Eh. I've bought some from a boutique quality down sleeping bag/comforter manufacturer. They've been great and have lasted decades.
Mostly I get verified by services or receive OTP via email as I've been doing since 1997.

I can receive most texts just fine with Skype but some services will refuse to send a verification text to a VoIP number. I guess they look you up in some API and find you're VoIP or there is some flag when they send an SMS that prevents sending to a VoIP IP. I can understand quite well that they don't want to deal with people who create large numbers of smurf accounts about I have had my Skype number for ten years or so.

As an aside I'll note: (1) it's a disappointment to me that Skype doesn't have competition as a consumer-oriented VoIP provider as Skype has its share of enshittification problems like the messages from pig butchering scammers, an attempt to spam me with news about Donald Trump and such, etc. (2) My son does have an AT&T phone which can allegedly call and text over WiFi. It works sometimes but is nowhere near as reliable as Skype.
The syntax leaves a bad first impression. I'm getting flashbacks to Java EE/JAX-RS days.
My prediction: after Linus dies linux will be like Yugoslavia after Tito.
hmm, i think what matters for hard-real-time performance is the worst-case number though, the wcet, not the best or average case number. not the worst-case number for some other system that is using power management, of course, but the worst-case number for the actual system that you're using. it sounds like you're saying it's hard to guarantee a number below a microsecond, but that a microsecond is still within reach?

osamagirl69 (⸘‽) seems to be saying in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41596304 that they couldn't get better than 10μs, which is an order of magnitude worse
It appears to have been produced by a right wing think tank, justifying its seeming lack of focus on how public funds could help build infrastructure vs the author's seeming obsession with private financing.
Usually the arbitrage is a mirage (though sometimes it's real). Many times there are hidden taxes in the form of government bribery and special red tapes that requires paying the relevant parties. You only find out this stuff when you start doing business as the details are not included in the manual.
Why did they have to be checked all at once? That sounds like a design or regulation problem.

Since the late 70s, policy changes and the modern management movement have caused worker pay to drop in real terms. Cut forward another decade or so and the entire retail landscape discovers people can no longer afford their products.
For those that run systems with zfs, sanoid makes this fairly trivial to configure on a per-dataset basis. It's saved me more than once.

Yeah it did make me chuckle. I’m guessing products like elasticsearch support all the classic text matching algos out of the box anyway?

I haven't dug into it, but coming from an RF background I'd bet the signals differ enough (frequency, pulse width, pulse duration, scan type, etc) that a filter could be applied.
If you have many right hand sides, you could also compute an LU factorization and then solve the right hand sides via back-substitution.

Is there a good UI for this? I want to love OpenAPI but for complex JSON i've found OpenAPI UI's to be unusable. At this point i'd hand write my API specifications if it meant i could have a useful UI.
I think what most people don't realize is that fission is not a nice chemical reaction with defined inputs and outputs.

Fission creates an entire spectrum of elements with different radioactive profiles and nastiness.

To handle it and separate out the useful stuff is incredibly complex and expensive. Reprocessing has never been worth simply because of this.

A huge chunk of C's problems in the wild is due to the unfortunate string conventions and library. Just fixing that alone, would make C much more robust in practice. Imagine a libc with actually sane strings, and a tiny tweak to the language so "some string" produces such a sane string, whatever it may be. Maybe an extension could be @"sane string".
It is a bit easier, at least. My almost 90 year old Mom now knows to be suspicious of email and to not believe email unless she has a reason to think she should be getting it.

To be fair about setting up a Pihole or some other form of DNS filtering, that's something that the network administrator should do, not individual users. It's a shame that it's still not trivial - companies that make NAT routers resist building in things that they don't completely control, so a configuration page for Pihole in your NAT router's web interface likely isn't coming soon. I hope that changes.

Mom also understands that someone taking over her Nextdoor account would be a nuisance, whereas someone taking over her banking account would be significantly more problematic, so the more important something is, the more time she'll take to ascertain its authenticity.

I practice explaining these things because I do it often. One interesting observation is that Mom believes me, so she does the things I suggest, whereas younger people think they know better, so they generally don't put much energy in to my suggestions. I'm working on ways of showing people that they're not necessarily safe because they're "doing the same things they've always done, and nothing bad has happened yet".
Modern TV interfaces are way better at navigating 1000 channels, but whether or not having 1000 channels available through one TV interface is highly debatable. It's also not a given that the current way most TVs use is anywhere close to the optimal one (especially when you have multiple devices that all have to work together because the cable provider insists on their own box, made even worse when a helpful family member installs a sound system with its own dedicated remote).
The economic system is not set in stone. If everyone is irrelevant to it, the economic system becomes irrelevant to everyone, and a parallel system gradually replaces it.
But all those huge tariffs are about to kick in though and skyrocket prices so that adoption curve is going to be slowing down, a lot, at least in the US

And those are not tariffs from the previous administration, that's the current one, under the guise that it will increase American production/sales, which it won't because the US can't compete with nearly free slave labor and the manufacturing barely even exists here.
Cost is one aspect, but what about ingest time? You’re adding significant processing time to your pipeline with this method right?

And there are large parts of the country with open roads and low traffic. I’ve been in places in the southwest where you could see another car coming for miles, if there had been one, and there wasn’t. The roads were level and clear. There was no safety-related reason to strictly obey the speed limit, but heaven help you if you get stopped.

Doing 95 in Oakland? Take the car and crush it for all I car. Doing 95 out in the middle of nowhere with no one or nothing but yourself to hurt? Don’t let me stop you.

They speak in term of raw energy, carried by the photons the sun sends us. If we had 100% efficient solar panels and covered the entire earth with them we'd get 173,000 terrawatts of electrical power.
Originally this project also advertised support for GraphQL, but never implemented it: https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/issues/1390

Would be compelling to have a way to represent both OpenAPI and GraphQL in a common upstream schema...
From the previews I'm guessing this isn't going to be any use for 3d scanning?
What's messing with people's heads when it comes to predicting solar is the perfectly rational tendency to base projections on past and current data. I think it qualifies as a black swan event for this reason.
Came here to post this. We use Django Ninja at work (basically FastAPI style endpoints for Django), and it automatically does OpenAPI and Swagger docs for us. Whatever web framework one chooses in whichver language should def have this built-in by now, IMO, seems like tablestakes for anything larger than a "micro-framework"
>> They weren’t different enough from the British population to have any noticeable effect

>You have a very odd view of life in the UK if you believe this.

If all 250,000 Britons in the UAE returned to the UK in the next three months I would expect it to have no noticeable effect a year from now. By the same token I wouldn’t expect much from 100,000 Brits moving from India to the UK in 1947. West Indian migration starting in the 1960s or Ugandan Indians in the 1970s are movements of people who are genuinely different in important ways.

Those had no great effect on the civil service culture either.
Reprocessing fuel has several benefits. The first is sorting and reducing the volume of waste. Dry casks are an easy solution: the entire fuel assembly is buried.

It is possible to separate the fuel pellets from the zircalloy tubes to reduce storage volumes.

The next step is the reprocessing of spent fuel to separate depleted uranium, plutonium and minor actinides. It is generally this solution that poses a few problems, as plutonium separation techniques can be misused for nuclear proliferation.

The plutonium extracted from spent fuel assemblies is not of sufficient quality for military use. It can be reused in MOX fuel. But not all pressurised water power plants are compatible.

At present, civil reprocessing fuel capacities are insufficient. The La Hague plant has its pools full and is sending some of the fuel to Seversk in Russia. But this agreement came to an end with the war in Ukraine.
Awesome work, love to see the effort on the technical front of bringing a language into broader use!
It does seem as though the training cost of these models ought to be included in their times, because the compressors are useless for any purpose other than compressing English Wikipedia.
My (old) E36 BMW had a switched multi-element array in the rear glass that served as the FM antenna.

It had a magic box that used feedback from the stock radio's IF section to (try to) erect the best pattern for good reception at any given time, and which presented one unified RF output to that radio's singular input.

Cadillac has used the same, or very similar, system as well.

Which is neat and all, I guess, but we seem to be getting off into the weeds: These antenna elements were not invisible at all except for the fact that they blended in with the heated defroster elements that were also printed onto the glass.
It is evolutionary. Who wants to put children in this world? It is not only the high cost of everything and relative job insecurity, it is also environmental issues and risks of war, etc., that makes many women not to want children. Then the next step is, not to want to be too associated with men. Then the next step is, to remain amongst themselves. It's the evolution, stupid.
I'm still dealing daily with webp. I get a link to one and post the link, and the site does not render it.

That’s a good question! I didn’t know about Sideberry—it looks really interesting, and I’ll definitely check it out in more detail.

I agree, many users stick to one browser. My goal with cross-platform support is to eventually make TabDock available to more users, but for now, it’s only available on Chrome and browsers that support Chrome Web Store extensions.

In terms of how it compares, TabDock doesn’t just store your tabs in a list. The core idea is that you track entire windows, so if you make changes, your saved workspaces update automatically with the auto-save option or manually with the save button. This allows you to quickly switch between projects and only have the windows open that you’re actively working on. That’s probably the main difference, and I’ve also added some extra features like a cool new tab page, a Kbar, and searchbar commands to boost productivity.

I’m always open to feedback and ideas for improvement!
Improved error handling in CHERIoT RTOS

Not just SaaS stuff. Displaying logos to imply endorsement is a common thing across the board. It's purely a marketing move, and as with all marketing moves, you can't trust any of it.
I'd go and double check whether the sensors in your bumpers aren't laser jammers.

The Escort Max Ci 360 (not sure if there is a non-360 version) has laser jammers, and that is what those modules are in the front and rear bumper.

Radar is easy to detect, but illegal to jam.

Laser is very hard to detect (unless you go faster than speed of light), but legal to jam.

I have wondered this for years since the price for 200W panels stayed pretty flat for half a decade or more. Around $1/watt.

It turns out that these calculations are for utility scale purchases. You need to be buying thousands of panels to realize them.

That being said, I have noticed in the last year or so that you can find some pretty good individual panel deals, closer to $0.5/watt.
Edson de Castro (Data General as in Soul of a New Machine). But you could name just about any luminary from important commercial computer companies from that era and it would be the same story. The computer industry just wasn't in the public spotlight at that time.

Another approach I saw is to build a conceptual graph using entity extraction and have the LLM suggest search paths through that graph to enhance the retrieval step. The LMM is fine-tuned on the conceptual graph for this specific task. Could work in your case, but you need to deal with an ontology that suits your use case, in other words it must already contain restaurant location, type of dishes served and opening hours.

The three top countries by electrical generation emissions are currently the US, China, and India. While the tariffs are inefficient from a decarbonization perspective, China and India have enough energy demand that they should be able to sink most of the solar and battery production coming out of China. The US, in due time, will catch up.

Ditto with batteries. I very frequently see people talk about batteries with notions from the 2000s about expense and manufacturing capability.

Batteries have become dirt cheap to make and we are very quickly getting to the point where the power electronics are actually the more expensive part of a battery deployment rather than the battery capacity itself.
What do you think is the "real" version of understanding which brains do, and where / how do you think brains do it?
That’s already the case at grid scale in more expensive markets like California. We’ve been supplementing night time power generation with batteries for years now.

Between 5 and 10pm yesterday, batteries supplied more than twice the power that our nuclear reactors did: https://www.caiso.com/todays-outlook/supply

The grid has become so expensive due to the cost of fire proofing infrastructure that residential installs are a no-brainer if you can find someone to do the install for a reasonable price. DIY is even cheaper.
Thank you for the correction. It doesn't come with the GNU Affero General Public License, and the GPL family of licenses are very specifically designed for code.

> You may license other files that are entirely your own work and do not contain code from the software under any terms you choose.

This part confuses me a bit, as the distinction between storing all the code in the same file versus dividing it into separate files is fairly arbitrary. What happens if you have 3 files in your project, one of which contains licensed code, and then zip them together into a single archive for distribution?

The AI space seems to have weird overlaps with nuclear that I don't quite get.

Not sure if it's just the social circles the AI people run in.

Zuckerberg was all excited on a podcast about how energy was the limiting factor for AI, waited for him to say something about how cheap and fast rollouts of renewables made sense but no, nuclear. Even this refurb is talking minimum 4 years to get going. All very strange.
The collision avoidance, adaptive cruse, and blind spot sensors caused a lot of false alerts with the old (analog) V1 design. The new V1 (Gen 2) design has resolved the false alert issue. I got my V1-Gen2 in 2020 and it has been a big improvement over the Gen1.
> So am I now exposed to other people using Python on the roads to operate heavy machinery?

yes in the sense that python is running the ML models and deciding what the vehicle should do, but it is heavily bounded in what it can do by the safety model which is implemented in bare-metal MISRA C running on the microcontroller that interfaces between openpilot and the CAN bus (panda). It enforces things like accel/braking limits and steering rate limits along with consistency checks, heartbeats, vehicle status checks, etc.

Level 2 self driving is already only a best effort system so if python caused an issue it would just fall back to the safety model on the panda and ultimately the driver to operate the vehicle safely.

Grocery store motion sensors for automatic doors seem to blast constantly like police sources so those are tough (but primarily X band, which is getting rare for police depending on the area, so ignoring X is an option). But car safety systems are bursty (maybe to reduce power consumption / heat dissipation?), so good detectors are able to filter based on such pulse signatures, basically just delaying the determination to alert by about half a second to see how constant the source is.
I don’t mean Apple but other parties
In my region of the world(Eastern Europe) I've seen monocrystalline solar panels in stores for the equivalent $0.25/W, which is crazy considering that electricity here is around $0.20/kWh.

I could use only a quarter of the generated energy and still break even on the panels in 5 years.
