huflungdung··on Why is everything so scalable?
What I say is that we massively underestimate just how fast computers are these days
huflungdung··on TikTok removing posts for violating the "joy of TikTok"
Thanks. The fact that this got flagged and removed is rather apt.

So what though? If I have a website and I want a particular type of content on it, why should I NOT be allowed to moderate it? These are not public services.

How are these reliably extracted (hint: they’re not)
huflungdung··on Cache of devices capable of crashing cell network is found in NYC
“Triangulation is non trivial”

Uh. No it isn’t. SNR between 5 or so masts gives you the exact location of any cell device. This is how $oldemployer used to track them

Those friends could have been managers or sales or HR. Not necessarily engineers. And to save face they are just parroting fab methods they heard in passing.

Obviously not DED or binder jetting, and anyone who knows metal printing would see that instantly. DED has the resolution of a hot glue gun, laying down thick beads of molten metal that could never produce such a fine, intricate lattice - it's built for large-scale, rapid deposition, not delicate internal structures. Binder jetting is even more of a non-starter; you're essentially gluing powder together and then sticking it in an oven to sinter. That process leaves behind a distinctly porous, slightly grainy microstructure because the particles are fused, not fully melted, which looks nothing like the smooth, continuous, and fully dense solidified strands you see in this micrograph. This image screams high-precision, localized melting, which is the exclusive domain of powder bed fusion techniques like SLM or DMLS.

huflungdung··on Are people's bosses making them use AI tools?

huflungdung··on Acoustic Panels as Wall Coverings in Star Trek: The Next Generation
No. It’s because it looks cool and futuristic. Nothing else.
huflungdung··on Delete tests
Contrarian blog post trying to challenge the status quo without understanding the implications in order to look like a visionary.

I say this in interviews just to look smart. And people think it’s revolutionary. Everyone loves an outspoken opposition -what do they know, where did they get this knowledge?!

Only a couple have ever pushed back and those that do are the companies that I want to work with.

A wild example, let’s delete a test that ensures a heart pump works at the correct duty cycle given its parameters. Now someone comes along and redefines milliseconds to microseconds for some unrelated component. The tests are all fine. Patient now has a 60000 bpm heart rate.

Stupid idea.
