Thanks for perfectly illustrating the impact of Uber - now you complain about few minutes!

I used a "real taxi" a lot in Germany, Poland and CZ before Uber. The best approximate they gave me was "in half an hour" and it usually was more like 45-60 minutes, if it arrived at all. The usual thing to do was to take one passing by, but that got you a terrible smelly car with a ganster driver that overcharged 2x-5x.

Since you mention CZ - the taxi mafia in Prague was especially legendary. Can't thank Uber enough for disrupting that.

It's obviously the second option.
I was looking at an incident in my neighborhood. In our city, we have frequent incidents of elderly drivers killing pedestrians in motor vehicles. The incident in our neighborhood did not show a driver age but did show the pedestrian age. I cannot imagine why the driver age would not have been recorded in an incident like that (but their height and weight were).
> expected that the `--mpv-socket` option would allow me to send videos to the player instance tied to that socket

Ahh that's interesting. I experimented with a setup almost like that before[0]. It increased the complexity quite a bit more than I expected when refactoring some of the features so I decided against it but I recommend checking out the python_mpv_jsonipc library. I still use it in with --auto-seek and -4dtv (interdimensional cable mode)

BUT if you wanted a setup like this I think it wouldn't be too difficult to use something like `lb wt -l120 -pf` and then pipe to a program that will send the files to mpv one at a time. or maybe something like:

mpv --playlist=<(lb wt vids.db -l120 -pf)

> Wayland

I recommend checking to see if your window manager can solve this for you [1]

I use KDE/KWin so in Window Rules I set mpv to skip taskbar and set Focus stealing prevention to Force extreme so that new mpv windows don't steal focus. But for mpv specifically, you might have luck with an mpv config like this:

ontop=yes
keepaspect
geometry=100%:100%
autofit=30%x24%

I think the reason I don't set this in KWin directly is because I want to override the geometry depending on if mpv closed fullscreen [2] or if I'm using lb wt with multiple-playback

Ground EMS could have arrived in 1 minute if they were already nearby. Just because the patient was transported by air doesn't necessarily mean that the helicopter unit was first to arrive.
Thank you for adding some numbers regarding the feasibility of launching the required materials into space. Do you have any thoughts/numbers about how "mining/construction" in-situ in space might affect those outcomes? E.g. Might we soon be able to "recycle" old in-orbit objects (trash/old_sats) into a slowly growing space mirror? Or several smaller ones over (richer/more_affected) areas?
Germany has a lot of them on mostly remote, rarely serviced lines that see only a small number of regional trains per day. Main reason is cost to upgrade weighed against the (relatively) low risk of incidents because of low amount of traffic on both the train route and the crossing road.

I'd argue that most American local streets are unsafe anyway: I've seen Spanish highways with fewer lanes than suburbian streets with no commercial. But the distances to connect 500 bedrooms, placed in 1/3rd of an acre lots, are so large that ultimately roads are overbuilt to fit anything. Suburban streets with traffic under 1 car a minute in the daytime, with 3 or 4 lanes, set to a 30mph max, where you'd do 60 except for the fact that it's full of driveways coming in and out. Why do we even allow a lone house connect to a road like that via a driveway, where the neighbor will go into the street in reverse? It's madness, and is all over the midwest. So we don't even have to get into the stroads.

You would need to educate the masses first on how to use this stuff. And you end up sort of carrying an active beacon around. Which probably isn't a great strategy if you want to hide in plain sight of people empowered to just shoot you on sight.

Most phones don't have a huge range in any case. So, covering a wide area with a mesh network would be very vulnerable against repression. Just take out all the nodes that you can detect. If your phone picks them up, the suspect is within line of sight probably.

Technology has very few answers to repressive regimes like this. Mostly people get afraid and refrain from using the things that might get them in jail and self police. That also breeds trust issues. The DDR regime ultimately got children to rat out their relatives. Modern repressive regimes are learning from each other as well when it comes to identifying and neutralizing pockets of resistance. The Bangladesh playbook was perfected by the Chinese, Iran, Myanmar, etc.

Usually those regimes only end when people get hungry and angry enough. As long as you keep the economy going, regimes can last a long time. And of course North Korea perfected the art of repressing a starving nation. So even that is not a show stopper.

We're not at zero risk of regressing into living under oppressive regimes like that. I live in Germany where the scars of communism and fascism are still very visible. It only takes some rogue fools to win an election to roll back the clock a century.

Depressing, but a good way to think about it.

The whole market in which crowdstrike can exist is a result of regulation, albeit bad regulation.

And since the returns of selling endpoint protection are increasing with volume, the market can, over time, only be an oligopoly or monopoly.

It is a screwed market with artificially increased demand.

Also the outsourcing is not only about cost and compliance. There is at least a third force. In a situation like this, no CTO who bought crowdstrike products will be blamed. He did what was considered best industry practice (box ticking approach to security). From their perspective it is risk mitigation.

In theory, since most of the security incidents (not this one) involve the loss of personal customer data, if end customers would be willing to a pay a premium for proper handling of their data, AND if firms that don’t outsource and instead pay for competent administrators within their hierarchy had a means of signaling that, the equilibrium could be pushed to where you would like it to be.

Those are two very questionable ifs.

Also how do you recognise a competent administrator (even IT companies have problems with that), and how many are available in your area (you want them to live in the vicinity) even if you are willing to pay them like the most senior devs?

If you want to regulate the problem away, a lot of influencing factors have to be considered.
Minio assumes each node has identical hardware. Garage is designed for use-cases like self-hosting, where nodes are not expected to have identical hardware.
Nice thing of using sessions is that you mark cookies as HttpOnly and you avoid them ever being leakable by crosssite scripting. And you get them transparently in your JS -> backend calls.

Of course downside is that once you move to multiserver you have to think of setting up sticky loadbalancing or distributed sessions.

I’m quite familiar with both, having spent some time building a crdt library of my own. The authors of both projects are lovely humans. There are quite a lot of small differences that might matter to some people:

- Yjs is mostly made by a single author (Kevin Jahns). It does not store the full document history, but it does support arbitrarily many checkpoints which you can rewind a document to. Yjs is written in JavaScript. There’s a rust rewrite (Yrs) but it’s significantly slower than the JavaScript version for some reason. (5-10x slower last I checked).

- Automerge was started by Martin Kleppmann, Cambridge professor and author of Designing Data Intensive Applications. They have some funding now and as I understand it there are people working on it full time. To me it feels a bit more researchy - for example the team has been working on Byzantine fault tolerance features, rich text and other interesting but novel stuff. These days it’s written in rust, with wasm builds for the web. Automerge stores the entire history of a document, so unlike Yjs, deleted items are stored forever - with the costs and benefits that brings. Automerge is also significantly slower and less memory efficient than Yjs for large text documents. (It takes ~10 seconds & 200mb of ram to load a 100 page document in my tests.) I’m assured the team is working on optimisations; which is good because I would very much like to see more attention in that area.

They’re both good projects, but honestly both could use a lot of love. I’d love to have a “SQLite of local first software”. I think we’re close, but not quite there yet.

(There are some much faster test based CRDTs around if that’s your jam. Aside from my own work, Cola is also a very impressive and clean - and orders of magnitude faster than Yjs and automerge.)

Stroads never make sense, even with zero pedestrian traffic. They have way too many ingress and egress points, so they are wide, attempting to be fast, yet ultimately a significant crash risk, because there's a way in, or out, or something, ever quarter mile at the most. Tiny strip mall with 4 stores! A funeral parlor! A bank! a subdivision hidden somewhere? Sometimes, even straight out houses. All at 90 degree angles, where some traffic is doing 40, and there's no traffic lights in most of said interscetions.

Even banning pedestrians, we'd be far better off with fewer ingress points to fast roads that now need fewer lanes, and then the few intersections/roundabouts give access to side roads that are rated far, far slower, and have access to those store parking lots. The traffic that is going far is then detached from the one that is going close, the road gets faster, and the street is safer from fender benders. The diminished places where people stop fast and go will also lower stress on the physical road itself, leading to less places needing repairs very often, as the typical stroad turning lane does.

Careful, statistics is a place where you need to be very careful about what exactly you mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_paradox_(probability)

Your brain is also based on statistics. We also get stuck in a rut because the "right" answer is no longer statistically significant.

And yet this is not what limits our cognition.

Current LLMs are slow to update with new info, which is why they have cut-off dates so far in the past. Can that be improved to learn as fast (from as little data) as we do? Where's the optimal point on inferring from decreasing data before they show the same cognitive biases we do?

(Should they be improved, or would doing that simply bring in the same race dynamics as SEO?)
Yes, multiple times. But if you'd like to build an MVP you can't go wrong with a SaaS auth service to get you started and transition to something else.

Even better nowadays, there are multiple SaaS/starter kits you can use (most are paid) that remove all these chores and you can get down to your domain flow.

The major problem is equatorial heat. After a certain point of wet bulb temperature, you either die or migrate a billion people away from the equator into Europe.

Billions can't afford air conditioning. An air conditioning unit is equal to their entire annual income. You don't even have an airtight room within which you can install the AC unit. Let alone a stable electrical grid during heatwaves.

Their state capacity and wealth just isn't there to plan for the worst, either. Their civic society would sooner collapse than mobilise to solve this problem.

My intention isn't to sound chauvinist, this is just a reality of the political fragility of poorer countries, combined with the extreme difficulty of mobilising large amounts of resources to solve long-term challenges.

Ransomware vendors at least try to avoid causing damage to critical infrastructure, or hitting way too many systems simultaneously - it's good neither for business nor for their prospects of staying alive and free.

But that's besides the point. Point is, attacks distributed over time and space ultimately make the overall system more resilient; an attack happening everywhere at once is what kills complex systems.

> Ransomware getting smarter about sideways movement, and proper data exfiltration etc attacks, are part of what led to proliferation of requirements for EDRs like Crowdstrike, btw

To use medical analogy, this is saying that the pathogens got smarter at moving around, the immune system got put on a hair trigger, leading to a cytokine storm caused by random chance, almost killing the patient. Well, hopefully our global infrastructure won't die. The ultimate problem here isn't pathogens (ransomware), but the oversensitive immune system (EDRs).

There's a thing that happens where people get "" trapped"" by automatic crossing gates. They get their car on the tracks as the gate closes in front and behind them. The gates are very weak so they could drive right through, but some sort of mental block often prevents this and so they stay there with their car on the tracks, sometimes not even thinking to get out of the car.

I guess it goes to show that stupid finds a way.

Oh, absolutely. JavaScript Object Notation became a defacto standard purely because js could parse it natively. Then `json` was adopted as part of the standard python libraries, within PHP, etc... Once upon a time, even stuff like base64 encoding/decoding required someone to write the code for it. Agreed, it requires pushing to get useful stuff into "batteries included" stdlibs.

We're using JavaScript Object Notation because.... Isn't the name quite telling? :-)

I think you know this sleeping but ah just wanted to say, Hi let's keep talking
What matters to me, as a home user, looking for some affordable high-speed networking is; can I do 10GbE line-speed switching over VLANs on something like the 305 or 309?

Can I do 2.5GbE to something like the Unifi WiFi 7 AP, again with VLAN trunking?

I have a router for routing (Protecti box running OPNSense) and besides faster access between a high-speed AP and my storage servers, I might also just want to connect my desktop and NAS, as well as have a high-speed link over copper say to my living room where I might want to put a 1GbE switch with 10GbE uplink for the various devices beneath the TV to connect back to the storage servers etc.

I want to do this with as few additional devices (preferably no more than a single 10GbE switch in my network cabinet, a NIC in each device and one more switch for the living room; I already have a bunch of 1GbE switching in a mix of PoE and non-PoE in Ubiquiti EdgeMAX equipment), and as little power use as possible.

The whole gimmick of the books is not wanting to save the world. But the world got blown up anyway, so what do you do now?
Yeah, that's about right.

The most insidious part of this is when there are entire swaths of infrastructure in place that circumvent the usual code review process in order to execute those configuration changes. Boolean flags like your `config('foo')` here are most common, but I've also seen nested dictionaries shoved through this way.
You can equally argue the government is not mature enough to recognize the validity of their protest and is violently oppressing them, leading to predictable further violence.
