Re-arrangeable every week for the new weekly sponsor!

Maybe even a new "Shade as a Service" business model. ;)

Also, they signal that AI was definitely involved in the process, which can mean the writing itself is generated garbage.

> If you look at casualty rates from some of the early Greek warfare during the hoplite era, it's also surprisingly low.

Didn't Genghis Khan wipe out entire cities? Like, every person inside, kind of thing. Women/children/etc included.

## Quick Start

An (apparently, as I haven't tried it) ready-to-go ComfyUI graph for the above. In theory you should be able to drop these into ComfyUI and have it work:

Most places I've worked in the last few years don't have logs greater than 12 months, and some even only retain logs for 1-3 months. Apart from specific 7+ year legally mandated systems for things like financial records.

Heh, sounds like it'd be along the same lines as the SCO Unix kerfuffle back in the day.

> Our logs confirm

You retain all logs back through to (at least) March 2023?

That link seems to be a blank page unless you remove the `/amp/` fragment on the end of it.

And after reading the page, it would probably be better on The Onion as satire if it wasn't real. o_O

Sounds like the budget for the police could be better used for improving their water supply. :)

Yeah, they closed and locked that issue about an hour ago. :(

Looks like the GitHub repo added some minimal attribution a few days ago: https://github.com/google/artemis/commit/371aa6df56880643da5...

They've also closed the reporting issue, and pro-actively locked it without any kind of explanation or apology: https://github.com/google/artemis/issues/40#issuecomment-568...

That they didn't even bother to apologise or explain their actions seems pretty shitty. :(

Awesome, thanks. :)

Thanks. I skimmed the video as it was late at night, and didn't notice it. I'd better take a proper look at the video. :)

> Are you not reading the thread where people with direct experience with these specific backends are noting the WSDLs either are not accessible or don’t match the actual services?

Correct, yes I haven't.

Other members of staff where I'm working are from Java backgrounds, and have described (in detail) WSDL/XSD (when things are accurate) in positive terms as I put above.

And yeah, I'm presently dealing with vendor specs/docs that don't match what's actually sent over the wire, and it's a huge pain in the arse. And the vendor doesn't give a shit, as like you allude to they're in the telco business so the lock in aspect you mention is correct to. :(

Is that a guess, or do you know for sure? :)

> That seems like a Go problem.

Yeah, fully agree. I was super surprised to find the SOAP support is practically non-existing too, as Go is really strong in lots of other areas. :(

That being said, SOAP's stronghold is clearly the Java ecosystem. Wonder if it's as popular in any other non-java-ecosystem based languages?

Looking at the vendor page for that 5K colour camera, the page directly says they only support Windows and macOS. :( :( :(

> The Arcturus Vision apps include Arcturus Vision Camera for recording and playing 5K HDR spatial video, Arcturus Vision Gaussian XR for exploring 3D Gaussian splats, and Sync for transferring recordings to Windows or Mac (with conversion for other players on Mac).

I've emailed their support to ask, just in case. :)

> WSDL/XSD specs in this case seem to be incomplete or just wrong.

Are you meaning in my comment, or in the GitHub repo the article references?

Asking because AFAIK the theory of having (accurate) vendor provided WSDL/XSD files is that you can generate a bunch of code (ie parsers, strong validation) that works with it, generate tests. There are additionally well developed SOAP specific GUIs (ie www.soapui.org) which will directly load the WSDL/XSD files and let you immediately make test network calls to validate things.

Though sure, you can do the above manually without WSDL/XSD files, but if you have accurate ones provided to you by vendors then it makes things a lot easier.

Couldn't it be both? :)

Yeah, kind of.

It's more than just a few days of effort though. Sme of the members of my team at work have been working on adding SOAP 1.1 support. It's a significant amount of time and effort though.

People still use IMDB after they introduced mandatory account registration to even see user reviews?

> mature code generation support for all relevant languages.

Heh, "relevant languages" is kind of an interesting term there. If the relevant language is Java then sure, it's fine.

Some popular modern languages (ie Go) don't have good SOAP support (yet). At least not to the point of being able to point them at WSDL/XSD specs and have everything auto-generated. :(

Yeah. The primary draw for me is being able to try out VR stuff on Linux (finally).

There are other devices with what seems like unofficial Linux support, but this seems like the only modern VR system with official support for it.

I think the think they're aiming for here isn't to rewind to a particular point in time, but to remove a transaction from the history and while keeping the transactions after it.

> The US may never regain the international standing they enjoyed before.

The US has been in decline for decades. Trump is just the latest leader while it's happening, and seems to be accelerating the process.

Like you say, I can't really see it ever regaining the (positive?) "international standing" it used to have, even after new leadership is in place.

This Linus Tech Tips video from ~4 months ago is probably useful then.

"I bought a TV with NO 'Smart' Features": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJh72_O4pXE

It's pretty much "this is cheap, but the picture quality turns out to be crap". :(

DNS over HTTPS stuff wouldn't be caught by this would it?

Maybe that's the tipping point where it decides were not needed any more... o_O

> at ICC yet.

Want to take bets on whether the US gov wades in if that happens?

The US gov is directly antagonistic to the ICC and will undermine them whenever possible. This would present them another chance.

Sounds like yes, as the quote from the article:
