what impressed me is the 3gigabit up/down fiber connection. That seems unattainable in San Francisco.

re: Apple not using Final Cut Pro (FCP). I feel like Apple made an intentional decision to abandon the high end production market when they released FCP 10 in 2011. They dropped multicam, XML import/export, etc. I heard they eventua

Is there an incentive for fraud during dam construction re-settlement? Like if a family home is being displaced, it might benefit the family to list all possible relatives on the re-settlement even including ones that don’t actually live th

I guess I'm skeptical how much of an impact better software could have on the business success a truck outfitting company? But maybe I'm being overly skeptical. I bet if I really got in the weeds there I'd see tons of opportu

This definitely feels true for tech companies where the prospect of more more productive engineers improves their bottom line. The same sort of companies that have a near infinite appetite for talented engineers. But there's a lot of c

Speeding up your work does lead to job loss. If some developers can suddenly be 3x as productive than a company doesn't need as many engineers.

It's had the opposite effect for me. He made me switch showdead back to true so I can be blissfully ignorant.

There’s certain identify verifications checks online that require you give the real answer. Things like pulling your own credit report. They already know places you’ve lived in or models of vehicles you’ve insured and ask you this to confir

I believe 3DES is just being used for obfuscation? If they used the latest cipher and gave each user per-session keys then a reverse engineer could still access the data since the app itself must have the key to read the data. re: big red,

Thanks for writing this article! I quite enjoyed it. question: does the DeepSeek's app use of hardcoded encryption keys rise beyond just their attempt to obfuscate and protect their app's private API endpoints? I believe this an a

Some missing context is that the data is shared via the DeepSeek app's use of ByteDance analytics/configuration frameworks. So not a backroom deal where DeekSeek handed over the chat history for its user base, but rather ongoing a

Aren’t we just continually moving up layers of abstractions? Most of the increasingly small group doesn’t concern itself with voltages, manually setting jumpers, hand-rolling assembly for performance-critical code, cache line alignment, raw

Do any mainstream streaming services offer you greater than 1080p on desktop Linux? I had thought that none of them allow it due to the perception of weaker DRM. And because 90% of consumers watching on desktop really care/notice

This is moot for El Salvador. They’ve been dollarized since 2001 and USD is effectively the only legal tender.

Agreed. `tee` without any flags is essentially a no-op and doesn’t have much use, whereas teemoji does. This feels more like `nl` in the sense that it outputs its STDIN with something prepended. But with the additional support for splittin

The CLETS database LACSD used includes non-conviction records, investigative records, gang affiliations, and other data that aren’t part of the proper background check process. For example, if you were arrested but never charged, or if you’

The vulnerable services were presumably fixed by the time this was published. I don't see anything wrong with releasing the details now.

You definitely still need data centers to train the models that you’ll run locally. Also if we achieve AGI you can bet it won’t be available to run locally at first.

great intro guide! I'd say another big tip is getting proper ffmpeg completion into your shell. That's helpful for seeing a list of all possible encoders, pixel formats, etc. I also found that playing around with filters in mpv w

My guess is because it’s the Smithsonian, they’re just not willing to trust an LLM’s transcription enough to put their name on it. I imagine they’re rather conservative. And maybe some AI-skeptic protectionist sentiments from the profession
