I believe it's at least partially powered by my open source GPS tracking project - Traccar. Nice to see public access for this data.

I also see quite a bit of traffic from China and Singapore. I wonder if it's some scraping for AI training. It doesn't really bother me too much because traffic is still fairly low, but it skews all the analytics for me.

Presumably the whole point of AI is that we can start reducing that number. I am sure there's a significant number of people just working on various administrative tasks processing data and documents.

All of the increase is from energy. Oil prices.

It doesn't mean it's a good investment. It's just a personality cult. I suspect it might take a generation or more to settle on some reasonable price.

Wait until you hear about float multiple Nasdaq is doing.

You're misrepresenting things a bit. S&P 500 has not approved those changes yet and they have some other protections as well. Nasdaq and FTSE Russell definitely sold out and should not be trusted as good indexes going forward. Most

Excellent article. I agree with a lot of points. One think that wasn't mentioned is globalization and bailouts. Companies are getting bigger and more concentrated than ever before. And we bail them out when they fail due inefficiencies

I did a bit of research on this some time ago and it's not as bad as I originally thought. Index funds would need to count only liquid float of the company. So if Space X total valuation is 2 trillion, but float is 5%, then they need t

With modern tools it should be pretty easy to build scalable solutions. I take premature optimization as going out of your way to optimize something that's already reasonable. Not that you should write really bad code as a starting poi

Of course everyone should do their own due diligence, but my point is mostly that open source will have many more eyes and more effort put into it, both by owners, but also community.

I have an open source project and started receiving a lot of security vulnerability reports in the last few months. A lot of them are extremely corner cases, but there were some legit ones. They're all fixed now. Closed source software

Good catch, thanks. Updated the readme. The planet can be downloaded directly from OSM.

Most or all existing solutions are universal (not just reverse geocoding) and rely on database. The purpose of this project is to make it super fast to do one thing. The result is 100x - 1000x speed of Pelias and other universal tools like

It took about 8-10 hours for me on a 192GB Hetzner cloud machine. The resulting index was just 18GB, so once the index is created it's really efficient and you can easily run it on a small VM.

I've been using WeChat. My hope is they won't dare to block Chinese messenger. China is pretty much the only remaining lifeline for Russia.

Russia has been slowly cracking down on popular communication and media platforms. First they slow down connection to unusable speeds. This happened to YouTube at some point last year. At first they even said that it's something wrong

No link to source and just says "The source code is available from Open Camera's SourceForge page." Why not link it?

Maybe they’re trying to DDoS it, and once an error is returned, they assume that no robots.txt file exists and then crawl everything else on the site?

I think it's really poor argument that AGI won't happen because model doesn't understand physical world. That can be trained the same way everything else is. I think the biggest issue we currently have is with proper memory.

Are you serious? It's open source. And there's less than 1000 lines total. Get Codex or Claude to review it if you're paranoid.

I recommend checking history of deregulation of agricultural industry in New Zealand. It didn't lose the industry. Actually the opposite happened. Persistent government subsidies are almost never a good idea long term. I understand tha

I was very skeptical about Codex at the beginning, but now all my coding tasks start with Codex. It's not perfect at everything, but overall it's pretty amazing. Refactoring, building something new, building something I'm not

Is it just a Bluetooth mic in a form of a ring? Or is there something more to this device?

We've had purpose built machines for a while now. I think the whole point is to have an adaptable machine that can replace remaining humans.

Read the article, but couldn't understand how they measured it. To be fair, I think it's definitely a bubble, but it's hard to compare something like this.
