It is very curious for me that in a lot of comments there is no allowance for even a possibility that there is more than a single metric of “betterness” for different people and different occasions. What these “unnecessary extras” or in the

I think your qualification of this draft is quite mild. I would rather say the author seems to misunderstand the functioning of pretty much every single protocol they mention in their draft, so I won’t be even starting to try to enumerate t

FWIW, for most of my Rust use cases I found I can get away with a relatively simple heuristic: - if you pass it is a parameter, pass a read-only reference. - if you return a value as a result of a function call, clone as necessary and retur

Once upon a time I stumbled upon a very odd video on YouTube talking about “the phase”. It looked all very mysterious and semi-conspiratorial, but at the same time other than attempting to promote their “workshops”, there didn’t seem any ob

Why would one need to get it into the iPhone/iPad ? Just use a power bank. (I wonder if the PD circuitry would be making the interference in its own right, though). https://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Powerbank-Capacity-Cha

Pretty detailed and creative write-up, but my first thought was “how would it have worked with a 20000mAh battery ?” - admittedly a cludge, but could be much simpler..

FWIW, I had similar experiences twice: First with IKEA when they changed the lights on-power-up behavior on upgrade. This resulted in a hub becoming a 25 euro cc2531 stick on raspberry pi + Zigbee2mqtt and HomeBridge for integration with Ho

As a past active SecondLife user back in the day (circa 15 years ago), and a short-stunt OpenSimulator dev, I had been thinking a lot about how much better SecondLife could be if it had the modern tech absorbed - thanks for doing this! :-)

I started with a similar path a few years ago - IKEA smart home gear. The controller went away fairly quickly. I stayed for a long time on raspberry pi + Zigbee stick from DeConz + Apple home integration using homebridge.io. Deconz felt a b

I tried the example about the table not fitting into the car using GPT4. Not only it answered it correctly, but it actively (but politely) argued with me when I tried to imply a different target for “it”: https://mobile.twitter.c

I noticed that ChatGPT is absolutely terrible at many “factual” questions, where the answer is a date or person or list of such. On the other hand it seems better at more abstract questions, as well as giving interesting background around s

By now I am collecting the examples of ChatGPT and now bing getting obvious things spectacularly wrong, and sharing them with the less techy friends, as a warning. That said, I treat the GPT answers the same way I would treat a “question du

Your reply doesn’t have the facts I have asked for. So let me share what I know on why the encryption everywhere skyrocketed, and hopefully it is useful for anyone. It’s long and has some detours, to convey my point (which is outside the

Maybe because it was a mostly theoretical problem for most of them. Could you supply some references about the issue which would document the ISPs tracking the users and selling their data ? I remember of only one case of some operator in t

I used a household example. Try running pi-hole in your network if you don’t already. The amount of tracking and spying just about anywhere is astoundingly depressing. Transport encryption just shrinks the number of people at the party of e

This kind of data structure often has a buffer + associated metadata. If the metadata+pointer fits into 1-2 cache lines, storing it in a vector can give be win vs. storing the next/prev pointers next to data + metadata. In any case, th
