From [0], it seems that RCS can use the cellular signal instead of LTE or 5G: > In cases where RCS is able to operate over cellular networks without data, it supports messaging as well as file transfer, enriched calling, and more. [0]:

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but unless there’s a local resolver for every single one of your clients, aren’t the DNS requests sent in plaintext to the upstream of your local resolver? That might not be an issue for your situation, b

I was going to say something similar: invoking one’s credentials as a professor only counts for legitimacy if that 30-year legacy of thinking on the topic is applied to the problem under discussion. In my opinion, if the analysis is offload

It's a remarkable coincidence that I'm reading the book The Nothing that Is: A Natural History of Zero by Robert Kaplan, and this passage on page 96 seems precisely relevant to this situation: """A Roman idiosyncr

Lots of (most?) programming languages are 0-indexed so it feels natural for software developers and our ilk.

This seems simple and utile! Reading though the white paper on GitHub, there is a malformed Markdown table in the “Why WebRTC?” section [1] that probably just needs one more | somewhere. [1] https://github.com/richlegrand&#x

I’m curious what makes you a supporter, as you say? Supporting the companies that make them or the developers themselves pushing the technology forward or the impacts of the proliferation of the LLMs’ usage or something else?

I like this article because it seems to go into decent depth on the “framework” that the author comes up with. However, this following quote has a simple reason that I don’t see anywhere in the article or framework: “”” Why is there a huge

“Users verify cryptographic proofs to ensure that servers behave properly.” If this is one of the defining tenets of this data system, is it not DOA? See also: the PGP key-signing parties that never were…

I’m in the same boat. Am trying to figure out how to configure Vinyl cache (née Varnish) in my home lab.

Right, this is roughly my mental situation, too. I guess that streaming JSON things can eat up compute way faster than I had any intuition for!

This is a helpful breakdown, thanks, @otterley. It is, by orders of magnitude, larger than any deployment that I have been a part of in my work experience, as a 10-year data scientist/Python developer.

> This was costing us ~$300K/year in compute, and the number kept growing as more customers and detection rules were added. Maybe I’m out of touch, but I cannot fathom this level of cost for custom lambda functions operating on JSON

Is it incontrovertibly built in to macOS? I have an iPhone and have never enabled it or Siri, so maybe there is similar off switch for macOS.

The AirPods Max 2 are primarily Bluetooth headphones, but support lossless audio over USB-C cable, for what it’s worth.

No, the ultimate beneficiary of LLM-created code is the toll collectors who stole as much intellectual property as they could (and continue to do so), fleecing everyone else that they are Promethean for having done so and for continuing t

This is why I still prefer Signal; this practice seems to be their modus operandi even though they, too, were affected by AWS us-east-1 catastrophe

I am really only familiar with Python, in which I’m pretty sure that the .py becomes .pyc and then CPython translates .pyc into machine instructions. How does this differ? Is an IR the same idea as Python’s .pyc?

I’m in the same boat, and what tipped me there is the ethical non-starter that OpenAI and Anthropic represent. They strip-mined the Web, ripped off copyrighted works in neat space, admitting that going through the proper channels was a wast

I like the `VARIANTS` env. var [0] to take advantage of x86_64 newer extensions if one’s processor has them. CachyOS is a whole distro compiled with these flags, if possible, which is appealing. [0] https://github.com/tvlabs
