Lifestreams was also an interesting take on a desktop UI back in the day

Is the AWS account phone number also their phone and not the business/corp phone? And you tried the dedicated lost MFA device form?

"- cursor position marked as ${CURSOR_TAG}: Indicates where the developer's cursor is currently located, which can be crucial for understanding what part of the code they are focusing on."

I was not aware that was a thing and useful to know. Thanks!

Anthropic employees Sholto Douglas & Trenton Bricken did an interview recently with Dwarkesh Patel, pieces here and there was about the circuit tracing insights.

https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/sholto-trenton-2 -- search the transcript for "circuit" for the quick bits.

Eg, "If you look at the circuit, you can see that it's not actually doing any of the math, it's paying attention to that you think the answer's four and then it's reasoning backwards about how it can manipulate the intermediate computation to give you an answer of four."

Adding to the GP & sibling: Even in Los Angeles with some of the bigger libraries the IT/programming books were on the older (outdated?) side.. The more modern material was at the book stores like Barnes, Borders, or another one at the mall (I don't remember if it was B Dalton, Walden, or something else).. thankfully I could skateboard there after school or work and read them there for the evening since I couldn't afford them. Getting the internet and SNR of content back then was a game changer to me too.

Ahh I see. Thanks for the info!

Is this subject purposely spelled Aidemos somewhere like the HN title says instead of AI Demos?

Thanks for linking the list! I'm seeing "Sangoma U.S., Inc." in it, which might apply to quite a few people & companies.

Reminder to anyone if DKIM keys haven't been rotated in a while they might still be 1024. Eg., Google Workspace but new keys are 2048 now.

Since php 7.4 there's been opcache preload to keep a lot of the framework instantiated, in php 8.1 opcache inheritance cache covered some ground with preload.

Some frameworks like symfony considered removing preload support but they were still seeing benchmarks of 10% better performance with it so it was kept.

The biggest pain point with preload IMO is it's global, not per pool, and php-fpm needs to be restarted to update the preload script.

Relatedly the movie "The Fountain" they combined chemicals and bacteria to create some of the visual effects instead of CG. The DVD has an extra of "Peter Parks Bonus - Macro Photography Loop".

Recent question I haven't look much into yet: Is there a way to limit the number of simultaneous http2/3 streams from an IP address with Caddy?

I'm thinking the same.. if I've fallen off a cliff or crashed my bike and broken my leg, possibly in shock too, I want something rugged & simple to activate like a PLB

Dunno why you're being downvoted, you're correct that it's only "or".

Post on ACIDRain as an example of the ecomm time-gap issue back in the day: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20027532

Another example is API Platform's docker setup:

Volume config: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform/blob/main/docke...

Caddy config: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform/blob/main/api/d...

php-fpm config: https://github.com/api-platform/api-platform/blob/main/api/d...

I'm also curious on the performance differences between containers.

Tweeted Sep 21, 2010, might still be true for EC2 VMs though.

Do you have a blog post or writeup on how you discovered that? Thanks!

3M is also in another lawsuit for defective earplugs supplied to the US military: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/legal/product-liability/3m-ea...

It would be nice for web apps to have a setting users (not only the developers) can enable that will allow closing the app's window without quitting the app, like a lot of native desktop apps behave (eg, Safari).

WS = WebSocket? I think integrating with the Discord API would've been one use case until they added the slash commands & webhooks.

But looks like Discord Gateway blocks CF Workers: https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/issues/6145#issu...

Maybe just me but the cloud desktops pricing still isn't all that attractive for some businesses to make a big shift to using them, but also not terrible for some businesses that could use the extra security or cloud environment benefits:

8hrs per workday for a 4 vCPU and 16 GB RAM = $217.36 per month[1]

Pretty sure referring to this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35929275

In addition to the other comments, after it's up & running some colos will also offer "remote hands" assistance, like replacing a failed drive. In that case ideally the enclosure will or can be made to make that slot's LED red or something so they know exactly which drive to pull.

Another annoying mic feature was older macbooks (before T2 I think) didn't have any built-in way to plug in the 3.5mm jack for a mic, and the usual sound output still be the internal speakers. Or an easy way to set the mic to monitor mode like in Windows.

Relatedly I wish Mac's "mission control" and "app expose" was better, becomes difficult to find frequently used windows.. seems to place windows in random places. It'd be nice if it made it easier to see browser tabs.

I liked the the UI/UX of David Gelernter's "Scopeware" layer, that seemed like it would be a nice alternative to either of those.

FYI Chrome is trialing that feature natively titled "Memory Saver". It's available in my laptop's settings, but currently still not in my desktop's.

I think you were referring to this part with "errors creeping in", such as the Usenet storage servers probably using cheap/old drives & controllers with bit-rot & bit-flips before it got to the TCP/IP stack.

Probably also using cheap/old network equipment too that would bit-flip between when the TCP/IP checksum was recalculated. And like you said, combined with the re-publishing of corrupted files if they didn't bother to par2 correct them first (ie., human errors creeping in :)

I believe they're referring to 802.11bf "WLAN sensing"
