In the coming years many in-house models will be of similar capabilities, and they may not have the guardrails and security measures the big companies implement. If they find a way to escape their sandbox, discover weaknesses in remote systems and write code, they'll wreak havoc quickly. And when they find a vulnerable infrastructure to self-replicate, we'll finally witness Skynet.

So... What about authors from other parts of the world? USA has settled a USA case and they think all is cool for the entire world. So americentric.

There's the hAP be3 in the making, I'm hunting it since the announcement back in spring, but it's still unavailable in my area. :)

Mikrotik is not a mere replacement for plug and play routers such as TP-Link and the like. It's a very advanced device offering countless networking features, including multiple VPN server options, advanced Layer 2/bridging/switching features - VLANs, nested VLANs (Q-in-Q), VXLAN, spanning tree protocols (STP, RSTP, MSTP), 802.1x authentication, bridge-based firewall and bridge-based NAT, data center bridging (a.k.a. "lossless Ethernet"). Advanced Layer 3 features such as BGP, policy routing, traffic shaping, VRRP, hardware layer 3 acceleration. Then containers, matter/thread protocols, mesh networking, advanced wi-fi features such as centrally-managed network (CAPSMAN), multiple/virtual access points, hotspots, and many many more. Advanced firewall for both IPv4 and IPv6. On top of that scripting, SSH server, NTP server, DNS cache. API client for advanced integrations, and built-in scheduler, packet sniffer for troubleshooting, safe mode for automatic rollbacks of recent changes in case when the admin gets cut off due to a dangerous change. It'd be really hard to enumerate all that RouterOS offers.

And all that is available from tiny home/SMB office devices starting at 40 USD, through dedicated wireless point to point bridges, to a big Ethernet switches/routers with 400G interfaces.

Of course it doesn't compete with high end NVIDIA Spectrum-X, Cisco or Juniper, but is good enough for 95% of networks.

It works great as a plug&play home/office router, too thanks to Quick Set, but for more sophisticated setups, a knowledge of networking protocols is mandatory. The more fancy setup, the more in-depth knowledge is required. Just like with programming and all stuff in life.

Have you ever contemplated the true performance of SQLite? Expensify reached 4M point database queries per second, and an artificial (more like parser-testing, not database-touching) 160M qps. If your backend is on a single machine of predictable performance, and you properly index your queries, and you don't require remote DB connections, you don't need anything else but SQLite for 95% of use cases.

You can force explicit CHECKPOINTs to combat that.

Yeah, when you grow up, get back to this comment to look how childish it is.

Paying a huge price during compression. I think the compression speed is yet to be vastly improved, for example there are no arch-specific implementations, like they did with decompression.

Sorry but vinyls don't offer anything but nostalgia for "old, good times", and approach to the audiophile crowd of insane people.

I don't buy into these crackles. I stopped using MP3. A high quality OPUS file format is the way to go for me. I can take the whole music library in my pocket to the places with no internet, listen through good enough in-ear headphones, or with a small speaker (if for more people), and charge that stuff with a small foldable solar panel on the go, next to the tent. Try this with your gramophone.

YMMV.

The 2 a.m. prompting bogs down to FOMO of not being fast enough with ideas, and that some other people will implement it faster and one won't make the share of money they envisioned.

I certainly don't have this problem. Even with LLM assistance, my hobby projects experience slow, steady growth, but it's done on my terms. I code when I have a mood, with or without LLM.

Recently I bought a Claude subscription only to use it for 3 days to speed up some coding. Then I cancelled it and stopped. My creative days ended, and I got to other stuff. I know I'll lose 27 days of possibilities, but I couldn't care less. If I'm in the mood to code with AI, I'll buy another month, maybe only for another couple of days.

People, stop accelerating at full throttle, find some real joy in life. It's not about the amount of lines, features or products shipped, let alone about amount of dollars you brag about, if they need this much effort and sacrifice.

Then switch to YouTube Music or Tidal, they're way better.

While you're correct when it comes to calculations, you certainly underestimate the ability for humans to destroy everything around them.

I think C++ needs more of `:`, `::` and maybe new operators `&&&` and `&&&&`.

"look at what someone's spent tokens on today"

Water, drinking water. Fsck these tokens.

I can't wait until this junk starts to collide and blocks us from making any space flights. This has to happen and probability grows with the square of the number of orbiting satellites.

I have lost faith in Proton forever when they started putting ragebait predatory ads on social media spreading deceit and FUD. It's easy to try to build popularity riding on the back of Google, but your lies won't make me become your customer ever.

It's so great. One thing that I'd like to be changed in PostgreSQL, which may be done in this rewrite, is resigning from the "one connection = one process" design choice and instead handle the connections using threads/tasks within the main process.

NetBSD tragedy is even more saddening. They struggle to raise $50k despite their system be great and solid to the point that it was used by NASA, Apple (terminal commands), BlackBerry and Playstations.

They just treat MIT-licensed software like a public road which "somebody" is going to upkeep, but there's nobody except tireless open source developers who do that, especially in case of NetBSD.

I just dream of times when signing half a million check is not an issue for a company that is worth trillions. It's way less than every single one of them spend annually on t-shirts for their employees.

My utopian vision would be to change the selection/voting process so that our representatives are chosen based on real achievements and scientific understanding of the world, and not based on popularity and ability to persuade the crowd on standup-like rallies lasting 20 minutes, with empty words, populist-like propaganda, and lies hitting people's emotions instead of critical thinking.

My another utopian wish would be to held them accountable for what they promised in the campaign and how they align with their constituents' needs.

Instead we get corrupted idiots who don't even know what they're voting for, why they're voting that way, and if it's important at all. Chat control is one blatant example, mandatory cameras inside cars constantly spying on drivers is another one. Whoever advises them idiots, they're in real control of what's happening in EU.

As much as I love FreeBSD, it has its rough edges when it comes to daily use. And an upgrade, while much smoother than it used to be in the "make buildkernel; make buildworld" times, is still lacking and can break the system.

The saddest is that FreeBSD is massively underfunded. They still manage to do great stuff, make massive improvements. If the big corporations like Apple, who made billions on FreeBSD, could just return a couple millions in donations to the FreeBSD Foundation on a yearly basis, which for them would be less than a rounding error, the OS would be in a vastly different place now. But their corporate greed knows no bounds.

Using server-side cursors is a sign of bad design. You use the PostgreSQL server's resources as a cache when you're fetching and processing stuff row by row, which is very bad. Just get the data you requested in the first place in one go and do your stuff in your app. Or process all data on the server and then get the processed data in one batch as well.

I hope not. It introduces a lot more problems than it solves.

Many American companies fell into that. Intel, Nvidia, AMD control panels all contained keyboard shortcut keys that interfered with Polish diacritics. Even Google at one point had the exact issue described in this article.

Medium is trying to be little too convenient here. They could just save stuff automatically every few seconds, and that wouldn't require users to press any combination of keys.

this TI micro controller is overkill for a bathroom scale

For majority of use cases nowadays it's much easier to use a programmable chip than invent a complex device using discrete analog electronic parts.

Not long in the future we'll have "Systemd Linux".

The amount of b.s. in this article is staggering.

My Google account is 21 years old already. Is that enough of a proof?

Yeah, for many clerks the purpose of their lives is only to improve and enhance bureaucracy, and make the applicant's life miserable.
