>> I mentioned it elsewhere, but I wonder if these trends in staying home are also true in more walkable areas.

I think it depends on zoning and mandates. I used to live in Brooklyn on 4th Ave and it is super-walkable. However, numerous 12story buildings featured a parking garage as their ground-level facade, rather than cafes, offices, etc. This leads to an empty industrial feeling that makes people run away from such spaces.

Here is are 3 examples:

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6718516,-73.9875659,3a,75y,2...

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6731304,-73.9863663,3a,75y,9...

https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6726699,-73.9865002,3a,75y,1...

To be fair, many did have clinics or dentist offices also, but -- it would be nice to have places where people want to go -- gyms, cafes, grocery stores, restaurants, etc.

In "The Death and Life of Great American Cities", Jacobs pushes for a variety -- and I can now truly appreciate that having lived in the above areas. The above areas may be walkable but dont attract people to walk there. They also become ghostly at night and people feel unsafe walking there. I could imagine the entire atmosphere changing with restaurants and cafes.
So what I do here is that I have a local PXE server (it's a DHCP option on your router) that serves up iPXE with a preconfigured script to boot via HTTP off of netboot.xyz. So whenever I want to install linux on a new computer, I set the BIOS boot option to boot from PXE next boot and restart. In a few seconds, I am presented with my choice of linux environment.

For my data center servers, I have it booting via PXE to an iPXE with a custom script to take a unique identifier from the host and build the corresponding configuration (NixOS). So essentially for that I define my NixOS configuration in a NixOS flake and plug the new host in and it will boot to the correct configuration. I actually don't have any OS installation on most of the hosts and share the nix store via NFS.

I also keep an iPXE thumb drive around in case I need to do this for something not on my network. In that case, I insert the drive, boot from it, and then ask it to boot from netboot.xyz manually.
> How is that different than pulling an ISO image of your favorite distro, or using a package manager like apt?

"Some iPXE builds do not support HTTPS connections. If you get an "Operation not supported" error message, run this instead:

chain --autofree http://boot.netboot.xyz"

Which.. think about that advice for a minute.

Neither does remote updating. But you'll still need physical access to the supply chain to compromise it, and that's not possible for some hacker in a basement.

I recently discovered a cool trick for runtime type validation using pattern matching, it goes like this

end

end

> or even over PXE, I guess

This is super common actually! Most built-in PXE only supports TFTP, which is pretty slow compared to TCP-based stuff. It can make sense to use the built-in PXE to grab a (small) iPXE image over TFTP, then have iPXE grab the (big) real image over HTTP(S). This is also useful if you want to store your main image on something like S3 that doesn’t support TFTP.

For a while I had a script that would create iPXE images dynamically on the fly with the correct HTTPS URL and auth information embedded in them.

Spine is fantastic. I'm using it for my latest game, Danger World. All of the animations my artists are working on are done in Spine and I'm able to use a bridge package that someone wrote to integrate what I need into Flame's engine.
Sure, and that works great if you have a small, motivated, experienced, and disciplined team with a deep understanding of customer needs. But that is not the reality in most real organizations that must reliably deliver software. They often need to get productive work out of inexperienced, undisciplined developers who don't personally know what the customers even want. So Scrum or something like it ends up being the least bad option that actually works.

You might argue that companies should hire more competent developers who fully understand the business domain issues. But there are few of those available at any price, especially in complex fields like healthcare.

I had one of my wife's relatives in 2013 tell me "I'd never buy Amazon stock. They've been in business for 15 years and still are not profitable!" I tried to explain that it's because every dollar of potential profit was funneled back into R&D and company expansion, and that revenue has been growing steadily, but he just didn't get it.

If he'd bought stock then, he'd have ~10x'd his money in that time, whereas the S&P500 has ~3x'd.

I would have bought stock myself back then, but I was a broke college student.

That would be the fair thing to do and was Google's policy for many years, and still is for all I know. But modern Google stopped caring about fairness and similar concerns many years ago.
That honestly just makes me think: Is there a distro where this isn't the case? Where the defaults are set up for performance in a modern server context, with the expectation that the system will be admin'd by someone technical who knows the tradeoffs? Heck, the decisions + tradeoffs can all be documented in docs.

Is there a reason I'm missing why this wouldn't be worth jumping on?
It's not traders who speculate with the prices (which could also be), it's the countries who where buying enough supply for months. Yeah sure, it could trigger a surge in supply in order prevent a shortage.
naïve ideas:

- domain reputation
- ip address reputation
- hot linked image/css/js from a malware-flagged domain
- possibly the domain is highly correlated with a malware / SEO clout ring (a group of other domains specifics used to try and game whatever benefit PageRank may still have)

When I maintained a social media site, we had lots of users hotlink to random websites that hosted an image they wanted to display. If the hotlinked host/domain got flagged as Malware hosting, our user’s page (on our domain) would also get flagged. Note: this was Google Chrome’s malware detection, not AdWords, but it may be relevant info.

If you're making $500k/year in revenue, Spine's license cost is probably the least of your worries.

I tend to be averse to proprietary dependencies more from a maintainability/longevity aspect than a cost aspect. If Esoteric Software goes out of business, who develops future versions of Spine? Are they kind enough to open-source it before turning the lights off? Does it get sold to some other company that runs it into the ground? Does development just cease? Are there licensing servers that the tools and SDKs and such have to ping to be functional, and if so, what happens when those servers shut down?

I argued that a perfect word predictor would need to be intelligent or have infinite memory, and I noted that ChatGPT is not such a thing. The point was that establishing that ChatGPT is a word predictor is insufficient to disprove that it is intelligent. Your argument is that a fairly reliable word predictor does not need to be intelligent, which I agree with emphatically- a thing being a word predictor most certainly does not prove that it is intelligent. A perfect word predictor would either need to know or deduce properties of your house in order to write an accurate assessment; a fairly reliable one could just fall back on 'fairly' and fail the task.

I don't think your criteria for intelligence is sufficient- I would not be at all surprised to learn that GPT-4o could already look at pictures of my house and write an accurate assessment, but that wouldn't convince me it was intelligent. You could do this quite well a decade ago with computer vision and a fill-in-the-blanks document.

>this technology is already hitting a wall

An aside: I've seen this said a lot and I don't get it. GPT-3.5 is only about 2 years old and turned a toy into a useful tool. GPT-4 was a substantial improvement to output quality and context length and multimodality a half year later. If GPT-5 comes out and it's not a significant improvement or doesn't come out at all by March, that would be evidence that a wall has been hit. But at the moment I can't think of a technology that has improved more in the last 2 years and I don't know where this claim comes from.
Thing is, that's very "sysadmin-y". A developer would typically just want their exe file be called directly, and if they need to hook more things into the startup process, they'll write more code into the start of int main()

I should have elaborated more originally.. I suppose part of me wanted to be asked.

Moderation used to work well, because relatively small communities (forums and game servers) included moderators, who were users that also actively participated in discussion. That model is incredibly rare today. Instead, we have a tiny coalition of corporate giants who own (monopolize via copyright) the overwhelming majority of discussion content and interaction platforms. On these platforms, traditional moderation has been replaced with corporate censorship and automation, which in turn are driven by corporate goals (advertising) instead of genuine participation by moderators.

It's my assertion that this is a natural outcome of copyright itself. Copyright demands that content be exclusively owned and profited upon; therefore interaction must be siloed and incentivized accordingly. Even free (as in beer) interaction must bow to this pattern eventually.
The author is using "correlation" in a somewhat non-standard way. He isn't referring to linear correlation as you are, but any sort of nonzero mutual information between the two variables. So in his usage those two variables are "correlated" in your example.

3. No meeting agenda, no meeting. It is OK to have weekly recurring meetings. But if you don't have an agenda emailed a day or so before the meeting, cancel the meeting.

4. Unless you have a somewhat detailed requirements document based on actual customer input, you will build the wrong thing. All stakeholders should be in agreement with what's on that document.

6. For the love of god, no Scrum or daily standup, unless you want your team hate you. Weekly iteration meetings for progress updates might work better. Your 1-on-1's is a better way to track team progress.

Wait what. I don’t know if my inverter does what they say. For one thing the vendor went bankrupt so there is no cloud dashboard anymore. For another there are hundreds of inverter vendors not one single one. And I am highly sceptical the basic dashboard showing solar generation has some sinister inverter backdoor killswitch when the article seems to provide no evidence of such? Seriously?

Edit: did some research and apparently it varies - many modern inverters can be remotely controlled by manufacturers - if they’re setup to allow it and are internet connected.

The article is still sensationalist about the risks though

I'd rather work with developers who are flexible and open minded about the conditions they can work in than those who get notoriously pissy if things aren't set up exactly the way they like it. Especially when that way is ridiculously elaborate and non-standard.
I never claimed remote updating would prevent supply chain attacks.

I was responding to:

> With a hardware switch, none of that malware will survive a reboot of the device.

A reboot of the inverter would not prevent a supply chain attack using MPPT measurement electronics for an optical backdoor channel.
The thing is the study covers 2003 to today. People talking about dramatic changes in suburban life but neighborhoods haven't changed much at all since 2003.

What has changed is home entertainment has gotten more diverse. People stream movies more often than they go to the theater. People download the latest video games instead of going to game store. People stream instead of going to Blockbuster video. There is also a greater variety of food delivery options (Uber Eats, etc). You can have groceries delivered. People buy more of their purchases online like on Amazon and have it overnighted to their door.

All these conveniences remove reasons to be out and about. In 2003 you still had to leave the house for most of these things.
It's easy when you put it that way. But I suppose that implies a breakdown of a lot of barriers that were setup early for me.

1. My parent was careful with money. every transaction would be tracked, so anything unusual like Robux would show up quick.

2. 99% of the time a CC would be in a purse or bedroom. Both strictly off limits unless permission was granted (or emergency)

3. I was on general pretty much only allowed to use any allowance (which wasn't much) for food or the occasional school supply. Anything else would require permission. Money given was for necessities, not leisure.

It could just be the outliers popping up in news. But I just can't imagine so many social barriers breaking down over a video game.
