Oftentimes it's undiagnosed health issues, such as vitamin deficiencies and/or malabsorption conditions such as gluten intolerance preventing proper vitamin levels, that can present much like "inexplicable" burnout, imho

I've read some of your stuff over the years and was appreciative of its accessibility. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/ The above is another example I appreciate: the authors charge for physical copies

I agree with the cognitive premise unfortunately. But even so, I start to speculate about solving this by DIY book printing, or advances in digital reading technology (mostly I'm interested in the latter, for example, means of "sp

In most cases that is also true, although in rare cases I will buy physical copies of certain books for that reason.

I have a hard time cognitively justifying most physical book purchasing anyways when internet shadow libraries have most of what I want to read.

People salivate so hard at the thought of the high level of automation promised that they're willing to do away with privacy altogether and live in Data Communism. My thinking is, this will increase the demand for backup and other resi

This is awesome! In the past I would use the promise of starlink or other LEO internet as a tiebreaker for booking flights and was disappointed a few times (as clearly not all of the airframes for an airline have the capability)

I don't know much about UL but I can say that FCC certification (also technically required) for electronics can range from about $3k to something like $30k depending on what you're doing. ($3k would be for "unintentional radi

That's all fair. It is a cool piece of work nonetheless. For example I am thinking, what if I wanted to hook up my micasa instance to some other arbitrary self-hosted service? If it's an App that means bespoke code, with a spreads

I feel like a lot of these types of apps could just be spreadsheets. Maybe a "smart" spreadsheet like Grist[0] executing Python code. Am I off-base there? [0] https://github.com/gristlabs/grist-core

This is a more honest comment than the many around it making overly intellectualized arguments. But I would sooner compare this engineer class to something of a small bourgeoisie swallowed by a yet larger one, especially in the United State

Familiar relationships always come out of a sense of shared responsibility and utility, not out of a "secular" desire to "make friends", the way I see it. So, live vigorously in a way that benefits from social relationsh

ZeroFS is a single-writer architecture and therefore has overall bandwidth limited by the box it's running on. JuiceFS scales out horizontally as each individual client writes/reads directly to/from S3, as long as the metadat

It has some functionality of this type (you can see in the overall map a small number of "sensor" nodes), but it's not super well fleshed out or documented ATM. What I think you can do for sure today is poll a sensor over the

Nth for MeshCore, which the Boston Mesh has found to be a much more scalable solution for building an emplaced mesh network with hundreds of clients: https://analyzer.letsmesh.net/map?lat=42.00963&long=-70.9639... Separ

I think that would be too reductive. The objective productive factors of software are what give it actual value. The author could have chosen to write "produce useful software", but did not.

I find that the software that evinces a feeling of admiration in me is itself as devoid of feeling as possible, RE the observation that aesthetics are created out of pure functionality. The more "sentimental" or "egotistical&

Meshtastic is reasonably good for unplanned and mobile use cases such as hiking, but for building an emplaced network, Meshcore has much better performance. This has been our experience in the Greater Boston Mesh.

by aeblyve 10mo ago
It's worth commenting to me that MeshCore performs much better than Meshtastic at scale and as an emplaced deployment. We have a very active network of about 60 nodes in the Boston area which feels similar to iMessage in deliverability

The reason is oftentimes fairly simple, certain people have their material wealth and income threatened by such automation, and therefore it's bad (an intellectualized reason is created post-hoc) I predict there will actually be a lot

Agree, and well said. There are no points for hard work, only results -- this is an extremely liberating principle when taken to the limit and we should be happy to say goodbye to an era of manual software-writing being the norm, even if it
