I kept thinking Microsoft needs to port a windows version for their handheld, doesn't want to use steamos, but also needs to work with 'interesting' hardware. Their answer would be a linux port imo, but having too much there could annoy trust regulators so they divested from mono. but I had zero proof for any of these hunches.
Oh that is interesting!.. and indeed I did consider doing a 'hash compression' where I would generate offsets to numbers that might be similar, then do direct comparison on those ones that are similar.

I'll take a crack at doing this - It could certainly be an improvement and would just be fun to try out.

I assume this means accessibility is roughly zero. I'm sure it was a ton of fun for the engineers to write with something exciting and new, but the downsides of using a half-baked UI framework are significant.

I tried Halloy [1], an IRC client that's listed as the first showcase app on Iced's site. It's pretty, but it doesn't even support triple-click selection or context menus. There is no menubar on macOS.

Iced is very nice for an upstart UI framework - I don't want to minimize the amount of work that they've put into it, and how cool it is that they've gotten so far - but shipping a desktop environment based on it is shortsighted.

CRQBench: A Benchmark of Code Reasoning Questions
Imagemagick doesn't solve this particular problem. My goal here is to process an image so I can use it on my blog. I want to find the right balance between image size and visible quality - since images on my blog have a maximum size, I can often get away with a lower quality JPEG because it well be effectively treated as a "retina" image.

But to make that decision, I need to see the images. I could run a bash script to generate those images in a bunch of different qualities and then view them with some kind of image viewer, but that's extra steps - and it involves creating a bunch of temporary files that I then need to clean up.

With the web version I can snap a screenshot with CleanShot X and then drag that screenshot straight onto the web page. I instantly see the different images, pick one that looks good to me, download that and then drag it into my S3 uploading software (Transmit).

All of that said... if I was going to prototype this with imagemagick I would 100% use an LLM for that, too. I don't remember the imagemagick flags for this kind of thing; ChatGPT and Claude know those flags already.

Yes, but that is not the reason:

Parisians Are Choosing Bikes over Cars. Will New Yorkers Do That, Too?
I 100% agree - I just wanted to add that processed food also plays a huge role. Our ancestors didn't eat canned fish dipped in high calorie oils or snacks / junk food with no fiber. White bread is used commonly throughout many households but whole-grains are a lot healthier. Eating food which has a high degree of high fructose corn-syrup or sugar with no added fiber has a detrimental effect on health and is not something that our bodies are used to. The high-glycemic index spikes our bodies go through when you combine these factors does a ton of damage to our health and yes - I believe it does have a role in triggering auto-immune reactions. Type 1 diabetics as an example are diabetic due to their own immune systems falsely labelling the pancreas beta-cells as enemies and triggering an auto-immune response -- the reason I believe this happens is due to the high-inflammatory reaction our pancreas go through when we eat extremely highly processed foods (i.e. high sugar / glycemic index items with high insulin spikes & lacking fiber). I don't have a lot of data to prove any of this - so this is my hypothesis but I can confirm that ever since I started staying away from processed foods, I've been in amazing health and I feel much better than when I was slightly over-weight and consuming processed junk.

Brutalism - béton brut ("raw concrete") and art brut ("raw art") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture

Though the common modern understanding of it does lend itself to 'brute'. I think one of the real issues was the post WWII era of 1950s to 1980s was a time of focus on low cost construction with an overconfidence in the forgiving nature of concrete combined with a fair amount of corruption in the factory supplied components - at least in the UK which I'm more familiar with.

It can be done well, and I point to the Barbican in London as an example. With better construction techniques it can last a lot longer with less maintenance cost.

To clarify my previous post, asymmetric routing is strictly an L3 behavior, and ECMP routing can also be an L3 behavior where a router chooses one of many equal-cost next hops based purely on data in the IP headers. The exact behavior of course depends on the ECMP load-balancing algorithm in use, whether it's per packet, per destination, or using a hash. And furthermore whether it's strictly IP or if it looks deeper into the packet and uses L3+L4 headers in its decision making.

Both asymmetric routing and ECMP routing are visible from L3. In the latter case, the routing decision can utilize some L4 data, so some L4 frobbing to get useful data points in practice is necessary for useful real-world diagnosis.

I agree with others that the OSI model is a good metaphor and a framework for reasoning about networking, but it is far from perfect, and the reality for those designing and operating network protocols and devices is messy.

MPLS is admittedly invisible and there isn't a thing you can do about it in the same way that you can't expect traceroute to give you a view of the switch ports it went through on a LAN. Of course it is useful to understand and keep in mind the fact that there may be, sometimes huge, gaps in your traceroutes. A sudden huge jump in RTT from one hop to the next can be confusing when trying to understand and troubleshoot a network issue.
This specific charge was not of a person wearing a health-related face-covering, but the law is supposedly motivated by the supposed anonymity of people wearing masks at pro-Palestine protests:

> The push to ban masks in some public settings began in June after some pro-Palestinian demonstrators covered their faces during protests.

... and often at those protests, people do wear KN95 and similar masks. In those contexts (dense crowds of people shouting) on its face wearing a mask for health-related reasons does not seem outlandish. And some organizers, specifically trying to make events accessible to people with elevated risks, have advocated masking so they can have more people participate. So while this particular person was wearing a ski-mask, I think it's disingenuous on your part to pretend that mask-bans aren't related to health-related masking.

I call BS. Even in perfect weather on perfect roads with perfect visibility, 400 miles is at least 10 times as long as FSD can go without a disengagement.

Pro tip: avoid buying expensive electronics or power tools on Amazon. For instance, Amazon is not a distributor for Milwaukee power tools. Milwaukee will honor the date of manufacture stamp for the warranty, but not the date of purchase from Amazon. I bought a ‘new’ Milwaukee power tool off Amazon which had a manufacturer date of three years ago. Another “new” tool was obviously used. Milwaukee will however honor the date of purchase if bought from Home Depot, which is an official distributor.

Amazon still has a huge problem with its third party vendors. We got screwed with several ‘new’ Lenovo laptops that went belly up in six months. And I don’t believe Amazon has fully sorted out their SKU problem where third party vendors launder used products with new. If you see something cheap on Amazon, there’s almost always a reason.

The symbols I'm discussing were first documented by Claude Shannon. When I'm discussing symbols or large circuits I consider them interchangeable views of the same thing. They represent each other.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Shannon

I'm actually a designer so if I wanted to describe them as instructions I easily could. I'm a stickler for language so I believe that the use of the term instructions limits the conversation because it is too specific to communicate what I'm thinking about.

I would say an early example local symbol development might be libC. Our current computing environment evolved from the Personal Computing revolution and the internet. This came about through commercial interests and public adoption. I see this development as reaffirming the ideals first proposed by the "mother of all demos".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mother_of_All_Demos

What I consider a "local" symbol is being demonstrated by Apple with their on device ML. The highest ideal to me is that everyone develops their own personal symbol table of digital services. I see CHERI as offering the fast track to that type of computing. I see this a integrating rather than programming.

About one year ago, after terrible customer service from a major UPS vendor, I decided that I was now only ever purchasing backup batteries from CostCo: their "lifetime satisfaction warranty" means I don't have to deal with OEM return processes (IMHO) designed to prevent claims submissions (e.g. return shipping fees; questions designed to invalidate your warranty).
I built a tool for that back in March: https://simonwillison.net/2024/Mar/26/llm-cmd/

llm cmd use imagemagick to convert goats.jpg into four different JPEG qualities

I ran that just now and it suggested:

convert goats.jpg -quality 10 goats_quality_10.jpg && \
convert goats.jpg -quality 30 goats_quality_30.jpg && \
convert goats.jpg -quality 50 goats_quality_50.jpg && \
convert goats.jpg -quality 90 goats_quality_90.jpg

Which, sure enough, produced me a bunch of different quality images!
Yep, we can warehouse directly to your database which makes it secure by default. It's your data and we're never going to train on top of your logs. Plus there's no data abstraction when you want to switch between models or fine-tune your own models.
They do release data on interventions in CA during autonomous testing with safety drivers [1][2][3] (distinct from driverless testing). As a ADS system under test, they are legally required to unlike Tesla who characterizes their system as a ADAS and thus absolves them of any responsibility for robust data collection or reporting.

Their numbers indicate ~17,000 miles between any safety driver disengagement. Tesla does not release comparable data, but the highly pro-Tesla biased community-reported numbers[4] average ~42 miles between disengagements.

I have not used Coolify before, but after looking at their docs I would say LaunchFlow is somewhere between Coolify and Terraform / Pulumi.

Similar to Terraform / Pulumi: you can define nearly any AWS / GCP resource with a line of Python code, then deploy it across all of your environments with the CLI.

Similar to Coolify: all of your environment-level configuration (networking, permissions, etc) is handled for you, but you can always customize the underlying Terraform modules with Python (or bring your own custom Terraform).

The environment abstraction makes it really easy to switch between cloud services. Most of the teams using LaunchFlow will use serverless deployments for dev environments, then switch to VMs / Kuberenetes in prod for better performance / pricing.

People are up in arms about this and the "stifling of free speech," but it seems like there is only one sentence in this article that really matters:

Am I the only one who thinks that if you are a global company operating in a country and you refuse to comply with a lawful subpoena in that country, no one should be surprised when you get arrested? If they cannot comply, due to encryption, or a lack of logging, that may be a different story. But no one has stated or implied that anywhere I have seen.
> How did we get here?

> I couldn't disagree more. My development process has always started with prototypes, and the speed at which I can get a proof-of-concept prototype up and running with these tools is quite frankly absurd.

I do agree. But I think people is focusing on speed as if it was the only important thing to measure. It may be for some people-in-suites, but what about professionals?

A friend of mine who had minor knowledge about internet (used to do wbesites in HTML with iframes back with Dreamweaver) was able to deploy a PHP app using GPT. Great! It saved him a lot of time. Now I asked him if he understood or was able to do a change and he told me that he mostly did copy and paste and asked GPT to change things for him.

Not saying GPT is going to dissappear and no one is able to maintain this, because that sounds silly, but even with GPT at your side, it's improtant to understand what's happening in case you need to do a change.

Two notes, before anyone jump to this: I am not talking about simonw particular case, he seems a developer who knows his way around Python and could do all of this by himself, it's just saving his time.

Secondly, probably in the future a LLM will be much better at coding and will be able to fix or improve your code even if you don't understand it and will be able to do an startup from zero, scale it, deploy servers, etc. Who knows?
I dunno what to tell you. It did it. A disengagement every 40 miles is not what I’m seeing on my car.

(By the way, this is part of the reason Tesla owners get called Elon-worshipers: we see the sentiment in places like this, it doesn’t line up with the reality we’re seeing every day, and trying to correct the discrepancy comes across as worship. It’s not, it’s just that it seems like something other than truth is driving these conversations.)

I feel that simple lane-keeping is different. I mean, that's all Autopilot is: Traffic aware cruise control and automatic lane keeping. That's all it is. It does not navigate. It does not obey stop signs, traffic lights, etc. It won't even change lanes.

Technically, yes, AP requires babysitting, but it's at an entirely different level from FSD on city streets. Highway driving requires less attention than city driving. You're mostly keeping eyes forward with the occasional check of your mirrors. City driving requires lots of looking around, more turns, more lane changes, and overall just a greater awareness of what's happening around you. When driving on FSD on city streets, you still need to keep that heightened awareness, so it's useless.

Highway driving is just drudgery. Maintaining speed and a lane. AP removes the drudgery. Babysitting it just means making sure it doesn't suddenly decide to swerve or abruptly change speed, whereas babysitting FSD means doing the exact same checks for oncoming cars and traffic signals that the car is doing.
Police, EMS, fire service, and military use them. The laptops are often mounted inside of the vehicles and need to withstand a fair amount of bumping around. A lot of them also specifically include RS232 ports to interface with industrial equipment as well.

I daily used a semi rugged for a while for shits and giggles. Actually wasn't bad to lug around, it had an inbuilt handle made it easy. And there was very little guilt about quickly slamming the lid shut so moving it around from place to place was actually easier then you'd think.
I don't believe commingling is customer visible. That said, as I understand it, Sellers can opt-out.

FWIW, while "counterfeit", technically Amazon doesn't consider commingling to be Brand related abuse which is what I worked on. Abuse of commingling would be handled by other systems related to Seller fraud.

No, it just needs some time and effort, and you need a good lawyer (I remember lcamtuf writing about it on his blog). You just need a residence (even if it's a coach (or basement) at your friend's) in a country for a few years; you need to visit periodically and ensure your lawyer is advancing your case. 3-5 years later (depending on the country, of course), you get citizenship and a passport. It's absolutely doable without too much of an effect on your financials if you work in tech or a similarly well-paid job. If you do this consistently over the years, you'd have 3-4 passports by your forties. Unfortunately, people under forty rarely seem to think that far ahead. I'm personally starting to really worry about retirement, but I'm too old and too ill now to jump ship like that...
