Temporary_31337··on Digital signs in Brookline are collecting data from your phone as you walk by
If all the things to worry in the world, even in the narrow subsection of data privacy which feels like a 1st world human right, this particular case is not the one to worry about. Worry about how much Meta and Alphabet know about you, worry about the governments, but not the roadsign. Feels like a distraction

FUD. Collecting randomised MAC addresses is hardly something I would worry about. And if you are paranoid you turn off the wifi.
Temporary_31337··on 'Operation 404' Results in First Prison Sentence for Pirate IPTV Operator
Looks like they went for the money but I dare say with gang crime etc there are far higher priorities for the Brazilian police. I dare say letting people watch movies for free or cheaply could numb those hardcore criminals to stay at home and commit fewer crimes
Temporary_31337··on 'Is monetary policy even working?'
If the war escalates to Europe US companies will have nowhere to send their iPhones and Teslas to.
Temporary_31337··on 'Is monetary policy even working?'
Too early to tell IMO. The fact that inflation is going up again tells me they may have played too safe with the only blunt instrument that they have
Temporary_31337··on 'Is monetary policy even working?'
Homebuilders are hesitant to set up new projects as the new builds will be more expensive than the already elevated house prices- higher labour and materials costs higher interest payments for the home builders And finally More expensive mortgages for the end clients. This kills supply and it will send prices into the stratosphere.
Temporary_31337··on Oxide Cloud Computer. No Cables. No Assembly. Just Cloud
And they keep the margin to have money for R&D. I kind of get it because it’s low volume for now but I don’t necessarily see the appeal of being an early adopter here.
Temporary_31337··on Oxide Cloud Computer. No Cables. No Assembly. Just Cloud
There needs to be a dev kit of sorts. I’d be happy to recommend Oxide to some of our customers but not before I try it first. And I’m not buying a whole data centre just to play around?
Temporary_31337··on Apple Is in Talks to Let Google's Gemini Power iPhone Generative AI Features
Upon news like that I’d be shorting Apple. Seriously all these billions and zero in house models?

What’s broken with current office 365? It’s a good product and service.
Temporary_31337··on Conditional Love for AWS Metadata Enumeration
I feel like the potential to abuse this is pretty low but AWS will ‚fix’ this and make IAM even harder
Temporary_31337··on Is Tableau Dead?
What’s different between an internal dashboard and a customer facing one? I am mostly asking what specifically is missing from Apache Superset as we are seriously looking into it… for internal use
Temporary_31337··on Ledger
I know that US finance is a bit behind but in Europe you can get a bank account with a nice app and even separate that into different pots or accounts free of charge.

My bank automatically classifies expenses and you can of course export to csv for further analysis. I have two virtual debit cards one for personal and one for business stuff so all of the stuff ledger does is fully automatic.

Temporary_31337··on Meta's new LLM-based test generator
All this to write another CRUD app ;)
Temporary_31337··on Form to DB
This links to the legacy table component.

Which should I use for new projects? I assume the new one?

Temporary_31337··on SSDs have become fast, except in the cloud
The main reason is that cloud providers charge for IOPS

Strava for lifting stones? This won’t end well.

Temporary_31337··on OpenAI Deal Lets Employees Sell Shares at $86B Valuation
Current valuations of companies don’t necessarily need to reflect the future earnings in a smooth curve. For example if I believe that theirs is a 50% chance that someone will catch up to nvidia in 20 years this should still be priced way above 20x because they might not. A lot of investors might feel that way and it might be another decade until the stock price drops significantly.
Temporary_31337··on Groq runs Mixtral 8x7B-32k with 500 T/s
not without affecting performance though? If you delay refreshes, this lowers performance as far as I remember...
Temporary_31337··on GoatCounter creator is hoping to raise at least €1k for basic living expense
You should read about psychology of gifts and how it helped the white man to conquer America. Native Americans were such honourable people that they felt every gift must be repaid and more.
Temporary_31337··on UniFi Express
Genuinely curious What do you need 50+ vlans for? It feels like you could have physical lans to separate or simply different subnets? It’s hard for me to imagine why you would want to aggregate so many vlans over a single physical connection?

You can add dang.ai to the list ;) I get 504.
Temporary_31337··on Out-braking the ABS myth [video]
The video correctly explains that ABS isn’t about shortest braking distance but more about a predictable trajectory and ability to avoid obstacles where possible. It also takes a lot of guesswork from braking as you can simply instinctively slam the brakes and get good enough results. Especially on a motorcycle slamming the brakes in panic without abs ends up in a crash.
Temporary_31337··on Berkshire Hathaway posts a 40% jump in operating earnings, cash pile of $157B
When even sage of Omaha can’t find opportunities to invest it definitely hints towards a stock market crash or correction soon. For those of you that might need to cash out some money in the coming years (maybe when you get made redundant) I would definitely recommend to rebalance at least some of the portfolio into bonds. Stock market will likely outperform in a long enough time period but it might be too long for some.
Temporary_31337··on Admin unmasks self as sockpuppet of other admin who was banned in 2015
I have a bit of silver lining - I saw an article on Wikipedia about Unicode that was factually incorrect and I edited that anonymously, fully expecting that some overzealous bot will overturn my edit. It’s a few months later now and my edit is still live for the whole world to enjoy!

The main feature of psytrance music is the copious amount of psychedelics you're supposed to consume to enjoy it.

Temporary_31337··on Show HN: Every Breath You Take – Heart Rate Variability Training
Exactly. Generally the best athletes have very high max HR and low resting HR but by measuring how quickly and how low your HR goes back down after an exercise is a decent indicator for stress, overtraining etc. If your normal rHR is 55 but it only goes back down to 90 after exercise it most likely shows that you are untrained, stressed or overtraining.
