I've lived in Pine Bluff before (not that long ago) and almost everyone I worked with commuted from either Little Rock (a straight shot on the interstate for something like 45 minutes of drive time) or one of the nearby little rural towns. A lot of businesses have since left the town and will likely never come back. The crime is just too high and there aren't enough jobs in the area. Little Rock is pretty dangerous too in parts, but is safe for the vast majority of places.

I have no problem with Mocks, I have a problem with Mox. Mox is the kludge, not Mocks in general.
Ok, now I need a description of the setup.

Specifically:

- What hardware caters to 32x disks (24+8)? (I'm picturing enterprise gear)

- What software are you using to coordinate it? TrueNAS?
I don’t understand your comment. Do you ask me why do you need FOAF? I have no idea who would need it. This format without a protocol is useless.

Or do you mean, why would you need a protocol? I don’t know your use cases either, but many people have them, preferring to keep certain interactions and content from public eye. A simple website wouldn’t work. Access management and context-specific permissions are needed. A way to request them too.

This topic is more like tomato paste as an alternative for curry chicken with jasmine rice. You can eat it, but the real meal has many more ingredients.

This comment avoids responding to the actual point about electronics, which is that deflation is alleged to cause certain effects, and when we observe deflation, we don't actually observe those effects, so why is that?

But there is something special about both of those temperatures because they matter greatly to humans. This graphs should be designed to make referencing agains those values easy, where that is going to be useful.
I'm concerned with suggesting that it's enough to fight one group of adversaries, which will then be replaced with another group, and another, instead of actually fixing the underlying issue. Suggesting threat of life to those people (which is a very real thing for russians now) is no better than what happens when a ransomware gang locks down a hospital. That would be fighting fire with fire.
Unique features are the least interesting thing in this context. RSS/vCard doesn’t offer the basics that every social platform has.

>Dignity -- this is what's forgotten in these designs.

I've flown a 15 hour flight at least a dozen times in economy.

Trust me when I say there is no dignity after 14 hours of trying to get a little sleep with your mouth wide open, snoring loudly, drool coming out and your head lolling onto the person next to you.

When I think of that 15 hour flight the very last word in my mind is dignity.
The "loudness" button on old equipment is actually a combined bass and treble boost, designed to the make the music sound louder at low listening levels by compensating for the effects of the equal loudness contour. It's a great idea for anybody who cares about protecting their hearing. You can do even better using modern DSP by equalizing to a curve based on the difference between the equal loudness contour at your preferred listening level and the equal loudness contour several decibels louder.
Performance improvements are just an example.

In any case - looks like we’ve found a category of UX changes that you enjoy: something that forces you to adapt your workflow, just in a way that makes it better for you.
I don't see a societal benefit in people borrowing video games and watching DVDs that aren't educational. At least non educational books might expect the reader to expand their minds, and to a lesser extent movies.

But the majority of video games and movies being produced are empty wastes of time. It seems to me loaning those items is just an attempt to stay relevant lest libraries become vacant and useless. What other value is there in loaning out PlayStation games?
I'm not saying I think it's a good idea on balance (the onerous big brother software). I just thought I'd point out that there might be potential hidden upsides in addition to the obvious downsides.
That’s not quite correct.

Private data especially in the enterprise cannot use public LLM’s like GPT-4 or 5 or N. Use cases needing data privacy have to use an internally implemented LLM application. In Currently, RAG is a concrete and pragmatic enterprise use of LLM’s aside from summarization, which is not amenable to using GPT-4.

GPT-5 may very well be amazing. But unless it runs on-prem it can’t be used in many scenarios because of data privacy.

To the OP - learning how to run LLM’s locally via say Ollama (see ollama.ai) will get you started in a hands on manner. See the /r/LocaLlama subreddit for a very active community around running LLM’s locally.
If I had to point a finger at something I'd say it's probably how they bundle everything, market everything, have cultured decades of cult-like loyalty in business IT employees, and so on.

That is, aside from the bundling I'm not sure MS has done anything particularly illegal or immoral? Just incredibly good business sense.

And I say that as someone with a stubborn disdain for microsoft lol.

Yes, the first re-compressed CD segment sounds so much worse than the iTunes version that I'm not sure what to think. Two possibilities: (1) The album was remastered for a subsequent CD reissue. (2) I'm hearing the benefits of the "Apple Digital Masters"¹ process.

That all makes a lot of sense, and yes your assumption is correct regarding my username. I’m glad to have corrected this behavior of mine before it got too late.
The article explicitly addresses this.

I sympathize with your point of view and kinda share it, and enjoy cash myself very much, but I'm afraid "fairness" doesn't really exist, therefore it's a bit pointless to call for it. The rules of "the game" are such and such, either you play by rules, or try to get more money to switch to more comfortable rules.

What I don't understand though is why are "they" doing it, tightening things up for laypeople. It's not like most people in Europe are rampant criminals and money launderers, or even rich. Real criminals use different multiple schemes too. Why does government there want more control, exactly? What they don't see yet, but want to see that bad? I don't get what's the point, but maybe I'm just not very bright.
Needs more pitch for the archer towers.

Maybe some war dogs.
Beyond cost, what is stopping somebody from going off grid, and relying entirely on their own solar + battery system? Is there some law that makes this illegal? If not, it seems like this would cause a lot of upper income folks to just disconnect from the grid.

I've never had such unreliable power as I had when I lived in Mountain View (and I've lived in Buffalo, NY and in the hurricane alley in North Carolina). PG&E is a disaster.
Pretty much, yeah. It contains all the info necessary to tell Docker how to build/deploy the container, and how to configure the editor to work in it. The goal is turnkey setup of the software, its environment, and the user's IDE so that developers don't have to waste days doing that by hand.
Some calibration is needed here.

“Authoritarianism is a _political_ system characterized by the rejection of democracy and political plurality.” - Wikipedia

When a company _sells_ you a device (that you choose to buy or not), it is _not_ about political freedom.

There are countries that are actually authoritarian. Let’s not blur the lines between that and a corporation. I can appreciate the free software movement as well as the right to repair and so on, but let’s keep things in perspective here. There are governments that jail people for dissent.
On the flip side, that resulted in great shows coming out like Too Old to Die Young, which would have never otherwise come out.

The net result of what you’re asking for is crap reality tv and a million more generic superhero movies.
I don't see why this would be flagged, other than offending someone's political sensitivities.

Recently I've seen more and more things adopt the C-k shortcut to mean "pop up a fuzzy search box". Slack and other tools do this, and it's wonderful. It allows me to avoid using someone else's idea of what a "good UI" might be and just find the thing I want.
You are one of the bravest. And you know that, using SQLite as the base storage, rules out many of the security problems we can face.

Anyone needing to reimplement Pack, can do it, very easily, if not easier than implementing ZIP, IF they use SQLite and Zstandard. Maybe a day of work or less. If they want to rewrite (reading part of) them too, it will be a couple of days of work.
There are other definitions of a text file than the opengroup spec, particularly for specific OS platforms. I’m not sure what convention JSON follows.

As a spec it’s fine. It defines a text file in such a way that you can easily write code to process such a file deterministicaly.
there was a public talk by a (well-paid, sixty'ish) Longshoreman in California today, where the Longshoreman was injured by an electrical shock. The assigned Doctor said "I have made a thorough study of your xrays and I see no problems" .. yet that man had fused-vertebrae from a motorcycle accident previous to employment. The Doctor made no mention of the fused vertebrae until the Longshoreman brought it up. The direct implication is that the Doctor was told that it was a soft-tissue injury privately, and proceeded to begin the path to deny benefits.

A problem in these situations is that all sides cheat, in reality. And once the finger pointing starts, the communication is damaged, and real problems are put into buckets along with "malingering"
There is no such thing as a "private" network that is magically more secure than the internet, and if you don't trust it on the internet, you shouldn't trust it on your private network. If you have anything of value, there are going to be bad actors poking around in your private network eventually.
I think this points to bigger issues with the AI field generally with respect to adoption and development. The output of these systems is fundamentally unverifiable. Building a system to verify these answers would be orders of magnitude more expensive and maybe computationally impossible. It looks really impressive because it's 95% of the way there, but 5% error rate is atrocious, in was expensive to get this far, and improving it much more will be more and more expensive. What we've essentially built is a search engine that is 5 times more expensive to operate and that alienates the content from its context, which makes it less valuable.

Maybe it's good enough for programming since you can immediately verify the output but I suspect we're pretty far away from the breakthroughs ai boosters insist we are mere months away from. We've had some form of self driving for a while now and the other company that seems close is waymo, and that seems to have taken over a decade of huge research and capital expenditures.
i find the person who wrote this to be a complete ass-hole. talking about ill-advised redditors, he gives one example of a man who decided to build his own house. but the link to that guys story is a weird twitter thread that just shows a guy building a house. as someone who knows how to build a house, i knew how much work and hard-earned lessons went into each of those progress pictures. and the guy builds the house better than most contractors would. besides the plumbing snafu. the doors and windows were not placed in a way that is pleasing to the eye but overall it was a great accomplishment. how is that ill-advised? its not, its awesome. i hate people that take a shit on those who actually make change in the world and take risks. all from their safe little cubicle or basement. people who are so ignorant and dumb that all the information that is packed into those pictures flies right over their heads.

as a person in real estate, looking through pontifiers twitter feed is like looking back at my own life. most people know that there is a homeless problem. but what many people dont realize is that basically everywhere in the united states there are people who wander around at night looking for stuff to steal. they poke around everywhere but actually do not physically break in most of the time. people in liberal areas are familiar with window breaking and break and enter but everywhere else there is just this omnipresence of vagrants who commit smaller crimes. they are just really annoying and make the neighborhood seem more trashy than it really is. these people are all fit and ready to work. the cops wont arrest them. nobody really bothers them. i think the reason they exist is because people are shittier now and dont feel any urge to fix the societal problems that they see around them. there are videos on pontifiers twitter where he confronts them and they are totally without shame. they arent afraid of being caught. i think something similar happened in the 80s and people got super fed up and then NY started stop and frisk and other things. we need another one of those.

as for the actual purchase of the warehouse and other properties, the risk isnt so bad when you take into account the relatively small amounts of money that are actually on the table here. as far as i know, hes making these purchases in cash. i would say that theres a good chance he will pull through and be able to use what hes learned to start making a real difference in this community and others. by far the most concerning part of this story is the city not cooperating. biggest road block by far.
Brush and floss religiously, folks. Tooth bacteria can migrate and be implicated in all sorts of shit: heart disease, colon cancer, dementia.
I think you’re missing my point. RAG is something that you currently implement yourself, or pay someone else who already implemented it. With GPT5 (or GPT6 at the latest), you just give it the same access you would give to a RAG system, and describe what you want it to do. It will do the rest.

Edit: I’m assuming the scenario where you do want to use the best model.
Plex can definitely grab metadata from a number of sources, yes.
Meh. Crypto is still a waste of resources that had no reason to exist. The modern art market hasn't crashed yet either, and homoeopathy is booming, too last I checked. Just because it's stupid and useless doesn't mean you can't sell it. (And if you underestimate the possibility of selling useless things, you end up incorrectly predicting the demise of the market a lot.)

Not wanting to be part of that is just having some morals. Grabbing money where you can isn't a sign of a successful life.
Health becomes more important than money then. Post-scarcity and singularity won't cure diabetes or make people less sedentary.
Having deployed a few of these over the last month or so, I feel like the devcontainer spec is very annoying. The alternative is what Coder does -- write some arbitrary terraform to bring up or down a workspace. I think this is better because I tend to need other things to go in a workspace (like an IAM role to access dev databases, associated Kubernetes resources, etc). With terraform I can configure whatever infrastructure I want to go along with workspaces.

The main downside I can see is that users have to write their workspaces for a particular deployment target. This would be a problem for e.x. open source projects trying to check in a workspace definition file of some kind. We standardize on Kubernetes across clouds and bare metal so it's not an issue for us, but it makes sense that it would be an issue for other use cases.

Could you please unpack this? I don't understand. I certainly didn't intend to say anything like that, in fact actually almost exactly the opposite. My claim is that improving page load times has no bearing one way or the other on my workflow. It doesn't make me learn anything new, it just makes the things I already do quicker.
This is prison, not school. If you can’t teach kids to be responsible in school, you’re failing as a school, and becoming a prison is not the answer.
> the power of Excel is in the connectors, services, and interoperability that surround it.

Hell, Excel still has the absolute best text/csv import of any spreadsheet I’ve used.

Fixed versus delimited columns. Arbitrary delimiters. And best of all, split existing column on delimiter to create multiple columns.

None of these are that fancy of functions. And there’s no reason why every other spreadsheet couldn’t implement them. But they don’t.

Maybe because it’s not sexy. Maybe because of bias against spreadsheets. I don’t know. I just wish Excel competitors would add them.
For my mother's 80th birthday I put a little computer in an old rotary phone.

I purchased a mobile phone number for a month with voicemail and set the voicemail to email me the messages.

I asked all her friends and family to call the number and leave a message saying something meaningful to mum and wishing her happy birthday.

I uploaded all the messages to an sd card and put the little computer in the phone and wired it up to the rotary dialer and wrote some python code which listened to the rotary dialer and played an mp3 on specific numbers.

Dialling a number played back a message from a friend/family member.

I later did the same thing for another family member but this time in an old radio and you could tune to different messages.

I got the idea from Caroline Buttet who has some really creative and interesting things on her channel, such as a peephole that shows random open security cameras and a world globe that plays local radio stations when you touch a country.

> most sensitive data I'm privy to on a job (api keys, their users' personal data), my employer could or should already have access to all of that

It’s about storage though.

It’s one thing if your employer can access the data from an encrypted database with carefully managed access - and another to also keep it in a random screenshot in a third party time tracking tool.

There are also regulations and requirements, for example about deletion of personal data.

ntex was formed after a schism in actix-web (https://actix.rs) and Rust safety/unsafety, with ntex allowing more unsafe code for better performance.

You sure are presumptuous. I don't think 0% is ideal. But for most of my life the US government has had an incentive to say inflation is lower than it is. And their methodology reflects their bias.

You really think it's a coincidence when inflation is peaking they change the formula and it just happens to be lower?
