And they actually work! Voice quality is good. There's no echo. There's sidetone, to prevent people from talking too loud.

Yesterday, I was trying to talk to someone whose iPhone is dying. Three disconnects. Hearing myself echoed back after about a second. Too much background noise. Gave up and sent email.

(I miss the days of ISDN voice. 56Kb/s end to end. Full duplex.
Rigidly synchronized at the bit level; no packet jitter.
That's the best phone calls ever got.)
Not my post but used to work on these test launches years ago. I can answer some not-classified questions.
There is a Typst package called MiTeX that supports at least some basic TeX input.

I think there's some link between the two. Like Polymer was handed off to a new team/owner/governance model and was renamed to Lit in the process. Could be wrong, but that's what I've gathered.
Verify it how exactly? By taking Trump's word for it?
If you don’t do it, someone will, and the opportunity will be lost. Move quickly.
I usually tell people, "It's like iMessage, but it works on iPhone and Android," or "Hey, if you download Signal we can send high-quality photos between Android and iPhone."
Is this a different method from the httptap [1] that was on hackernews a few weeks ago? Somebody in that post seemed to say that it also generates CA certificates on the fly.

Where does it store configuration info? (e.g. like the flag that you chose the "Standalone" option)

Is there a forum, or something non-Discord where you can see community-answered tech questions previously asked (without having to log into anything)?
Putting aside every instinct I have to join the choir voicing every issue I have with blaming the victim and cozying up to the agitator, or to challenge your charitable view of Trump's motivations...

I'm genuinely interested to hear your take on the likely and potential repercussions of rewarding Russia/Putin for their aggression. What makes you confident that they won't reasonably perceive this outcome as tacit permission to start coming for other territory?

Putin loves working off maps from the 1800s. Finland, for example, is a likely future target.

Not to be hyperbolic, but there's a good reason you aren't supposed to negotiate with terrorists.
Pointing out that the statement is false in the most uninteresting literal sense is just odd. Sure, you can be sued for that in the same sense that you can be sued for eating a croissant. Glad we got to the bottom of that.
Yeah, they are doing less than 1 transaction per week per ATM. There is no way that can be a profitable business accounting for costs of the ATMs and rent.
Sure, that's one way of looking at it. My product may fall flat on it's face (most likely outcome) so I wasn't interested in solving the problem before I had it.

But my mindset isn't YOLO. I genuinely would like to find a mutually beneficial way for it to work. Lots of ideas like revenue share but I'm hoping other ideas emerge.
Some Russian missiles have even been seen turning 180 degrees!
I agree with some asterisks. For me at least my perception of how physically attractive someone is, is also affected by their kindness/empathy levels.

There have been a lot of conventionally attractive women in my life that looked ugly af when they said something sucky like "ugh why doesn't that beggar get a job instead of begging".
Most of the complexity arises from the simple fact that the job is unavoidably adversarial when it comes to criminals.

Deception is an natural strategy with upside for catching criminals. It could be banned, but there would be a non-zero cost to enforcement. The public generally wants to have it's cake and eat it tool
My iPhone today last for less than a day while I dont watch any video on it, In fact, i barely use it currently, and it still drains batteries in no time.

Odd. I wonder if you have some apps updating in the background a lot.

Both my personal and my work iPhones are two-years-old, and both will last several days even with audio streaming.

I put my work phone in its drawer last Thursday, and when I took it out on Tuesday, it still had 11% left.
I haven't touched it since it was still called "AngularJS", but I remember AngularJS kind of felt like they were trying to make it so you write "Java" in "JavaScript". Ember too, if I remember correctly.
I'm not sure any public statements on nuclear doctrine should be taken literally.

After reading the official statements of nuclear use,

Like the latest one from Russia (Dec. 2024) which pretty much amounts to "whenever the fuck we feel like it?"

https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2024-12/news/russia-revises-...

It says that Russia may use nuclear weapons in the event
of “aggression against the Russian Federation and/or the
Republic of Belarus…with the use of conventional weapons,
creating a critical threat to their sovereignty and/or
territorial integrity.”

Of course, they don't define what "critical threat" means. Ukraine has occupied Kursk for half a year now. Is that... a threat? A critical one?
Although its called "We Are The Music Makers", thats a reference to an Aphex Twin track of the same name and its primarily an Aphex Twin/Autechre/IDM/Warp Records electronic music (and/or general nonsense) discussion board. There is an active subforum called EKT (dont ask) where people discuss making their own music.

I believe there's an unrelated subreddit called r/watmm that is more literally about music making.
My high level take on this saga is: welcome to the Chinese century.

It's very common for companies that are failing to adopt uncreative reactive strategies that hasten their collapse. Look at the history of Kodak for some good examples. MAGA is that for the United States -- respond to the challenges of the new century by going back to the 1950s. MAGA (and Project 2025) is going to turbocharge American decline.

The pathetic thing is that while the US (like everyone else) has significant problems, it was not "failing," but we decided to do this anyway largely because of culture war panic bullshit.

Before this, America was in a place where it could credibly have continued to hold onto its global power. Its higher birth rate combined with a high immigration rate from all over the world meant its demographics were much better than China's. It was the world's #1 destination for high skill immigrants. The dollar is the global reserve, and that's hard to unseat due to network effects. Its military is still the most powerful. It still has an edge in many areas of high technology. Its universities are still arguably the best. It's still arguably the center of global pop culture.

Now it looks like we will systematically forfeit all that. We'll close our borders to general migration and will no longer be an attractive destination for skilled immigration. By removing reproductive rights I predict we'll actually decrease the birth rate by driving people to sterilize themselves (already happening) and driving a further wedge between genders (see the Korean 4B movement). The dollar will start losing ground. Our military may stay dominant for a while but will gradually slip with everything else. We'll gradually lose our technological edge to brain drain and lack of high skill immigration. We're going to run some kind of culture war purge on the universities or maybe even defund the best higher education system in the world. We'll lose our cultural edge because right wing culture warriors will drive away all the artists.

Imagine Germany without Naziism where they drove away or killed all their intellectuals. Imagine if Weimar Germany with its incredible intellectual and cultural scene had recovered economically and remained functional. They had the greatest minds in physics, philosophy, psychology, mathematics, and many areas of engineering. It's likely that without Hitler Germany would have developed the microprocessor, ArpaNet and Silicon Valley would have been German, the Germans would have landed on the Moon, etc.

Muscular reactionary politics is a cult of what looks strong, not what is strong.

I love the concept, but doesn't this just open the same door to bots? Especially if they think they are getting fast tracked. Search LinkedIn for these links -> autofill them.

I do really love your website (at least on mobile): your /r link is the perfect elevator pitch. Your main home page is well designed and provides a lot of details without being overwhelming.
The most straightforward way would probably be using your model to learn what recipes to serve to what users, but then requiring users to leave your app (or just open a window in-app) that loads the website so they can use the recipe. That wouldn't even necessarily be a bad thing; it could open the door for you include recipes delivered in non-text format, too, assuming you can figure out how to digest them.

Agreed. The brave/BAT model fits here: create an "account" for each recipe author (could just be an entry in the database), and set aside money for each of them. Then reach out to each one and say: "hey do you want this money?"
Especially for a free service!

Think about other ad-supported sites. If you're an engineer working on an ad-supported product, the perfect consistency you strive for in your code is not the product. The product is the sum of all of the content the user sees. And the costs of the tradeoffs you make are paid for by ads.

Am I willing to see 10x more ads for perfect consistency? Definitely not.
They rewrote Teams and it's good now.
So, should they hire 10% more NSF employees to be even more efficient?

Or is it your position that NSF has optimal number of employees for managing $9B of grants and adding one more or subtracting one would make NSF less efficient?

If you could provide chain of reasoning that led you to opine that the current number of NSF employees is the optimal one?
Maybe Warner’s diagnosis of the 2024 election is wrong-but that’s not my point.

My point: it would be rather strange for leading Democrats to come to believe their party is being harmed by its own extreme element if that element was non-existent or completely lacking in any relevance.
How can it be that we invented this marvelous tool to connect us, and then we proved unable to make full use of it?

What alternative design did you have in mind, given that a Twitter-like data model of individual follows is likely a strict product requirement?

There are obviously other ways of doing it (doing the timeline propagation in a batch job, fanning out the reads rather than the writes), but they've got their own problems. Probably worse ones.
No, overbooking is a business decision justified by the fact that, statistically, not all passengers will actually show up for their flight, and lower load factors cost money.
> the Democrats are ineffectual by design.

The Democrats are people who believe in the rule of law, and they act like it. When pitted against people who have no qualms to win at all costs, even it means breaking the law and destroying the constitution, Democrats lose; if you value those things you can't preserve them by destroying them yourself. We are where we are because Republicans convinced themselves they deserved the power they have taken. The people who voted for them were convinced as well. That's the only failure we should be talking about right now. The Democrats, flawed as they are, did the right thing.

That said, they will not be the people to lead us out of this. They know how to fundraise, campaign, and maintain the status quo. They're not built for this, so it's time to just look for someone new rather than try to reform people who are clearly not made for this moment.
However you read the constitution it's not the way courts interpret constitution now. Unitary executive branch doesn't exist for last ~135 years, and was under scrutiny before that (and with way smaller federal government).

With current supreme court nothing is sacred for sure, but overturning this and granting universal executive power into hands of president would be a disaster leading towards either authocracy or revolution. And yeah - that's all very similar to how fascism started, whether you would like to see it or not.
ICBM interceptors have an insurmountable economic problem when facing a peer adversary. They cost as much as an ICBM does, so immediately you need to spend as much on defense as they spend on offense. Then consider that your interceptors might miss, and defend a limited area while the enemy's ICBMs can target anywhere, and you need to spend quite a bit more than they do. Add in MIRVs and suddenly you need to spend an order of magnitude more money to defend. If they want to, they can always outmatch your defenses.
I love the Windows 98 clip art.
Consider this hypothetical: a federal judge rules against the Trump administration's firing of the inspectors general and must offer the fired employees their positions back. The Attorney General says the judge overstepped his constitutional power and calls the ruling invalid. What should the person who would've rehired the employees do?

Continue that hypothetical further: the case makes its way to the Supreme Court, who agrees with the federal judge. The executive branch continues to ignore the order. The Attorney General is held in contempt of court and fined a large amount of money. Who's going to collect it? Any executive branch employee trying to carry out that fine would be violating this executive order, and be dismissed. So the fine would never happen.

Considering the president and vice president's recent disdain for judicial rulings against them, this may happen.

But the point stands, doesn't it?

I wasn't talking about "continued existence" in general, but about defense against an invasion ("being conquered", I defaulted to "by military invasion"). The Republic of Ireland doesn't have an army that could defend it, it would have to rely on more powerful allies. (I'm discounting guerrilla resistance by civilians, etc).

> Is there a example of a modern city state being conquered?

I think there are no modern city states in the same sense that ancient Athens, Rome, Carthage, Sparta, or Renaissance Florence and Milan were.
Precision targeted small explosives generally get the
job you need done much better that destroy the whole earth.

Right, but if your foe can afford more precision targeted small explosives, then nukes start looking attractive to the North Koreas of the world.
In contrast to the failed Nikola approach there's a small Aussie company that seems to be doing quite well with electric truck conversions. Rather than build in batteries like in cars they swap packs using a forklift -

vid https://youtu.be/9eYLtPSf7PY?t=145

Seems quite a good idea to me - it's a different market to cars where no one wants to muck around with forklifts, whereas with trucks they use forklifts to load stuff anyway and people don't especially want to have to plug it in for hours to recharge.

Also you can charge the batteries while not installed using things like solar, whereas with built in batteries like on the Tesla semi you need a lot of grid power to supercharge.
Physiognomy is just a name for the heuristic described in the article.
Create an account you own instead of having someone else run it. Maybe you can get your data, maybe you can ask Bluesky for a review (there were bugs and scaling issues against bot networks that cause false positives)

I'm not seeing that handle resolve in the normal places. Do you have the DID? You should use a custom domain so that you can control the the reference and lookup.

You can run your own PDS and manage complete account lifecycle
> nor does the President "interpret" the law; that is the domain of the Judiciary

Everyone tasked with enforcing a law must necessarily interpret its meaning. The judiciary gets the final say though.
+1 - There's already integrated search in the app where users can search for recipes from the web and preview the recipe site where ads are displayed. They don't have to leave the app to do it if they don't have a URL to paste in.
It’d be neat to use subtrace in an ephemeral pod for debugging purposes, that just runs alongside the regular pod.

For monitoring the network traffic for the whole cluster, the CNI and/or whatever ebpf-based runtime security stuff you’re using (falco, tetragon, tracee) is usually enough, but I can definitely see the usefulness of subtract for more specific debugging purposes. If run as a DaemonSet make sure to add some pod filtering such as namespace and label selectors (but I’m sure you’ve already thought about that).
Whataboutism isn't a valid defense against my original point, which was why are we hiring people when we are so deeply in debt.

For the record, I personally am completely against the tax cuts.
Horrifying, and it plays right into Putin's desires.

I'm not going to run interference against all the comments you're writing on this thread, because I don't think Signal needs the help and it would make the thread ultra-tedious. But during the brief window where people were taking Wire seriously as a Signal alternative, I'd occasionally write a comment or tweet like:

Were you aware that Wire keeps a high-fidelity plaintext database of exactly who talks to who on their platform?

And people were reliably startled. But all that was happening was that ordinary users have no mental model for how a secure messenger is designed, and hadn't thought through how serverside contact lists that magically work no matter what device you enroll in the system were actually designed.

So here I'll just say: the stuff you're saying about Signal is pretty banal and uninteresting. The SGX+Enclave stuff is Signal's answer to something every other mainstream messenger does even worse than that. By all means, flunk them on their purity test!

US survey 2021

Earth is flat, not round

10% agree
9% unsure
80% disagree

With statistics like this, no state of affairs will surprise me. Perhaps needless to say, there's no reason to think whole 80% is reasonable; you'd expect a smooth gradient going across the 19%/80%, not through the 1% (which is lost in rounding I guess) but perhaps through most of the society, with only a small fraction of it being truly reasonable.

The educational system succeeded in teaching writing and reading, and not with much more, not when it comes to masses.
And when you live. The 20s-30s year old crowd I interact with seems to avoid, if not mock FB. I recognize it has its uses and benefits, though.

>but still must be fired for cause.

For all of the talk about "fraud" this is exactly that. All of these thousands of people are being told that they're being let go for "performance reasons" in clearly template emails which is just false. I've been reading stories people are posting about receiving these severance emails in shock because they'd just been praised for their performance, or showing them to their bosses who are also shocked because the bosses weren't informed at all and had no issues with the employee.

There are going to be endless lawsuits about this. The expense and waste of time is going to be enormous. But it achieves their real goal of crippling these agencies and reducing oversight for businesses.
Maybe just a hidden form field with “are_you_a_bot” characteristics if necessary. Otherwise things like sql injection prevention may come out of the box with frameworks like rails
Sure, and when they are doing that they are doing goon work. The rest of the time they're doing what they are actually employed to do.

All jobs are made up of numerous tasks, but just because the CEO tidies his desk periodically does not make him a janitorial worker.
I'm a little shocked by the use of beacons outside of manufacturing or logistics or robot safety contexts.

Anything you want to track in the meat realm, especially a place like an airport, the airtag or google equivalent mesh networks are going to be far more dense than your beacons and last forever with no power required.
No, it really isn't, because the disagreement in interpretation stems from the obvious fact that Claude isn't aware of all the other blatantly illegal acts that the Trump administration is currently performing.
