I'm working on RootCX (https://github.com/RootCX/RootCX), a platform for building and shipping internal apps and AI agents in production.
Think of it like "Claude code on Supabase", but for internal apps and AI agents.
I got tired of choosing the deployment platform, wiring up Postgres, SSO (OIDC), RBAC, audit logs, secret vaults, integrations/tools/MCP, ... from scratch every time I needed an internal tool.
I would also recommend Control Panel for Twitter, easy to install on PC, and you can also have it for your phone if you use twitter via the Firefox mobile browser.
If all you can see is the following tab, then any ragebait that gets in your way is much more actionable, simply unfollow or mute whoever got it on your feed.

gotta say I don't like Pepsi, but I love Jarritos Cola and Fritz-Kola, they're both bitter enough. Most other Colas I've had in the U.S are too darn sweet.
If it's purely DNS blocking (no IP redirection or blocking), your own recursive resolver (eg, unbound) shouldn't be affected, assuming the ISP doesn't also intercept unencrypted DNS queries. If there's also interception, encrypted DNS upstream might help (assuming they're not blocked entirely, repressive countries do this, so far not in EU)
I don't think any of them will help in Spain case though, I believe the ISP/court choose to block the IP range entirely, which hit Cloudflare customers. DNS hijinks won't solve those.
For the love of all that's holy - folks please stop using AI to publish smart sounding texts. While you may think you are "polishing" your text, you are just disrespecting your readers. Write in your own words.
Many environmentalists seem completely unwilling to acknowledge the concept of tradeoffs. Unless a solution is 100% perfect in every way, they reject it. Or at least, the committees and infighting become so protracted that they cannot agree no a solution. This is true of our world today. We have limited resources with which to address things like pollution and emissions. We should be focusing on the most impactful changes first, posing the fewest costs. Nothing has zero cost.
Problem is, NVIDIA has so many quality of life features for developers. It's not easy getting especially smaller scale developers and academia to use other vendors that are 1) much more difficult to use while 2) also being slower and not as rich in features.
Personally I opted in to being NVIDIA-vendor-locked a couple of years ago because I just couldn't stand the insanely bonkers and pointless complexity of APIs like Vulkan. I used OpenGL before which supported all vendors, but because newer features weren't added to OpenGL I eventually had to make the switch.
I tried both Vulkan and CUDA, and after not getting shit done in Vulkan for a week I tried CUDA, and got the same stuff done in less than a day that I could not do in a whole week in Vulkan. At that moment I thought, screw it, I'm going to go NV-only now.
Precisely so: the OED's role is descriptive, in that it is to describe English as it is used, not how it ought to be used.
"A French" is seen as ungrammatical by the ordinary English speaker, and the OED accurately reflects that fact. It is evidence of a grammatical rule, it is not the rule itself.
You can speak however you like, there is no language police, but the fact is the average English speaker will perceive certain constructs to be grammatically incorrect in English, and "a French" is one of them.
For coding it makes no sense to use any quantization worse than Q6_K, from my experience. More quantized models make more mistakes and if for text processing it still can be fine, for coding it's not.
I think a better question, rather than a point about unsigned exes, was: "on a regular consumer version of Windows, what happens if you run literally any program that was not downloaded from the Microsoft Store?". In which case the answer is "you cannot run it, there is a pop-up directing you to the Microsoft Store, and the only way to find out how to run it is it to google the information which will point you through several layers of system menus to disable nanny mode". This will happen to you for something as common and widespread as downloading Chrome or Firefox. Attempting to disable nanny mode will result in an ominous screen warning you about how bad the thing you're about to do is, and telling you that the action is irreversible.
Microsoft is not as bad as Google and Apple, yet, but they absolutely have the power to be as bad and are flirting with how to accomplish greater and greater control of their platform without triggering too much backlash.
Isn't the Macintosh desktop (with Cmd as the modifier for standard shortcuts) older than Windows and Linux desktops? So historically, it's not Apple that deviated but the others?
(I did not do an extensive search into this, so there might be Ctrl-based standard shortcuts that predate Apple.)
Yeah, but that's the current state of the art after decades of aggressive optimizations, there's no foreseeable future where we'll ever be able to cram several orders of magnitude more ram into a phone.
A native application (Windows, Linux, MacOS) for music transcription.
It comes with time stretch and pitch shift as most of these softwares do, but it allows you to save loop regions and take notes. It's designed to be a practice session tool.
I'm doing it from first principles, and having fun writing GPU code, platform shims, and squeeze every ms I can to make it fast and smooth.
I will be looking for testers soon. If anybody is interested, hit me up.
Around the poles is a bit of a blind spot in satellite coverage. The angle with which the satellite orbit is offset from an equatorial orbit is called the orbital inclination. Because the earth rotates under the satellite, a 0° orbit would give you perfect coverage of the equator and not much more, a 10° orbit would give you good coverage of a band around the equator, etc. The closer to 90°, the more coverage you get of the northern and southern latitudes.
Now there's a neat trick you can pull where you go into a special 98° orbit (so like a 82° orbit, but in the other direction). At that point the slight bulge of the earth twists your orbit around just so that for any given point on earth you always pass over it at the same time of day, giving you identical shadows. That's a sun-synchronous orbit, and is obviously immensely helpful for optical observations. But those missing 8 degrees prevent you from observing extreme latitudes. Usually we don't care because not much is happening there anyways
Even satellites without optical instruments usually suffer from the same blindspot. For example if you look at the Starlink constellation almost all satellites only reach up to about the middle of Great Britain. Everything further North is only served by a much smaller number of high inclination satellites. And there don't seem to be any Starlink satellites going directly over the poles
Analysis of Terri Schiavo's brain revealed that it was mush.
To put it more analytically
"She had developed hydrocephalus ex vacuo, a condition marked by enlarged ventricles filled with cerebrospinal fluid, because of this profound loss of cortical volume"
Half her brain was gone and it was the part we have identified as the seat of identity.
Her brain was so far gone that believing she still existed requires dualism.
A couple of things:
1. data management for music publishers. This came out of nowhere but has got me back into coding, deploying, test. And I've got real lessons using AI-generated code that I wouldn't have got just reading other ppl's blog posts!
We've been mapping all the data formats publishers work with, how to organise them better and build a suite of apps around it.
2. the other projects it the framework. Aside from the product itself, I've ended up with a really nice framework (FE and BE) and playbook for copilot to follow. I've hit multiple problems with AI generated code and had to rework it like I have for junior devs! But now, the framework focuses the work and stops the slop!
I want to build out all the product-dev-helper tools I've wanted in the past. I've already got a lovely schema-UI system, UI components which are data-aware and the basis of some low-ish-code tools. I've also nearly got a "run tests and fix" local LLM which saves tokens.
Probably the only even slightly relevant thread I’ll ever find for this so here goes. There is a certain visitor in the “Madrid Autonomous Community” (whatever that is) which frequently requests just my homepage, no other page on my site, over and over again.
It comes in waves, and it’s not enough to affect anything, but it’s very weird because when I did some digging by looking at the ASN there was actually only one active IP address and if I browse to it I get someone’s Synology NAS login page.
Why would someone setup their NAS to randomly keep pinging my homepage?
Do you folks know any support bot which is actually useful to the customer? No, I don't mean cheap for the company, I mean helping, I mean fulfilling the goal for which (at least according on the powerpoints) it exists?
This thread is bizzare, full of commenters who pretend not to understand why the OP post doesn't prove anything. It's not the first pro-Lebanon anti-Israel post either in the last few days.
Think of it like "Claude code on Supabase", but for internal apps and AI agents.
I got tired of choosing the deployment platform, wiring up Postgres, SSO (OIDC), RBAC, audit logs, secret vaults, integrations/tools/MCP, ... from scratch every time I needed an internal tool.
