Indeed. But why not run the tests in CI when merging to master?

This thread is first time I hear about V2H. (I don’t have any car yet, electric or otherwise.)

It sounds amazing. Only thing I wonder if it can even be set up so that it will be like an Uninterruptible Power Supply. So that when there is a blackout, the V2H supplies all the power without any interruption.

I have several computers but no UPS yet. Imagine if I could buy an electric car and when I am not using it, my car is UPS for my whole house including my computers! :D

Yes, but if you select the text and copy paste it it comes out with a single h, and also the <title> of the page has it with a single h and a double h.

  <title>*sshole · sshhole.com</title>

Strange and confusing.

I mean I understand that in “*sshole” it’s referencing the * that is central to the issue and putting it so it looks like a censored version of “asshole” while also referencing that it’s an ssh hole. And the domain is more simply ssh hole instead of sshole. Is a way maybe it does makes sense to do both. But it did seem at least at first strange to me that the domain is one thing and the name is a slightly different but almost same thing. Like there was a typo when registering the domain, or like the author changed their mind about the name slightly after registering the domain.

I remember when I was doing pixel art, there were some purists that insisted that using layers and transparency/opacity to create windows for your buildings is more or less cheating. According to them, one should manually figure out what the color palette should be for things seen through a window.

Anyway, I continued using layers and transparency/opacity. Pixel art was hard enough already for me, so I didn’t feel that it made sense to artificially make it even more difficult for myself at the time. I had enough other aspects of pixel art to work out already in order to try to get better at it.

Exactly! I read it on the phone and I enjoyed the nostalgic look of the page.

I was even thinking, this is what the web used to be.

If instead of this it was written on another Medium blog or as a bunch of tweets, it wouldn’t have had the same impact that it does for me. It is the way that it should be, for the story it is telling.

All I’m saying is, that it is reasonable to assume that a lot of other people also benefit from AI to find bugs in Linux.

The Linux kernel is also a huge amount of code that has been worked on by a lot of people for many many years.

There are certain types of bugs that are too obscure to realize are even there for a person alone. And there are types of bugs that even if you see that something is funky it is too time consuming to dig into for a human.

I am not saying that the Linux community is not doing great. They are doing a fantastic job, and have been for years, and they are giving all of that away for free too which is nothing short of incredible.

What I am saying is that I think AI allows everyone to find even more bugs than was humanly possible without AI.

> The community is already doing a great job at finding and patching the actual vulns without the attention-desperate big labs.

It is however reasonable to assume that a lot of bugs that are being found by the community these days were found thanks to those people using AI to aid them.

See for example what a PostgreSQL developer is saying:

> All software contains bugs, and PostgreSQL’s code base is large, complex, and old. Our git history – converted from CVS – now reaches back more than 30 years, and the first code was written a decade before that. There’s a huge amount of code, and that code contains a huge number of bugs. That’s always been true, and it hasn’t stopped PostgreSQL from being popular or successful. What’s different now is that it’s become vastly easier to find those bugs. […]

> […]

> […] a huge number of people on the Internet are now reporting bugs in PostgreSQL that they found using LLMs, and the PostgreSQL committers have been very, very busy fixing them […]

> Nintendo 3DS is another great space to watch

Back in 2020 while the Covid-19 pandemic was on-going and we were all told to stay home as much as possible, I bought a New Nintendo 3DS XL (terrible name making “New” part of the product name btw) second hand for about $100 with some games included. I also picked up some additional games for it second hand as well. I even got a bunch of games that one person was giving away for free.

After enjoying the 3DS XL for a couple of months I eventually sold it to someone else.

I was thinking recently that it would be nice to have a 3DS XL again (I’ve also tried DS Lite during the same time that I bought the 3DS XL, but only the 3DS XL is comfortable to use for the size of my hands).

In my country the amount of money people want for a 3DS XL is much higher now than what it was in 2020. People want $300 and up now for their 3DS XL, even without games included and even if the condition of the console is very worn. The few times that something even moderately decently priced shows up it will most likely get picked up very quickly by someone else that wants to just buy it and then sell it for more.

“That depends on what your definition of 'is' is.”

Sun used to say “the network is the computer”.

Now you are telling me we could potentially have “the DVD is the computer”. Imagine printing not just a capacitor but a whole PCB and soldered components, putting the innards of like a Raspberry Pi on top of a specially crafted DVD that has said single-board on one side and a readable DVD surface on the opposite side! :D

I have a LightScribe compatible external CD/DVD burner. It came with a LightScribe disc that I haven’t taken the plastic off still to this day. Since it only came with a single one I could never decide which one thing to use that one LightScribe disc for, back when I was still burning things on CD and DVD.

Ableton is my DAW of choice. I haven’t regretted the purchase of a license for it a single day in my life. Even though much of what I use it for would be equally doable probably in the “Lite” version of Ableton that came with several of the pieces of hardware that I have. I was initially using the Lite version and eventually pulled the trigger on upgrading after having been on Lite for more than a while.

I had to buy a new crimping tool a while ago because I couldn’t find the one I had from a few years before.

I ended up buying a small kit containing both crimping tool and a couple of additional tools.

One of the tools included is an Ethernet cable tester. It has two parts; one for each end of the cable. The part on one side is powered by 9V battery (same one used in smoke detectors etc).

You connect the parts to the RJ45 plugs of each side. And it has individual LEDs for each of the eight leads in the cable. They are lit up in sequence. Any that don’t light up means that that pin is not properly connected, or the cable is broken.

And using that tool is how I found out the reason one of the router ports report 100M instead of 1000M connection. Half of the leads on the cable connected to that port are damaged or not properly connected! And the four that are working are the ones needed for 100M.

I remember that when I originally crimped that cable years ago I was struggling for quite a while, getting no connection at first until after a couple of attempts I got it connected. I didn’t notice at the time, nor for a long time after, that it was only a 100M connection. And it took until I had this tool to figure out the why of it being only 100M.

There’s enough videos in that pile to watch for a long time. I don’t think HackerTube needs to keep pulling updated comments.

And if it’s frozen in time there won’t be any reason to spam irrelevant YouTube links to HS either.

Well that one is easy!

There you go, that’s the entire list :)

Take down notice for what exactly though?

It doesn’t clone the actual front end code of YouTube, and it doesn’t even download the videos and rehost them on his own server either. All of the videos are normal embeds from YouTube.

Some videos can only play by going to YouTube, because they are age restricted.

> In some sense it proves to me that llms are not just copying and are actually creating a bespoke solution.

Is the weirdness of the designs meaningfully beneficial in any way that the AI has figured out, or could it for example be that the training data the LLMs learned from are too different from the type of data it would need to learn from in order to interface properly and play the game better? And then because of that incompleteness, the LLM has to hallucinate a lot and it results in weird outcomes.

That is indeed the chemical reaction that creates rust, and they intentionally named their OS such for that very reason, as they are writing this OS in the Rust programming language. But I am not sure why you’d just comment that and nothing more. For a moment I thought you might be a bot instructed to “write a relevant comment for this title”. But your other comments in other threads seem human to me.

Eh I dunno. At the moment we are using a WhatsApp group chat. It works reliably and everyone is happy.

If I were to move our families to a different app I’m on the hook for any and all usability difficulties, instabilities, network connectivity issues etc etc. Even when the issue is their own internet, they are going to think that the app I made them switch to is the problem.

I have enough things to deal with already. I’ll stick with WhatsApp for the foreseeable future unless Meta does something sufficiently annoying or bad to really make me leave it. I already left Facebook many years ago and deleted the account completely I had there. I kept my Instagram but the last couple of years I’ve been less and less and less active there. I don’t even have the instagram app installed on my newest second hand phone. So I only check it once a week or so, from the previous phone.

> the escape key became a virtual thing

Yeah I could see that being annoying.

On my MBP M1, the Esc key is physical one sitting in the same place as normal; top left. On the top right is the power / Touch ID button. And filling the space between them is the Touch Bar.

And I think the reason I like the Touch Bar is because being able to slide the screen brightness and the speaker volume up and down on it is both pretty quick and precise. Much more comfortable than only having volume up / down and screen brightness up / down buttons. And I can’t really think of anything that I am missing physical Fn buttons for in anything of what I am doing on the machine. Even booting into recovery mode does not involve use of any Fn keys. Just press and hold the power button when powering the machine on and keep holding it pressed until it goes to startup options.

I have a MBP M1 which has been my main laptop since it came out. I never really understood why so many people complained about the Touch Bar. In fact, I will kind of miss the Touch Bar when I eventually replace the MBP M1 with something else a few more years down the line.

Oh interesting, TIL :) Thanks!

Gotta justify that $160k/yr salary somehow I guess, and if the AI is writing all the code you used to write and your job is now to manage the AI, what better way to spend the days than making new AI tools and workflows and markdown files all day

In Oslo, Norway, we have train signaling errors all the time it feels like. It leads to a lot of delays and things. But I think that when these systems are not working, it is better to slow down everything even going as far as to put some trains on hold for some time, to avoid human errors in manual instruction and routing leading to crashes and deaths.

I run WireGuard VPN on port 443 UDP. Many times I can connect to that from various public WiFi networks like coffee shops and public libraries. And then I ssh into my machines at home over my self-hosted VPN.

I’ve been hoping that HTTP3 adoption would make 443 UDP accessible from even more places. But maybe they already do the kind of thing you said for that too, looking at the traffic flow to determine that it is not HTTPS.

Weirdly sometimes there are WiFi networks where I am not able to connect to my WireGuard VPN on 443 UDP, but I can connect to servers over ssh on standard port 22 TCP. Perhaps they sometimes block all UDP traffic because they don’t want people to use BitTorrent etc, but one would think that with all the online meeting platforms that do video streaming there would be a lot of problems for people if all UDP traffic was blanket blocked.

I might eventually try out AmneziaWG instead of vanilla WireGuard, but at the moment I am fine not being able to Connect to my VPN sometimes. I only use it to connect to my other machines anyway, not as a VPN tunnel for my web browsing etc.
