If true, that's naked, shameless and brutal capitalism.

Seems much like those secretly tobacco industry funded reports about tobacco being safe and such.


Rod Canion.

Practical, but radical enough to take on IBM when their PC looked unassailable. Being first to the table with a 386 and working with others to make sure micro channel was DOA set the standards for the industry for decades.

Edit: 2nd was Gary Kildall


Isn't that Microsoft Copilot? Github Copilot is a different thing.

Not to downplay, but is it wrong to assume you're self sufficient in daily life? Work a job and pay your bills?

You list your site and have a seemingly lots of professional experience.

Some of these conditions do make life harder, but there's a big difference between high functioning Autism and disabilities that make someone 100% dependent on others.


Something about a scheduling/productivity app (one of the most common vibe-coded projects people make) being the subject of this is funny to me. I wonder how many tokens have been wasted making apps like this, let alone time.

It also works fine with Ruby and the "caxlsx" gem. Codex works fine with it as also.

I was given a 44 hour rate limit and haven't had a response to my support ticket yet. I've been little to no progress done on some of my hobby projects.

But that is not what is happening, and they have stated that they were at the event for a short period of time, quite possibly at the portion that didn’t occur inside the event.

The willingness to assume one version of events, and then go down that path to award consequences, is premature.


One of the craziest aspects of IPv6 implementation is the reverse DNS lookups.

IPv6 uses ip6.arpa and segments each little nybble into a subdomain!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_DNS_lookup#IPv6_revers...

This means there are always 32 octets to a reverse-IPv6 address, and there are no shortcuts or macros to overcome this! That means if you wish to assign a singular name that maps from a legitimate /64 Network ID, you must populate 64 bits worth of octets in a zone with this data. It is an absurd non-solution. This never should've been allowed to happen, but it will basically mean that ISPs abandon reverse DNS entirely when they migrate to IPv6 implementations.


“All” might be a stretch but the idea that they just do what they want regardless of what the courts say is just incorrect propaganda. And continuing to find creative ways to defy court orders is something every administration does. And my opinion of the administration is low also, I just don’t like the propaganda and have never understood why we need to make up things about them when there’s so much to dislike that isn’t fictional.

Per Blaise Pascal, no they cannot: “All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”

We need to keep growing, building, making, taking. Some people seem to really love the bustle and creative destruction. I'm in my 40s, and I've always hated it. When I was a child, I wondered if when I grew up, I would fit naturally into the world the way that so many others seemed to. The answer was no. I don't know why people need to be the way they are. I don't feel comfortable in so many normal situations. The things that bother the animals bother me too, but for most people this is unthinkable in the same way that other modes of thought are unthinkable. (eg, when someone who thinks mostly in words learns that some people think only in pictures)


If you put codex in Xhigh and allow it access to tools, it will take an hour but it will eventually give you back quality recompiled code, with the same issues the original had (here quality means readable)

All those things work great if you don't need money, to exchange for goods and services

Wouldn't that make the web even less open and even more monopolistic?

I would love to believe that a regulator got served a crooked McDonald's burger, looked at the pristine menu photos, and said 'nope.'

I'm half joking but this feels plausible.


There's been exercises where you simulate active shooters with some or none of the people armed. As I remember it the situation with some of the targets were armed ended up with higher casualty numbers in quite a few simulations. The solution to a bad guy with a gun might be a good guy with a gun, but it also might be easier paths to run away and lowering the probability of a bad guy getting access to a gun.

Looking at the non-US stats, it's pretty clear the latter is at least a lot more credible.


Spherical harmonics are basically a fourier series. They're a complete orthonormal set of basis functions for functions for the unit sphere. Whereas the fourier series from calc 101 is a complete orthonormal set of basis functions on the unit interval (eg [0,1]).

In other words you can express any reasonable function on the unit sphere as a series of spherical harmonic terms. That makes them ideal for working with differential equations (eg schrodinger's equation for the hydrogen atom, or, emission from an arbitrary light source).


And who knows how much of that "unavoidable future" "adapt or die" rhetoric is driven by motivated actors using LLM tools to shape the conversation?

And you could say the same is true if you lost an AES key. But if they can establish a chain of evidence that shows (to whatever degree the court you're in requires) that it does contain the work, you've lost.

How many ways could they do this? Could they note in court that they found you getting your copy from a "super secure no liability legal loophole" piracy service? Could they just get B's side, whether through subpoena or whatever mechanism you have to communicate with B? (You must, since your file is "just noise" and useless to you as it is)


xor'ing the elements of lists together also allows a test of "unordered equality" because 1^2^3^4^5 == (xor of any permutation of [1,2,3,4,5]).

Yes there are false positives, and the false negative of all-zero/all-equal, but the test can be useful in a "bloom filter" type case.

Have used it in dynamic firewalling rules ... one can do something pretty close to a JA3/JA4 TLS fingerprint in eBPF with that (to match the cipher lists).


I adopted openclaw day 1 of the rename. I heavily configured and used it for awhile. If you're using old 'agentic' harnesses, you're being left behind.

That said, I stopped using Openclaw for Hermes. Openclaw released a massive patch that broke openclaw to an unrepairable state. I tried Hermes and havent even considered going back.

Dont use openclaw, use hermes.


> can they make you show them your feet?

I know of at least one American president who avoided drafting because of his feet situation.


China hates India. China hates Japan even more. China sometimes hates South Korea. The US hates Mexico (and flip flops when presidents do) America imposed a dictatorship on Chile. The US has threatened Brazil recently. The US has also threatened military action against Colombia this year.

Places like Singapore, Nigeria, and Kenya are just irrelevant on the global stage. Singapore is great for money laundering and nobody sees them as a threat to their own sovereignty due to being a tiny little island that's completely dependent on its neighbors for food and water. When you're a big country with a big economy, you get enemies merely by existing.


We don't have compassion for fellow human beings. I don't think we will ever have compassion for animals who are sensitive to noise.

Example: Diwali is a horrible time to be a stray animal in India. Heck, even my pets hate the festival. But humans will always be self obsessed and say it's for celebration. Sure.


If there was no service fee how would Ticketmaster generate any revenue?

In case the author is reading this, if you're going to introduce the complex-valued harmonics you should be careful to put the complex conjugate in the inner product

    <f, g> = ∫ f(ω)^* g(ω) dω
which does match the corresponding linear-algebra inner product if the vectors are over the complex numbers

    p . q = Σ_i p^*_i q_i
which guarantees that p.p ≥ 0 even for complex p (and does not change the only-real case).

wait, devin? last time I heard that name it was the joke AI engineer that couldn't achieve shit people laughed about?

Multi-year exclusive contracts paid for with cash advances.

I am aware of at least 2 telecoms, one publicly traded, that have very little to no IPv6 in their core networks and only use IPv6 when they have to.

Personally I think the design of IPv6 offers very little benefit; supposedly the Dept of Defense/Dept of War holds some 175 million IPv4 addresses, with other companies also holding large allocations - that should have been addressed 25-30 years ago as an administrative matter.


The requirement is to support IPv6 only networks with IPv4 transition mechanisms. It does not preclude contacting v4-only servers.
