of programmers, and many startups go through periods of explosive growth of personnel. With Elixir that very rarely works well, 99% of the time IMO it does not. Adding more people does not increase productivity, it hurts it even.
But it's on a computer, so that would be hacking, which is much more serious.
What will this thing be called next quarter?

> sudo is certainly not the only player, there's also doas. This shows people can adapt to another name

The fact that doas has far fewer users, and examples everywhere show `sudo xyz` as the way to run xyz as root, shows that people do not adapt to a different name.

Microsoft has been trying, for years, to get developers to use Windows systems. This is another good step towards doing so.

The answer isn't to use a different name; the answer is to actually support most of the sudo interface.

But that said, there's a subset of the sudo interface that would cover the majority of what most people need on a regular basis:

-H (change home directory)

-i (act like a login shell, which may not be meaningful on Windows but could at least be ignored for compatibility)

-E (preserve the environment)

-u (set the user to something other than root)

-g (set the group)

-s (just run a shell)
Imagine the following: The FCC fines a company for using AI-generated voices in robocalls. That company appeals the fine. With Chevron intact, the court would need to defer to the FCC's interpretation of the TCPA and dismiss the appeal. With Chevron overturned, the court would be able to advocate for their own interpretation of the TCPA. A favorable judge could just claim textualism, and insist that the TCPA does not apply because it does not explicitly use the word AI. Then it is a slippery slope of forum shopping and companies moving their operations to districts with sympathetic judges.
I’ve heard that tableau and sales force are quite good at this

> They should have just taken their licks back then

The theory posited at the time is that this would have triggered collateralised debt obligations which would have resulted in a cascading spiral of CDO triggers which would have revealed that each dollar of commercial real estate had been used to generate 5000 dollars of 'securitized' debt, or some other ludicrous figure.

There's a pretty famous infographic somewhere which shows the ridiculous scale of the CDO problem.
Ultimately it is yet another optimization problem. You have fixed dev time, a budget and some deadlines. If possible, try rewriting a component and measure the effort and benefits. We had PoC with deep rooted data issues. We knew throwing it away would set us back by a year but it just kept getting uglier by the day. We added a thin data validation API around it which started catching a good chunk of the data issues and let us deploy the PoC. We're now rewriting a new core with built in data validation and tons of performance and reliability improvements.

So...by that logic, the theater aspect of TSA is completely invisible to the majority of voters, and they get no satisfaction of increasing safety. They might see a news item on TV once in a while, that's about it. Doesn't seem to me like we can blame voters for what the TSA does, at least not today's voters.

Voters after 9/11, on the other hand, were definitely security-minded, and the political response to that is how the TSA became the juggernaut that it is today.
> Russia annexed those regions when it became the best way to protect the people there, after the collapse of negotiations.

Okay, since you brought this up, I have to know now. How does annexation of that territory protect the inhabitants there, compared to a world where Russia merely occupies the territory?

For bonus points, please explain why that offsets the effect it has of lengthening the war (since it makes the Russian and Ukrainian positions more, not less, irreconcilable).
