Can it do 10BASE-T with no overclocking?
Lenovo ThinkCentre M Series (minis) are an absolute sleeper and way better value than Raspbery Pis. I run one in my home network closet with a bunch of docker containers on for home networking, crawler projects that need to run from a non-datacenter IP address, homelab experiments, etc.

Cost me $100 'used' (open box), SSD, decent RAM and even a copy of Windows I didn't need. Install *nix, run it headless, good to go.

You can go cheaper but at a certain point who cares if it's $80 for an unknown brand or $100 for Lenovo, etc.

Small form factor, it can tuck in with wherever you store your router, or buy an aftermarket rack kit if you run rackmount network components like I do. OR 3D print one https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4769452

Eg https://www.ebay.com/itm/186591932407 - this is a great project server that can probably run tons of docker containers (depending on what you are doing).
> The simple presence of them might be enough of a deterrent

The planning for 9/11 took several years, $500k in financing, and had a lot of moving parts between recruiting, research, travel/visas, flight training etc. It's hard to believe that people motivated at that level would truly be deterred by what you see happening at the typical American airport these days.
They tend to specifically choose against people with critical thinking skills.
I'm not sure the US is currently a particularly great advertisment for its model of constitutional government. In place of acts of Parliament that have a relatively clear interpretation (and that can be undone or modified by elected representatives), there is legislative deadlock and an endless series of judicial séances attempting to determine whether or not Ben Franklin would have supported gay marriage, abortion rights and concealed carry of MANPADS if he'd been born 300 years later.
AFAICT the law is really just be about vehicle noise level regardless of why it's happening. [0] That makes sense to me: going over $X decibels and "polluting" the space is a problem regardless of whether the car came that way from the factory, or because someone is operating it to "burn rubber", or because they modified the exhaust, etc.

All I'd add is that I hope it'd possible to get a waiver if someone can prove an exceptional circumstance, like their car broke and they can't get it fixed (or afford to have it fixed) yet.

So I don't know what grounds this guy thinks he has to "fight" the citation, and the shitty link-spam article doesn't say.

> That’s the thing with these pushes to regulate noise out of cities: they often are enforced with such ruthlessness that they end up backfiring. In this case, an automated system is making the call about issuing citations. There’s no police officer inspecting the car and realizing it’s just loud right out of the factory instead of something the owner modded to make it louder.

Hmmm. I'm not sure it follows to me that just because a manufacturer made a vehicle which allows an operator to make very loud noises with it, the operator therefore has a legal right to make as much noise as he wants anywhere he wants.
And what will homeland security or the FBI get out of it after concluding that that these "dudes" are two well known talented security researchers trying to conduct responsible disclosure to make air travel safer?
Welcome to the club.

I'm using Broadlink RM4 Mini's I got off AliExpress. They've got a powerful enough IR signal that I've found I don't need them sitting way out in the open and obvious. One is tucked behind a TV and not quite in direct LoS, one is behind, but it reflects off the wall just fine, another behind a bedside table.

For the integration/Climate control thing I'm using SmartIR. Configuring it is a bit weird, you have to put it direct into the configuration.yaml file unlike other integrations.

> KCM is a TSA program that allows pilots and flight attendants to bypass security screening, even when flying on domestic personal trips.

This program seems like the root cause of the security issue.

(Outside of the US) I've often gone through security screenings just before or after crew groups in fast track, but otherwise normal security screening lanes.
> But Kagi advocating for using force to destroy its competitors is completely unacceptable to me

Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation, but that is not what the article advocates at all. The article is about what is best for the user given the circumstances, where all other proposed remedies have focused on how to hurt Google, which article argues to be counter-productive.

The ruling has already been made and a remedy will be chosen whether we agree with the ruling or not - so which one is the best for the users? The solution that is proposed in the article would actually mean increased competition in the space, including to Kagi.
Was the Lamborghini loud enough to deserve a ticket?

If so, is the owner saying it's totally not their fault, because it was that way when they bought it?
Was it presented that way though?

Judging by the timeline, it seemed like initial low rates had more to do with it being a new system, and less to do with some kind if "we will only do this to the rich" promise.

Also, they tried implementing income taxes previously, had it struck down by supreme court, then all the states got together to pass an amendment to allow income taxes. So, it was a pretty strongly supported change.

Honestly, I can get on board with "government tends to only grow in scope" point of view, I just don't think income taxes illustrate that point at all.
If you offer to give $10+ million to any health insurance company or hospital IT company, they will gladly give it to you, plus more fees for updated batches. In practice it will cost much less if you negotiate well. There also are commercial data aggregators that specialize in it, that GPT can probably name for you. (I don't want to name names here.) At multiple employers, I have worked with this data from various vendors.
I don't care because I use Firefox.
Live Aid: The Terrible Truth
Maybe I am a naive idiot, but I would assume that other agencies like the FBI provide some protection even if TSA is not great. I occasionally see notable examples, like the CIA being responsible for discovering planned attacks on the recent Taylor Swift concert in Vienna that was then canceled.
It’s interesting to me how when a Chinese company makes a great product at a great price they get accused of being too incompetent to rip their customers off with customer-hostile features like their Western brand counterparts.

But when Western companies load up their hardware with spyware and adware they are smart and savvy at business.

Isn’t this a little bit backwards? The correct statement is that Dell and HP too incompetent to make money off their computers without spying on their customers.

Maybe at some point we have to just drop the dogwhistling and admit that the Chinese hardware market is a dynamic, competitive market that seems to focus on delivering useful products to their customers rather than trying to make public shareholders happy by squeezing every last time out of them to the edge of their tolerance for such inconveniences.
i mean theres really only 2 relevant ones and the other one is because its owned by the most popular phone manufacture and is the only option. ofc we can use anything we want but in terms of real world relevance. and i guess the other one is forced by the most popular OS.
Not much cheaper as can be clearly seen in France who did go all in and is only able to keep costs reasonable (not low) by skimping on maintance.

Nuclear has received significantly more subsidies than solar or wind (in both the US and EU) and is still not viable (mind you fossils have received by far the most subsidies) .
> The meaning of words drifts in every living language.

And it does result in a lot of confusion and misunderstanding until gradually people are taught the new definitions and how they are used. There are also groups of people who deliberately and continuously redefine words because they don't want to be widely understood. Some want to develop a means to signal to and identify others within their in-group, and some want to keep outsiders from understanding them so they can speak more openly in mixed company.

> We don't have consensus around what open source means for LLMs.

There are people who will argue about what open source means for anything. It's okay that open source means different things to different people, but it does result in confusion in discussions until people make their definitions clear.

I don't think that Facebook has earned the benefit of the doubt, in fact they've more than earned our skepticism, so it's very reasonable to see their new definition of "open source" as being nothing but marketing rhetoric at best, or at worst, as an attempt to twist our still developing consensus on what open source means into something that violates the philosophy/spirit of the open source movement.
No where in the thread was the "building a server" use case defined - the subject was always-on costs. That said, an RPi Zero works perfectly fine as a pihole (DHCP + DNS server), WireGuard node, a git mirror (running Forgejo), and many more use cases that are not CPU-bound.

Obviously, Raspberry Pis, SFF boxes, workstations and rack mounted servers all occupy different niches (with some overlap). Anyone confidently stating that one could fully replace anther with no context of the workloads is wrong.
Authentication and authorization, and especially on the web, is one of those things that has never been implemented well. I hate every single piece of software, every standard, every library, every approach I have come into contact with from this domain. I am so glad I have nothing to do with this field anymore. It makes me angry even thinking about it.
I bet it's the POE part that is the issue.

They could control the whole system over POE with a bog standard usb to ethernet adapter, make the app easily run on any android device and charge the customer less for a better more reliable product, but rather than do that they rigged up some janky interface and built a custom enclosure hired out to an overseas manufacturer who bought the parts for $20 and charged the middleman $100 for them, who then charged the dealer $250 for them, who then charged the installer $600 for them, who then charged the customer $1600 for them. (Got to get that 2.5x margin on hardware every step of the way, after all!)

If they had gone with a POE system, wiring would have been cheap, replacement parts plentiful, and customer satisfaction would be sky high. Sure, you would sell fewer full systems, but to me that is a small price to pay for having the most useful and interesting systems on the market with fans creating all sorts of mods and integrations for your equipment and becoming customers for life.
But something like Reddit would be held liable for showing posts, then. Because you get shown different results depending on the subreddits you subscribe to, your browsing patterns, what you've upvoted in the past, and more. Pretty much any recommendation engine is a no-go of this ruling becomes precedence.
Heat pumps save gas even if the electricity is being produced in gas-fired power plants.
What is the point of citing theoretical values like LCOE when we have direct practical information on predicted profitability?

Energy producers in Texas are are adding 8x as much solar capacity (24 GW) as natural gas capacity (3 GW) [1] over 2024-2025. Do you believe that the entire Texas power plant industry is deliberately choosing less profitable and capital inefficient generation?

That could be the case, they may optimistically forecasted or undercounted potential future problems, but at this point in time their calculations seem to show that solar is tremendously more cost efficient to deploy over its expected lifetime.

It could also be the case that there are just subsidies for renewable energy in Texas that tip the balance. But at the scales we are now discussing, 10-20% of total energy generating capacity, the total value of those subsidies would need to be quite tremendous (in the G$ to 10 G$ per year range).

That seems the obvious result of this sort of thing.

> Related Website Sets (RWS) is a way for a company to declare relationships among sites, so that browsers allow limited third-party cookie access for specific purposes.

So the website itself gets to declare other "blessed" domains that can bypass third party cookie blocks? Big websites are constantly looking for ways to abuse users by bypassing their attempts at protecting themselves. How would anyone think these sites can be trusted not to abuse this?
If you're trying to compare Britain unfavourably to the US with this comment then that doesn't really hold up.

People are sacked all the time in the US for bringing their employer into disrepute, and it doesn't even matter whether they actually did or not, since the employer doesn't have to give a reason anyway.
They're not advocating for the destruction of competitors. They're arguing FOR competitors. Google has already been ruled an illegal monopoly, and now it's time to figure out what to do about it. Kagi is saying that rather than split up products, require the protocols to be open and usable for all. That's it.
And it's unelected.
The weight releases for LLMs are equivalent to binary releases for software. The “source code” here is the dataset, which is not disclosed.
Sounds like your account was taken over. Rotate passwords that you have in common with AirBnB.
We are very much there already, Solar and Wind are both cheaper than Natural gas which is itself is cheaper than Coal. Solar is around 5 cents a KWH whereas Nuclear is more like 15 cents a KWH. The prices of Wind and Solar are being set by Gas at the moment as well and at some point that pricing will detach once more batteries are in place.

He certainly was part of the problem, but I think that the way it was phrased originally implied he was the majority of the problem. In truth, these measures had broad support from not only our elected representatives, but from the people themselves. Turns out that people do not actually give a shit about civil liberties, and our representative democracy acted accordingly.
When people talk about bypassing the kernel, they mean taking control of TCP/IP (UDP, IPv6, ICMP, whatever) in userland; for instance, doing your own congestion control algorithm, or binding to every port on an address all at once, or doing your own routing --- all things the kernel doesn't expose interfaces for. They usually don't mean you're literally not using the kernel for anything.

There are near-total bypass solutions, in which the bulk of the code is the same as you'd use with this WireGuard bypass, where ultra-high performance is the goal, and you're wiring userland up to get packets directly to and from the card DMA rings. That's a possible thing to do too, but you basically need to build the whole system around what you're doing. The WireGuard thing you can do as an unprivileged user --- that is, you can ship an application to your users that does it, without them having to care.

Long story short: sometimes this is about perf, here though not so much.
There is a basis in UK law for freedom of speech (most recently, Article 10 of the Human Rights act). It's true that protections for free speech are not as extensive in the UK as they are in the US, but the US is the outlier in that case. Very few countries have free speech protections as strong as the First Amendment.
That's of course the stupidest possible domain for a government website. (Or at least it's up there)

Fundamentally, it has given control over the DNS records to a different country (.me == Montenegro).

It's training people that really, any domain could be a government domain, you'll never know.
The main reason "strategic voting" is a big deal when evaluating ranked-choice voting systems is that they actually experience spoiler effects (which more or less follows from Arrow's theorem, no amount of epicycles will totally mitigate them). Approval voting essentially pulls the bottom out of the two most impactful forms of strategic voting by satisfying independence of irrelevant alternatives and structurally enforcing use of the full range.

> Let's take the 3 person example and assume I like candidates A, B, C, in that order. With RCV, I would just rank them in that order. With approval voting, I might want to withold my approval for the most popular opponent to A, in order to boost A's chances of winning.

In a 3-candidate election, the bullet vote for A is not a strategic ballot, it honestly expresses your preference A > B,C. It would be strategic to vote A,C (instead of A,B,C), but it turns out that in elections of up to 3 (relevant) candidates, one of the honest ballots is always optimal.

(This is not to dismiss the impact of voting "for A" vs "against C", because that does matter. But there's a real trade-off there if you aren't fully informed on other voters' (adversarial!) ballots to discourage being the first to actually run that campaign unless you're sure you have a genuine majority.)
don't let children use?
In TN it that will be illegal Jan 1 - unless social media creates a method for parents to provide ID and opt out of them being blocked I think?

Wouldn't that put the responsibility back on the parents?

The state told you XYZ was bad for your kids and it's illegal for them to use, but then you bypassed that restriction and put the sugar back into their hands with an access-blocker-blocker..

Random wondering
Understood. The landing page so far is taking a back seat relative to making the product better for our early customers, which I'm sure you can appreciate. We hope to open source components of the product. In the mean time are there specific parts of the technical approach that you'd like us to see better described?
Security Theatre 3000... keeping us entertained
fair point, and i think i can appreciate more where you are coming from now.

however i do not think the alternatives need to be proposed at this moment in time because right now, the discussion is about holding people who intentionally reframe and misuse words accountable for their "double-speak" given the term's precedent.

conventionally, and by historical collective understanding, it is not open source.

i get you are attempting to highlight AI perhaps means this should be a definition reconsidered, but the irony here is the message itself is distorted due to the conflation, hence why consistency in language to me seems self-evident as a net good.

there is most certainly a difference between naturally occurring (which our brains reeeally support in terms of language development and symbolic communication), and manufactured (and therefore pushing for a word, or more aptly, a perspective's adoption).

i'd rather words manifest through a common need to reach mutual understanding as a means to relate to one another and this world, rather than having someone who stands to benefit from the change in definition, tell me what it means, and then expect me to just "agree", while they campaign around that and pretend it's the established definition (and not actually their own revised version).

it'd be one thing if people who were throwing the term around so loosely would be transparent: "Hey, we know this isn't historically what everyone means by OSS, but... that's OSS your OSS this is OSS, everything is OSS

instead a lot of these narratives are standing on the shoulders of the original definition and context of what it means to be OSS, and therefore the pedigree, implications (and whatever else for PR spin/influence), and simultaneously diluting what it means in the process as the definition gets further and further obfuscated by those influencing the change, and its pedigree is relied on as a distraction away from what is being done, or actually said.
SDs and eMMC also usually have the same feature as the famous IBM “DeathStar” HDDs from the 00's: the thing gets completely hosed when it loses power when write is in progress.

I do not have exact statistics but I believe that this is the most common failure mode of SD cards in embedded systems that we supply (but a friend who works for certain ARM and PowerPC SoC vendor told me that he has statistics that disprove my theory, so take that with a grain of salt).
Of course they require that.

Now, why wasn't the requirement enforced? Or why didn't the audit turn this up? Good questions.

But all of those are going to have some kind of requirement, e.g. FedRAMP.
The attack on net metering isn't unfortunate; what's unfortunate is that people thought net metering ever made any sense. It's free riding on services provided by the grid, forcing others (who don't have PV) to pay for cost of providing those services. As PV rolled out, the craziness of net metering became impossible to ignore. Of course, those feeding at this trough objected loudly, and some naively fell for those objections.
> make a legal requirement that patients (and sometimes other stakeholders) can demand the data/logic behind the company decisions.

Huh. This is already available, and it never works in the interest of the patient. Unless one has expensive attorneys, no individual has the time and patience to jump through all the hoops needed to get it to work. The point is to eliminate friction completely.

I do reiterate that scheduled data+logic exports from the government would alternatively also help, allowing the execution to similarly be replayed. A problem with a scheduled export, however, is that a corrupt state government will gladly change your records for you (in their favor) when you go to court. This is more difficult to do with a blockchain.
Yes. For a detailed (verbal) analysis, see Patio11's podcast (also featuring Casey Handmer quoted in this article): https://www.complexsystemspodcast.com/episodes/solar-economi...
In what sense were they over-optimistic?

The OP said "I also remember around 1975 getting all excited about solar and getting told that costs were dropping so fast that in five years solar would be cheaper than power produced from coal or natural gas."

That would mean PV cost parity with coal-generated electricity in the early 1980s. Actual PV cost declines have been remarkable but they didn't go that quickly.
What's great about this is that instead of covering up the issue, Henry's behaviour has caused it to blow up and become way more visible. I certainly hadn't heard about any of this until reading OP.
Verizon is going to launch satellite messaging this fall
search: site:4chan.org news.ycombinator.com

Seems pretty sparse to me, and from a casual perusal, I haven't seen any actual calls to raiding anything here, it's more of a reference where articles/posts have happened, and people talking about them.

Remember, not everyone who you disagree with comes from 4chan, some of them probably work with you, you might even be friends with them, and they're perfectly serviceable people with lives, hopes, dreams, same as yours, they simply think differently than you.
