There was this interesting talk [1] about how this ISP uses OpenBSD as BGP control plane.

I used to heard that OpenBSD was often used as Internet facing middlebox (like firewalls/proxy/network load balancer) because of how good pf and relayd are.

But it would surprise me if it would still be the case nowadays, OpenBSD seems to perform poorly [2] in terms of network throughput compared to the competition (VyOS/VPP). And I don't think this 7.5 upgrade helped a lot regarding this topic.

Right, but there's too many doors

Tanks can go through some of the doors, especially as long as you know there isn't a basement. So if you have a small segment of a population you need to go through doors on, sure.

But if it's enough of the population, then tanks don't work to enforce the laws.
I'd like to believe this is true but in my metropolitan area, it's quite common to see e.g. a covid recovery fee, inflation recovery fee, iniative 82 service fee, and autograt when you are checking out. It's extremely bad for price transparency but the practice seems very popular among merchants who are betting that customers will still show up as long as the menu prices appear low.
I liked checked exceptions, but higher-order functions break them. The method signature of stream.map(f) allows a generic type for f but it can't vary with f's exceptions. The choices usually boil down to "only throw unchecked exceptions" (like Runnable) or "throw any exception" (like Callable).
This is super cool. Had no idea UEFI APIs were so readily-available and well-documented. Awesome work! Out of curiosity, what was the dev cycle like? I assume you were running the thing in a VM. Did you have to "boot up" every time you wanted to run the client?
I didn't catch this until you called it out. While I reading I was anticipating an argument that would convince me that I need Kyoo. I'm not convinced that its setup once and forget it -- especially since it also says that its not afraid of adding more services (complexity). Further, the hard stance on cinema only instead of books, games, etc made me think that the project was rigid. Making me potentially add more services to manage all of my entertainment media.
The thing is, if anyone would have actually realized it (other than Jai) it would have been hopefully fixed. Like... no one would just see that and say "well, must have been a typo" and just leaves it.
My brother and I played the hell out of Jedi Knight while we were in high school, and even went on to work on some mods - Jedi Knight Pong was one of the memorable ones for its ridiculousness.

The modding community was quite active, and I believe there was actually a LucasArts employee who was helping the modders figure out how some of the formats and tools worked. There was a fairly sophisticated scripting language that powered a lot of the gameplay; I don't remember any of the specifics but I had a good time messing around with it.
I mean, it really isn't a huge deal, but the nor'easter that just came across us here in southern maine left about 350k people without power in a state of 1.6 million people.

Science: We should act on the best information we have available and seek to improve the quality of that information over time.

You: I'm gonna just make up my own information and wing it, I guess.

Science being wrong is a good thing, it means we are learning and removing falsified information. At every point in time, science will be invalidating the previous state of the art, and at every point in time the current science will seem naive and simple in the future.

Expecting nothing to hold is great, it means we're learning and growing as a species. The alternative is ignorance.
I mean, UEFI apps don't just have to be preboot environments – not with that attitude, at least!

Having seen elderly people decline, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it’s simply that that have a help network in place when they need it. I actually have a widowed neighbor approaching 90 with limited mobility but she’s been able to stay in her home comfortably enough because we have a rotation on our block that brings her meals (eg. We feed her on Wednesday, etc). She doesn’t really need the economic support but having someone cook and prepare and clean for her at each meal is a reason many people her age would move into an assisted living facility. Despite a high degree of social contact, duration of life once entering a facility like that is pretty low. She’s across the street from me so I even go take out her trash weekly to the curb and make sure her lawn guys are keeping things up to her standards (simple stuff like “hey, can you fix that sprinkler head”)

Alcohol consumption could be something as simple as being a net positive for health in moderation after accounting for the impact of various stresses the average person encounters in life. These things are often encountered as a couple for married folks.
Alternatively, it signals that "safety" as a broad concept as it applies to programming languages, is pretty incoherent and ultimately useless.

"Safe" and "safety" are very overloaded English words that come with a lot of baggage, and perhaps it would be prudent to stop using these broad, nonspecific terms for things like programming languages.

"Memory safety" is a coherent, reasonably well-defined concept, and it's fine to talk about something like that. But what does a broadly, generically "safe" programming language even mean?

There is also a big difference between "work" and "potentially earn robux through playing Roblox". If you are making your 10 year old sit at a desk all day doing Roblox development - I agree, that's bad, that's child labor, that should be stopped. If your 10 year old has used the Roblox editor suites to create his own game and hopes to earn robux with it - that seems like a fine use of time.

There is a girl in my neighborhood who is constantly making and selling things door to door. I've bought a bracelet, cookies, and slime from her. Is this wrong? She's probably 10-12 years old and, I assume, earning less than minimum wage. Should I call the police? Child protective services? Do we need a law to stop her from doing this?

I would say that it isn't wrong for children to do things like this. It's behavior driven by the child that isn't harmful and might be beneficial. Why should you want to stop that? Same logic applies to Roblox.

I mean, there are corporations who only sell to very large corporations and have had plenty of success doing so. Stuff like computational fluid dynamics software, for example, has a pretty-finite number of potential clients, and I don't think I could afford a license to ANSYS even if I wanted one [1], since it goes into the tens of thousands of dollars. I don't think there are a ton of startups using it.

But I think you're broadly right.

[1] Yes I know about OpenFOAM, I know I could use that if I really wanted.
I agree that most people are not biased towards action, and fixing that is the first step. However, the article is clearly aimed at people who have made that change and now are faced with the more subtle question of "how do I think about the problem such that the action I choose is likely to be appropriate."
> I think the issue is that smart home devices didn't do anything I couldn't already do, but a physical switch is faster than arguing with the computer.

Exactly this.

I no longer use any smart home devices. It was a passing fad as far as my experience goes.

You can use WebSockets with NodeJS; there's a variety of libraries for this, but (naturally) it's npm-hell; but I'm not aware of any easy-to-use WebSocket wrappers/adapter libraries like what SignalR is, but it's been a while since I looked.

SignalR's two main selling-points back-in-the-day (2014-ish) was its solid cross-browser support and how it abstracted over WebSockets, Comet, SSE, long-polling, et al - but it's 2024 now and everyone's on Chromium or WebKit, so cross-browser support is moot, and and WebSockets+SSE now covers all use-cases; so there's less going-for SignalR thesedays, and since the ASP.NET Core rewrite of SignalR it just doesn't scale as well on the client-side (as it no-longer multiplexes multiple Hub requests over a single connection, which is crazy... and HTTP/2+QUIC+3 doesn't really help, I find).
I see the same trend in programming languages. Say a really solid career lasts from about 20 to 60, 40 years long. Say that halfway through your career, 20 years in, you're considered a respectable senior dev who gets to influence what languages companies hire for and build on.

So in 20 years in, the current batch of senior devs will be retiring, and the current noobies will have become senior devs.

*Whatever language is easy to learn today will be a big deal in 20 years*

That's how PHP, Python, and JavaScript won. Since JavaScript got so much money poured on it to make it fast, secure, easy, with a big ecosystem, I say JS (or at least TS) will still be a big deal in 20 years.

The latest batch of languages know this, and that's why there are no big minimal languages. Rust comes with a good package manager, unit tester, linter, self-updater, etc., because a language with friction for noobies will simply die off.

One might ask how we got stuck with the languages of script kiddies and custom animated mouse cursors for websites. There's no other way it could turn out, that's just how people learn languages.
it is, but typing "no, `--do-x` is not a valid option, please only give me real commands" back into a chat window is a hell of a lot less frustrating than sifting through docs that may or may not even exist.
"... hardware sales motion meant that you were paying through the teeth for compilers..."

For Fortran? My memory is hazy but at NASA NAS a bunch of us were using gcc/g++ starting ~1990. g++ was... an adventure. Building my own (fine!) compiler for free(!) got me hooked on OSS to the point that when Linux/FreeBSD launched I jumped in as fast as I could.

I really loved my various SGI boxen. Magical times. I was a NASA "manager" so had the Macintosh "manager" interface box that I solved by keeping it turned off.
Your argument is baseless. I'm not saying your argument has no merit, I'm saying that your interpretation only makes sense in light of the media that came after the original trilogy. In a lot of cases, the tropes didn't become tropes until other people tried to ape them. I can think of plenty of movies that did not age well because they inspired so much of what came later. Arguably, the original Star Wars movies are amongst them. But its ridiculous to deride Star Wars as derivative of the films it inspired.

My issue was that a single message, be it 4 bytes, was essentially billed the same as a 20Mb request. Didn't make too much sense to me.

If I have to think about batching messages to decrease costs even tho my overall transport and execution would be the same, I feel like that's an issue on the platform somehow.
It’s hard to get access to a professional that understands how to do this legally and can advise appropriately. Most financial advisors just peddle overpriced high fee index funds. Like how do you even find someone like that.

Regurgitation seconds after is what already happens with the AP though. There are some real journalists that will sadly be pushed further out of the fold, and presumably many human but fake journalists that have been coasting for years on such regurgitation. I’m not so optimistic about the ai future, and believe payment or at least credit really needs to get figured out for generative stuff. But real content producers should direct some of the irritation at their editors, colleagues, and industry or else it’s all rather dishonest isn’t it?
I don't read pride. I read honesty and humility.

I'm an engineer, I can't explain the cellular energy generation pathways in eukaryotes. Someone can, most of us would find it boring, and I can't explain it. I'm not proud of it, I just recognize my limits of my knowledge and don't pretend to know more.
Kodi is my favorite open source project, but I did start it up the other day and thought it felt outdated. I will look into Jellyfin-Kodi. Using Kodi's Games/eBooks/Podcast playing ability with Jellyfin (Streaming, transcoding) features might be exactly what I've been missing.
They don't - ratings of everyone under 2000 got increased, according to formula: player rating + 0.4 * (2000 - player rating).

So everyone now has rating above 1400, except if their rating fell under in meantime, in which case they will be removed from next rating list.
This is an assertion attributed to a Namecoin talk at CCC, and it makes no sense: local governments already have practically absolute control over their TLDs. The reason DNSCurve isn't deploying is that DoH has sucked the wind out of its sails.

I would also encourage that, to be honest. Maybe you learned something, maybe built some relations, maybe made a mental exercise and became a better person.
I would surmise that the answer would lie in just how comfortable people can make themselves without any other sort of interaction. My first instinct would be to say that there are many that wouldn't, if the migration into large and expensive metropolis's such as New York, London, Paris, or Tokyo are of any indication.

For the ambitious, it's quite unlikely for one to strike greatness without support from others. Anyone is capable of anything, but no one is capable of everything. That ability to connect and network with others so that their skills and resources can be utilized to achieve feats that would otherwise be impossible alone. And I doubt that those without any sort of ambition are the majority.

Plus we saw major advances towards that sort of reality during the Pandemic, and yet those changes haven't had quite the staying power in society as some had predicted. More and more people are congregating again in various ways.

Hence why I say that I doubt that we'd see some dystopian reality where people are going to be plugged into VR all the time.

The whole notion that AI can replace search is nonsense. It yields no benefit to the creators of the results it scrapes and the models hallucinate. It's worse for users and it's worse for everyone producing anything of note online.
You made the comparison:
"It's reasonable to view Palestine as a nation and it's reasonable to look at what's going on and see forced starvation of a nation coupled to, as we are discussing here, cruelly relaxed standards for enemy combatants that make a mockery of international law and are de facto indiscriminate by any standard."

Gaza's policy is objectively indiscriminate. Israel's is objectively not indiscriminate.

I don't care what political party you identify with, and I don't care which country I'm damaging. I'm with the "Everyone Must Learn Science and Remain Objective" party. You were objectively wrong.

USGS shows it as 4.8 at 4.7 km

https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/?currentFeatureI...

The Belden quake is 4.4 at 7.8 km, and 4.2 at 5 km.

It's a log scale so the Whitehouse quake is much larger, but the significance of the quake seems to be more than just these numbers because Belden quake is irrelevant (didn't make the news really).

Sarupathar was a 5.8 (huge comparatively) at 10 km. Hualien was 5.1 at 15.9 km and talked about more than Sarupathar. So the defining aspect appears to be how many people are within range of the epicenter rather than just raw depth and magnitude. Which makes sense, I suppose. We care about how population centers encounter the movement!

Windows 11 is miles better than 10, but it's still a hot mess. Here's a couple of windows I just pulled up to illustrate.

Can't even get all the windows to the same light/dark mode let alone have a unified look of components. Variety of title bars, different checkboxes, different fonts, colours even the way window navigation works differs in jarring ways within areas like control panel (sometimes opens new window, sometimes uses current, sometimes current but with sublevel logic).

Maybe I'm just sensitive to this sort of thing, but unified is certainly not a word I'd apply.

I had an Indigo2 on my desk in college. I moved back and forth between that an a NeXT cube that a colleague had in their lab. The NeXT was nice but SLOW. The Indigo2 wasn't especially fast but it was nice and could do visual things that just weren't available as readily on our alternatives. We had SunOS and Solaris systems that were mostly used for network and engineering projects, and I was engaged in some visualization work. When the O2 was announced I was quite sure it would be the solution to our speed issues.. around the same time, another colleague was the first to install a beta of Win95, and it did seem awfully pretty.
I suppose there is meant to be a tipping point where the humans should be able to step back after the AI has learnt enough from watching them. Perhaps they were struggling to reach that point and the failure rate was remaining stubbornly high.

Outsourcing to India/Mechanical Turk is always going to be cheaper than creating a sophisticated AI model. I could see them dropping it if the "learning" had started to stall.

This whole thing seemed like a branding exercise anyway. Like how Apple stores are in every major city despite relatively few people buying their products in-store.
IIRC the check was something even weaker than that. It just counted the number of verbs in the cog script and if it matched you were in. Cheating in online games was a pretty new concept though since online games in general were still a pretty new concept. Games would advertise themselves as being for hacks and people would come in and use all their weird scripts on each other.
Both of those are pressureless, so they could be dark matter but not dark energy.

Except that primordial black holes are ruled out (as 100% of dark matter) by various observational bounds, and antimatter would be just as visible as normal matter and not "dark" at all.

And then eventually the paper itself is worth more than the banknote.
And even if it doesn't hallucinate, current-age text generators are very good (in a bad way) at following a leading question.

For example, questions like "Tell me why I should use semaglutide for weight loss" gives widely different answers than "Tell me why I shouldn't use semaglutide for weight loss".

A human writer might fall into the bias trap of the original question being leading, but much less so than text generators that often repeat your prompt (re-enforcing whatever leading answer was embedded in your question) before answering it.
You have a triad (much like time, money, resources) of the Internet:

1. Privacy
2. Security
3. Anonymity

Wireguard covers everything except your endpoints (anonymity).

Adding any more wrapper of a non-routing protocol will leak even more info: I can safely say this as one who creates filters for IDS/IPS/NDS/XNS.

If you want to cover the last vestige of your endpoints and not lose any more info, you would use a routing-type protocol, encrypted or not, onion-layer or not.
and this is both nice and horrible.

Most audio streams are 'direct stream' when you use plex/jf/emby as backend, but your receiver/soundbar only gets the PCM stream, without any object data (yes, you loose atmos, not that it is a lot of loss when using a soundbar, but if you have atmos speakers in your ceiling you want that data)

in an ideal world, the appletv will simply passthrough the audio upstream, so you receiver can do what it does best.
It's not scraping, it's indexing and linking out to creators. LLMs are helping themselves to everything with no regard for content creators. They should be subject to copyright claims — I don't care if it destroys their business, they should've considered that at the outset. They didn't then and they don't care to now, they're simply greedy and looking to build something that benefits themselves and their investors with no regard for anyone they step on to do so.
