but google sucks, its a terrible product thanks to its ads. Internet is terrible without adblockers.

Now chatgpt can add some subtle ads in their apps and they have enough users for companies to spend money on it.

As I understand it, the machine also needs lots of 'normal parts' and can be designed differently to fit the factory and the automation. Like if you need a pipe, instead of buying it from ASML, you can buy it from a local hardware vendor. And parts of the ASML also break, and those parts would be directly shipped from the vendor that makes the part. ASML manages the integration between these parts and each part can have multiple vendors that makes them according to the specs.

I got the pebble time 2 now for a month. Pebble is the Casio smartwatch.

The issues are a bit sad. But I will happily upgrade with the discount to the revised version of time 2.

To me, a Pebble is better than an apple watch due to battery life and hack-ability. Especially with the latest AI models it is just your imagination. And with ASK and Notification Forwarding it will be much closer to a Apple Watch in functionality.

Mikrotik also has a safe mode for testing configuration

There is also a terraform provider. Not sure if there is a safe mode here. I normally test via ssh safe mode and import the changes afterwards.

This is arguable a feature.

I made a prototype where AI automatically fills in the checkout basket for an amusement park. I found that ChatGPT tells how many adults, how many kids, what date suits you.

There are quite some security concerns, but fully banning AI from filling in query parameters with relevant user data is not the solution. This is also why I think Claude didnt give the bounty. Their solution would likely be a combination of trusted domain allow list and better security model that protects user agent.

I remember from my interrail planning that big parts of Europe are not nice to visit due to too slow trains. I heard EU wants to fix this though

German train delays are not a big blocker because you normally plan a whole day train travel to go from A to B and being one or two hours late is not too bad.

It looks exactly like neovim plugin ecosystem and I was waiting for someone to make this.

I tried pi before but the gap between codex and pi is too big for me to be productive. Ideally lazypi is easy to disable or add plugins as well.

In the case of DRM it might be easier to use third party cartridges.

Another issue with solar deployment is that there needs to be power cables that can consume the electricity.

But a train company practically always has running trains when the sun is shining. So they wouldn’t need to worry about disabling and losing money on the panels.

The real challenge is economically connecting the panels to a rail substation.

Actually I believe these agentic models will teach you the value of software engineering faster. You can vibe entire code bases in days and learn more quickly.

In my experience with all agents, including Fable, is that they work great when there is automated validation. But as soon as it needs to design something, it just keeps adding so much slop.

CursorBench 3.1 21 days ago

I mean, they train their model on their training data. So by it should score well on their own benchmark.

I want governments and banks to allow open-source software, not control my phone.

For example, I essentially trust the ROM I download from the GrapheneOS website. What I want is for governments, banks, or some independent open foundation to be able to approve that ROM too, so attestation can work with it.

More like how CA certificates work: not perfect, but not locked to one vendor either.

Practically speaking, I can set up real hardware-enforced boot integrity on my Framework laptop today, both on Arch with sbctl and on NixOS with Lanzaboote or Limine.

There are still many unsolved problems in hardware security, so this is definitely not solved today. But I don’t see why it should be impossible. The EU could push the industry toward attestation models that respect user ownership instead of locking everything behind vendor-controlled software.

I'm ok with enforcing hardware security. Both for banks and governments.

But it must not limit the ability of running custom software on a phone. And especially not enforcing every person to get a Google/Apple signed phone.

Like if I get GrapheneOS on my phone. Banking/gov apps should work. But I believe this could be possible with enforcing hardware security as well.

You don't need a single wafer, you can split the model into many smaller different chips and connect inputs/outputs.

Skip VHDL and directly go for GDSII / OASIS. Try to find similar vectors so you get re-usable blocks.

You can dynamically calibrate a chip by fine tuning output.
