Pigeons are amazing.

THey may have a very large hippocampus, like that of a Hummingbird (my favorite bird) - which have a huge hippocampus and this is how they recall so many food resources.

Both birds can fly thousands of miles (some hummingbirds migrate from washington state to mexico)

But, Yeah this is for selective breeding of the best r/birdsarentreal stock

Pigeons are incredible critters.

* pigeon droppings were important in making gun powder, and at one point in the UK ALL pigeon droppings were property of the Crown for this reason

* pigeons can fly incredibly high and fast

They have exceptional biological compass

Self-Recognition and Social Intelligence:

Pigeons can recognize themselves in mirrors, a rare quality among birds.

They can also differentiate between humans in photos.

Their self-cognitive ability rivals that of 3-year-old children.

-

Impressive Flight Speeds:

Pigeons are not the fastest birds, but they can reach speeds of up to 92.7 miles per hour during flight.

Their sustained velocity is around 60 mph.

Pigeon racing showcases their remarkable flying abilities.

-

Cleanliness and Spiritual Significance:

Pigeons are clean and do not spread diseases significantly.

In various religions (such as Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu), pigeons are considered spiritual and cared for.

-

Social Creatures:

Pigeons prefer living in groups of 20 to 30 birds.
They are social and tolerate human interaction better than many other bird species.

Navigation Abilities:

Pigeons use a combination of cues:

Visual Landmarks: They recognize familiar landmarks along known
routes.

Magnetoreception: They sense Earth’s magnetic field for orientation.
Olfactory Navigation: Their sense of smell helps them find their way home.

Sun Compass: They use the sun’s position as a compass.
Homing Pigeons and Their Inner Ear:

Scientists have explored iron-rich material in pigeons’ inner ears.
However, this material is unlikely to be their primary magnetic sensor.

Pigeons likely rely more on olfactory cues for navigation.
Memory and Recall:

Pigeons can recall locations even when transported far away.

Their impressive navigational instinct allows them to find their way home.
Child of the 80s here. I won a couple of those back when. I got one published by Nibble magazine (Apple ][+ assembly) and one in BASIC got me a free disk at Beagle Bros. I loved 6502 assembly language.

A base install isn't too hard, correct. The main downside there is that a full LaTeX distribution is gigabytes in size, but that's manageable. Just takes time. Leaving out docs or using a distribution with on-the-fly package installation can solve this.

Trouble arises when you're looking to use latexmk (requires Perl), bib2gls (requires a Java runtime), minted (requires Python), latexindent (requires specific Perl libraries), including SVG (requires InkScape, and I believe ImageMagick), ...

Any notion of a powerful, sane, batteries-included development environment (think Rust and Go) requires jumping through insane hoops, resulting in bespoke setups, always on the brink of breakage. I really don't want to manage Python venvs!

The LaTeX crowd is very old school and tooling isn't natively available or built with containerization in mind. I've grown to like single-binary approaches (Caddy, typst, ...). I find vanilla LaTeX documents (the type that will compile in 20 years to come) very weak. UTF-8 still isn't standard in "vanilla LaTeX" (pdflatex)!

Google and its services are mostly blocked in China, so using the Play Store would require the use of a VPN or a foreign SIM card. There are a variety of local app stores. I've found that people often just use whatever came on their phone (which is often the phone manufacturer's own app store).
The government isn't dictating which books are allowed to be published, it's arguing (amongst other things) that self publishing books should be possible, which it is.

Being a successful smartphone manufacturer (or a smartphone OS manufacturer), shouldn't give you a monopoly on software distribution, that's the entire point.

And even the Kindle, which doesn't have the market relevance of iOS, isn't as locked down as iOS: the Kindle does support reading ebooks from other sources, they just don't support DRM from other stores.

As per reports, Nigerian government officials invited Binance executives to discuss an ongoing dispute about the world’s largest crypto exchange allegedly driving down the value of their national currency.

Gambaryan and Anjarwalla arrived in Nigeria on February 25th; after their meeting with government officials, both were taken to their hotels. Later, they were instructed to pack their belongings and move to a guesthouse run by Nigeria’s National Security Agency, as stated by their families, per reports.

Why? WireGuard is a VPN, it's pretty normal for VPN solutions to expose themselves as a network interface.

> It really should have been a generic "filter" that you could attach to any type of file handle.

What's the use-case you had in mind here? I'm not sure how generifying it to a "filter" on any type of file descriptor looks for an interactive protocol like wireguard.

> It's always been a weird smelling underspecified IPSEC clone to me[...]

Just because there isn't an RFC? I've always found the wireguard paper[0] to be quite readable and thorough in it's specification of the protocol.

We can give them both infinite precision, you still can't build a lookup table of the mandelbrot set.

The mandelbrot set is essentially a map of the halting behavior of a specific program. You can't know whether or not the program will halt for a given input, and so cannot build the lookup table. Programs are stronger than input-output mappings.

AI's future lies in sharing and open-source principles. Developers have nothing to fear about loosing their job. Rather, they gain a free personal programming assistant (a good one actually) allow them concentrate on generating ideas, while the AI handles the technical tasks, ultimately freeing up their time.

You can improve your own programming assistant in any direction you want.

- Build your own framework/language with an AI assistant

- Use an AI tool to document it

- Fine tune your "OpenDevin"

- Let OpenDevin to learn it and write some code

- Create bunch of apps together, written in your own language or framework by your own "Devin".

I read it a few times but for me to pretend I understand why this person made three separate transactions to pay an $86 hosting bill speaks more to me of a lack of consistent revenue or source of funds.

Ocamm’s Razor doesn’t point me to malice. It’s just as easily a kid trading gift cards $20/time until he has the funds. This looks like an idea that starts small, and frankly when it was invented it wasn’t illegal at the moment of creation.

It’s the story laid out in the court case and the changing of regulations and laws that created the crime. Inception of an idea alone doesn’t lead me to believe the intent was malice; privacy, obfuscation, the lack of funds maybe.

Obfuscation can be as simple as protecting privacy.

As an example I can say the first day I stepped foot in a cryptocurrency community was on IRC about 13 years ago. I didn’t realize Freenode showed your hostmask by default and random people had IPwhois’d my netmask, asking about where I work, pulling up the address on street view…

I’ve exclusively used rented servers bouncers cloaks etc ever since. That’s the community I realized I was dealing with.

> and gateways with hundreds of thousands of peers that will never be used again

My thoughts exactly as I was reading the first paragraphs.

> Note that there’s no API call to subscribe for “incoming connection attempt” events. That’s OK! We can just make our own events. WireGuard connection requests are packets, and they’re easily identifiable, so we can efficiently snatch them with a BPF filter and a packet socket.

Nice idea.

> When we get an incoming initiation message, we have the 4-tuple address of the desired connection, including the ephemeral source port flyctl is using. We can install the peer as if we’re the initiator, and flyctl is the responder

And this works behind NAT?

Oh but we do care. Not every app developer is a dealership, a car is used in a much broader context.

Some may be like Uber, turning the car into a taxi service, or like Turo, allowing it to be rented. Others may be independent mechanics that can work on the car perfectly fine without access to blessed tools.

There is no cost passed on to the customer because the car manufacturer does not enforce a percentage cut of Uber's or Turo's revenue.

That said, there is likely no perfect analogy in cars. We can instead turn to MacOs / Windows / Linux etc., general purpose computing platforms that do not suffer from a gatekeeper's stranglehold.
This seems more like an "I'm not a threat" signal for governments than a "you shouldn't learn the bad-bad words" nanny scolding to consumers. "Preventing misinformation" and "upholding democratic values" are just the ostensible reasons for this, the deeper reason is to avoid being regulated by angry congressmen. Perhaps they have deeper reasons as well, layer upon layer of bullshit.

Is it actually possible to beat Nethack without reading up some "spoilers" upfront? I've never heard of anybody who managed to do that.

Even when you read up all kinds of info about the game before you attempt a run it's extremely hard to reach higher levels, yet beat the game. (I myself never reached any later levels despite I know some tricks by now. Tricks impossible to infer from just playing the game; you need to read them up…)

Imho there is no winning strategy for Nethack. It's some random stuff "you need to know" to progress even a little bit paired with complete rule of the dice while encountering maximally nonsensical "puzzles".

But OK, maybe I'm just too dumb for this game and don't see the "logic" behind the things the game presents.

Not the OP, but the main problem with WireGuard[0] is not the protocol[1], it's good, but the opinionated tooling around it, be it .INI style configurations (god I hate it), mutual incompatibility of wg and wg-quick or just outright stupid decisions around storing config files and interacting with the user in the Windows client.

Though there are some nuances with the routing selection/filtering too, which gets troublesome when you just need a pipe and run a proper routing protocols over it. ::/0 solves most of it but still there are some rough edges.

[1] One of the amusing things I discovered what I have a full 10MB/s+ to the SMB server in the DC over the WireGuard tunnel (and that's because it's 100Mbit/s uplink), while the Synology which sits on the same router on a 1Gbit port only makes 3-5MB/s.

> That doesn't make it automatically right, just, or even legal. Does it hold up against the European Convention on Human Rights, EU directives, regulations and the country constitution? What does the constitutional court, EU court of justice and EU court of human rights think?

It should, it's the job of the first chamber (aka the 'senate') to validate this. Unfortunately they have been playing politics more than anything.

> I'm not Dutch but in my own (EU) country it's a very common occurrence that the higher courts significantly modify or entirely cancel a fully approved law - often retroactively.

This sounds more like the common law system (US, UK, Ireland). In Holland it's not like that. The senate is supposed to check that an in fact a local judge can't directly reference the constitution. In common law they can and they create precedents to scope out a law further after implementation.

The EU does overrule it of course. And yes perhaps they can get fined damages. That would be good IMO because it will stop them doing it. But they didn't do anything wrong technically in that sense.

The worst thing they did technically was that this law was inplemented by a cabinet that had already stepped down after the coalition fell apart. New votes were held and a new parliament was formed, but the old cabinet is still in place until a coalition is formed to create the new cabinet.

The biggest problem there was that 24% of people voted for the extreme-right fascist party and nobody except the neoliberals (the party they split out from) and the farmers want to form a government with them. So it will take a lot of time. But the old (neoliberal) cabinet is not supposed to push through any legislation that can be considered controversial. They are doing that all the time though.
Taleb's works and often posts cover exactly this.

The surge in Ethereum put options demand suggests concern among traders about a potential drop in ETH price.
ETH is strongly trading above the $4,000 resistance.
While Ethereum’s highly anticipated Dencun update looms, ETH’s options market is sending mixed signals, raising concerns among traders.

According to market analysts at QCP Capital, ETH’s risk reversals have turned negative for near-term expiries, indicating a surge in demand for put options. This shift suggests a growing grasp of a potential downturn in ETH prices, with speculators possibly hedging against risks in alternative cryptocurrencies. Despite this caution, QCP Capital believes any price dip will likely be met with aggressive buying activity.
