We have (had?) some ticks in our backyard and I came across these which I thought was a clever attack angle: tick tubes. Permethrin-soaked cotton balls in a tube, mice find them an…

(For the unaware, OP above is the article author.) As a long time user of Bitbake and Yocto, and watcher of Yoe Linux... I kind of have to respectfully disagree with the approach. …

Seems like a LOT of AI generation. I wonder where this wiki format would be useful vs asking an AI directly.

Almost all retail RFID tags are on hanging labels, like with the price, or a sticker on the item. Although I did find one inside a pillow once. A huge number of items at Walmart, K…

Because it's a binary format?

Maybe this comparison with S2 will explain: https://h3geo.org/docs/comparisons/s2/

The GSD tool (get-shit-done) automates a very similar process to this, and has been mind-blowing for larger projects and refactors. https://github.com/glittercowboy/get-shit-done Y…

Just tell him that Waymo is now sharing videos of this behavior with auto insurance companies. I don't know if they are or not. But why wouldn't they...

Hi, curious, did you know about OpenRouter before building this? > OpenRouter provides a unified API that gives you access to hundreds of AI models through a single endpoint, while…

That would be a fun project. Capture some WiFi geolocation data and rebroadcast it later with an ESP32 that switches its BSSID/SSID/frequency/transmit power to match an existing fi…

I mean, if the scenic route is longer anyways, the revenue potential is there to fund it... just a 'take me the scenic route' checkbox?

But not every email provider would support this new (from scratch) protocol either? Just don't see the need to reinvent OAuth but with a reduced scope for just email validation. Ju…

This section https://github.com/WICG/email-verification-protocol/blob/mai... could easily be done by malicious JS, an ad script, or the website itself, and then as the RP gets the …

Why is the solution not OAuth/OIDC? Or maybe creating some sort of reduced OAuth "Anonymous-Site-Verifying-Your-Email-Exists" flow?

Lol. I got perma-banned for violating rules under my alt accounts. But I don't have any alt accounts...??? Appeal process is a joke. I just opted to delete my 12 year old account i…

Yeah, I see the comments down below in pager.c which explain it a bit better. I guess I thought its behavior was more like PERSIST by default. ** journalMode==DELETE ** The journal…

OK, interesting, I think I see... So you are asking about if SQLite opens and finds a not-committed rollback journal that looks valid, then it rolls it back? I was more curious so …

> If the directory containing the rollback journal is not fsynced after the journal file is deleted, then the journal file might rematerialize after a power failure, causing sqlite…

Seems like this is close to the Uncanny Valley effect. LLM intelligence is in the spot where it is simultaneously genius-level but also just misses the mark a tiny bit, which reall…

Today is definitely sunny and windy. With power prices negative, I guess those big Bitcoin mines out in West TX are quite profitable burning off our excess power...
