The EU is mandating Apple to implement WiFi-Direct https://www.ditto.com/blog/cross-platform-p2p-wi-fi-how-the-...

WiFi doesn't fare any better than BLE under rubble unfortunately, but WiFi is going to be a useful technology to build disaster response tools in general

Plenty to read on this topic here

A good start is the series of articles “Making the most of Apple silicon power”

Cool question!

Patrick Collison (of stripe fame) put together a collection of historical ambitious projects that got done quickly, look into the biographies of people mentioned in there. https://patrickcollison.com/fast

They do it via operator specific IP pools https://www.whatsapp.com/cidr.txt

Very cool!

If someone is looking for something similar with less hassle, let me plug my friend’s product :) https://www.inklay.app/ I’ve been using it for the better part of a year now to show the weather, a dashboard and some comics and am very happy with it, it just works and looks great too

SpaceX has no qualms launching competitors constellations, it has done so with Kupier already.

Sure the prices might not be quite as good as what Starlink gets but definitely comparable in big-O notation (especially compared to other launch providers).

They have this on airliners now https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_operations_quality_as...

Git is peer to peer, you can add an ssh remote that points to the directory containing the git repo on another machine.

Nice project!

Made me think of the emoji physical keyboard from Tom Scott https://youtu.be/3AtBE9BOvvk

Seems like a great use case for https://antithesis.com

Something could be hacked together with this perhaps https://jouemusic.com/en

It is not big but it is meant as a computer input device that can be struck with drumsticks

I meant Github issues of open source projects, maybe it's not so obvious :)

Github issues are an infinite well of tasks that people find valuable, and they make for a great portfolio too

The experience of making and publishing websites and apps from within puter is sobering for how simple it is. Something to aspire to

The provided link jumps directly to the flowstorm demo, while the initial 15 minutes provided an overview of the problem statement.

> the average techy has through some combination of general news like this and just enough technical know how formed an unrealistic threat model for themselves.

amen :)

Not only do I agree with you, but I don’t think anyone would be able to tell an attack was imminent if they were to see the URL anyway. I was just providing facts to the comment above that didn’t seem to think RCE are a thing anymore.

Remote code execution vulns are still routinely discovered, for example: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2023-4199...

There’s apps that just scan the qr code into a text field no matter what its content is, then you can inspect the URL manually.

Unfortunately there’s a deeper problem in this security model, in that only a tiny tiny fraction of the web’s userbase knows how to assess a URL, and even experts can easily struggle

With some caveats perhaps... theoretically speaking if 80GW of PV were to produce at 100% output power 24/day that would be about 700TWh in a year

For context, demand in Germany sits at about 500 TWh/year

Some prior art: https://github.com/nextjournal/clerk

> Clerk notebooks always evaluate from top to bottom. Clerk builds a dependency graph of Clojure vars and only recomputes the needed changes to keep the feedback loop fast.

posthaven seems like a good shot: https://posthaven.com See faq>archive mode

Of course it’s nothing more than an organization of people promising you that they will keep the lights on for you insofar as it is feasible, but i’m not sure you can get better than that in practice

“Structure and interpretation of classical mechanics” by Sussman bridges this gap beautifully

Look up "employer of record"

I recently witnessed something similar dating back to pre-Inca times in the archeological city of Quilmes: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-6DnSeACUPUUskeJJIuB...

We have them in Italy too btw, search for “muretti a secco”.

Odoo is a nice and easily customizable (in Python, iirc) ecosystem if you can find what you need in there

This lecture series by Martin Kleppman is excellent: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeKd45zvjcDFUEv_ohr_HdUFe... as well as his book “ Designing Data-Intensive Applications”

Reading trough the Jepsen analyses is also invaluable (not for the faint hearted, you might find some software that is dear to you absolutely torn to shreds in there): https://jepsen.io/analyses

Finally, all of the classic papers are worth a read: spanner, bigtable, google file system, dynamodb, chubby, dapper, the google paxos engineering paper, the main ones from Lamport… that said distributed system is a vast field, resources as far apart as the bitcoin paper or the original Shapiro paper on CRDTs might be of interest :)
