It's self-centered to want others to communicate well to you when they aren't attempting to communicate with you in the first place.
You want to learn about the thing? You have the entire internet at your fingertips. Click search bar, type "pub rates," boom, thousands of news stories.
If you want to know what's going on, put in the bare minimum effort to find out. If you don't care then ignore it and move on.
The central breakthrough of this implementation is the move from static, database-driven visualizations to living, AI-controlled interfaces using A2UI Protocol. Instead of simply querying a pre-indexed graph, an AI agent dynamically constructs the visualization in real-time using A2UI protocol based on the specific context of the investigation.

Nah, it's a spectrum. Companies like NXP and Infineon are at one end. NXP wants a ton of personal information to access even the most basic docs on some of its chips, sometimes even an NDA. Infineon won't even acknowledge you for the most part.
Companies like STM, RP, and TI are at the other end. STM got super popular because they're cheap and the documentation is incredibly easy to get at. I think RP is following suit.
Renesas puts out some documentation, but it's really rough. Anything that has even a whiff of crypto is completely undocumented. They're also squatting on a few Rust crates where Espressif actually hired a Rust developer to work on their Rust HAL. The most comical thing is that while they version their reference manual they don't seem to update it and instead issue a ton of broad errata that apply to multiple manuals.
Before the acquisition Atmel's documentation was well written and organized.
Stretch jeans suck in general. Rather quickly the elastane will give up and the fabric rips. Thankfully, non stretch wide/straight jeans are back in trend.
The current CEO's of Alphabet, MSFT, Nvidia, Uber, IBM, Adobe, AMD and many more are themselves immigrants.
There was an article from last year about Meta's AI lab, claiming all top researchers were foreigners. If you look into the research teams in any of the big tech companies you will see they are riddled with people born elsewhere.
Its not just about standard H1B's working in normal SWE roles. Immigrants hold key roles at key companies in SV and have a disproportionate influence on tech's direction.
I agree with the bit about the having to enter a full postcode on some sites, I often use one nearby or, if they make me select a specific address for no valid reason I make sure I use a random address nearby. Apologies to some of my neighbours who might be bombarded with junk mail for services I’ve once been half interested in.
A full postcode is often much less than a single street.
Picking something at random stick “SW15 6DZ” into Google maps and you’ll see it only covers 6 buildings (most are individual houses but some are split into flats). According to the Royal Mail address finder site there are only 12 unique delivery addresses that share that postcode. The Western half of that road has 12 or so full postcodes for only 100 houses.
A full postcode and one other bit of information can often be enough to uniquely identify someone.
If a US 5 digit zipcode is roughly equivalent to the “general area” part of a UK postcode (94107 <=> SW15) then the full UK postcode is like the 9 digit US Zip+4 format where the extra 4 digits narrow location down to a block, part of a block or even a specific building.
Seems a bit subtle when Trump could just send invading troops and see how it pans out (assuming that the military remains loyal to him). That could then lead to NATO kicking out USA, so what would threatening to do it achieve?
Yes, the broader context of that email chain is a broad unloading of a 'greatest hits' of a decade of grievances against SparkFun (the meme site in question was made in 2017, by an employee who no longer works there).
I quoted the lines that seemed to most obviously tip that particular email exchange beyond a measured harassment report (as originally implied), crossing the line into what could be reasonably considered 'unappropriately aggressive behavior' (to quote the SparkFun CoC).
Then saying the scam is calling the technology AI because it isn’t “intelligent”?
You say only a matter of time until the definition is “clarified” — do elaborate on this. What’s your definition here that is so obvious that going against it is a scam?
Bubbles are bad, so nobody take risks anyone! To say this is a naive take is an understatement, what would you do if you were dictator, right now? What would you change?
Let me inform you (and anyone else for that matter) that one observer has observed 2 samples of writing today, yours and his, and has formed 2 impressions of the writers, and that yours is not the more favorable. Do with this information what you will.
One of the problems is the idea that "motivated" or even "capable" is some sort of intrinsic property of a person. Those things ebb and flow based on tons of variables, from stuff going on at home to decisions made by management.
> it seems dumb to let one user use 23x what everyone else is paying for/using
Bandwidth is use-it-or-lose-it. If nobody else was using it, then it doesn't hurt anything. And during high demand traffic shaping hopefully gives their traffic even lower priority.
Well, depending on the state, you can come into illegally America and work for below-minimum wage under the table, have several children (legal citizens through birthright citizenship) and then attain benefits on behalf of those children who, on paper, live in a household with little or no income.
None of this is made up. I grew up with several friends that had this arrangement and later in life attained citizenship, usually through military service, and told me the reality of their upbringing. It’s a complex environment.
Yeah, “the science” has “found no evidence” for lots of things. And proven a lot of falsehoods. People are still walking around bullshitting bogus “The Science”. The reality is that the snail darter wasn’t some unique experience. The standard is to create papers that reflect the interests of the scientists, and to lie if required.
I've always been curious if it matters as much as people claim, or if the funding will just go to someone else with a similar result. We'll get to see if this becomes the new normal.
I was going to comment exactly the same thing, thanks for expressing it so well and here's my upvote. I do think it would be nice to get paid anything at all, but that wouldn't change at all how I do things/release code. In fact, unless it'd be really no-strings-attached, I'd prefer to keep the current arrangement than being paid a pittance per month and then have extra obligations.
I'd disagree that that is usable today. A few days ago I had some network trouble that restricted me to about 350kbps, although stable without much packet loss, and a lot of stuff just didn't practically work. At that speed, loading images and resources on webpages within timeout limits is hard. Many web apps don't work, or degrade enough that you wouldn't want to use them.
Also what do we actually use the web for? A lot of streaming video and audio that won't work. A lot of reading webpages with a lot of images and ads, that won't work. I'm sure that Wikipedia would load and work slowly, but that's not really representative of web usage today.
There's a separate argument about whether the web should be like that, but regardless of your thoughts on that, it is like that.
error: could not compile `fastrender` (lib) due to 34 previous errors; 94 warnings emitted
I guess probably at some point, something compiled, but cba to try to find that commit. I guess they should've left it in a better state before doing that blog post.
I ran my power bill for a small single family home through chatGPT and it was interesting. Cold winters/hot summers, electric stove, air conditioning during summers, and nothing else out of the ordinary that uses power.
- Base electricity: 17 kWh/day (10 in months without AC)
- Heating (currently gas): 33 kWh/day
- Heating (if I switched to heat pump with COP 3): 10 kWh/day
- EV charging at 10k miles/yr: 9 kWh/day
Total if I was fully electrified: 36 kWh/day, or 13 MWh/yr
Since you mentioned encrypted document workflows, you likely suspected that we can't rely on the server to manage state transitions. You are correct: we rely entirely on client-side validation of "Replaceable Events" (Nostr NIP-01/NIP-33).
Here is the pattern OpenSlots uses to handle availability changes:
The Mechanism: Parameterized Replaceable Events
The original text mentioned "publishing encrypted, replaceable events." In the Nostr protocol, this refers to specific event kinds where relays are instructed to only store the newest version of an event from a specific pubkey with a specific identifier (the d tag).
1. Immutable Identity, Mutable State: The "Room" or "Schedule" is identified by a deterministic ID (derived from the random seed in the URL). This is the d tag.
2. The Update Loop:
- When the host changes availability (e.g., removes a Tuesday slot), the client generates a new availability bitmask.
- It encrypts this new payload with the same key (so existing URL holders can still read it).
- It signs and publishes a new event with the same d tag but a newer created_at timestamp.
3. Resolution (LWW):
- Relay Side: Relays discard the old event and store the new one (purely based on timestamp and ID, zero knowledge of content).
- Client Side: Even if a relay sends multiple versions (due to propagation delay), the client logic applies a Last-Write-Wins (LWW) policy, simply rendering the event with the latest timestamp.
Why this works for Scheduling
Since scheduling (in this specific context) is usually single-writer (the host defines availability) and multi-reader (attendees view it), we avoid complex merge conflicts.
- Host: Sole authority on the "Availability" event.
- Attendees: Sole authority on their own "Request/Booking" events.
If an attendee tries to book a slot that was just removed (a "stale read"), the host's client—upon receiving the booking request—checks it against its current local state and rejects it cryptographically (or simply ignores it), preventing the double-booking.
Mostly an excuse to write a simple template system and play with some self hosting. Hopefully something will come of it soon.
