I think the trouble is information overload is a bit of a thing in this case. It's information that is 99% of the time useless, except the one time it isn't. But also, to an informed user is much less of a threat - the threat is anyone you interact with getting compromised.

EDIT: Like an analytics based approach would probably be far more useful - popping up a confirmation for example if GeoIP shows a device is far removed from all the others, which for most people would be true unless they were traveling.
That looks daring! But any update can undo privacy measures.

I think the safest option is to not allow windows any network access. But that can be a pain in a dev vm, something like visual studio needs to talk with a trillion domains for installing. An MS does not provide static ip-lists for anything azure.

The whole Windows ecosystem experience is such a backwardness, each time I can shut down a win vm I feel relief.

I broke an arm and the emergency room couldn't see it on the x-ray and gave me a sling to wear.

A couple days later I got to see an actual bone doctor and he got the x-ray and immediately pointed to the fracture.

What surprised me was that he said not to use the sling, because it would lose my range of motion.

To add some color to this

Anthropic does a good job of breaking down some common architecture around using these components [1] (good outline of this if you prefer video [2]).

"Agent" is definitely an overloaded term - the best framing of this I've seen is aligns more closely with the Anthropic definition. Specifically, an "agent" is a GenAI system that dynamically identifies the tasks ("steps" from the parent comment) without having to be instructed that those are the steps. There are obvious parallels to the reasoning capabilities that we've seen released in the latest cut of the foundation models.

So for example, the "Agent" would first build a plan for how to address the query, dynamically farm out the steps in that plan to other LLM calls, and then evaluate execution for correctness/success.

Keep in mind they sell a lot of tickets where one of the features that allows for a premium price is that they allow late cancellations or changes to other flights.

Perhaps, but I'm not interested in making a point. I'm interested in discovering why it's not important to you to describe the election result precisely.

What was the participation? 60% or so? I think so. So maybe 30-35% of the people who could have voted for him actually did. In the US population large portions are unable to vote. You correctly pointed out the very young, but also the pre-adolescent young, the disobedient, the non-citizen, the precarious worker, the infirm and so on should also be included.

So the majority you had in mind is rather small compared to what you literally compared it to. I'm guessing the result feels like 'the will of the people' to you anyway? Do you feel like most usians approved of the current regime? Do you also think that 'the will of the people' is inherently democratic? Inherently good, even?

Aries could be 'Unity for fintech'
Just found this super interesting project called Aries Engine. They're pitching themselves as the Unity/Unreal of fintech, which caught my attention. The idea makes sense - before Unreal, game devs would burn cash just building physics engines before touching actual gameplay. Similarly, fintech startups often die dealing with:

Regulatory compliance
Market data fees
Infrastructure/broker-dealer setup
They just got SEC and FINRA (FINRA stands for Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. It's a private, non-governmental organization that regulates the U.S. securities industry) approval and are launching an open development platform that supposedly handles a lot of this. They have built two reference apps they're open-sourcing:

An infinite canvas trading platform (widgets + TradingView/Discord integration)
Mobile trading app
Tech stack includes the usual suspects: commission-free trading APIs, options chain data, real-time feeds, etc. Team apparently built APIs for major brokerages before.

They have 16k+ MVP users. Planning futures/commodities and international. Crypto exchange in the works too (whitepaper available).

FINRA check: https://brokercheck.finra.org/firm/summary/330235

Anyone here tried building fintech products before? Curious how significant this could be. The FINRA approval seems legit, but interested in hearing takes from people who've dealt with these infrastructure problems firsthand.

Tweets talking about it.

Then why should I trust the article at all? If WHOIS data is fake and stolen credentials are common (which I don't disagree with), I could register a domain, put your name on it, and make it look like you're behind the phishing. Would that make it true? After all, in war, deception is a legitimate tactic.
That's perhaps context for this. It's not really "related".

The issue here is Trump calling himself "king", from the official White House account. That is not a title that is given out for ending congestion pricing.
When I learned about meditation as a teenager, I gave it a try.

It was nice, a good way to relax.

Then one day I wondered, could I visualize a lit red candle so vividly that my brain responded as if I were actually seeing it? Not in the amorphous form of imagination but as if the nerves in my eyes were transmitting the image of the candle to my brain.

And I found that I could. Its terrifying at first, but you get used to it.

Then I wondered, if I can meditate so hard that if I can make my eyes see something that is not there, can I meditate so hard that I can make my ears hear things that are not there?

And I can.

And it is far more terrifying. Do not recommend.

It's much harder to control.

The last thing you want when you are alone in your room, deep in meditation and your whole body is humming with the fundamental note of the universe trying to summon a phantom orchestra is to hear someone say things.

That will straight up make you think you are crazy.

Just to be clear, I did check, I don't see things or hear things when I am not trying to make myself see or hear them, and otherwise I am sane enough to operate in modern society.

Showing a big snackbar when a new device is added is probably enough, especially if the app can detect there was no "action" on your phone that triggered it.

I have to imagine that when they term was coined in the 1700s, they avoided using "free markets" because they didn't have a problem with free markets. They aimed to criticize capitalists specifically since it was capitalists and not free markets that we're causing the problems.

Not propaganda, but criticism targeted enough to be constructive. To oppose something as broad as free markets would be pointless.

Do you have any insight on which kind of clothes last longer today? I thought that the rush to "fast fashion" and the shrinking budget for clothing had actually led to the opposite effect [1]. I'd also say that kitchen appliances and home entertainment devices (stereo, record player...) were often kept for decades while today's mobile phones, tablets, streamers, projectors, multi-room entertainment systems etc. are thrown out after 5-10 years because they broke down, their software does not get any updates any more or they don't support the latest and greatest standards any more.

The SE had a pretty huge bezel though. That's an annoying feature of it, but at the same time it means that the screen was actually much smaller than the 16e's screen, and therefore (depending on how you hold it) easier to use one handed, which is what most people who want a small phone are looking for.

100%. I ran a job board where we provided a nice machine readable XML feed of all of our jobs, but we had bots that insisted on using the standard search box. Searching by city using an alphabetized list.

Geographic search to was the most expensive thing they could have done and no matter what we did we couldn’t get them to use the XML feed.

I even tried returning a link to the feed when we detected a bot. No dice. They just kept working around the bot detection.

I get your point. But calling your argument embarrassing is not an ad hominem.

I’m not saying you do not understand. I am implying that in a discussion in the XXIth century about the concept of democracy as it has evolved in both the littérature and the history, and has been demonstrably stable and efficient, “democracy” is understood in the modern acception, and especially here, in the context of the USA Constitution - and there it has the requirements I laid out.

Turning any country today into an antique democracy rule would make no sense, unless you accept a peculiar instability. We have experienced, in many nations, how to adjust and balance how a democracy can work and self-sustain. However, we also still experience how fragile they stay.

And the disappointment is abysmal. Hence, perhaps, me being a tad tense in my words, for that I present my apologies.

Yeah, with downhill biking, “controlling your speed” means making sure you go fast enough to land the jump on the intended downslope. Go too slow and you’ll land wrong.

> The disincentives that have always prevented the executive from blatantly violating the law are still in force and unchanged. They have been functional through 250 years of Presidents testing the limits of their authority.

Can you elaborate on what those disincentives are? I am thinking:

- Impeachment

- Charged with a crime, found guilty, sent to jail. It seems like this one is no longer possible due to Trump v. United States

- Killed by opponents

Without the criminal charges being on the table, those disincentives look a lot weaker to me.
jokes are writing themselves ...
you are mixing up different meanings for the word "interpret". "Authoritative Interpreting law" (or in general interpreting law) doesn't mean "trying to understand what it means" but means "deciding what it means in practice"

especially if you add a "authoritative" in the front it in legal language means they gave themself the right (i.e. authority) to decide (i.e. interpret) how law should be interpreted, i.e. what the meaning behind the written word is in practice

this is 100% without doubt or question not compatible with any democracy (including the US constitution) and is pretty much one of the default approaches Dictators use to get unchecked authority

It means that in practice (assuming people comply with the EO) means they can do whatever they want as they can just willfully absurdly, but with authority , misinterpret laws. Including to e.g. persecute judges which "step out of line", or members of the senate which don't vote for whatever he wants etc.
You can tag each request with arbitrary key-value maps and search over these later. For example, if you add a `x-subtrace-tags: user=foo, project=bar` header on the response, you can apply a `tags.user == "foo"` filter in the dashboard to see all requests across your entire infra from that user and only that user. Each request is pre-populated by default with tags like hostname, pod name, AWS/GCP location, etc.

It's like Honeycomb's wide events but even better because: (1) you can see whole request including the payload alongside the event fields, and (2) it's fully automatic and requires no code changes out of the box (you can incrementally add these tags when you find a need for each one instead of the huge upfront cost from instrumenting the hell out of your codebase).
> Catching is pretty similar no?

In Go, you have to "catch" it at every call level.

> Just to be clear, here we are talking about a function that already returns an exception/error and adding args to it

Yes, but adding an arg doesn't mean modifying the error string, it means adding another piece of data which could be a different type. That's another var, and now every call level has to update to pass along that new var. Unless you change the var from a string to a map, which is a whole different set of headaches.

> Arguably, this type of thing is harder in Java. Adding a new type of exception requires modifying all dependent callers to declare/handle the exception

Only if they need to handle it. If you just want it to bubble up, that function doesn't even need to know about that error or what args it has. That's not the case in Go. Every function has to know about every error that passes through. It's the difference between changing two files and changing 10 files.
Right now no amendment can pass at all. You can look at when amendments pass, and most of the time they come in bunches, when either the parties are unusually close together or one party or the other is unusually powerful.

It is understandable that one would be frustrated with a Raspberry Pi handling critical network services like DNS.

I've been running pi-hole in KVM guest virtual machines for more years than I can remember and never had any problems. I would expect a Raspberry Pi to eventually choke on the demand of providing 24/7 service to a network.

But not everyone has a hypervisor in their basement. Forking over $20/year is definitely better on the budget than buying a server.

But if you already have a server or some reliable hardware in your LAN, there's no good reason to leave anything important up to a Raspberry Pi.
