I'm just curious, why would you want to run unsigned code on a Juniper device? What is the use case?

When I was there Google used multiple Sun/StorageTek tape libraries at each datacenter. The robots handled much of it, but there was still a lot of manual tape loading and unloading performed by technicians. Once tapes were full they w

If anyone needs a Bluesky invite, there are three in the About section of my profile page here (note: you will need to prepend "bsky-social-" to the code).

I asked the Bluesky devs about this back in May (of 2023). Me: "if the network is intended to be public, why are user profiles and posts currently hidden behind a login wall?" Paul Frazee: "it was a kind of bad artifact of ho

I mean, you're not wrong, but you're also missing the point. We don't need "perfect recall" in this case. It's not difficult to get any of the ChatGPT models to divulge their knowledge cutoff date. It's al

No he means from the Console app on macOS. It's not the same as the Terminal app, which it sounds like you're referencing. It's a log viewer that's installed by default but tucked away in Applications/Utilities. It&

You realize the Sunshade is science fiction, right? Picking two examples from the Wikipedia article you linked, the Fresnel lens is a proposed object that would float in space between the Earth and Sun, approximately 1000 km wide and only a

Yup. There was information about the NSA's Echelon program floating around for decades before Snowden. Check out the Public Disclosures section of this Wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON Desp

Eventually, maybe. In the keynote, there was a vague outline of a virtual keyboard, but (unless I missed it) we never saw that virtual keyboard in use. Instead, the demo pivoted to using a paired Magic Keyboard.

Would someone please explain like I'm five which components of LLM's like ChatGPT are still closed source? What are the specific technologies that OpenAI is holding on to? I know a lot of LLM stuff has either been released or leak

I don't think Amazon offers what Azure does (yet) in terms of HPC or multi-GPU capacity. The blog post doesn't say how long the agreement is for, but the relationship probably makes sense at the moment. All the cloud providers are

I've had access since 2023-05-13. You have to use the Insiders build of VS Code, and a nightly version of the Copilot extension.

That doesn't work either, it just redirects back to the 429'd page on chaos.social. It's because the admins of the site put this up temporarily to deal with HN load.

Oof. This will not be the last time that decision causes a problem.

It helps. I try to use an authenticator app whenever possible, but use a Google Voice number if a service requires SMS-based auth. The trick is to not forward the texts to another cell number. You can either view them using the Voice web in

There are quite a few advertising and tracking domains you can safely block without any negative impacts to Apple devices. Parsing my logs at NextDNS (nextdns.io), the domains below are the most commonly blocked. It looks like most of the p

Unfortunately that's a small subset of users. MKBHD calculated it to be about $20 mil in revenue for paid users, compared to $2.6 bil from ads. His analysis is around the 8m30s mark: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1qs

I am blown away and inspired by the straw bale house build. Well done! It must be very rewarding to see the end result.

Basically. It doesn't work with https. It also doesn't like mixed-content protection. So it doesn't work in modern browsers unless you jump through some hoops. https://github.com/apenwarr/blip/issues

You keep saying this but not providing any evidence. I just read the entire issue thread on Github, and yes, you have to use the bridge. (If I missed a comment, please link directly to it.)

This is true. I started fresh with an iPhone 14, no restore from backup, no sign-in to iCloud, and slide-to-type was enabled.

You could easily host 50 active users on a single VPS for a 10th of that cost. masto.host has a plan that covers 100 active users for $19/mo.

The pricing on masto.host should give you some idea of the requirements and cost: https://masto.host/pricing/ I think they're the largest managed hosting provider in this space. Obviously they are charging a premi

Sorry, but you gotta tip in those scenarios. You have correctly identified the problem, and you know it isn't the workers' fault. Still, they aren't getting paid enough. It shouldn't be our job to spread money around eve
