Just don’t park in a bus stop. It’s not that hard. We have so many parking spaces dedicated for vehicles there is no excuse in Alameda County.

Other comments in this thread complain about the difficulty of finding a legal place to drop people off at a BART station. That has not been my experience: the three Alameda county BART stations I’m most familiar with (Hayward, Fremont, and Warm Springs) all have passenger drop off zones and giant parking lots.

in 2015, not that I had to, but as it added a bit of fun to a "situation", I called to the dog (Mr Bhodie) " get off the roof " as thats where he had followed his nose, up the drifts, and onto the roof
another thing with water effect snow drifts, is that there can be very localised snow, AND even when it stops, if the wind is up, blowing snow will fill in cleared areas, as fast as they can

Interesting, I had IPv6 on a “beta” Swisscom in 2016 or so. Crazy that it's taken them to long to productionalize it.
I'm sure they have infinite resources and time to make it available in every language ever including braille.

But seriously, it's obviously meant to have a wider audience than just those countries you mentioned. Not even mentioning the elephant in the room that they are funded by many other eu countries (~23) that have their own languages as well. What else besides the most international language in the world should they have chosen?

Whenever you see something like

IP packets are like a C struct that only have 4 bytes allocated per address. If you want to have more space, you need to change that struct, and that's what IPv6 does. Together with a new Ethertype so the different structs can be reliably differentiated.
Yes same, my first video was a dad recording his two young sons on sofa just playing around. Very up-close to their faces, I felt very uneasy having a feeling of breaching someone's privacy of their own home
No, too much software and hardware relies on fitting the IP address into 32 bits. That means the only way to increase the number of addresses is in a way a clean break, so we might as well increase the number to a ludicrous size, far beyond what we can imagine practically exceeding, like IPv6's 128 bits.

Healthy orgs must have slack in the system and allow teams and individuals to do a little chasing of fun or meaningful things that give them intrinsic pride and motivation.

Teams must advocate for projects, but, for individuals, one solution that I've seen help is that the week long oncall developer handles sprint interruptions, slack questions, and bugs. No sprint commitments. If something is not on fire, they get to work on whatever they think will add value at their discretion. New tooling, proof of concepts, pet-peeve bugs that can't get prioritized, etc.

After lots of stabilization work, devs looked forward to oncall.

Specifics are vague:

Dutch police said the Matrix app was targeted along with similar encrypted services known by the names Mactrix, Totalsex, X-quantum and Q-Safe.

The investigation did not spotlight the similarly-named Matrix open source communication protocol.

~ https://nltimes.nl/2024/12/03/dutch-french-police-take-matri...

There's a fair chance that some of these are "custom" extensions of the Matrix protocol* .. but security is famously hard and such things often end up being a titanium door in a titanium frame propped up by a stick in an open field.

Even full stack hyper secure apps suffer from the dimmest element in a chat group perhaps being easy to social engineer.

The only definitive answer here would be from a comprimised crook willing to talk about their phone app or the police releasing details ahead of prosecutions and future use of whatever tricks they leveraged. Unlikely and unreliable either way

* eg: https://element.io/ is one such extension .. but not AFAIK used by criminals to talk laundering and wetwork.

There's a 2023 paper on lines of attack against and security guarentees of the open source Matrix Core:

> At that point, just use dual stack, even if it's just CG-NAT.

The motivating factor is the ability to turn off IPv4 within your own core network. For a large-ish ISP, running v6-only to all of your customers and having IPv4 to only a couple of points (your NAT64 gateway) can be attractive, assuming you generally know what you're doing and your CPE can do 464XLAT. This becomes _even_ more attractive when your network is too big for it to reasonably fit within 10.0.0.0/8 (very cell phone companies are in this boat).

For an end user in a home network, there is no practical benefit.
American houses are large and unaffordable. The usual term for a situation like that is inefficiency.

Price per square foot is not a very useful metric, because neither utility nor construction costs scale directly with the size of a house. A 3000 square foot house is not 2x as good as a 1500 square foot house, and it should not cost 2x as much to build. Roughly speaking, walls are expensive, while making the rooms larger is cheap. And bedrooms are cheap, while bathrooms are expensive.
I am an amateur calligrapher (specifically, I spent ~15 years practicing Japanese brush calligraphy).

Since April 2024 I have started setting up body calligraphy sessions (i.e. I hire a model to write on her naked body - NSFW examples here https://pa-mar.net/Study/ShoDo/BodyCalligraphy.html)

One of my sessions basically starts by discussing with the model what we will write and where - some of my past models are Japanese, so they could sometimes suggest specific poems or concepts, but I expect that these will always be outliers and most of the future collaborations will be with people that are not fluent in Japanese.

In those cases, I try to at least agree on some specific image/concept/word and then I go looking for an appropriate haiku (I also rely on help from my calligraphy teacher, who is Japanese too).

But just a couple of days ago I started asking ChatGPT to write haikus for me, based on a short description, and the results seems pretty good to me.

An example:

There is an instagram model who goes by the nick "Sensual snake".
So I asked ChatGPT "please compose for me a haiku, in Japanese, about a sensual snake.

Result:

Sensual Snake

妖蛇の

密やかに這う

月の影

Translation:

The mysterious snake,

silently it slithers,

in the moon's shadow.

I do not speak Japanese, so I asked if it could be possible to just replace Mysterious with Sensual or Sensuous - while still respecting the syllable count, and ChatGPT replied:

The key word 妖蛇 (yōja) already has a layered meaning that can imply "bewitching," "sensual," or "mysterious.”

I also showed this to my teacher and it looked legit to her too (I informed her about how I got this only post-facto).

So, even if it is definitely too early to tell, it looks like AI can do a decent job in the admittedly "rarified" context of Japanese Haiku.

> keep our children away as much as we can from tech stuf

How do you define "tech stuff" and why do you want to keep children away from that?
Based on my feedback, it seems pretty good. The main improvements I'd recommend are more user interface things, to make the game feel a bit less luck based.

For example, there definitely needs to be an indication of which moves are charging, since I could not for the life of me tell which ones were ready and which weren't. Either a bar or number underneath the move indicating this (maybe with a nice 'CHARGED' label when ready) would help a lot.

There's also a bit of confusion as to which moves are effective against which enemies too. Like I suspect blasting star is more powerful than throwing star or whatever, but the only way to be sure is trial and error, which lowers the strategic depth quite a bit. Then again, if this isn't a feature at all, having it would add a nice bit of extra value here, since it'd make each fight feel a bit more controllable.

Additionally, it's not always super clear that an attack has done damage, since the HP value seems to change instantly with little fanfare, despite what appears to be an effect marking the attack as having hit its target. Some sort of enemy HP colour change change, a minor screen shake, the text changing after the flash, etc would help illustrate that your attacks are hitting and doing damaging (and that your enemies were doing the same).

Still, on a mechanical level it's a pretty solid first attempt for a game, especially by someone learning to code at such a young age. There are a decent number of enemies, you've got a variety of attacks, the attacks can charge up, there's a win condition and a loss condition, etc. Congrats!
One point here: nowadays most new cars have auto high-beam which turns off almost immediately when it senses light coming from the opposite direction. Some higher-end models have matrix led lights which allows them to have the high-beam on even when there's oncoming traffic and they turn off just some parts of the beam to avoid blinding the opposite driver.

Thank you for sharing and also mentioning FS RAID solutions like zfs and btrfs.

I am in the process of creating my home NAS via nixos, "so i dont have to remember these steps". But as it seems, maintaining a RAID always involves manual steps.

I havent decided on zfs/btrfs/mdadm yet, but i am inclined to turn toward a FS solution, since they have apparently more resilience features, which mdadm lacks. Unfortunately you didnt touch that aspect of mdadm, maybe there are some knobs and alerts to tune.

That in 1955 Germany had a realistic way of saying, we're a sovereign country and don't want US troops on our soil?

But that in the end has nothing to do with my original response, which was "the US sets up its bases out of its own self interest". Even if those interests align, it doesn't mean it's there to honor German wishes. If those interests had not aligned, the US would've still stayed there, this is as clear as the header of this page being orange.
Your kid is more talented than 90%of software engineers out there. Great work
I've seen the same thing happen with UK cars here. I don't think most drivers even realise that their headlights aren't uniformly lighting up the road in front of them.

IMO places where people switch what side of the road people drive on (ferries, tunnels, etc.) should put up warnings and hand out fines to people with reversed lights. For cars that don't have digitally adjustable lights, I'm sure there will be money making opportunities for garages near these places where the lights can be physically adjusted.

What was the issue with lack of memory protection? If you're used to programming in C is there actually that much difference to running on a modern PC or embedded system?

Any security work always involves a calculated risk. The risk here is that you will be forced to do a painful and error prone upgrade at the time of the vulnerability - under pressure. You haven't done that too often, thus the process is unlikely to go smooth. So there may be bitrot, lots of debt, and time pressure to put out a patch: perfect storm for a lot of things to go wrong even if you don't get exploited. It also throws a wrench into your current schedule. This should be part of the risk calculation.

As I web developer I see so many CVEs in mature stacks, and every so often they really do apply to our work. It is hard to avoid updating, unless you kind of pretend those vulnerabilities don't exist or apply (honestly, the vast majority of devs and small orgs do just that). Even monitoring and deciding what vulnerability applies is a recurrent 'waste' of time, sometimes you might as well just do regular updates instead.

One issue I often see is that if you do your job well, any time sunk into security can by definition be seen as wasted. Until that rare moment comes when it is not so, and then it suddenly transforms from wasted time into a business critical or even business ending death crunch.
While the pessimism is true it's also the case that post-Brexit it is very hard for many of them to actually leave. The lack of free movement really made it hard for a lot of UK people to move to Europe.
I think that all makes sense. I would perhaps as an outside observer also lay the blame at Perl's feet - with Perl 6 the momentum seemed to crash completely over a decade or so.
> Is the cheating due to this language gap, though, or would they have cheated anyway?

A bit of both, most likely. If their English is not good enough to study in then they have to cheat or fail, so they should never have been admitted. Obviously cheating needs to be stopped in general, but this group of students gives universities an incentive to turn a blind eye to it.

> I'm just not sure what to think when the article cites mere anecdotes (of opposing statements at that)

That is the state of journalism. Lots of BBC stories are like that.

> and the argument fits great with the recent shift in voting behaviour.

If you mean the shift of traditional Labour areas to Conservative and vice-versa that has been happening for a long time, its just reached the point where seats start shifting in our first past the post system in recent elections. In general Labour voters have lost working class votes, and gained more affluent voters. There have been other interesting movements such as Catholics switching from Labour to Conservative, as have ethnic minorities.

If you mean the performance of Reform in the last election I think that is largely because of the deep unpopularity of the last Conservative government, and the perception that Labour are no different (which the new government seems determined to prove true). While Reform is an anti-immigrant party, I do not think most of their voters are. My experience (as ethnic minority British) is that the UK is a lot less racist than it was in the 1980s - my lifetime as seen a pretty much continual decline of racism.
No, you only need to update when there is an actual CVE which is a real concern, which is fairly rare for development dependencies, for instance webpack had only two in it's 12-year history – with one being severe. Babel had practically zero (except 1 indirect critical traverse package CVE last year). Vite you're proposing had 7 total and 3 severe in 4 years. Think this through – non stop CVEs, really?
Inference workloads likely won’t care very much. For llama 3.1 405B with bf16 when you split the workload across GPUs by layer, you need to do a 32KB memory copy before the next GPU can begin processing. That can be done incredibly quickly over PCI-E.

Congrats on the launch! I can definitely see the value in that.

I've been working with auto-generated content for the past 8 years (both algorithmic and LLM-based). One of the biggest challenges is detecting and preventing regressions after "improving" the prompt, algorithm, or model.

Just yesterday, I deployed a voice agent (OpenAI + Twilio), and it's clear that there are countless scenarios where the agent might not perform as expected. For example, if you ask the agent to speak in German, but your tool uses call names or returns data in English, the agent might suddenly switch to speaking English.

Overall, I believe voice agents will primarily be used and developed by SMEs, but they often lack the time or expertise to account for all these edge cases.

Btw: here is the number agent. sorry it's in German: +43732 350011

(long read) The confusing reality of AI friends
CO2 levels over 600 ppm indoors already start to hurt cognitive function and cause drowsiness in me. Due to the cold, I have been managing with 550 ppm in the winter, otherwise with 500 ppm in the summer. A decade ago, the indoor level easily was 100 ppm lower. This is becoming a problem fast as I run up against the 600 ppm threshold. The older you get, the more intolerant you become to high CO2 if you want good cognitive function.

The point is that no, sulfur injections aren't going to fix climate change, nor will a solar shield. The reason is that they leave high CO2 on the ground which harms cognition. One can't really make a living with a deteriorated mental function.
