True story:

In the late 70's my Uncle had a run of bad luck and a dubious business partner basically sink him financially. After some discussion, he made a plan. It was simple:

Uncle goes back to Virginia to lay low in one of the back hollers.

My mom gets his mail, due to him living with us for a while[1], and writes "Deceased" on it, and "Return to Sender"

5 years pass. Maybe 4, I can't remember.

Uncle shows up, everything is fine, and he and my aunt live out the rest of their days in a small comfy trailer no worries.

[1] Living and other time with this Uncle was a great time in my life.

Edit due to device change: My uncle had one eye, the other lost when he was young and unlucky in the woods. He read everything and acquired a great many skills which he proceeded to pass along to me: lock picking, electronics, engine rebuilding and a ton about autos, working with wood, metals, tools... He is probably still doing that in his afterlife. Good soul who I treasure having known.

No way that’s 50g of carbs. They started with 150g dry pasta and the serving they plated was less than 1/5th of it. I’d be surprised if there’s 20g of carbs in that serving.
It feels like the fitness brands need to come together and shut out the BT SIG and all fitness profiles should come out of that new consortium - which would be a formalising of what Wahoo did with the Kickr protocol.

> US militias don't match any of those classic situations. They're mostly wannabees. If you encounter militia types, ask them if all their members use the same ammo. If not, they're a rabble, not an army.

Sure, but there's plenty of opportunity for asymmetric warfare. Several power stations have been attacked in various parts of the US over the last few years. They could be probing the power system for vulnerabilities (and there are plenty of those). Also, look at how lowish-cost drones are coming to dominate the Ukraine war.
I knew some of these guys when I lived in a rural area, calling them Gravy Seals is more accurate than tongue in cheek. They are well armed though.
Congrats you missed the point
I don't agree with that at all. It can feel that way in big cities - but rural Canada have a very strong Canadian identity.

I have left X / Twitter now, but while there it gave me good insights, to an extent. If you follow the right people, you get news without intermediate interpretation by journalists. Who the "right people" are is hard to answer, but basically, select people you trust the judgement of.

But.... I am no longer there. Too much noise and distraction drowns the sane voices. And I can't stand Musk any longer.

Can you explain why it is you think that makes it any better? I can think of no argument that would make this particular persona anything but a tremendously stupid idea. Even if it was one in a thousand personas it would almost certainly be found and singled out by articles like this one.
IGPSport 630 bike computer.

It's about $100 direct from them or on AliExpress.

Ant+ and BLE, dual band GPS, comes with a Garmin compatible mount for your handlebar as part of the package too. Does turn by turn (but on the 630 doesn't reroute if you go off course, the 630S does though).

I've got it paired up with a Wahoo HRM, a Magene P505 power meter and the Magene Radar and it works flawlessly.

Edit: almost forgot, also integrates well with my Kickr Core. Exports in standard file formats so you can analyse your rides, bring them into other apps etc. as well as auto upload to Strava and Apple Health.
His actions could reasonably be characterized as motivated for deep care for others, and that includes not just his work on popularizing electric cars and giving humanity better internet connectivity via StarLink, but also his political activism. Of course of all of this is subjective, which is all the more reason to not pretend your view of compassion is the objective irrefutable truth.
Generic VGA doesn't generally exist on EFI platforms, the firmware doesn't program the card into a state where the VGA registers are going to do anything useful. You should get a working unaccelerated framebuffer from the firmware, though.
Yes, this already happens. Address bus width is usually different from register width due to cost. I found this, old CPU's address bus only getting to 44 bits wide on Itanium.

https://www.tech-faq.com/address-bus.html

My newish AMD laptop: `grep 'address sizes' /proc/cpuinfo`

address sizes : 48 bits physical, 48 bits virtual

Looks like 36 bits wide is already plenty for anything typical, up to 68 GB:

>>> f'{2**32:>30_}'
' 4_294_967_296'
>>> f'{2**36:>30_}'
' 68_719_476_736'
>>> f'{2**40:>30_}'
' 1_099_511_627_776'
>>> f'{2**48:>30_}'
' 281_474_976_710_656'
>>> f'{2**64:>30_}'
' 18_446_744_073_709_551_616'
PNG per frame? Ouch.

If I was to build one of these, which I'm not, I would try for a RTSP to bucket uploader. That way you could do the actual capture and compression with OBS like any other streamer - or use it with IP security cameras etc. You'd probably end up with a pile of video-ts pieces which could be replayed later using HLS.

The article's author was suspicious and skeptical too. That's why he read through the chat logs and audio recordings, and also interviewed former friends and militia members to corroborate the story. The article also explicitly calls out which of Williams' claims were uncorroborated or contradicted.

Genuinely asking: what other evidence are you looking for?
I'm not sure if you're joking but your comment expresses it backwards - according to the op article, meta made 28 such bots. One of those bots had the insta profile tagline "queer black mom". In between meta's creation of the 28 and the story arriving on your dinner plate, someone decided to focus the coverage on that one of 28. They thought it would be interesting to people and clearly were right
Many "64-bit" systems only have ~48 bits of virtual address space, and while canonical pointers have all the high bits equal, you can put the otherwise-wasted bits to work by storing metadata.

If you're writing really space-optimised code, you can pack pointers closer together.

Yeah, I had one as a kid. My dad picked a few up during that same fire sale.

In the early 80s, when it wasn't yet clear that PC clones would dominate, it was a wonderful machine: it had a workstation-class (for the time) graphical display and was faster than any IBM product until the second-rev AT came out.

Microsoft was more focused on being cross-platform back then. Multiplan, for instance, ran on an abstract machine and so was ported to everything from minicomputers to the frickin' TI-99/4A. They even tried to consolidate Xenix and MS-DOS on a single unified API called "XeDOS"; fun fact: this is how MS-DOS 2.0 got subdirectories and piping/redirection.

Did you spot the Tandy 2000 used as a prop in Stranger Things? It was the cash register for the video store they used to search for Eddie in I believe Episode 2 of Season 4.

If you want the best of both worlds, Amazon has about a zillion "toy" cameras that print to thermal receipt paper.

(The photo is also saved to SD card.) Receipt paper is available everywhere and works out to be about one cent per photo.

The context of ROM here is "can execute code without putting it in RAM" rather than "code is stored in a read-only memory".
It's kinda weird that languages (or at least languages with pretensions to cryptography) are still forcing people to resort to asm directly rather than offering some sort of first-class support for constant time operations and not leaving secrets lying around in memory. It doesn't need to be super high level, it just needs to clear the infinitely low bar of assembly language. Does any language offer such a dedicated facility?
> how on earth did the issues with this not become obvious for the team?

I haven't reviewed the context of all 28. But if "the team" were trying to do this rationally: perhaps they'd use census data to weight human characteristics and roll 28 dice. We might not expect more than one of 28 to end up as "queer black mom" but it's not necessarily "woke bait" or "rage bait" for one of 28 to land on those squares. Perhaps it was a logical way of assigning traits?
> Violations Are More Common Than You Think

For what I see in robotics, I can say that most products I see being shipped violate hundreds (thousands?) of licenses. Both permissive (which generally require attribution) and all kinds of copyleft.

Many IoT products use stuff like https://www.balena.io/os and essentially ship products that contain docker containers of all sorts. If you ship an Ubuntu container, you ship a ton of packages with it that have license requirements, right?

Nobody cares, nobody knows, nobody wanna know. That's the situation.
Cool! just reviewing my comments. Thanks for bringing it up. A simple "you are banned from posting notice" after trying to post would be all it takes. If I'm banned from a sub, then don't let me post there. It shouldn't let vindictive, power hungry mods permaban you from reddit because you "ignored a ban".
It can help a bit but it's not a magic bullet. You're usually not using that much plastic in infill to do a full purge, and the current implementation doesn't add more infill if there's more purge needed. Toolchangers stand to benefit the most from it since they only need to purge enough to prime the nozzle again.

There's also a side problem I've noticed with purge to infill, it's way less forgiving if your filament has too much colorant or you have your purge amounts wrong. Having a perfect print that had it's colors bleed sucks.
>You might think China’s growing dominance in the auto supply chain would give its EV makers an insurmountable edge. But remember that Chinese producers of auto parts and manufacturing equipment are very eager to sell to non-Chinese carmakers. Western and Japanese automakers can take advantage of the same Chinese auto supply chain as Chinese EV makers.

>But non-Chinese EV makers can partner with Chinese battery makers to use their batteries or license their technology.

What if they then lock you out of it?
It was probably a manager that said it wasn’t in the spec, but yea, that is entirely plausible :(

Pyodide 0.27 Release
> As evidence, look at the election we just had.

The amazing thing is how the right was able to essentially rewrite the history of Jan 6 over the last 4 years. Right after the incident even many Republican politicians in DC were calling for Trump's resignation and impeachment (or at least some resolution that would not allow him to run again). There was a huge amount of alarm in the immediate aftermath. But then the narrative about the events of that day slowly started to turn into "it was just a peaceful protest where a few bad apples got a bit out of hand" (that came right after the "it was antifa" stage which didn't last too long when it was clear that these folks were Trump supporters). Trump certainly minimized Jan 6 (to his benefit) and the rest of the GOP began to go along just as they've gone along with the idea that the 2020 election was "stolen" from Trump (and if they actually believe it was stolen then they can come to the conclusion that Jan 6 was justified as some of them do).

> But when you're in the tens or hundreds of thousands, that's a hard no.

What? No, not at all. I worked in such a company,and oncall was indeed a thing and it was tremendously easy to deal with upstream and downstream dependencies. You have dashboards monitoring metrics emitted in calls to-from third party services and run books that made it quite clear who to call when any of the dependencies misbehaved. If anything happened, everyone was briefed and even on a call.

This boils down to ownership and accountability. It means nothing if the company had 10 or 100k employees.
The amount of supposed criminal activity by "militias" pales in comparison to the massive transnational mexican cartels - who have their own militias, whose ideology is money.

But manufacturing a right wing conspiracy is more important than discussing real narco terrorism that kills thousands of Americans and Mexicans every year, floods our country with lethal drugs, and finances North Korea and Chinese crime organizations.

How many headless corpses did the Oath keepers leave on the street last year?

How many metric tons of fentanyl did they smuggle?

Yep.
Couldn’t we test that? If the theory was that buying was a key word we could sniff not activity when that word is said could we not?

That's the Assume a Can Opener problem, given that we're locked into dysfunction with things like partisan gerrymandering, primary voting dominated by party extremes, and our first-past-the-post winner-take-all system — to say nothing of First-Amendment idolatry, as manifested in Citizens United, that has resulted in Second Gilded Age oligarchs being able to dominate the discourse among low-information voters.

That’s just going to drive more fraud to the receiver’s side. For example, one can pay for goods and receive them, then reverse the payment.
This already is a huge percentage of fraud that businesses have to deal with, and there is a large industry built around preventing it.
Fighting fraud (and other crimes) requires vigilance from all parties.
Imo it's due to people have a hard time separating the worth of their idea with their self-worth. So criticism of their 'baby' breeds negative sentiment which creates a challenging political environment for criticism, which would need to be ameliorated by strong organizational culture.

Hey everyone! I am Shashank, a data, cloud and backend engineer with 8 years of experience. Currently, I am working at a SaaS company where I specialize in building scalable backends, increasing database performance, overhauling architecture and deployment processes and generally working towards being more data driven.

Previously, I worked at an Ad Tech security company where I also built backend APIs, ETL pipelines, worked on security tools, architecture. and managed a small team on the enterprise vertical. Prior to this, I was a founding engineer and data engineer at a DeFi based music startup, where I single-handedly built the entire backend & data infrastructure, frontend dashboards, analytics and reporting system and most of the company's products.

Throughout my 8-year career, I have gained extensive experience in delivering products from concept to launch, designing architecture, product & infrastructure planning, and managing small teams.

I have been working fully remotely for New York based companies for the past 6 years from Netherlands and India as well.

What's the the right amount of glyphosate (and others) to use, and under what conditions? Where I live (and have lived) we have pretty nasty invasive broadleaf species for whom glyphosate and triclopyr are first line choices for destroying the plant, i.e. mechanical removal does not work or is counterproductive.

So, clearly it has a place in the defense of ecosystems. What standard and protocols do we hold the users of these chemicals to (including yours truly)?

> A vuln every 7-8 years is "a string of unique and extremely bad vulns"?

Here’s another: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/iterm2-patche...

And another: https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2019-19022/

Point being: it’s not hard to see what I’m talking about if you look up previous vulnerabilities in iTerm2, particularly around its sophisticated integration features. (I suppose I talk about this enough that it might be worth compiling all the history I’m aware of somewhere, I don’t want to sound like I’m just making this up)

It’s also notable that iTerm was found vulnerable to the same bug discovered recently in Ghostty: https://threatintelligencelab.com/blog/cve-2024-38396-a-crit...

> I also don't understand the general animosity towards an opensource project with one developer doing all the work for 15 years

I have nothing against George Nachman and iTerm2 is certainly an achievement, one that I probably couldn’t replicate myself. Nonetheless I feel the need to hold my terminal emulator to higher standards because it processes sensitive data and untrusted input with (inherently) poor isolation between the two. Until Ghostty I used Terminal.app for many years, having previously switched away from iTerm2 after the vulnerability discovered in 2017. That’s still what I recommend to people because it has a much smaller feature set and thus attack surface compared to iTerm.
