Australia banned telemarketing a while ago, it worked pretty well. The only spam phone calls left are 100% illegal scammers. https://www.acma.gov.au/telemarketing-and-e-marketing t…

This looks like it's doing that? https://github.com/esp-rs/esp-hal/tree/main/examples/async/e...

Aha, thanks. The adsb.exposed maps are excellent, thank you! Really intrigued by the building maps.

A few times I've had an irregular 2D dataset to process and thought "aha, maybe I can be lazy and iterate ordered by a space filling curve coordinates and it'll be more cache effec…

There are a lot of urls for the bots to follow. Yesterday's logs had 2.2M unique URLs out of 2.7M requests (more unique than I was expecting!) Typical traffic: https://hg.ucc.asn.a…

It's mainly that dealing with them is a hassle, time that could be better spent doing other more useful things. Over the weekend I got round to turning off some old viewvc (CVS and…

openai etc are going to have a higher utilisation of the hardware so can afford it more than small companies/people. Efficient resource use matters more when they're expensive.

Interesting idea, but wouldn't an embedded language normally be interpreted/runtime editable? I guess you could do it shipping a rust compiler, but it'd be big. A bit like Numba?

getaddrinfo was added after ipv6. Software had to be rewritten to use getaddrinfo. Prior to that programs used gethostbyname() etc, which only works with ipv4.

Old Nanostations as a client need to do proxy arp or something, which doesn't handle ipv6. That said it's probably 15 year old hardware. I ended up using a wireguard tunnel across …

Maybe the LLMs need some kind of "coverage" metric so they prioritise new paths? The author would know a thing or two about that.

I think that's incorrect. Brains/eyes are good at looking for patterns.

If you have less than hundreds of thousands of points, you can probably get away with drawing individual dots on the map. Computer screens are high res.

There are excellent examples of the problem in Edward Tufte's "Envisioning Information". Have a look at http://blah.ksteinfe.com/181106/tufte_envisioning_informatio... for a few sn…

I'm wondering who's going to buy pi! (Edit sorry forgetting names, I mean who's going to buy Earendil). Good luck to Armin, he's done some good stuff.

It looks like github is just buggy in this case.

From what distance? I would have thought $1M wouldn't go far

Wait until they hear how much source code is thrown away to make software! I guess that's a bit ephemeral, but still probably similar in a lot of industries. Clothes are weird shap…

Solvinity is a pretty terrible company name.
