CEQA itself is a mixed bag. I want to be clear that there are very important things the CEQA does to improve our environmental conditions[0]! The very real issue of CEQA being “wea…

After reading over the EPA letter[0], I can't help but wonder whether the final paragraph gives a "bad faith out" to John Deere and their ilk. You could disingenuously interpret th…

Been playing around with Clickhouse a lot recently and have had a great experience particularly because it hits many of these same points. In my case the "local files" hasn't been …

Curious if anyone has done anything meaningful with SAM2 and streaming. SAM3 has built-in streaming support which is very exciting. I’ve seen versions where people use an in-memory…

Have long been interested in something like this. From where to where? How did you arrange the trip?

This is correct, and the lack of a MagicDNS solution is definitely felt when using Nebula (esp. when switching from Tailscale)

Nebula[0] addresses this and is IMO an improvement over WireGuard. Came out of Slack originally, and it supports peer discovery, NAT hole punching, and some other cool features. Al…

It’s been some years but I recall that at one point probably around 2016-2017, California produced 80% of the world’s almonds. This was notable because at the same time, California…

Honestly, I was so confident in what I thought I knew (namely evil giant Alaskan mosquitoes) that I didn’t bother to read the article I linked, I just added it for others’ context.…

Nothing killed my dream of a private island in Alaska quite so fast as elephant mosquitoes[0] [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxorhynchites_rutilus

This seemed too much like a bit but uh... it's not. https://simonwillison.net/2025/Feb/25/leaked-windsurf-prompt...

I think moving OTA updates for embedded devices to project-specific key management rather than relying on web roots of trust should become the norm. Since your firmware images shou…

Thought pointedly not a podcast, the YouTube channel Historia Civilis was my go to thing to fall asleep to for a while. The simple animation style and depth I found very soothing.

The Orin NX is 16GB. My guess would be they still want some differentiation

First: I appreciate the overall tone of your comment. It's a polarizing subject, and I feel this is very much in good faith. I think there's two important points you made that I'd …

Is there a robust library for good quality cables somewhere? I remember a few blog posts that did larger tear downs, but I’d love to just be able to go to a site that has validated…

Or they live in fancy houses because they're doing a great job at ensuring their union members get better wages and working conditions? Harold Daggett has been the main labor leade…

Not that anyone is disagreeing, but it bears repeating: This is a lack of any real pressure from regulators, not a technical challenge. Or rather, there may be technical challenges…

From the picture it looked to me like it was more aligned with the DAC, although I double checked and I don't think that any DACs of that size would be in the order of 20-30 grams.…

Is the recorded session available anywhere? Generally prefer the slides with the presenter walking us through them.

Goofing a bit, but couldn't you damn the Madeira river and then use the flow control to speed up/slow down the rotation of the earth[0]? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Gor…

Stories like these are my catnip. The 500 mile email is another great one. How did you end up debugging/reproducing? I conjured a picture in my head of an engineer comically exaspe…

Would you be willing to share your must-sees? I’m planning two trips to Italy this year and while I tend to make my own closer to the date of the trip (avoid pre-mature heartbreak …

This irked me recently. I think it’s very reasonable for networkd to delegate everything after the interface meets an “online criteria” to later services. However I was disappointe…

Don’t let the semantic HTML people hear you
