I don't see the EU and NATO agitating Russia. Quite the opposite, but I'm coming from a western standpoint. Can you elaborate?

Yep. And the DOM (Digital Optical Monitoring) in consumer fiber optic modules (eg. SFPs) is sensitive to detect stuff like this! I can tell when and where we have significant wind storms, because it oscillates the fiber lines on the poles i

Excellent! Thank you. Both these processes make more sense than the TDR scheme I was referring to. With the fiber scheme they are using optical TDR.

I know nothing about railways, but is there any sort of Time Domain Reflectometry (TDM) technology that railways use to detect issues with the rails? I suppose with the distances we're talking about and the resistance of steel this isn

For others as lost as I am and want the tl;dr: A library OS is an operating system design where traditional OS services are provided as application-linked libraries, rather than a single, shared kernel serving all the programs.

Oh man, Limelight! LoD and MoD's heydays were more in the 1980s. By the first year or two of the 1990s, both were pretty much defunct, if my memory serves. I was acquainted with several members of both groups, and I don't remember

Yes! Forgot about Mr Robot, which was absolutely fantastic.

For anything other than a toy, I would recommend at least a Max processor and at least 32 GB memory, depending on what you're doing. I do a lot of text, audio, and NLP stuff, so I'm running smaller models and my 36GB is plenty. Ul

I grew up hacking in the 1980s and I watched this movie and I totally hated it. Me and the hackers around me were more like War Games, but with skateboards and BMX bikes. On our best days, I likened us to the characters in the movie Sneaker

Thanks for sharing this. It completely destroyed the little respect I had left for Flock. And that they're sharing their data with other non-local agencies (eg. ICE as it stands) without a warrant? That's outrageous, IMHO.

Gopher was a text-mode, menu-based, hypertext-based precursor to the World Wide Web. It's what we used before the Web and web browsers came along. Here's a good image of your typical Gopher page: https://img.sysnettechs

> obviously not everyone thinks ISPs are evil, and that is what interests me. why do some people think they are and what motivations lead them to that belief? This is all going to sound cynical but I'm just trying to relay facts.

Asking the question "Are ISPs evil" isn't useful. Asking "What motivates ISPs?" is. Caveat: there are a lot of non-ISP entities in that diagram, and they are often more motivated by control and political power than

A lot of it is, in fact, new. The hype around OpenClaw is largely due to the large suite of command line utilities that tie deeply into Apple’s ecosystem as well as a ton of other systems. I think that the hype will be short-lived as big te

My spend was similar. I only spent one day with it. Pretty neat but a security can of worms and I already do similar automations with Apple Shortcuts and APIs and the Apple Foundation models on-device. It's free and does a great job. I

You may be right, but I find myself writing English differently depending on the audience: people vs AI. I haven't done a formal study, so I can't prove it, but it seems like I get better output from agents if I tailor my English

I agree that the phone can draw you in because that is by design. Where we differ is who’s responsible for what happens next. I am solely responsible for where I spend my attention. The tools I use are: adding friction, disabling the hooks

I just use an iPhone without the brainrot apps installed. Notifications shut off, except for the essentials. But I got pretty nostalgic looking at that photo. And I still carry a calculator around.

Yes, I use one all the time. I have a small collection of them, depending on the task. As for why I use them? - They are tactile. - They are forgiving, pushing a button doesn't accidentally swipe to some random app or screen or slide d

Most macOS teams have unit testing. The quality of which varies greatly.

It's a loophole, but it's willful by design on the government's part. The book "Means of Control" by Byron Tau covers this in great depth. It's so much worse than even those of us who are moderately interested

This is your blog post, so I'll ask you a question. What are you trying to state in Belief #1? The message is unclear to me with how it's worded: > In this table, in the "iCloud Backup (including device and Messages ba

OpenClaw already does this. You can run jobs, run WebSockets, accept push notifications, or whatever -- even socket connections.

Lots of good advice in this thread. Some minor points: - What you learned in college was not a waste. - When it comes to software development, everything is controversial to someone . And ever-changing. - You need to spend a good 12-18 m

I use Arch but don't want to fiddle with stuff anymore. Installing via the archinstall command was pretty easy. Not quite as easy as a Fedora or Ubuntu install, but for someone familiar with Linux, it's negligible.

It's legitimate, but its also extremely powerful and people tend to run it in very insecure ways or ways where their computer is wiped. Numerous examples and stories on X. I used it for a bit, but it burned through tokens (even after t
