No, this isn't just about Hegseth. Any of the people on the chat could and should have said...

* Signal isn't an approved communications method for national security information at all.

* Who is this extra person on this chat? (and Hegseth wasn't even the one who added him apparently.)

* Having the only record [1] of this be auto deleting definitively violates the Federal Records Act (even if signal were an approved platform).

This is about group malfeasance and normalization of deviance.

This has almost always been the issue when working with clients on why our emails never appear. In the end they have some weird middleware that rewrites things and then the next level of the stack sees the middleware as the sender of the email for our domain which fails as it's not an approved sender by SPF and dkim signatures don't validate.

A fresh, plain setup on office 365 doesn't fail, but however their security department reconfigured things causes it to fail.

I've never been on the configuration side of M365 email like that, only basic cheap tier stuff and only briefly. I can't say what they're doing, but the same settings sending to practically any other email provider or even other 365 tenants works perfectly fine.
I think the point of the article is that you can do this without an app and the previous posters point is that app encourage low effort impersonal interactions instead of the personal community you want. So every app just quickly desolves into another nextdoor. Why don't you try asking the next neighbour you see to have a coffee, or do the same as the people in the article and take a camping chair and a coffee one Saturday morning and sit in front of your building?
just checked my pihole logs and almost all entries are answered by local cache. this is great.
Would you say that was always the case, or just a more recent development?
this is fun! I enjoyed playing
I entered "meat" and it matched "chicken" as a correct answer. "Ham" was also a correct answer that I failed to guess. In my mind, both "chicken" and "ham" fall under the "meat" category. If a guess is not specific enough to differentiate between two possible correct responses, I think you should mark it incorrect.
Even before we had some unelected mentally ill person making Nazi salutes at a US Presidential inauguration, and then still handed them unprecedented powers to disassemble our government... and a whole lot of people seeming fine with that...

The signs of a populace with wildly conflicting values, a lot of anger, a lot of mental illness, and a lot of cognitive problems and knowledge deficit... has been apparent in online comments for a couple decades.

One thing with NextDoor might be that it's developed a reputation. So that many people expect that the typical post will be some alarmed retiree posting a doorbell cam photo of a "suspicious person" going to doors on their street, who was obviously delivering packages while being nonwhite. In real life, most people would minimize interaction with the alarmed person, not install an app to get more of it.

Another thing with NextDoor is that some aspects of the experience are really user hostile. Besides the ad saturation-bombing, and the user interface that could use some cleanup and straigtening-out, there's things like 2FA (for Nextdoor!). I'd love to see numbers on how many users that 2FA alone cost them, and what they got in return. A UI cleanup is possible only if it's not overruled by the people doing the ad saturation, where user confusion just means more opportunity to show ads (until those users dont' come back, and don't bring their friends, but that's someone else's KPI this quarter).
That's a non-sequitur, they would be stupid to run ab expensive _L_LM for every search query. This post is not about Google Search being replaced by Gemini 2.5 and/or a chatbot.
Are you sure you were even using the model from the post?
With recent pace of model updates, I wonder which factor is more important: hardware assets, software/talent, or data access. Google clearly is in the lead in terms of data access in my view. If I am a top talent in AI, I’d go where I can work with the best data no?
The issue is that there’s nothing that requires prosecution, just allows it.

Pretty sure in Brooklyn, and other NYC boroughs, that is more of a cultural thing rather than a "try to create a sense of neighborliness" thing.

As a cultural thing, that type of community behavior has likely been going on for most of the past century in NYC.

But the person in the article tries to create that in a place where there is no cultural proclivity to that kind of behavior. That's actually a far more difficult thing to do.

Still, it is awesome to have it just as a cultural practice. No question.

You'd have better results if you had prompted it with the actual answer and asked how the first person came to the conclusion. Giving a number in the training set is very easy.

i.e. You observe three people in a magical room. The first person is standing underneath a 65, the second person is standing underneath a 26 and the third person is standing underneath a 39. They can see the others numbers but not the one they are directly under. You tell them one of the three numbers is the sum of the other two and all numbers are positive integers. You ask the first person for their number, they respond that they don't know. You ask the second person for their number, they respond that they don't know. You ask the third person, they respond that they don't know. You ask the first person again and they respond with the correct value, how did they know?

And of course, if it responds with a verbatim answer in the line of https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/32m611/logic_question..., we can be pretty confident what's happening under the hood.
Yeah, so have reports when you start, but once you get things set up correctly, turn off the reports. If you break things later, you should find out quickly when mail is refused, and you can turn on reports again, if you need to.

"Drink water", extra spicy:

---->

Identify the need to stay hydrated

Determine the time of day to drink water

Locate a clean source of water

Decide which container to use for drinking

If using a bottle, check if it’s clean

If using a glass, wash it if necessary

Go to the location of the water source

Open the water source

If it’s a tap, turn on the faucet

If it’s a bottled water, twist off the cap

Position your chosen container under the water source

Fill the container with water

Monitor the amount of water being poured

Stop pouring when the container is sufficiently full

Turn off the water source if applicable

If using a bottle, securely close the cap

If using a glass, hold the glass in your hand

Bring the container close to your mouth

Tilt the container slightly

Allow the water to flow into your mouth

Ensure that you are swallowing the water

Continue drinking until you feel satisfied

Place the container back down on a surface

If applicable, wipe your mouth with a tissue

Notice how your body feels after drinking

Reflect on the importance of hydration

Make a mental note to drink water regularly

Plan for the next time to drink water

If you have used a glass, wash it after use

If using a bottle, check if it needs refilling

Recognize when your thirst returns

Consider drinking water with meals in the future

Remind others around you about the benefits of drinking water

Incorporate water-drinking breaks into your daily routine

Stay aware of your personal hydration goals

Adjust your water intake based on physical activity

Explore flavored water options if desired

Track your water consumption if it helps you stay accountable

Celebrate when you reach your hydration goals
Hahaha...it has always been a farce, just like Twitter and Musk are for free speech and DOGE is about transparency.

Not OP but I've also seen this. I think some of the servers in question were "outlook-protection" in their domain names. Some kind of managed service middleware in the stack to do additional scanning.
While I understand the narrative you're proposing, what I brought with my source was a collection of evidence where pharmacological innovation happened at an unaltered rate pre and post patents in e.g. Italy and Switzerland. While I understand the hypothesis of "Pharma innovation, due to high costs of entry, only happens (or is greatly improved) when guaranteed a monopoly", it doesn't seem to be backed by the data.

I agree with you in principle though - if all that were stopping us from achieving a cure were a 40 year patent, I would support your 1-day monarchy in a heartbeat.

Chapters 9 and 10 of the book cover this in more detail if you're interested (very self-contained).
Yeah, the next time I have to submit a SAAR form for military network access, and they request my Information Awareness Annual Training certification as an attachment, it's going to be hard to not laugh in their face. We were getting scolded about "not even searching the 'Net for the content of the Teixeira leaks because possessing classified info could be prosecuted" and these guys are discussing upcoming strike packages in their Signal chat? Un-fucking-real.
I've been organizing a weekly morning coffee session in Astoria, Queens for the last 2 (or 3?) years. The morning coffees are connected to our local tech community's series of meetups, but they aren't hyper-focused on tech and they don't have an agenda. Just a chance to meet neighbors.

It's really been beneficial for me and my family, who aren't from here, to get to know more people in the neighborhood. These days I feel like it's a rarity to go outside without bumping into someone we know.

It's also been awesome to see friendships and even collaborations form among people in the group.

I recommend people give it a shot wherever they live. And if you're in NYC, come visit!
I live in suburbia and one of the neighbors periodically hosts coffee and pastries in their front yard. I also do happy hour at different houses. I never got this community feel living in SF for 10 years.

This issue is really damning:

> Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers. When a legitimate user from a Pixelfed instance follows you on your locked fediverse account, anyone on that Pixelfed instance can read your private posts. You don’t need to be a Pixelfed user to be affected.

The fediverse is really not ready to be a serious alternative to anything with issues like this.

> I’m disappointed by how Pixelfed managed the vulnerability. From a project with (supposedly) more than 150k monthly active users and generous funding, expect better.

Do better with what resources? Pixelfed has around <$100K in funding and ~150k "users" using it and the author expects them to do more? Clearly they cannot and are not making money. So what did the author expect? They are not Meta Platforms Inc with billions of dollars and users.

But in other news the 44th President of the United States (Barack Obama) just signed up to Bluesky. Tells you all you need to know about where the users from X are going to and it is not the fediverse.

except that the conversation in question, and similar such conversations, are required by federal law to be archived.

Clueless is the wrong word. Calculated is.
I have a much bigger issue with "legitimate" spam these days. Every service makes you give an email address, and they all force you to check a box allowing them to email you whatever they want. Then if they even have an "opt out" link, it takes you to a list of 500 different types of notifications and forces you to opt out of each one individually.

Usually I will just disable the iCloud hide-my-email I used for a site, but sometimes there are legitimate emails mixed in with the stream of crap. I opted out of marketing emails from my credit card company, and now they instead send me emails asking me to re-evaluate my email preferences...

It would be nice to see more done to fix this, but I guess it doesn't make anyone money. I guess I'll just have to use AI to filter signal from noise.

As a tip, go to a VPS that's had a history of being very selective of allowing SMTP traffic but still allows after some kind of review. Cheap providers that never did any blocking probably have bad reputations for their entire address range.

Nobody I know would call that street the city. In my mind, "the city" is, minimally, houses that are a few feet apart, small yard in back/front, pretty much nothing on the side. Frequently, it's 2-3 story buildings, with whole floors rented out as an apartment. That's my "least dense" vision of a city. Anything less than that (ie, full yards) falls into my vision of suburb.

Social Media in general (not just Nextdoor) has outed so many angry, belligerent, mentally-unwell, terrible people who, for a really long time, have successfully pretended to be normal and nice.

Suburbia houses are usually right next to each other. Densely populated cities stack housing so you have to go down to get out. I've found that its much easier to meeting people in single family homes than five level flats. In any case, the US even in cities, is not set up for gatherings like it is in Europe where there are large spaces people go to socialize.
I’m from a small town in Spain, about 800 people small, and this is what everyone would do every night during the summer, each group hanging out in different spots with different gangs, lol. It was just a way to chat with your neighbors.

Sadly, this has mostly disappeared, but I think it’s a good example of how the sense of community in Spain differs from that in the U.S. And this feeling isn’t limited to small towns, you can find it in big cities too somehow.

Without knowing for sure, I’m almost certain that people in southern Italy and Greece do the exact same thing.
I can only describe my setup, have never tried an 8k monitor.

I am guessing I have about 40 PPD. I still have a sliver of space on each side where I see part of my support screens (vertical 1080P on each side). It has a 110 degree horizontal FOV.

My main screen is driven by the MacBook Pro's native resolution (3456x2160). Immersed can create 4k virtual screens, but I don't really see an improvement, the Quest's panels are the limiting factor.

Not crisp like retina, but the size makes up for it. In very rare cases I just lean right up to the screens (they are 3 feet from me). As the focal point is somewhere 4-5 feet away, you can have your face right against the screen to see tiny detail.

Also the fast refresh (I have mine set to 120Hz) matters. I tried my work's Vision Pro. Yes, more crisp graphics. But it gave me motion sickness, there is a slight motion blur, the pixels don't seem to refresh fast enough. The Quest is rock solid, never felt unwell using it.

I really don't even notice it is not retina.

Around our office... we have what seems to be a 50/50 split of users on the "old" Outlook and the "new" Outlook.

Many users have tried the "new" Outlook and found it different in unexpected and confusing ways - and being a business app, they just want to get stuff done so they go back to what they know.

I forced myself to stick with the "new" Outlook, and while it still continues to surprise me in confounding ways, it's grown on me a bit. I still find many buttons/options unintuitive to use or find. Finding a way to just see my unread emails took me way longer than I care to admit, and I typically am one to figure out UI's fairly fast.

Having both the "old" and "new" Outlook installed side-by-side is also adding to some of the confusion. It's far too easy to go back to the old version, even by accident. Although, this seems to be inline with other Microsoft endeavors, such as Settings + Control Panel, et al...
