How do you like to cheer yourself up when you're sad?
  • Getting some sleep (sober). I’ve learned that the world seems harsher when I’m tired. After a night or two of good sleep, things feel less of an issue.

  • What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income?
  • A really nice electric guitar, amp, and pedal. Money was tight as a kid for a lot of reasons, my dad did the best he could. However, this meant playing with some equipment that didn’t sound quite right.

    Now I have what I always wanted, but have trouble finding the time and energy to play.

  • US Credit Union Service Leaks Millions of Records and Passwords in Plain Text
  • Every credit union I have been a part of had some home brewed security system that did not follow best practices. Really felt like they contracted out to some kid still in college just to have something online.

    I’m certain there are better CUs out there, but I think the issue is most can’t afford much better.

  • 250 million-plus reserved IPv4 addresses could be released – but the internet isn’t built to use them
  • Amazon is going to (if they haven’t already) start charging a lot for IPv4 leases. Given how much of AWS the world uses, I imagine this will start the transition to IPv6.

    GCP and Azure need to do the same.

  • What manner of creature is this?
  • Cat. Dog. Bunny.

    Cogunny? Caogunny? Datunny? Dotunny? Buogat?

    Bugatti.

  • Yes, it is cricket: Italy gives go-ahead to insect flour for human use
  • I haven’t figured this out either, but my wild guess is the greater protein content over carbs in regular flour. I’m thinking of things like keto meal bars, or something.

  • Zed - A code editor written in rust by Atom's Developer.
  • Another one people might be interested in is Lapce. Seems to be the same thing as Zed, but has a Linux build available. https://lapce.dev/

  • Pixar will undergo significant layoffs in 2024.
  • Shareholders are pensioners, IRA, and 401(k) account owners too. Small people with aspirations of retiring one day.

  • 5+ man group games
  • World of Warcraft. If your focus is primarily in PvP, then you specifically want to look at Battlegrounds and Arenas in WoW.

  • The "10,000-hour rule" was debunked again. That’s a relief.
  • Makes sense to me. You are either capable or incapable of doing something (badly and otherwise). Practice is just refinement over that.

  • Driverless Truck Companies Plan to Ditch Human Copilots in 2024
  • Great idea. Now we need to address the politics of who is paying for the new infrastructure, who will be collecting taxes on it across multiple boundaries (each with their own interests), and how to time share the tracks with others. Then we need to update regulations to help mitigate disaster scenarios in cases where hazardous materials are transported and compromised.

    I am not dunking on the use of trains, that should absolutely be done. It’s just not as straight forward to implement when businesses think “this is already here (freeway), and it’s cheaper and easier.”

  • What are some things that Linux can't do, but Windows can?
  • I can understand disqualifying VMs, but why wouldn’t a container be that?

  • ‘People eat two or three packets a day’: how instant noodles took over the world
  • Is that with or without the included seasoning packet? If I skip using the seasoning, is it still really salty?

  • Deleted
    To separate Email address from being an online identity, a concept I thought up, detailed by ChatGPT,
  • Could you please compare WebAuthN to your suggestion? What are the pros and cons as they relate to each other?

  • The first EV with a lithium-free sodium battery hits the road in January
  • I don’t know if it’s AWD, but I’m excited for the Fiat 500e coming to the U.S.

  • Multifactor auth done right
  • That last one reads like C’thulhufactor.

  • Apple wants AI to run directly on its hardware instead of in the cloud
  • Apple added (a while back) what they call a “Neural Engine,” which is hardware dedicated to efficient execution of ML workloads.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_A11

    They have been refining it ever since. I would not be surprised if they made advancements in both the hardware and software used for local GAI.
