FIB is awesome but there’s nothing easy about it, and the success rates are not super great.

Last I looked (perhaps some have changed?) - plex has some fancy remote access thing so it can figure out your home network IP without DNS. You need to use VPN/Tailscale or self ho…

My sad guess: radio will make less and less money, until the point owners view the spectrum as more valuable than the revenue left to extract from it, and ATT or the like will buy …

If I, a human, exploited a zero-day for gain, I could go to jail. The owners of the models should be held to the same standard. They should be responsible for what their servers an…

Google is pushing it in embedded (OpenTitan/Ibex).

It’s nice to have a story that makes me laugh and smile about politics. It’s been a long, long time.

This is true, but if you use a file system that does scrubs (and you should use such a file system for a NAS), and if you keep the NAS on 24*7, this won’t be an issue.

Not sure how this works for y’all. On my team, they would get blocked to merge on code review until they met quality bar, and if this happened enough they would be having a perform…

I’m always struck by a bit of wonder at comments like this. It seems everyone’s experience is all over the place. Curious, what types of things are you working on where you see the…

I like Amazon's service. Parking at Costco on a Saturday is absurd to the point there's memes about it. I really hate standing in lines. Delivery to my door is awesome and I'm will…

Second all these points! No multitouch is such a bad experience on maps!

I feel like it was the dot com boom. :s/"Make everything online"/"Make everything use AI"/g In a similar story, AI makes sense for some stuff but not other stuff. The stuff where i…

Wait a few months and you'll probably be okay. The first trend of AI was "use as much as you can! You must use AI!!!". Hence the rise of tokenmaxxing leaderboards and KPIs on token…

LEO satellites are the size of a car and are spaced apart by the size of a state. They also all are in slowly decaying orbits and will fall out of the sky on their own accord in 10…

That sucks. If GLP-1s work for you, more power to you. Curious: how big of a calorie deficit did you run, and what was your macro (protein/fat/carbs) balance. My personal experienc…

Most embedded code is security / safety critical, so it gets looked at by auditors. So, then. Also, when something invariably doesn’t work (maybe I told Claude “delay 1 sec after e…

I’ve had multiple people say “you don’t work on code anymore, that’s for the AI. You work a level of abstraction above that. As long as you prove it works through testing, the code…

I’ve had this experience as well. I love Codex for doing code reviews, it takes a way more direct, less passive tone when calling out issues.

To be fair, before AI I had my fair share of coworkers throwing stuff over the fence who only cared about closing tickets and collecting credit. You all know the feeling: you see a…

HPV spreads even when condoms are used - any skin to skin contact can spread it. So yeah, not everyone, but it’s exceptionally prevalent. Luckily most strains are relatively harmle…

I don't know. Even the frontier models do dumb things sometimes. Being able to iterate (and iterate quickly) is really important. If you get 1 try a day, you're probably back to it…

to play devil's advocate, having a credit card does not tell Anthropic anything about your country of citizenship, which the US is pushing them to gate keep access on.

This argument has been beaten to death in the courts for hundreds of years at this point. Why does everyone think that they are some kind of arm chair lawyer who magically knows th…

Checks and balances man. If a legislature makes an illegal law it should be struck down by the courts or vetoed. The system is working as designed. Judges being able to throw peopl…

Agreed, however Wipr seems about as good in practice.
