   You can do: 2>/dev/stdout Which is about the same as `2>&1` but with a friendlier name for STDOUT. And this way `2> /dev/stdout`, with the space, also works, whereas `2> &1` doesn't whic

   The other key takeaway from the video is that carmakers are highly incentivized to sell SUVs because they're still classified as "non-passenger work vehicles", which have looser emission requirements making them cheaper to

   The big companies with reputations to protect will keep the guardrails in place. I don't think there's a huge market pressure to remove the guardrails since for the majority of uses the guardrails are fine. Pentagon excluded. And

   According to Persona's damage control article[0], the subdomain had "onyx" in its name because that's the internal code name for the project, and it's named after the pokémon Onyx. No connection to Fivecast ONYX. [

   If targeting children with advertising got corporate execs thrown in jail, wouldn't the companies just roll out age verification for users like they do now? How would this rule change their behavior? They have to know who the children

   Another aspect of FB's decline: it's increasingly buggy. Too many issues to list, but curious if others have noticed this as well? Last week I got stuck trying to login via mobile web, kept approving the login via the mobile app b

    I use iSH too and love that I have all my standard CLI tools available, or can just install ones I want. But using the ssh client in iSH to interact with TUI interfaces is a less than optimal experience. Many nice UI affordances that someth

    Is the poster, "ClipZone: Beyond Infinity" associated with Warner Brothers? It's not obvious to me it is, but it does seem to only post Warner Brothers content. Seems like it is an official WB channel that's been incogni

    Yea pretty confused by this statement. Though also I'm pretty sure if you construct the right fake scenario[0] you can get the regular Claude/ChatGPT interfaces to write something like this. [0] (fiction writing, fighting for a mo

    Thank you for actually extracting the historical mission statement changes! Also I love that you/Claude were able to back-date the gist to just use the change logs to represent time. re: the article, it's worth noting OAI's 2

    I don't think that's true for HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV). Advanced Protection turns on E2EE for various iCloud services like iCloud backups and Apple photos. But HKSV is already E2EE'd and the decryption keys aren't par

    How do the agents perform the transcription? I'm guessing just calling out to other tools like Whisper? Do all models/agents take the same approach or do they differ? also as a parent, I love the bluey bench concept !

    Won't Anthropic just be able to get the IPs of your proxy by entering a known API key and observing what IPs use it? Could try to evade by tapping into a large proxy network though.

    If you can get it on IPv6, maybe via a gateway, port 23 filtering doesn't seem to be applied to IPv6 yet! (I assume because the v6 address space is too large to mass scan?)

    Since Tier 1 transit providers have now blocked telnet (port 23), this means the death of watching ASCII Star Wars with `telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl` However, if you still long for nostalgia, I was able to access it over IPv6 using a VPN

    Apple has a very low tolerance for reputional liabilities. They aren't going to roll out something that %0.01 of the time does something bad, because with 100M devices that's something that'll affect 10,000 people, and have

    Damn... my only guess: time machine backups are VERY write heavy. Is it a reputable brand of SSD? Is time machine frequently erasing old backups? Many external portable SSDs that work fine for regular consumer uses, might struggle to handle

    pros and cons to this approach, like the CVE introduced in sudo 9.1.14 (June 2023) fixed in 1.9.17p1 (June 2025). https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-32463 But also sudo has A LOT of features that 95% of people don&#

    you're probably backing up things that change very often you don't care about? Figure out what's taking up space in each backup and use `tmutil excludepath -p <dir>`.

    Seems like it wasn't actually spoofed radio signals, but spoofed data collection uploaded to adsbexchange. Still seems unlikely to make the FAA happy, but not as bad. I assume air traffic controllers aren't relying on adsbexchange

    If increasing friction to do something results in zero change in how many people do the thing, then why does anyone care that AirTags don't work for anti-theft purposes? Wouldn't there be no complaints if there were alternatives t

    Increasing the friction and difficulty to stalk someone definitely results in less actual stalking. I'm sure some would-be stalker can figure out AirTags but can't figure out or afford the alternatives. Also, wouldn't this ar

    That seems a little extreme. Another device won't have the advantage of Apple's "Find My Network". Competitors like Tile have a much smaller network. Or devices that rely on cellular are much larger and don't have a

    That's a personal preference. I have like 12 AirTags and find them quite useful. The precise indoor tracking functionality is great. Losing/misplacing something happens a lot more to me than theft. Though I do have an airtag I&#x2

    I love this feature. There's this app, "Remote Buddy", that's lets you specify custom behavior for the various Apple Remote buttons. Since by default only a few of the buttons control anything.
