For me iPhone looses all connectivity on a daily basis. No cellular signals are available in the underground parking lot that I use.

Not in cities, even today. That region is simply broadening.

Public car insurance for poor, risky drivers has zero popular appeal. This will happen gradually then quickly.
I have two WSPR beacons running, one in Sunnyvale CA and the other in Binyamina-Giv'at Ada, Israel. Both are running 200 mw into EFHW antennas just 6 meters off the ground. I can routinly pick up the signals between the two sites.

I get signal reports everwhere from a US military base at the South Pole, Australia, and throughout Europe and Asia.

The transmitters are homemade, a Rapsperry Pi Pico, and a small external circuit of a Si5355, a couple of MOSFETS and a lowpass filter -- maybe $30 in parts.

It's fascinating how the amount of electrons needed to light up a few LEDs can be heard around the world when modulated correctly.
Ban React and other bloated js "frameworks" and watch in awe how the emissions go down.

Completely wrong in my experience.

Poor women have children because they often don’t have the choice not to have children. That is why every single country when women gain rights and financial independence, the total fertility rate plummets.

Lower and middle class people in developed countries have fewer kids because they want to provide a home with their kids’ own room, be in good school districts because they are afraid of what happens if their kid doesn’t get into a good college, etc. The fear of not being able to provide a certain minimum quality of life prevents many from having kids.

It actually switches back to richer women having more kids because they have more security of owning their home, affording childcare while still being able to save for retirement, having health insurance, etc.

Right, if references were meant to be pointers then they would simply be called pointers.

Some abstractions are meant to be treated as a black box. It's bloody trivial to realize and point out that references are represented as pointers internally. The actually intelligent step is to figure out how to use that knowledge correctly. Do we pass small bittable types around by-value because we skip the dereference? Hell yes (pending profiling). Do we treat references as pointers? No.

As a plausible scenario, rustc could use tagged pointers for some purpose in refs. Your code could seem to be working in tests, but segfault when rustc sets the MSB for some reason.
I didn't mean everyone, I meant it was the typical case.

And it's only some cities where it's similarly or more affordable to not have a car. Not nearly as many as it should be.
We all recognize Elon Musk is brilliant and big hearted person putting humanity first in many areas of life: business, programming, science, etc. Why is it so hard to recognize his brilliance and good heartedness in politics just because he is across the aisle?

What's interesting to me is that Apple's stance of not unlocking iPhones for law enforcement has led to this paranoia on law enforcements part. Honestly? Good.
We (Rizin) would love to improve QNX support of our FOSS reverse engineering and debugging framework. We already support[1][2][3][4] it, but can't reliably test. Would be awesome to have the QEMU image out of the box, just like Windows provides ready to use limited VMs for testing[5].

iPhones are already communicating with any and every bluetooth capable Apple device to enable the findmy/airtag functionality aren't they? I dont believe this is necessarily true just that its theoretically possible.
I've had my safety razor (a Merkur) since 2008 or 2009 and I am still working through the original pack of 1,000 razorblades that I got with it. I keep a beard year-round so I don't really shave much. Incredible value purchase, with very minimal effort it has remained practically as good as new.
As I get older, I feel less willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It's very charming to imagine these businesses spending their formative years breaking bread with each other and acting innocent, but they had to move fast and break things to get where they are today. Jobs had a direct hand in Apple's offshoring that would turn out to be equal parts blessing and curse. Sergey Brin supposedly invented AdSense himself. Zuckerberg... well, the less that's said about him the better.

And getting down to it, I don't think it's hard to imagine all of it as marketing fluff either. Humanist marketing fluff, sure, but written with the intent of selling products for certain. Who nowadays would accept "Think Different" from a company that releases the same 3 products every year, or "Don't be evil" from the most detrimental company in America? The Grubers of the world always looked like self-absorbed fools, but they went from being Bloomberg's crown jewel to Twitter (sorry, X) pundits.
When I stop to make way to either pedestrian or bicycle or kid (that is more dangerous than a pedestrian) I position my car in such a way that the car after me is as blocked as possible.

That means going more to my left (but not to much as to leave enough space on my right), turning a little (the car takes a little more space) and even turning on the turning signal (not the parking signal)

They get pissed (the cars. Walking Grandmas wave at me to greet me), so I hope I don't get shot at some point.
Thank you for the feedback! The obstacle-spawning issue might stem from timing inconsistencies—I’m working on fine-tuning this to make sure all obstacles spawn as expected. For the leva component, I’m exploring ways to improve event handling to prevent erratic behavior. Any specific instances you encountered would be really helpful for further troubleshooting!
There is a trade off between the half life and the intensity of radiation (i.e. the number of particle emissions per unit time), correct? So even if waste products are radioactive for thousand of years, they can be more easily handled than materials with a faster decay rate, even if they need to be stored for longer.
The cool thing about WSPR is the weak signal aspect. I don't understand the math, but a receiver and the program to decode it can dig a signal out below the noise floor. If the band is open, you can literally transmit into a light bulb and have your signal picked up by dozens of receivers across the country. It's wild. And fun.
Great suggestion! I’ll add arrow key support so it’s accessible for more players. It should be an easy addition in the next update—thanks for the idea!

A) repeating: ID check is productive at 1) registration - ensure eligibility and 2) at ballot casting - ensure the voter is registered and unique. The inverse is true without ID: no insuring eligibility and no ensuring either registration or uniqueness. Because of these deficiencies, it is impossible to identify even the most basic forms of fraud.

B) It’s administrative and readily-solved.
IDK about iOS, but android (or at least calyxOS/grapheneOS) has a feature where you can make the phone automatically reboot after a certain amount of time (thus removing the keys from memory).
I don't think it's what's happening here, but iPhones absolutely communicate with each other when there's no cellular network.

The 'Find My' network uses all iPhones/iPads/Macs (unless disabled) to locate said devices and other items over Bluetooth LE.

It's very tempting to think of people in the past as dumber or less capable than us in "modernity". But the reality is that they were just as smart and motivated as anybody today, they just happened to live slightly lower up the mountain made up of giant's shoulders.

The lived in a world even more described by constraints and limitations rather than capabilities. The average engineer working on a fairly run-of-the-mill problem encountered and had to consider complexity that would make the average software developer's hair curl.

This is beautiful work, genius work. It existed before Alan Turing graduated university and when Alonzo Church was teaching at Princeton. It relied on bleeding edge new technology, and an understanding of physics, photography, lithography, electromagnetism, printing, and several other complex disciplines that anybody today would have difficulty following. Some of the technologies in this process were as new then as the internet is now.

Early plastic was the state of the art for material science.

Imagine doing this work where your access to information required you to drive perhaps several miles to an academic library and spend hours finding a single book to see if it even contained the information you thought it might. If you happened to found some fractional piece of the puzzle in a paper, journal, or book...if you weren't allowed to remove it from the library, you had to write down the information.

The copy machine didn't even exist.

This invention exists somewhere between carrying water to war in animal bladders and the nuclear age.

Beautiful.
Finally. I hope this reaches Australia and the rest of the world. Phenylephrine doesn't work, it never worked, it's obvious that it doesn't work, it's a literal scam, and the companies selling it are fraudulent.
You’re right! The title references the main packages used in the project: R3F (React Three Fiber) for integrating React with Three.js, drei for helpful components, and rapier for physics. I’ll consider giving it a more descriptive title for clarity—thanks for noticing!
Trump had no actual interest in who he nominated, he just followed the guidelines of organizations like Heritage. That's my point: Trump does not have an interrogative bone in his body and he can be manipulated into making decisions by much smarter people that are thinking multiple steps ahead of him.
> I'm not an emcomm whacker but I think that take is too dismissive. Ham radio was a much more viable for emergency communications before cell phones, Internet, and FRS/GMRS/MURS.

Absolutely no disagreement! But I think that use-case is more-or-less dead. (The tool is perfectly good... it just doesn't have the network effects and usability of the other tools, and a combo of sats and FRS is good enough almost-always).

> Perhaps when all cell phones can reliably and routinely communicate with satellites, emcomm on ham radio won't have much purpose. But we're not there just yet.

True. But we are at the point where (a) satellite communication is extremely cheap, (b) authorities can be accessed via satellite as easily as 911 (or easier), and (c) people who can help but not official responders but in a place to help are WAY more likely to have satellite+FRS than Ham. (Eg most SAR teams either stick to FRS or deviate but don't even both licensing...)

> If the message is encrypted, how can anyone tell whether it is commercial or not?

I seriously don't think this will be a huge problem.

1. What's the point? There are cheaper and better solutions. Abuse will be minimal because infinitely simpler solutions just aren't that expensive these days. This was a very valid concern in the 80s, but it's not anymore.

2. Still require a call-sign unencrypted. Huge volumes from lots of different sources w/ the same call-sign such that it's ruining the amateur purpose of the use should be easy enough to investigate. If stations don't identify, well, that problem already exists and so do the solutions.

BUT, if it does become a problem, you can solve it in a variety of ways. If congestion really becomes an issue after the rule change, it can be rolled back. Or the rules could be written with "automatic triggers" based on congestion. Or you could pre-empt by putting a maximum number of minutes per callsign per day. Etc.
Exactly! I used React Three Fiber (R3F) for the 3D scene, drei for utilities, and rapier for physics, all by the Poimandres collective. Their libraries like zustand have also been essential in other projects. Thanks for sharing these details with everyone!
>which is actually faster than the 20:44 TAS!

I had no idea what this was.

For people like me, after clicking through the link and some googling:

TAS = "Tool-assisted speedrun" or "tool-assisted superplay", and they are "generally created with the goal of creating theoretically perfect playthroughs".

That any% run was fun to skim through though. I had no idea what was happening.
I wonder if people who vote strategically for the most part might fall into this category as well. The ability for this to be an effective approach can vary from place to face.
Verified worst case execution time analysis. So instead of just hanging on it until it achieves the desired responsiveness (like QNX and rt Linux) Sel4 can actually back up its claim.
> $19/hr would be inflation adjusted federal minimum

Sure, but there is no reason to treat the 2009 number as a ground truth.

The best solution would be a variable federal minimum wage, but I don’t have a great idea on how to do that sustainably.
Actually, in this case, R3F refers to React Three Fiber, which is central to the project. However, I can see how it might look like an auto-generated name—thanks for the heads-up!

According to the NTSB, cyclists have 79 deaths per billion miles traveled. For comparison, cars were 11 per billion miles. Around 2/3rds of bicycle fatalities involved a motor vehicle. So even if we solved car-bicycle collisions, the fatality rate per mile would still be much higher than driving.

Bicycles are great, but compared to cars they are dangerous.

Thanks for helping clarify the title! It’s great to have other developers in the thread who are familiar with Poimandres' tools.
Both of mine are sleep related today. I've been on a quest to improve my sleep for years and these two things have given me the most success.

Under $100: A weighted blanket. Okay, many of these are just over $100 - in the $130-200 range - but under $100 exists too. So comfy and makes it so much easier to fall asleep. Also great for panic attacks or anxiety generally.

Under $1,000: A CPAP machine. Technically mine was free with insurance, but for many people the cost will be $500-$1,000. If you have sleep apnea, or even suspect you do, please please please get a sleep study and a machine. It has changed my life.

Also, bonus, under $100,000: An electric vehicle. I love my Chevy Bolt. It's the best car I've ever owned and I doubt I'll ever go back to gas for a daily driver.
Isn't there a lot of daylight between old Fortran code and AI?

What if we rewrote the old algorithms in C with modern techniques? Multitthreading? Or GPU compute? If there's value there, I could do these things. Probably wouldn't take that long
If you have an iPhone SE Gen 3 (Or any other iPhone with TouchID, but models older than the SEGen3 have other weaknesses to worry about), you can do the same by spamming the power button 5 times.

You can also ask Siri to reboot or turn off your phone, Siri will ask you to confirm you want to do the action, but it doesn't take too long to do. Just in case you don't want to reach for your phone for what ever reason.

Under $100:

Gymnastics rings and straps. A Lebert Equalizer.

Under $1000:

A squat rack, barbell, iron plates and bumper plates. Adjustable bench, adjustable dumbbells. A collection of kettlebells.

I started taking my strength and body composition seriously in 2018. To that point, I had been a (ultra)marathoner for the previous decade. Prior to that, I was in the military and trained in a hybrid fashion. But I had gotten pretty out of shape between separating and picking up endurance events. But then I had neglected strength for such a long time.

Today I am stronger and with a better physique than I had over 20 years ago. I also have a resting heart rate that's in the mid-40s, while I myself am in the mid-40s. I lift 2-4 days per week, and I do conditioning 2-4 days per week. I cycle my training with the seasons, I'm currently moving into a more lifting focused phase of training as we move into and through the colder months. In the spring and summer, I focus more on endurance.
Whoops, I forgot that tables maintained in the db are not the same as remote archives. :|
The following argument from the blog post is wrong:

"First, write a bash script P1 that runs a SAT solver on every possible SAT problem and halts if any of them take exponential time. You don't actually have to run P1, just call HALTS(P1, Solver) to see if the solver solves all problems in polynomial time."

The difficulty here is that it could turn out that there's a SAT algorithm that is better than exponential, but the SAT solver used in the experiment does have worst case exponential time. What has to be proved, to prove P != NP, is that there is no possible SAT algorithm that has sub-exponential worst case time.
Why design your own API so that I can't try it without rewriting my entrypoints? No thanks.

Cloudflare is building an insanely good platform and I think it is one that is worth betting on into the future. I have no idea where this company came from. Maybe it's a rebrand, because they seem to have serious customer base and perhaps network footprint.

PoPs are ~119 which is significantly fewer (less than half) of Cloudflare's presence, and Cloudflare has queueing, streaming, D1 (databasing), R2, and all sorts of other things. Workers' DX cannot be beaten.

Just my 2c. If the creators are here, I'd love to know why you decided to design a new API. That is so upsetting.
Rust weirdos need to stop telling other programmers what languages to write and not write software in.

Too many words wasted online on this, instead of working on an equivalent ecosystem to replace UNIX/C which currently runs the world, and will continue do to so until the Rust community (or another community which is more organised and less populated by drama queens) gets their shit together.
The issue is not that Apple devices communicate with each other. It's the absurd claim that there's a secret handshake between Apple devices that tells them to reboot if they've been offline and locked for too long.

So sit around in a less secure state for weeks and months and only when externally triggered reboot? That's a stupid feature and makes no sense. If you were to base any partial security measure off of how long a device has been powered up and locked, then just use a timer. Why wait for another phone to wander by?

Though the digital forensics lab claims they were all in airplane mode with one inside a faraday box, so how are they communicating with each other? This suggests incompetence on their part, perhaps not actually putting them in airplane mode or not understanding that bluetooth/wifi can be enabled (and may enable themselves) separately from the cellular radio.

giantg2 is right! The position and velocities are already known in the form of a Two-line element set (TLE). That makes it quite easy to calculate its current location using orbit propagation algorithms.

If you want to go down a fun path I suggest reading more into TLE data. They are currently in the process of adapting the standard to allow for more satellites since in its current form it can only track 99,999 satellites
