Hasn't that been true of marketing websites for a long time?

pkaeding··on OpenAI Is Preparing to File for an IPO Soon
The M2 money supply is ~4x higher now than in 1999. Does that indicate there is a lot more runway now, than then, at least on that metric?

NH banned ALPRs, with some narrow exceptions.

pkaeding··on Zuckerberg 'Personally Authorized and Encouraged' Meta's Copyright Infringement
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be pedantic. I was trying to make the point (which I think is in line with your point) that the fact that AI is involved here doesn't make a difference. It is a tool, but the people using the tool are (as always) responsible for the outcome.

But machines don't do things. People do things, and they use tools/machines to do those things more easily or efficiently.
pkaeding··on Apocalypse Early Warning System
Betting against dumb people is often a good strategy.
pkaeding··on Apocalypse Early Warning System
> The tracked set is built from FAA registry data

So I imagine planes in other countries exist, but the US FAA doesn't have data on them.

pkaeding··on Apocalypse Early Warning System
So, if you see a 5, you are probably fine. If it gets up to 6 or 7, maybe start worrying.
pkaeding··on Apocalypse Early Warning System
But I bet if you filter for airports that business jets park at, the percentage of airports without towers is much lower than the overall average.
pkaeding··on Girl, 10, finds rare Mexican axolotl under Welsh bridge
Yeah, they do sat they only want tails from squirrels harvested primarily for food; they don't expect or want people to hunt squirrels just the sell the tails.

Mepps buys the tails, they make fishing lures from them: https://www.mepps.com/squirrel-tail/
pkaeding··on Backblaze has stopped backing up OneDrive and Dropbox folders and maybe others
I see what you mean, but isn't this an issue with any filesystem backup tool? Or is there something about untracked files in a git workspace that is different, that I'm not seeing?
pkaeding··on Backblaze has stopped backing up OneDrive and Dropbox folders and maybe others
Sorry, what are you saying shouldn't be done? Backing up untracked/modified files in a bit repo? Or compressing the .git folder and backing it up as a unit?
pkaeding··on Backblaze has stopped backing up your data
This is a good point, but you might expect them to back up untracked and modified files in the backup, along with everything else on your filesystem.
pkaeding··on Proton meet isn't what they told you it was
What do you use/recommend that are better alternatives?
pkaeding··on Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry
Could you use claude via aws bedrock?
pkaeding··on Cocoa-Way – Native macOS Wayland compositor for running Linux apps seamlessly
I thought Wayland was different from X11, and didn't allow this. But I'm far from an expert on this topic so I'd like to learn more.
pkaeding··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
That's how they worked in Soviet Russia, right?
pkaeding··on LexisNexis confirms data breach as hackers leak stolen files
> permitted a single ECS task role "read access to every secret in the account, including the production Redshift master credential."

...

> noting that the stolen information was old and consisted mostly of non-critical details

So I guess 'mostly' is doing a lot of heavy lifting, and they hadn't rotated the credentials in a long time

pkaeding··on Dr. Jebra Faushay: "The 80s: You Just Had to Be There"
Like the headline said, you had to be there...

Of course, nostalgia slop can exist for any period. But it can be interesting to stop and think about how the little details of everyday life have changed over the years.

pkaeding··on Our Agreement with the Department of War
Yes. And I'm sure the next administration will as well. These things only ratchet in one direction.
pkaeding··on The Day the Telnet Died
You would still be able to use the telnet client to connect to an SMTP server on TCP port 25, just not port 23, right? I don't think that part changed here.

pkaeding··on Comma openpilot – Open source driver-assistance
Maybe this doesn't beep at you if you take your hands off the wheel?

And people think that is a good thing?

pkaeding··on LWN is currently under the heaviest scraper attack seen yet
Okay, but "fad-use-of-GPU bros" doesn't roll off the tongue as well.
pkaeding··on Locating a Photo of a Vehicle in 30 Seconds with GeoSpy
Why would a thief post a photo of a stolen vehicle? Are they trying to sell it whole? I can't imagine that is very common, since the buyer won't be able to register it, right? Aren't most stolen vehicles disassembled (chop shops, etc)?
pkaeding··on US blocks all offshore wind construction, says reason is classified
Yep, this is what I was thinking. It was part of the detente negotiated to end the "drone" hysteria about this time last year.
