When I stayed in London half a year ago, we overnighted in the Limehouse area, at the edge / outside of the ULEZ.

I can tell from experience there is a big difference in the air. In that area it smelled like exhaust and smog, while the center had no such thing.

When I reflect on it, I feel that the less affluent areas have been left out to dry / rot in the exhaust. While the upper class city center is now pristine.
A bit less terrible way in my opinion:

Find a dedicated server provider and rent the hardware. These companies rent some part of the datacenter (or sometimes build their own). Bonus points if they offer KVM - as in remote console, not the Linux hypervisor. Also ask if they do hardware monitoring and proactively replace the failed parts. All of this is still way cheaper than cloud. Usually with unmetered networking.

Way less hassle. They'll even take your existing stuff and put it into the same rack with the rented hardware.

The difference from cloud, apart from the price, is mainly that they have a sales rep instead of an API. And getting a server may take a from few hours to a few days. But in the end you get the same SSH login details you would get from a cloud provider.

Or, if you really want to just collocate your boxes, the providers offer "remote hands" service, so you can have geo-redundancy or just choose a better deal instead of one that's physically close to your place.
> It’s some kind of influence effort. Maybe even Russian.

Russians are amateurs compared to proper "influence efforts" like, for example https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/r/rk-ro/ross-clark/ :

> Why are the BBC weather maps on fire? Is it none too subtle climate propaganda?

> Electric cars are a Trojan horse for the destruction of driving

> Net zero now threatens our national security

> The heat pump fantasy is dead – only our blinkered elites haven’t noticed

> The Brexit revolt is spreading across Europe – and the Brussels elites are terrified

Oh, yes, and:

> Lazy Britain now needs to be paid to get back to the office - Slashing Friday travel fares is the wrong way to fix our entitled, WFH, unproductive workforce

All these are real "thought pieces" in a real British broadsheet, if you can believe it...
I really wonder if there's a tribal / psychological effect of this kind and if not having to play the submissive / adoration dance made people more interested in practical information passing. Saying this because a few articles mentioned that some full remote teams were much much more effective at actual work, spreading data so that everybody could find solutions or continue work right away.
Netanyahu had far less political power in 2001, and Israelis still elected, multiple times, people pursuing peace. Even very hawkish leaders like Sharon and Olmert eventually took steps towards peace, up until 2007 or so.

So Netanyahu may have talked a big game, but his POV wasn't winning at that time.

Of course, that all changed when he came into power and stayed there for the last 15 years. But part of the reason he originally won, and continues to win, is because the left has been so thoroughly discredited.
Advantages of Using Microsoft Power Platform for Your Business
The borderline conspiracy theories on this are odd. If you're a manager, having a remote team is just harder.

It can still work well with a certain type of people, people who are self directed and take pride in their work, but let's not fool ourselves into believing that's the only kind.
This is the conclusion I have come to as well. So much of what happens in society can be best explained (imo) by human psychology and our relationship with ego, desire, perceived success etc.
ngl this is pretty pathetic. the massive security hole is one thing but you're just gonna gloss over violating your own privacy policy?
As a fully capable person I can't stand being waited on. For me the peak ordering experience is I choose an item from some written menu with prices on it, ask for said item and pay exactly the price written on the menu. Then I either take item immediately or come to collect it later to take it to the table myself.

When I want to leave I just get up and go without the stupid ask to know how much I need to pay then ask again to actually pay with expectation that I pay more than what was asked like it's my choice to pay but really it isn't.
It has also become quite easy when sanding a UI to provide code to an LLM and describe something like a click deadzone and it can usually fix it immediately without you needing to investigate it. The missing piece is really just the glue between the browser, coding environment and LLM. I know a bunch of YC startups are working on this but nothing has really worked well for me. Please recommend anything you are using that does in fact provide this type of glue...
> The market is sending a clear signal that it values the app at zero dollars

Oh but those are very different things

An app that people would pay $0 is still more valuable (and might I say, a lot more valuable) than an app that people wouldn't install for free

Multicore is a pretty big functional difference. Like attaching an automobile to a wheel lets you have three more wheels.
From the title, I thought this was going to be about a very big QR code (presumably with a comically long URL).
It's a known fact that in many situations they already have both sides as customers and play them against each other.

They absolutely have the power to move the chess pieces on both sides to guarantee an outcome.

Don't do what I did and put a Cisco router on a remote mountaintop radio site with the config register still set to 0x2142, and then go home.
Reality doesn’t care about your beliefs
The conspiracy theories are frequently based on the optimistic idea that the world is under somebody's control. Mind you, it's a bad control, but the idea is still optimistic because we can theoretically have a revolution and put it under "good" control.

The reality is much more depressing -- nobody is in the control. Not the Illuminati, not the Jewish bankers, and not the C-level executives conspiring to force RTO to maximize their investments in the (unrelated) commercial real estate. These all are just conspiracy theories.
Yes. Because who at the "company" does even know about this? Maybe just some coder who wrote it. But the legally liable CEO? Maybe not.
Prompt design library using JSX
No, that's the most inconvenience you can cause. There are worse things you can do: target specific people with spurious orders, cancel everything they order, or if you want add random items to every order, making the entire system useless.
Now, that went rogue quite fast and easily. I still find it confusing when some dev opt for the "let's not think about security, tokens, POST requests and whatever".

I am sure some companies using that service will ask for more closed doors before everyone can lookup their revenues. That's one big example of a non technical vulnerability based on a 101 technical principle.
I like to scan the "specialized" bar/QR codes I come across in my daily life in case they're not just URLs. Sometimes I find some interesting stuff and possibly some opportunities for mild exploits.

The other day I was at burger king. They allow you to refill your drink as many times as you like within 60 minutes of purchasing it, and the way this restriction is implemented is by having you scan a QR code they print on your receipt at the drink machine. I scanned the QR code with Binary Eye (android app that reads all sorts of barcodes, highly recommended). It contained some numbers I couldn't immediately recognize as interesting, a timestamp in a format similar to 202409231049, and a UUID.

Now, the UUID is probably the ID of the order in their internal system, so the question is: does the drink machine only read the timestamp or does it also use the UUID to query the internal system to re-validate it? Can you craft a QR code with the same data but change the timestamp to achieve for infinite refills?
Do you have any evidence to back these claims up? (genuinely curious)
Yeah, the name is really Qt!
That’s hosted storage. It will be hosted in EU, but otherwise is similar to hosting on Google.

In my opinion, nextcloud makes sense when you want to host your data on your hardware.
Right but would you afford the same opportunity to the healthcare provider? You'd contact them privately and expect them to go and learn why over prescription of antibiotics is a bad thing and change their ways? Of course you wouldn't. You'd go to someone who cares. In healthcare there are ways you can report it without naming and shaming publicly, but how could the author do that?
Good question. I'm curious as well. From what I can tell, more and more indiehackers seem to be focusing on building tools for other indiehackers...

any real evidence of this will be easily evidence for a breach in fiduciary duty of the ceo towards the shareholders. RTO can be seen as costing more money, and likely reduce productivity, force attrition (of the best employees), etc.
Not the person you're responding to but my workplace has a special internal link precisely to "remind" coworkers to not leave unlocked laptops unattended.

This is better indeed, but from recollection last time I tried this.. I think that still requires a full OpenJDK installation and I believe those `sdkmanager` commands install multiple GB of tools sadly.

> it’s documented reality that the elites practiced exactly the authoritarian response they used mere months before the virus outbreak.

Isn’t that point of training and exercises? To be ready and have a plan when the situation you trained for actually occurs?

If you read the John Hopkins’ Center for Health Security link you provided, they did similar exercises in 2018 ("Clade X"), 2005 ("Atlantic Storm"), and 2001 ("Dark Winter").

To me this doesn’t prove that there is a conspiracy of any kind.

It simply and reassuringly shows that some of those who’s responsibility it is to be prepared for and help us collectively get through these kind of situations are actually taking their jobs somewhat seriously.

I guess you could call that a conspiracy. A conspiracy to do their jobs well.
Twice now I’ve been excited that this was for realtime ethernet used in teslas vehicles. Alas, it is not.
I talked to an acquaintance who ran a startup that went remote during the pandemic. His view was that the self-motivated conscientious employees were just as productive remote as they were in the office, if not more. The problem was that when they left the office the people in the office became less productive.

To me that makes a lot of sense and aligns well with my experience of office life. Some people depend on seeing others around them working, or they can’t get much done.

I asked him if he thought it was fair that his self-motivated employees essentially had to provide this service for free to the company, and spend time commuting to do it. Don’t think he could fully grasp the question, didn’t see a problem with that at all.

(This was in Sweden, which has a more collectivist work culture than the US.)

EDIT: But to be honest I think there might be more truth to @kitsune_’s sibling comment.
I tried three that jumped to mind and had no luck. But these are exceptionally rare albums because they were big flops in their time.

"Here in the land of Vicotry" - Rex Holman - Only album from actor most well known from Gunsmoke. About the only really standout on this one is 'Red is the apple'.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrBR5HcxngM&list=PLCUEvKJ4ny...

Eden's Island - eden abhez - Only album from semi-famous recluse who wrote 'Nature Boy' for Nat king cole. Album reportedly sold less than 100 copies.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tatqGvQozcY&list=PLLrMVonyKv...

Gypsy Boots / Upredictable - Related to the Nature boys of which Abhez was a part of. A one off album that I can only find on Archive.org. A novelty album at best.

Changing the incentives still sounds like it might be a good first step.

Here is a call from the pre-crowdstrike era:

...Linear is an issue management tool, how would you use it as a writing tool?
And that goes up to every levels of the hierarchy.

It's definitely about power and control.

I'd add that it is also a question of geography. The work place is the place where power exists. And so having you inside the company's walls means you are under control.

For CEOs their compensation is based on their company's stock performance and probably also most significant part of their holdings is also same company stock. So optimising for price of that stock either in short or long term is much more important than any other investment.

So most decisions are taken to increase that stock value, if RTO negatively affects it, but props up other investments it is probably sub-optimal for them.

“Putin has weaponized RTO” is an interesting theory, but the even more interesting one is that home-office was a plot to undermine Western society by making people lonelier and less productive.

You can look at who owns what in their portfolios, none of this is especially private information. They publish it all online. I literally just googled "who owns the most commercial real estate" and "commercial real estate bond ownership amounts" and things like that. It's not subtle, companies tout their ownership percentages and REITs list their investors.
> Without CPUs, we can be freed from the tyranny of the halting problem.

Can someone please explain to me what this even means in this context?

Serious question.
The cheapest 02 sensors that I know of are around $50 each, and have a shelf life of 1-2 years. Average price for a decent sensor is closer to $90. And digital solid state O2 sensors go for $400+.

*Edit*: google dive gear express O2 sensors to see these.

I use them for technical scuba diving. In particular with a rebreather, which is capable of mixing oxygen with other gases such as nitrogen and helium. And as the gas is recirculated CO2 is scrubbed away.

CO2 sensors are also available for rebreathers but are not always reliable (same for O2 sensors, so a minimum of 3 are used). The human body is actually quite sensitive to CO2, and it determines our breathing rate. So there are ways to know if you're likely being exposed to elevated CO2 levels by being aware of your breathing rate, paranoia, etc.
I guess the argument is that business leaders feel that their unused office space is a waste and/or they want to exercise more control as mentioned in other comments.
I’m not sure how recently they were added, but the Grid (modular environment) and the modulation sources are really powerful, particularly for adding organic/generative elements to a production. I’ve heard that Bitwig routing is another workflow enhancement, but haven’t used it too extensively.

It would be cool if Bitwig would introduce a scripting environment similar to Max for Live.

Thanks for sharing. I had the same feeling that browsering Twitter timeline is not so helpful overall, though there are good posts from time to time so you still can't ignore it.

I actually enjoy reading levelsio's non-indie-related posts, but that 's me personally.
Those things are not inherently as arbitrary and are also much more transparent which makes them hardly comparable in any meaningful way..

This is like physical shops offering different prices to clients based on how they are dressed and other indirect indicators.

Ha! That unlocked some child memories! Gracias :-)
yes, you can think of Lisp almost as an intermediate language. Lisp probably lends itself well to machine code generation but I haven't done enough assembly to really know that. its not designed for that, its just a side effect of the language primitives being very very short. you can write a basic Lisp interpreter in a few hours yourself https://norvig.com/lispy.html. Creating a decent compiled language takes a lot longer than that. Lisp only requires 5 or so primitives and it doesn't have a grammar.

it is a bit ackward for humans but machines can process it better because it has less structure. for example what I thought is that Lisp could potentially be a great choice to interop with Large Language Models with, because its potentially shorter code. Good clojure code can be 5-10x shorter than python code. With LLMs size of code matters a lot.
> RTO can be seen as costing more money, and likely reduce productivity, force attrition (of the best employees), etc.

Or they can say "We think it will be mildly accretive for the investors and create synergies in collaboration and creativity" and if the board agrees, who will gainsay them? We're not talking about drastic shifts in policy for most of these companies, it doesn't take much more than a little bias one way or the other to tip the decision.

It doesn't even have to be deliberate and conscious, if their wealth managers say "Boy the commercial real estate market is tanking, remote work is a disaster" that's enough to mildly influence behavior.

I don't know why I should switch from PyTorch to Tinygrad as a researcher and practitioner. In terms of kernel fusion, there is torch.compile. Not to say there is a large ecosystem behind PyTorch and almost every paper today is published with a PyTorch implementation. Probably what Tinygrad shines is bare-metal platforms?
Not to be a party pooper, but posting detailed financial analysis of the exact sales data of a multi-million dollar business using numbers obtained through an obviously overlooked backdoor seems like a very bad idea. Haven't people have gone to jail for less? (iirc "but it was an insecure API" has not held up in court in the past)

On a more positive note, I've used a QR menu recently and it really is a game changer. Scanned a code, pressed a few buttons, and my food was there in minutes! Looking forward to seeing it more often, especially in places where you're not looking for stellar service.
How do you retrieve other people's compute time ? Or do you have a special deal with each provider so they allow you to do that maybe ? Or maybe I completely misunderstood the thing
this is fun because i can confidently say, "bureaucracy" runs on adverts. Whatever flashy, big banner photo op you can find, people lap that up. why? because of the immense population of india. EVERYTHING works here.

You can spend countless hours trying to break your application, finding holes but who cares.

Police cares about financial fraud. Did someone clickbait you into swindling money from you? well they will pounce on it because they will extract their cut from all involved and it gives them nice PR on the daily newspaper.

PII fraud or vulnerability, eh well. whose gonna notice? we have enough on our plates.

second thing. whatever government is doing, they protect themselves at all costs. they WILL throw you under the bus if it protects their interests.

why? because of the massive population, jobs are scarce, people get college degrees and stuff to pad up their resumes because employers, govt or private REQUIRE documentary evidence you did something. doesn't matter your skills,y ou have the papers or not.

this dotpe company, whatever its doing is indicative of the systemic problems in india. You have lots of people, lots of smart people, lots of dumb people and in the long run, bigger, cheaper, faster. that's all that matters
