It depends on the vertical. If you're outsourcing a sixth-generation fighter jet or an aircraft carrier, your options are fewer than if you're outsourcing building construction or office supplies. You don't want to trust yo

Anthropic is gearing up for an IPO. The fact that other protocols already do what MHS describes is not relevant to the intended audience: investors with FOMO. Also: https://xkcd.com/927/

The solution is A/B testing and then looking at the resulting crash statistics. Weekly reports produced by the connected BI system should use excrutiatingly precise language like "number of {people,children,dogs,expectant mothers

None of it matters if the controls aren’t responding. You’ll know, too, because they make that sad static beepy noise like some sort of Tactile Control Panel ACKnowledgement failure.

I can’t argue with you there. The Pentagon’s silence is deafening; I only want to caution myself as much as anyone against jumping to conclusions. It may be AI, it may be bad intelligence, it may be Russian counterintelligence, it may be

Modern 802.11 implementations are wildly complex. The output from `iw list` on a Linux system with a modern WiFi radio, a trip through the example configuration that ships with `hostapd`, or perusing the lengthy list of standards, amendmen

It's possible that he's taking "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" to its logical if unhealthy extreme by interpreting every ambiguous 802.11 frame as one with ill intent. However, just because he's paranoid

Oh my... This is how the code could look indeed. Which LLM did you use to generate this?

Yes! I also used glyphosate to kill things growing in and around my sidewalk, driveway, steps, and curb. I've also used a propane torch for the same purposes, but it requires more effort and cannot be applied quite so selectively. I

Nest is hardly the only thermostat out there using solid-state relays. Have you considered the possibility that they did take it into account and they deliberately chose to use SSRs instead of electromechanical relays? Have you considered

by mechanicalpulse 11mo ago
Well that's certainly a take. Solid state relays using optoisolated MOSFETs have been around for fifty years. Mechanical relays are overkill for signal switching as in HVAC thermostats, IMHO, but you do you. Anecdotally, I have a fir

I also went about looking at the difference rather than the order. In the hexadecimal case, the difference is 15 (0xEF vs 0x12). I thought, then, that for any base B with ascending digits A and descending digits D, (D-(B-1))/A=B-2. F

At infinity, the shape becomes a sphere and all orientations of it are identical. It is no longer a convex polyhedron and, thus, not subject to consideration.

Podman is daemonless while docker is a client/server pair. Podman also shipped with support for rootless containers, though Docker now has that capability as well. The podman CLI is nearly a drop-in replacement for docker such that `a

I've experienced the mind-numbing frustration of API specs that don't match the implementation, which is why I have embraced the concept of requiring the spec to be part of the implementation. For example, the express-openapi pac

Mostly the fact that it's based on Markdown, which makes the raw specification far easier to read with a text editor than OpenAPI/Swagger. Markdown also permits styling in the various descriptive portions, which makes for superio

Gruber is famously protective of the original Markdown specification and his specific use case. He’s reacting to others’ expectations and clarifying his position that a “Markdown editor” is a bit of an oxymoron. He supports that position

The site was assembled using webpack and at least one element has a `data-react-helmet` attribute, so my guess is it's a React or React derivative such as Next.js. You're right -- it's not progressive enhancement and it&#x27
