From the mDL pilot program website [0]:

1. Continue to carry your physical driver’s license or state-issued ID card. Law enforcement, state government agencies, and businesses aren’t yet accepting the mDL.

2. The mDL is currently authorized for limited usage. There are many participating airports across the United States.

Right now the only main use case is tap-and-fly (can I make this term a thing?) where you don’t need to present your ID to TSA at select airports. Also, it has a nice design and looks cool.

The best use case is probably that it can work as a backup if you forget your ID at home when you’re trying to board a plane, or if you want to simplify what’s in your pockets prior to boarding.

Kind of sums up how people continue to give their lives; their most important years to corporations for self worth and validation when in reality, you mean nothing to them. You're invisible.

I want to support myself.
Who here has worked at a boring desk job, in a cubicle hell, where you hardly talk to your neighbor? Who here has been the last one out on a Friday, simply because you've started browsing the web and have nothing better to do?

I'd like to know more about what her desk was like? Was she situated with her back to other people, so it wasn't obvious that she was unresponsive? Did people leave her undisturbed, out of politeness? Did she pass late Friday afternoon, and no one noticed?

For a moment I thought that might be a quote from fiction story Tank Farm Dynamo by David Brin [0], which also involves deals for reusing marginal propellants in space.

Most security controls used in your average business can be bypassed by knowledgeable users with enough time.

The aim is to make things as hard as reasonably possible so you can tell your boss and regulators that you did your part.
You should never need to hand your phone over for any other usage of Google Wallet, so hopefully most people realize that they shouldn't hand it over for this ever.
This is very true. Usually the discussion goes about tracking by commercial entities in rich Westernized countries, which, by no coincidence, are the principal market of the ad industry. (Yes, China exists and is a huge market, but commercial tracking is a minor problem here, compared to other forms of surveillance.)

If you belong to such a category that the mere belonging to it is a death sentence, if revealed, the situation is vastly different. You have to act more like a secret agent or a spy. This means constant, pervasive, fastidious opsec. Any death-sentence-invoking activities should be strictly separated from the normal civil life. Only use the normal browser to visit commerce, official news, and government web sites. Everything that is not openly pious and loyal should belong to ephemeral VMs with a fresh browser install every time (preferably several different), VPNs that are indistinguishable from legitimate web traffic, like XRay, truecrypt-protected media with some plausible deniability data, etc. It all takes quite some technical chops, but is not sufficient. Many other small details, related to technology or not, have to be carefully, well, sanitized, and any small slip can out you.

Such undercover life, while possible, is very tiring, takes a lot of extra time and energy, and noticing this also may mark you as suspicious.

Another browser API that may slightly help track you is a minor problem on this background, unless it pierces any of your layers of protection.
Indeed, it's hard for programmers to find jobs these days, so I wanted to do something on my own.
I really hate this corporate trend. The soundtracks to all of our company meetings are basically mostly songs about wanting to fuck that girl you met in the club last night and I seem to be the only person who finds it incredibly inappropriate for the setting.
Yawn. Old man yells at cloud (literally). So he's taking his little netblock ball and going home because of some failed purity tests: bad or nonexistent PTRs, excessive ICMP, oh my! The gentleman's agreements that held together the early internet and web and the unwritten practices like that are long gone, get with the times, there ain't any going back to how it was. Otherwise, feel free to disconnect entirely if you don't want to deal with the new reality.

I'm going to going out on a limb and guess that all of this traffic that isn't related directly to AWS, but its customers. You can set PTRs for your allocated elastic IPs with a request to support. But then again nobody is going to do it because... it doesn't matter. It may have mattered when you were hosting with a block that you actually truly owned, before the ICANN times, but no more. No one cares. Everything is ephemeral, so why should the reverse matter when things get cycled through addresses multiple times per day? If you're seeing excessive anything, then it's probably time to reach out to the abuse contact published in the whois. Let me help you with that:

I continue to be radically pro-nuclear (but I'm also pro-solar and pro-wind). Especially given Elon's example with SpaceX, how you can drop the cost of some technology by a factor of 10 or 100. Elon's idea was that the floor on the price of something is the cost of the raw materials. Everything else can be optimized. The cost of a nuclear power plant is most likely one thousand times the cost of the raw materials. Can we drive it down by a factor of 10 or 100? If not, why not? And if we can, can we increase the world's energy production by a factor of 10, or 100?

Extremely sad.

Two things of note: her last badge-in was on a Friday, and her body was noticed on a Tuesday, so two of those days were when the office was closed. The other is that almost everybody in the office, according to the article, works remotely. So, it's possible not many people even had a chance to notice her between when she died on Friday (presumably) and when she was finally found on Tuesday.

However, that office supposedly has round the clock security, and the security on duty didn't pick up on anything unusual. Unless there's some rule against security monitoring the area where she worked, it's possible BOA corporate needs to review its physical security procedures, and possibly its security staff. In any case, something is broken there.
I am guessing this is due to user reports and the warning being automatic

We'd love to have CodeViz run with local LLMs so you can untangle the spaghetti. The call graph is generated without LLMs or servers - any interest in a 'local only' mode so you can still use CodeViz while keeping your code on-device?

- Browser-based: No installation required
- Privacy-focused: All processing happens locally
- Bulk processing: Optimize multiple SVGs at once
- File customization: Add prefixes and suffixes to optimized files
- Download options: Get individual SVGs or all as a zip file

As a designer who creates a lot of icons. I created Eternal because I needed a no-fuss SVG optimizer for my projects and couldn't find one that was both simple and powerful.

Hey HN! I was tired of workout apps that promised the world but delivered paywalls, so I built BESTburn (https://www.bestburn.fit/).

Key features:

AI-generated personalized workout plans and AI-powered search
Extensive exercise library with video tutorials
Progress tracking and custom playlist creation
100% free, no hidden fees or subscriptions

Tech stack: Python

I've open-sourced the AI model for workout recommendations. Would love your feedback on the app and the model!
P.S. It works great for coders looking to offset those long sitting hours. I've included a "Desk Jockey Delight" workout routine!
None of those metrics measure the value of the brand, so none of those metrics are useful for the question that this thread is about: figuring out if AWS benefits from sticking with the OpenSearch brand.

If I'm right that OpenSearch has a weak brand, Amazon could switch and their internal stats and revenue wouldn't budge.

"Disinformation and fake news" should not be crimes that anyone gets taken to court for to begin with.
Very brave of them to report this. They're likely on no-fly lists for life now, and will probably be investigated by the FBI. The government does not like to be embarrassed.
Autopilot is a better name, although IMO it is still pretty bad.

* Airplane autopilot doesn’t totally handle every situation, for example it (historically at least) didn’t handle takeoff and landing.

* There was a lot of optimism around self driving cars when it was named. There might’ve been room to believe even the misunderstood full self driving idea of autopilot could be attainable.

“Incognito” just means a totally different thing from what incognito mode provides. The word has nothing to do with the feature, which is about not keeping a record for yourself of your own actions. Name it amnesia mode maybe. Blackout drunk mode.
perhaps neurodivergent people should reveal such before publicly accusing anyone else of violating social norms

The earliest surviving written records - the clay tablets of ancient Mesopotamia - are mostly collections of data, taxation records and so on. It was something of a disappointment to scholars when cuneiform was deciphered that their materials didn't record many epic poems, but rather a whole lot of internal revenue information. It's a fascinating story, well told by Irving Finkel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfYYraMgiBA

The vast majority of data being collection today is similarly uninteresting - maybe the surveillance state likes it as a means to control politicians by threatening to expose their porn watching habits or similar, and certainly targeted advertising has made some people wealthy, but it's not even well-curated, and it's certainly not the kind of valuable data that comes out of well-designed and controlled experiments, and thus 'big data science' is one of the most over-hyped fields in existence today.
It was actually an order issue. I had ordered a child’s loft bed for pickup and went to go pickup when I got the email to tell me to do so. When I showed up they said they didn’t have it because they sold it. Apparently just because you order something for pickup doesn’t mean they can’t sell it off the floor.
This is well explained but its missing a key ingredient.

You are dealing with government. Its not a business like Instagram or a grocer like Costco. If IG crashes consistently or if Costco has long lines at chekout, you take your business elsewhere.

With Medicaid you dont have an option, and the govt program, unlike IG or Costco, will never go out of business due to poor business services

Good point, there definitely is the performance hit for the observability data it gives you, but for me, that's a fair trade for the results it gets me. I can see how working with things that have more realtime-ish constraints like games would be more greatly affected. Still, works super well for systems software, so I continue to use it.

Elastic trying to reclaim the lost ground in their original territory by re-embracing open source is a bold move. They might be hoping to attract developers and businesses back by offering more transparency and community involvement. Could this have anything to do with vector databases starting to eat into some of their market share, pushing Elastic to innovate and re-establish their relevance?

This is certainly a concern. I'm early 50s now and have no medical issues or physical limitations (ok, aside from fatness). I'm pretty handy. I can fix what needs fixing. My tolerance for problems and delays is high. But it won't be long before I start falling apart and will want to be closer to medical resources for myself and service providers for my stuff.

I'm not looking for a forever home. I figure I might live in the middle of nowhere for a decade or so and then who knows. Maybe move closer to town and have a nice place to visit part of the year.

wgpu supports WebGPU: https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu :

> While WebGPU does not support any shading language other than WGSL, we will automatically convert your non-WGSL shaders if you're running on WebGPU.
I would argue that there are problems that go beyond being ones of communication and are instead problems of hard obstinacy. These are much harder to solve except usually by crudely deviating around them.

Also, it's sometimes maddening how often society, media, and of course politicians/lawmakers, see extreme cases like the above and try to blame technology with a "do something!" policy solution, even though there will always be extremes of stupid or obstinate that no amount of specific solutions will stop from happening.

But, it's easier to blame a tech or UX standard that's controlled by an agent or entity intelligent enough to be subject to pressure. Easier than it is to blame isolated human extremes of behavior that will in any case not respond to calls for change because their nature makes that nearly impossible.

Many of the particularly idiotic rules or UX requirements we see in the systems that most of us, being more or less reasonable, interact with come from the above-mentioned misguided attempts to proof that system against the absolute worst, forcing the vast majority who don't need such measures into stumbling over them.

> You (the vendor) can ask the customer to open their firewall for your software to communicate with the outside world (e.g. your own datacenter or third party services), but customers will usually be reluctant to open their firewall more than necessary.

Vendors that try tricks like this to work around the firewall team, as backlogged and inefficient as they are, will lose deals and credibility, 100% guaranteed. And I love ssh -R and stunnel, for what it's worth.

The easier way to get what you want is to get someone technical with political capital (they exist) to buy into what you're selling so that they can tell the firewall team to make exceptions during a trial period.
I love this story but I wish I understood it better. How did people find their way to the URL if they didn't have DB access? Did they inspect the traffic with a proxy and see the db file going back and forth?

I just felt a great disturbance in the force as a billion users shuddered in fear simultaneously.
Yes, good point. The latest LLMs from Anthropic, Open AI etc will always be more powerful than your local LLM. I reckon that the cutting edge cloud-based models will (continue to) provide enormous value for a range of complex actions, but that we will also derive great value from our own personal and organizational local models running on our devices and LANs.

I'm assuming that small specialized LLMs for coding will become 'good enough' for a significant proportion of tasks. For example, when Codestral came out earlier this year it supposedly beat Meta’s CodeLlama 70B model in all of the top coding evaluation benchmarks, even though it's 3 x smaller.
People tend to forget how grueling pre-modern life before modern society etc., was for people. Most people were one bad season away from starvation and penury. No air conditioning/heat, medicines, heathy food, hygiene, good shelter, lighting, etc.

I'm not saying working in early mills or factories was fun, but it beat the hell out of subsistence living so much that people opted for that to remaining in the hinterlands --this still is the case in modern China --that's why there are so many illegal internal migrants moving to city manufacturing sectors.
