Heck, one of my co-workers at a FAANG freaked out when he realized that he had used his personal phone to take a picture of a meeting blackboard instead of his corp phone. He spent the afternoon trying to figure out how to scrub the photo.
> A big part of the Svelte ecosystem is still using Svelte stores

Just a nitpick, with runes in Svelte 5, stores have largely become obsolete. $state, $derived, and $effect replace most of the needs people would normally use stores for.
At this point it wouldn’t surprise me if they were using free Android phones they won in a raffle set up by foreign intelligence agents
The devices attached to the 2.5G switch, will be limited to 2.5G per connected port. There won't be any slow down on any other connections. If you still want 10G in the basement, put in a 10G SFP+ switch (they can be had for $15-20 per port and use DACs to control the heat some). You'll only have one shared 10Gbps to the rest of the house, but that is really unlikely to be saturated.

This. I've been using atuin for a few months and this is so horrible how much better it could be with a "real" fzf matching...
I just tried skim shell integration ( https://github.com/skim-rs/skim/tree/master/shell ) and it's great.
I kind of like the extra metadata atuin saves (cwd, session context), but I think I was just waiting to stumble into this to turn atuin back off...

I use Atuin, but unlike the author actually find it more valuable since I use it across many machines. I have 7 different machines (of various make and OS though all *NIX) in my house right now that I regularly SSH in to or use directly, and Atuin's sync keeps my history on all of them. If I want to narrow down by host I can still do that. I also keep similar directory structures so I can narrow down by directory even if I performed a command on a different machine most of the time.

That said, some form of advanced history search is a game changer, no matter how you get it. It's one of those "can't understand how I lived without it" things once you get it going.
This attitude will eventually burn you.
I got DoSed by ClaudeBot (Anthropic) just last week. Hitting a website I manage 700,000 times in one month and tripping our bandwidth limit with our hosting provider. What a PITA to have to investigate that, figure it out, block the user agent, and work with hosting provider support to get the limit lifted as a courtesy.

Noticed that the ChatGPT bot was 2nd in traffic to this site, just not enough to cause trouble.
netatop is not in Debian, and the atop package doesn't include any .ko files.

This has me wondering what it would take to do a bcrypt style slow hashing requirement to retrieve data from a site. Something fast enough that a single mobile client for a user wouldn't really feel the difference. But an automated scraper would get bogged down in the calculations.

Data is presented to the user with multiple layers of encryption that they use their personal key to decrypt. This might add an extra 200ms to decrypt. Degrades the user experience slightly but creates a bottleneck for large-scale bots.

The preprocessor is part of C++.

I agree that you can go too far with it and it becomes better to do it a different way, but the X-macros technique is straightforward and easy to understand.
And for catching up on what a 'rune' is.. that's the `$derived` and `$effect` there, basically $-prefixed built-in things? Has that entirely replaced `$:` or is it as well as? Svelte seems to have got more complicated since I last used it!

The upper respiratory tract mucosal tissues are the places most respiratory viruses colonize first upon subject exposure. Intranasal vaccines can trigger mucosal immunity, especially secretory IgA antibodies, right at the site of infection. That’s something injected vaccines usually can’t do well.

Even if an injectable vaccine is able to prevent severe disease from those kinds of viruses, it is not completely "sterilizing" as the virus will still replicate on those mucosas and will be able to be spread even if in a less virulent fashion. Intranasal vaccines have the potential to stop those viruses before they have a chance to take hold.
They are playing with semantics on minor technicalities that are irrelevant because federal code is expansive enough to make this breach a clear violation of the law on multiple counts. The Senators rightly grilled these incompetents on why couldn't they disclose the nature of the communications if they were unclassified and not sensitive.

Peacy – An AI Agent for mediating conflicts
Hi all!
I’m excited to share Peacy, a project that I built to harness AI for promoting non-violent communication and resolving conflicts. Inspired by a shared vision of building tools that foster understanding and peace, Peacy is designed to support healthier dialogues in both personal and professional contexts.

What is Peacy?

Peacy is an AI agent that:

- Uses principles of non-violent communication:* Helps mediate conflicts by promoting respectful and empathetic conversations.
- Facilitates thoughtful dialogue: Listens to group discussions and responds only when activated by a wake word (e.g., "Peacy", "PC").
- Expands its reach: Will soon integrate with platforms like Spotify, X, and even to provide seamless multi-channel support.

Why Peacy?

In a world where conflicts can escalate quickly, we believe technology can play a pivotal role in diffusing tensions and promoting constructive communication. With Peacy, our goal is to empower users with a tool that understands not only language but also the emotions and intentions behind it.

Technologies & Features

Peacy is built using a robust stack of modern technologies:

- Python: The core language powering Peacy.
- Llama language model (via the Groq API):* For generating thoughtful and empathetic responses.
- ChromaDB & LangChain:* Used for persistent memory and vector search to maintain context-aware interactions.
- PostgreSQL: Stores structured user profiles and conversation summaries for continuity across sessions.
- Additional Tools: Includes APScheduler for background tasks, along with integration-ready scripts for maintenance and reset.

For more details, check out the GitHub repo README: https://github.com/canberkvarli/peacy/blob/main/README.md to get a better idea of the technical stack and features.

Get Involved:

I’m looking for feedback, stars on the GitHub repo, and pull requests to help shape the future of Peacy. Whether you’re a developer, designer, or simply passionate about creating a more empathetic digital world, your contributions and insights are welcome!

- GitHub Repo: https://github.com/canberkvarli/peacy
- Join the Conversation: Let’s build a community around conflict resolution and non-violent communication!

Thank you for checking out Peacy. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and working together to bring more peace into our digital interactions.

With Love,

Canberk
CIA Director Reveals Signal Comes Installed on Agency Computers
> better at encouraging walking/cycling around

This doesn't match my personal experience, at all. Even the cutest and most pedestrian friendly suburbs have far less walking than typical cities, with faster more dangerous traffic, and less infrastructure for alternative modes of travel.

> far more likely to see kids biking/wandering around neighborhoods in the suburbs than in the city

This also doesn't come close to matching my personal experience (though it does match many people's inaccurate stereotypes, which I have heard repeatedly in conversations with people who don't live in cities). There are tons of kids and families around in cities.

> eliminating through traffic means that people are able to use the area much more freely

Quite the opposite. Cul-de-sacs cut places off from easy pedestrian access and make it usually significantly more difficult and dangerous to get anywhere by walking, because to get to destinations requires crossing massive (sometimes 6–10 lane) quasi-highways with high-speed traffic. Such places typically also come with separated residential and commercial zones and few useful destinations nearby: not as many schools, museums, libraries, parks, coffee shops, restaurants, retail stores, etc. within a reasonable distance, and lower population density with much more pavement per person. The predicable result is that in most places with many cul-de-sacs hardly any trips are made on foot or bike and people end up driving everywhere. Public transit also tends to suck in places with cul-de-sacs everywhere.
because hackernews is full of people who cultivate a specific naivety when it comes to power so they don't have to contemplate their responsibility or position therin. its endemic and I have a hobby pointing it out again, and again, and again.

Well. I think that's sort of what I like about Svelte. There's a lot less opportunity to make bad decisions.
The head of foam on that glass of wine is perfect!
> I don't disagree with you, but I think we can do something to accelerate such process. Maybe not 1,000 years, maybe just a few generations? After all we already made the progress and now need to relearn and rebuild it.

Consider as a counter example the Antikythera mechanism[0]. It took well over a millennium for collective knowledge to reach the same point such that similar devices could be created.

For immediate survival needs, rediscovery would very likely be quicker. Things like crop irrigation, water management in general, and/or food preservation I imagine would be the quickest to be rediscovered.

I’m always reminded of the essay: Isiah’s job by Albert Jay Nock. https://mises.org/mises-daily/isaiahs-job

Publicizing your work, will certainly let it be known to the masses, but aiming for the masses means that the half life of your work is in years. Work that stands the test of time, does not need publicizing. People of a high caliber will find it and proceed to further honor you for your work, your focus should be only on excellence which truly matters in standing the test of time.
I can see it from this perspective, thank you
The models can be sycophantic, but they're also pretty good at correcting false claims.

Probably better than human communities who bond over having fringe ideological beliefs.
Chances are one your friends/ family will eventually be compromised in some way.

Was any classified information shared on Signal?
You want a better outcome.

Culture transmission is more effective when followers can emulate leaders — so you’ll have an easier time getting people to obey when your goal is to get them to act the way you do. In this case, you’ll expend less political capital on enforcing your policy regarding code reviews and testing if you adhere to the same policy. (And accordingly, have an easier time avoiding disgrace like public failures if your service.)

If you want to view it purely through the lens of power politics, saving your political capital on issues like this preserves it for things with better rewards — eg, you’ll have an easier time getting your projects approved if your manager isn’t constantly having to deal with the fallout of your policy double standards impacting morale. Or for setting a standard that working fewer hours is acceptable if you’re meeting your quotas — which nobody can dispute you’re doing, as the whole teams is validating that you are.

This kind of petty power game is rarely an optimal exercise of power.
Agree. Loved Svelte, but after the update I made the switch to React and can’t imagine going back outside of small, static viz apps.
atop was a happy medium between btop/htop and a full tracing tool like perf.

One could say the same thing about empathy, another "basic" skill.

Imagine how you'd rush to justify your lack of it here.

Everything you'd say in your defense would equally explain why someone wouldn't know the meaning of a certain unmarked number in the output of a random shell command.
Internet comments are inherently reductionist.
Is this false? I see it's being downvoted, leading me to believe people question its veracity
Higher education institutions, like all bureaucracies, exist largely to sustain and validate their own existence. In this hypothetical scenario, if they admitted the masters student who taught themselves an undergrad equivalent with AI, that would be inherently admitting that their own undergrad programs aren't worth it / aren't necessary. They are not incentivized to do this.

As someone that grew up in a Latin America country watching dubbed movies my whole life I welcome this technology. Dubbed movies are usually terrible with subpar performances and recycled voices.

It sucks it will kill a large field for actors, but AI has the capacity to be much better with voices and performances that mimic the actors.
That's like saying all human's lives are wasted because no other species will know of them.

In a Senate hearing today, CIA Director John Ratcliffe said, under oath:
“One of the first things that happened when I was confirmed as CIA director was Signal was loaded onto my computer at the CIA, as it is for most CIA officers. One of the things that I was briefed on very early, senator, was by the CIA records management folks about the use of Signal as a permissible work use. It is. That is a practice that preceded the current administration to the Biden administration.”
All SSM, all the way. I even gravely considered using their IAM Anywhere capabilities to jump onto Azure or GCP instances, before that project was overcome by events

I'm cheating you a little bit, though, because for the most part once a VM gets kubelet on it, I'm off to the races. Only in very, very, very bad circumstances does getting on the actual Node help me

I also recently have started using <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide...> to even get sequestered cluster access via $(aws ssm start-session --document-name AWS-StartPortForwardingSessionToRemoteHost) although the "bootstrapping" problem of finding the instance-id to feed into --target is a pain. I wish they offered https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide... in the spirit of "yeah, yeah, just pick one" versus making me run $(aws ec2 describe-instances --filter | head -n1) type thing
Author here; RAM is so much more expensive than disk though. Two 500G M.2 NVMes for a RootFS in RAID1 are basically max ~$150 which is I think much cheaper than a single 64G DDR5 ECC RAM module [I don't have exact numbers on me, but ECC RAM is pricey]. It's also a lot harder to debug when things go wrong because you lose the machines state if everything was ephemeral.

We run a thin base OS on the boxes and then VMs on top which we consider more ephemeral. The frequency of needing to update that base OS is v. low.

I think there's a case for building a custom PXE booted RAMdisk image to replace the install though; something like what Equinix Metal (formerly Packet) do with Tinkerbell (https://github.com/tinkerbell); they call it an OS Install Environment, but the idea is a small lightweight linux install agent that can DD a golden image onto the disk (vs. an install each time).

Frankly, to imagine that things aren't getting worse for women, bipoc and lgbtq+ people at this point means you've either lived under a rock, in which case, "Welcome!

> Paris downtown

Where is downtown Paris? 1/2/3 arrondissement? I never heard the term used for Paris. Mostly, it is used to describe the Wall Street area of Manhattan (NYC) as the island is relatively north-south and Wall Street is on the southern end.
I think that answer was poorly phrased because those possibilities are eliminated in a sense. There is a better answer further in the thread that explains "If the solution was not one of the flipped triplets, then the first player would not have worked out the solution." Thus if it was one of your other infinite triplets (eg. 65, 12, 53) then round 2 player 1 would've still answered 'I don't know'. Since they did respond with a definitive answer it had to be one of the formula solutions, since those were the only solutions they could prove. And since the only formula with a factor in 65 is 5 the correct formula must be [5A, 2A, 3A] and thus [65, 26, 39].

You should be able to generate an infinite number of these problems just by multiplying the first formula factor by a prime number. Like the same question but the person answers '52' restricts you to either [4a, 3a, a] or [4a, a, 3a]. Since the question only asks for the product of all the terms the answer is 4 * 13 + 3 * 13 + 13 = 104.
This leak proves that the trust in Signal is not justified. Yes, their crypto didn’t fail, but the system did. If you’re having a classified conversation electronically, you really want the system to check that the participants are supposed to be privy to this information. If some rando is in the chat, there should be a big, loud “some rando is in the chat, don’t share any secrets” alert.

Obviously, Signal is not meant for this sort of thing, so it has no reason for such a feature. It’s not a failing of Signal, but it’s not fit for this purpose.
Your images say "Created with DALL-E", so you have not tried out the new model yet. I think they are gradually rolling it out.
> if this practice were to continue

My prediction is, given the way the narrative is shifting to digging in their heels and insisting they did nothing wrong, the lesson they are learning from all this is that they should have hid their activity better. Nothing will happen to them, they will continue with impunity, and they'll just be more careful about not inviting outsiders. I suspect this isn't the last leaked top-secret group chat we'll see.
That might be considered fine if Google's larger goal is to make money from enterprises/Workspace integration, using consumer launches as splashy PR.
