I was honestly hoping they were referring to the root DNS servers but the last leg on the client side I suppose is a start. Now we just need to get rid of all the big centralized DoH servers a.k.a. The Ultimate Data Collection and Future Censorship Platform and get all the home routers and corporate edge resolvers to do DoT to the root servers.

The middle ground of course is for all government agencies and companies to set up their own Anycast root DNS servers to participate in the global authoritative DNS clusters [1] and put their own caching DoT/DoH non-authoritative servers in front of them to keep their queries from traversing untrusted networks. i.e. all queries traverse government and corporate VPN's and the query terminates on the in-house DoT/DoH servers and finally terminates on the in-house root DNS Anycast replicas.

Good call out, and also really sad.
I've been working on something similar [1], but I took a different approach: I statically extract all decryption stubs using a IDA script I wrote, then emulate them using Unicorn. I'm also interested in your implementation details—do you have your code on GitHub or somewhere else?

I learned Sanskrit as a kid and I’m familiar with Dravidian languages as well. They’ve heavily influenced and assimilated each other’s features. Although there are no attestations of Dravidian languages before 5th C BCE, we never know what future discoveries might tell about its connection to IVC, if any.

If we can decipher letters from burnt, rolled up scrolls, I’m sure eventually we’ll figure out what IVCs writings meant.
You should perhaps consider that most people would rather die than be tortured to death and perhaps we feel the same way about animals even if we eat meat - especially primates.
The security deposits are interesting. It would seem, if you had to use the legal system to merely get what you were owed, it was a net negative economically, right?

The eviction "barely covered the cost of repair" so it was also nonetheless a net negative.

It's tough. You are answering the question. I don't know anyone who has had a net positive economic outcome from the courts.

That's nice. The point being a 10 year old, self-confessed 'opinionate mission statement' which has in the intervening years seen some notable pushback (and perhaps progress in the opposition) should not be trotted out as the grandparent did and presented as a case of cadit quaestio.

What's interesting is that even a "view source" shows nothing amiss, and if I do a copy/paste from the debug inspector view of "This sentence has a hidden message󠅟󠅘󠄐󠅝󠅩󠄜󠄐󠅩󠅟󠅥󠄐󠅖󠅟󠅥󠅞󠅔󠄐󠅤󠅘󠅕󠄐󠅘󠅙󠅔󠅔󠅕󠅞󠄐󠅝󠅕󠅣󠅣󠅑󠅗󠅕󠄐󠅙󠅞󠄐󠅤󠅘󠅕󠄐󠅤󠅕󠅨󠅤󠄑." it still shows up....
Yes, that's the reason for the "except for defensive purposes" part. Quoting from Red Hat's promise:

> Our Promise also does not extend to the actions of a party (including past actions) if at any time the party or its affiliate asserts a patent in proceedings against Red Hat (or its affiliate) or any offering of Red Hat (or its affiliate) (including a cross-claim or counterclaim).

Company B may still consult its portfolio and exercise it against Company A defensively, because Company A revoked its license of Company B's patents by asserting against Company B in the first place.

Love the idea and the community aspect!

The issue with local first web dev in my experience is two fold:

1. It's super hard. The problem of syncing data is super hard to solve and there is little support from modern tooling. Mostly because it differs vastly on how you should handle it from app to app.

2. Very few that live in the west or people who pay for software are offline in longer stretches. There is simply very little to no requests for making apps work offline. I would argue to opposite that it probably is mostly bad business because you will get stuck on technical details due to #1 being so hard to solve. Even people who say they will use the app offline are never offline in my experience (from working on a real app that worked offline).

I work on an app that has clear offline benefits, although, pretty much no one will use it offline in practice and where I live, people have 5G access nowadays even at places that used to be offline, aka trains, tunnels etc. Even so, I plan to make my app offline supported but only after I have success with it.
I believe it's more than just an interesting project—it has the potential to be a commercial product.

The bar on lifestyles has been raised all across the board. We live like 18th and 19th century royalty. Royalty today, which is anyone with money, have a lifestyle far beyond anyone in that time could have imagined.

The ability to fly anywhere in the world to buy a pair of shoes and be home for dinner, or summon a fleet of contractors and machines and build a new palace in a matter of months - Thomas Jefferson would have considered these god-like powers. But they're available to anyone with a net worth north of $100m - which is literally tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, 18th and 19th century royalty could afford to hire an army of servants to see to their every need. Most people today are lucky to be able to afford a house cleaner once a week. Forget about a cook or a driver.
The "compact dictionary" representation you're talking about not always using 64-bit numbers, but rather using log(n)-bit values when you have n entries (i.e. using 8-bit values when there's only <= 128 entries). The paper linked here talks about pointers which uses less than log(n)-bits for n entries.

For a real-world use case: Sanity used this trick[0] to encode Content Source Maps[1] into the actual text served on a webpage when it is in "preview mode". This allows an editor to easily trace some piece of content back to a potentially deep content structure just by clicking on the text/content in question.

It has it's drawbacks/limitations - eg you want to prevent adding it for things that needs to be parsed/used verbatim, like date/timestamps, urls, "ids" etc - but it's still a pretty fun trick.

I'm currently hacking away on a mix of https://github.com/speaches-ai/speaches + https://github.com/ufal/whisper_streaming though - mostly because my laptop doesn't have a decent GPU, I stream the audio to a home server instead.

But overall it's pretty simple to do after you wrangle the Python dependencies - all you need is a sink for the text files (for example, create a new file for every Teams meeting, but that's another story...)

They're common in landscaping throughout the US. We had some in our front yard, but us kids knew better than to eat random berries. It's painful for me to think that there are people out there without the common sense not to eat random plants they don't recognize.

Folks visiting the desert and distractedly running straight into octillos is just good entertainment. There's not much on the east coast that prepares you for a random shrub to be so hostile. Poisonous berries though, they're everywhere. I'm surprised your fellows made it to adulthood without basic suburban survival skills.

According to the more detailed data for January 2025, published by the Kraftfahr-Bundesamt:

Model 3 272
Model S 13
Model X 13
Model Y 979
∑ 1277

For comparison the data for January 2024:

Model 3 695
Model S 31
Model X 33
Model Y 2393
∑ 3152

Model Y in both Januaries is still a multiple of ~ 3.5 of the Model 3.

This being culturally rejected by the same America that has itself twice rejected women candidates for president in favour of a man who now has 34 felony convictions, does not surprise me.

But it does disappoint me.

I remember when the right wing were complaining about Star Trek having a woman as a captain for the first time with Voyager. That there had already been women admirals on screen by that point suggested they had not actually watched it, and I thought it was silly.

I remember learning that British politician Ann Widdecombe changed from Church of England to Roman Catholic, citing that the "ordination of women was the last straw", and I thought it was silly.

Back then, actually putting effort into equal opportunity for all was called "political correctness gone mad" by those opposed to it — but I guess the attention span is no longer sufficient to use four-word-phrases as rhetorical applause lights, so y'all switched to a century old word coined by African Americans who wanted to make sure they didn't forget that the Civil War had only ended literal slavery, not changed the attitudes behind it.

This history makes the word itself a very odd thing to encounter in Europe, where we didn't have that civil war — forced end of Empire shortly after World War 2, yes, but none of the memes from the breakaway regions of that era even made it back to this continent, and AFAICT "woke" wasn't one of them anyway. I only know I'm called a "mzungu" by Kenyans because of the person who got me to visit the place.

Is it possible to use Figma designs with this?

It's really hard to get something great through just a chat interface, and I've seen a lot of these AI tools don't allow me to actually give it more to work with like Figma designs.
Why is this accepted?
If it ignores the parameter values, then how does it estimate cardinality? Does it optimize for the worst case scenario (which runs the risk of choosing join implementations that requiring far more data from other tables than makes sense if the parameters are such that only a few rows are returned from the base table), or does it assume a row volume for a more average parameter, which risks long running time or timeouts if the parameter happens to be an outlier?

Consider that Microsoft SQL Server for example, does cache query plans ignoring parameters for the purposes of caching (and will auto-parameterize queries by default), but SQL Server uses the parameter value to estimate cardinalities (and thus join types, etc) when first creating the plan, under the assumption that the first parameters it sees for this query are reasonably representative of future parameters.

That approach can work, but if the first query it sees has outlier parameter values, it may cache a plan that is terrible for more common values, and users may have preferred the plan for the more typical values. Of course, it can be the reverse, where users want the plan that handles the outliers well, because that specific plan is still good enough with the more common values.

How good are LLMs at optimizing queries? Do they just give basic advices like "try adding an index there" or can they do more?

I guess it would need to cross the results of the explain analyze with at least the DDLs of the table (including partitions, indexes, triggers, etc), and like the sizes of the tables and the rate of reads/writes of the tables in some cases, to be able to "understand" and "reason" about what's going on and offer meaningful advices (e.g. proposing design changes for the tables).

I don't see how a generic LLM would be able to do that, but maybe another type of model trained for this task and with access to all the information it needs?
My local public library owns a computerized version of one of these, and I've been itching for a chance to use it for a full-scale project.

That said, based on my small amount of experimenting with it, I have to say I'm not surprised that the home models are hard to find anymore. They're a relic of a bygone era when home knitting was a means to an end, so having a tool to help you get to a specific practical outcome much more quickly was something a lot of people would be interested in already. And that, in turn, creates an opportunity to make products for the subset of that subset of people who still want to make it fancy.

But most knitters nowadays do it because they enjoy the physical process of knitting by hand. So tools like this arguably defeat the purpose of the hobby for a lot of people. The only person I've met who had any interest in actually owning one (instead of getting to play with someone else's, as I want to do) was a visual artist who happened to use textile as one of her media.

And now, in the Internet age, there are online services such Wildemasche that will do custom jacquard knits for you. Just upload a file with your pattern and they'll take care of the rest.
I read the paper a few years ago and I agree that for such an incredible algorithmic improvement, it’s not trivial to find a use case, as you still need to maintain a separate (albeit algorithmically insignificant) lookup table. When I read the paper I (mistakenly) hoped it could be used for indexing on-disk structures without ever hitting the disk for things like B tree internal nodes. To get its sweet sweet algorithmic complexity, up its sleeve is once again (as I recall) the age old trick of rebuilding the structure when the size doubles, which makes it much less efficient than it sounds for most practical use cases. I suppose one good use case for this might be compressing database indexes, where you need to maintain a separate structure anyway and the space savings can be worth it.
Many of them have sued for defamation over being called a nazi and lost because the court ruled that the alleged defamatory statements are true and as such not defamation.
I’m a knitter who’s been considering doing something like this for some time. Thank you for these links. That second one seems like a great jumping off point for this whole world.
Unfortunately, espionage tends to attract “the ends justify the means” types, who then quickly lose track of their own moral compass.

Article fails to explain how to calculate an accurate 'intrinsic value', without which everything else is irrelevant.
There's no proof either way, so we must weigh facts ourselves. Which lie is more likely - an embarrassed driver who wrecked their new Tesla at 50 over the speed limit in a culture that values saving face, or a company with deep pocketbooks to compensate the occasional malfunction instead chooses to risk their entire authorization to sell to 1/5th of the earth by attempting fabricate millions of data points perfectly, any one of which could reveal their lie. The conspiracy levels one entertains can vary a lot person to person. I'm not implying the answer is obvious. It's up to each reader to choose their world model.

The manual described Elevator Feel Shift, Speed Trim, and Stall Management Yaw Damper. It describes the scenarios in which each of these systems activate and what effect they have.

MCAS uses the same hardware but has different scenarios in which it activates and has a different effect. Not knowing of the existence of MCAS and not having a viable procedure to deactivate it if it went haywire was critical to the two accidents. I've looked into this a lot and to my knowledge this was never disclosed to pilots.

Can you provide a reference to MCAS being disclosed prior to the two accidents?

Oregon eliminated burdensome parking regulations in most larger cities and: it's fine.

Many home builders still add parking to new projects because there is market demand for it - and they are also competing for tenants or buyers against existing housing which has parking.

But there is now the flexibility to do some projects without parking, which really helps at the affordable end of the spectrum, and is a good fit for more walkable locations.

Even a middle school teacher will tell you put large amount of current over a wire is an bad idea though. Remember P=I2R? It should be in the first few class that you learn about electricity.

A 2.2% lower turnout, in a county where the Dem's get 71% of the votes, will disproportionately hurt them. Simplistic version -

-2.2% * 71% = -1.6% (D), vs. -2.2% * 29% = -0.6% (R)

- for a 1% "net gain" for the Republicans. Whether one says that 1.5% + 1% is 3%-ish, or assumes (plausibly) that turnout went up a bit in counties which lean heavily Republican, or something else - the extrapolation is fairly well in line with the delta in the national popular vote.
