Toronto’s parking meter boxes were like this. They just had GPRS so they’d do an overnight dump (possibly a part of their data deal with the telecom back when data was actually saturated during the day).

So people were using cancelled or empty prepaid visa/mastercards.

Initially they’d just push out blacklists.

Once they really caught on, they did a firmware upgrade to do online verification and it took fooooreeeeveeeeerrrrr to do a credit card purchase.
AI and Stress
Oh! Is this only Google's own apps? I read it as requiring Google to offer some kind of API to allow any app that any developer lists on the Play Store to be sucked into a third-party store. What would "unless developers opt out individually" mean then?
Who the fuck cares? You private capital enthusiasts will cry wolf any time a cheese-funded project gets blackballed. Authors like this are the reason why NASA is justified ignoring the unwashed masses when it comes time to sponsor a contract.

SpaceX has significant standing contracts with the US. They are not "out to destroy" a business they rely on to launch satellites and defense assets.
obviously, my reply to this comment's sibling repudiates these factually inaccurate characterizations.

The world runs on software. So yes, someone who can understand, create, maintain, manage, etc software, i.e. a software engineer is certainly a sustainable career.

I really don't understand how anyone gets the idea that it's not or isn't.

There will always be a need to support, create, understand, and otherwise manipulate the software that make machines and devices work and do what we want them to do.

Oh! So I'll finally be able to add donation links to my apps? And links to both play store and f-droid??

Currently, if you do that, the review fails for "Payments policy violation" (for the donation link at least, link to fdroid should be allowed, although I think I had some issues in the past...)
why are you fantasizing? none of that is going exist (caveat: unless we figure out infinite clean energy).
It's because android is licensed to third party manufacturers and google changed the terms in a way contrary to law. Whereas Apple has had the same terms since the app store's launch and only used the app store on Apple devices.

It's the same way that playstation can set its own terms for playstation game sales. They make both the software and devices.
I guess anything is magic if you don't know how it works or if you need some clicks to promote your personal site.

This is basically a slightly different gaussian kernel and the "incredible results" of a small image becoming a larger resolution blurry image is completely normal.

Also you don't want negative lobes in image kernels no matter how theoretically ideal it is, because it will give you ringing artifacts.

If you work with image kernels / reconstruction filters long enough you will eventually learn that 90% of the time you want a gauss kernel.
Whenever I'd hire someone new into DevRel at DigitalOcean back in the day, they'd always ask to see my demo.

I'd spin up a droplet and ssh in. I never took the full 10 minutes in the demo's for conf's we sponsored. 1.5 minutes and you can go watch someone else more interesting than me.

Get to the aha moment and get onto the next group of potential customers.
Honestly interested in your experience.

I am not surprised around (1). HTMX is based on REST, which is by nature based towards having the state in the server and having a stateless client. But what is the advantage of having the state in the client. Isn't that just a bias of the current frameworks?

I can see cases where you really need a thick client, and in that case I would use GraphQL rather than REST for those. But, there are quite a few cases that can work with REST and mostly server side.

I think (2) is solved by out of band capabilities of HTMX. I don't think that is naturally a limitation of the conceptualisation.
I've never done any kernel programming but I assumed the OSI model corresponded to Linux kernel modules or a similar division internally.

"Nonlinear dynamics and Chaos" by Steven Strogatz.

It's the only textbook I really read during my university education (sad to admit). Even though I consider it a textbook and not pop-sci, it's incredibly approachable and teaches a framework about dynamical systems which was completely missing from all other courses I took.

Sounds like a humble brag. But it being the only book I managed to read really makes it stick out for me!
It hides them, but also blocks most of the trackers anyway. Compliant websites should not track you before you consent. If they don’t honour this basic GDPR rule, it probably won’t honour your choices either.
I will find it deliciously ironic and welcomed if precedents set by Epic are eventually used against them. The even more hilarious news though is that apparently PC users hate their platform so much though, that exclusivity on Epic is perhaps more of a liability. I read the other day that that new open world Star Wars game had “disappointing” sales because of that.

The logical consequence of this argument is that there is no such thing as a business practice which is illegal for a monopoly, but which is legal for a startup. As long as you start doing it when you're small, it must be OK.

I don't think that holds water. The standards should definitely get higher as you gain more market share.

Part of a broader pattern in military technology right now.

All weapon systems that consist of an expensive vehicle and an expensive-to-train crew are being re-evaluated against drones right now.

If you're fighting a highly asymmetric conflict where your enemies can barely touch your expensive toys then it's less of a concern.

If you're fighting near-peer it's a different story.

The SOTA models can absolutely create system designs very effectively. Have you even tried that?

Like literally, let's get someone to randomly propose a few specs. Then we get some developers to try to create a system design. Some have Claude 3.5 Sonnet or o1-preview to help them work on it. Some of them have you to help. Each group has one hour.

Then we have another group that evaluates the system designs on some number of objective criteria. Feasibility, completeness, robustness, etc.

I'm willing to bet that a significant percentage will prefer the system designs made with the AI as an aid rather than your help. Because they will be better.

That's today. The LLMs continue to get better every few months.

It's true that we still can use human engineers for "awhile". But that is probably only a few more years.
Yeah I get you. That sounds very frustrating indeed. I've had a roommate who just couldn't get "hired" as a roommate. And honestly there is nothing wrong with the guy. Perfectly social guy. He just had a bit awkward manners in his way of talking, but honestly he was a very nice roommate. Would cook for us and had a nice girlfriend too who was a nice addition to the house too.

A couple of years ago, a dipshit moron in the US Army leaked a bunch of top secret documents on Discord, mostly related to the Ukrainian war.

The thing is, these documents were kinda bad. The information in them was not any better than the work of open source intelligence, and analyses were as good (bad) as that of many armchair analysts.

So it's no wonder that spy agencies are getting left behind.

I think you can come up with a lot of scenarios in which any one person is happy or not happy. But in complicated systems, it's impossible to know exactly and you have to rely on market forces to work these things out. The problem is people coming in without any humility and trying to tinker with the system and getting shocked when there is unexpected consequences.

I'm surprise the article didn't mention the US military history.

The US Army has not had a evolution of its attack helicopter since the 1970s.

I remember because one of my favorite childhood games was Comanche 3. [1] Control a helicopter, not crash, not get shot down, neutralize enemies, and achieve mission objectives -- it was cutting-edge for 1997.

The Comanche program was scrapped after more than a decade of development. And the Defiant program was just cancelled last year as well.

Is there a lot of innovation happening in this space for military applications? I ask this as someone totally unfamiliar with the technology in general. It seems like it could greatly benefit pilots, people on the battlefield, and anyone else who needs access to some kind of visual information while still having both of their hands.
We read the same thread. I haven't read all the context. Thanks for that.

But I disagree that he's deflecting his obligation to test more broadly -- it does sound like he's trying to get people together to do exactly that. It's easy to see this situation in black and white, and Linus's approach to the conversation is rather polarizing in that regard.
Investigating why it’s breaking, was there a lot of people in that room?

Reddit serves a different robots.txt to Googlebot, you can see a snippet of it in Googles summary. If Kagi is getting recent Reddit results then they must be either ignoring robots.txt, using Google as a backend, or also paying Reddit for access like Google.

For gas use electricity production is just a minor use. Most gas is consumed by industry and for heating purposes. Not enough happened in Germany in the last years electrifying them.

The claim that there are less mergers happening is from Khan not Silcon Valley.

“Sometimes, you know, the companies decide that they’re going to abandon the merger,” Khan said. Stahl asked if abandoning a merger amid the FTC’s scrutiny was a win, to which Khan said, “That’s right.”

It is SSR, in the sense that the server sends HTML over the websocket. HTMX swaps out content based on the element id. Doc: https://v1.htmx.org/extensions/web-sockets/

If you mean SSE, then yes that would work just as well (unless you need the bidirectionality for the client to modify some aspect of the connection after the page has loaded). There is an htmx-sse extension too.

I'm not sure how XHR alone would let you automatically get backend state changes reflected to the frontend. You can poll one or more endpoint, but that's more complicated to get right and less efficient.
Luckily, Altman already has Worldcoin revved up and ready to go! Isn't that convenient?!

Does it drive anyone else nuts when they throw in something related to the main article like this

"Security researchers also found that the threat actor attacked hotels, engineering companies, and law firms in Brazil, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Canada, Israel, France, Guatemala, Lithuania, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom."

but that isn't in the main article and they don't say where they got that information from?

My grandfather worked on some aspect of the Hubble design (I was young; I think the timing would have put him at Lockheed M&S in Sunnyvale at that time). He never said anything about his work on it being classified. He used to say "when I retired, the stack of NDAs was this tall" and show his index finger and thumb being about 3 inches apart.

He was a very serious guy and would never talk about anything he shouldn't have. So yes, I believe the fact that he was willing to talk about Hubble meant it was done in the open. And also, he never expressed any sort of amazement that it was still up there, working. Why wouldn't it be?
I don't get it. Epic is offering a different pricing model that might or might not be more advantageous to developers

I guess my definition of what makes a sustainable career does not at all need to include "being in insane demand", or "commanding outsized salaries and crazy perks".

Maybe the question is being asked by people who got into this industry to get rich or something, I don't know.

I got into it because I love working with computers and making software and it seems to pay fair enough for me. I don't see any shortage or work or opportunities to make software and make more than enough money to live a comfortable life.

To me that is a perfectly reasonable definition of sustainable.

Is maintaining a cache difficult? Disk space is cheap and databases are reliable in 2024.

I'll mention that the MTA-STS policy includes a list of permitted MX, so a poisoned MX record would be detected. But you are still correct about "first email to a domain" concerns; MTA-STS does not offer protection when the policy isn't in the cache.

There's some obvious improvements we could consider, like a community list of domains known to support MTA-STS, and mail servers pre-warming their caches. That gets us something closer to the HSTS preload list, which protects the first connection to a domain. MTA-STS is a reasonable foundation for future work.

It's also really worth remembering that the current best practices for email are unencrypted connections, skipping TLS cert verification, and sometimes DANE. A solution that protects all but the first email is a big step forward.
I for one don't understand what you're saying, but get the feeling it's in defense of Altman. I'd like to point out that the key here is the world-spanning ambition, which to me reads like an unhealthy megalomania.
