Ages ago (like 2001 or so?) I started building something to automatically archive everything I browse. I used tcpflow (
https://www.circlemud.org/jelson/software/tcpflow/). I've seen a fair bit of varions of this idea over the years
Then SSL/TLS started getting widespread and I lost focus. Nowadays, I guess you would build it as an extension in the browser.
Fun exercise in this article: do an alt-f search for the word "ancient".
Note: AWS NLB doesn't terminate TCP for TCP listeners.
It would be great if they introduced mitigations for this vulnerability though.
I cut my teeth on the Sinclair ZX81 in the early 80s. Missed the Spectrum.
I sort of want some kind of physical Spectrum nowadays; or perhaps a USB keyboard made to work like it. Recommendations? =)
And you don't even have to charge them nightly. I kind of want a smartwatch, but not until this is solved.
Thanks for writing and then sharing this document. (Kidding. Thanks though.)
Why does it need to be scientific in the first place?
Yes, this is as scientific as e.g. sociology.
(Which car brand?)
But where did that replacement dash assembly come from? They just intentionally made it less granular because make number go up.
I see your point, but it's a slightly different one.
Okay then, with that confidence you simply must be correct.
That's mostly a Tesla thing, isn't it? The traditional western car manufacturers figured this out many decades ago.
Not necessarily, if you include the supply chain of the BEV? (I assume.)
"We've done tons of user testing on this, and it turns out it doesn't work," Jobs said at the company's "Back to the Mac" event in 2010. "Touch surfaces don't want to be vertical. It gives great demo but after a short period of time, you start to fatigue and after an extended period of time, your arm wants to fall off," Jobs continued. "It doesn't work, it's ergonomically terrible."https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/apple-intelligence/articles/ergono...
You can't build a reliable model by just looking at the news.
Look at government data.
Well except for the regular HN anti-AI crowd. The same people that have wished for communism and never ever looked in detail into the 20+ states that failed that way.
COME ON, FLAG ME.
So Google is the new Microsoft but with better software engineering quality. And two decades younger. And they're still slowing down.
(Maybe I should reallocate some of my GOOG stock into ANT after all.)
That touches on the core reason not to get excited about these Google releases: They release something cool
and then don't iterate on it. Instead they go off building another cool demo instead.
Gah. Go iterate. Listen to customers, adapt, iterate some more etc etc. That's how products are made.
They even put the (optional, by default it's wireless only) 2.5G Ethernet socket in the external power brick. This pattern seems to have been introduced with the M1 iMac. The 2.5G upgrade is new.
The design, especially with those colors is gorgeous, yes.
Did it really promise that? Who pitched that?
It allows for infinite scroll in x/y directions with only (3x) incremental paints of new columns/lines without:
a) needing to redraw a full screen when you reach the end of the buffer/region "ring"
or
b) relying on VGA 64k address wrapping (fiddly, doesn't work the same with all cards, doesn't allow you to use a split screen for a stationary lower status bar).
You need two regions for double buffering, giving you more paint time for all those sprites and one more for the wrapping trick. As you move around these three regions swap roles.
Simplified:
Three regions that move as you scroll in x/y: current/next/clean.
The key is that when you scroll a column or a line, that column/line is written in all three regions.
The clean region is used both as a source for filling the dirty places where sprites have been written as well as the next current or next after a wrap.
VGA registers take care of the x, y start output.
FWIW I've spent the past few days happily reverse-engineering various aspects of DOS games I've long been curious about. I finally understand how Arjan Brussee did the scrolling in Jazz Jackrabbit. It's brilliant. This guy is a genius.
It's somewhat complex to understand; I didn't understand Claude's textual explanation at first. After asking for a html/js simulator showing things visually it clicked.
No pushback from Claude so far.

This isn’t a dropshipping success story, a lucrative exit, or a guide. This is a silly story documenting our failed hardware startup. It’s embarrassing to fail, so we seldom hear these stories, but I’m going to tell you one, here goes.
I like the idea. Maybe add a very brief explanation about how it learns?
Also please make a tvOS version. It's a perfect fit. :)
