my friend's mother would make it for us, and I would secretly top it up with water and dilute the grounds until I ate/drank them down.

Not only did this illicit reactions of disgust, but it prevented them from doing a coffee reading of my future as my cup was always clean by the end.


So had you not done the herecy of diluting the coffee grounds, you might have been foretold your future of being replaced by LLM tokens

That's everybody's future, so I would have been pretty unimpressed if that's all she could come up with

Hey, people at AI companies are grinding, it's just more modern and l33t grinding.

> Proba-3, works just like a real solar eclipse. One spacecraft, which is roughly circular when viewed from the front, orbits closer to the sun, and its job is to block the bright parts of the sun, acting as the moon would in a real eclipse. It casts a shadow on a second probe that has a camera capable of photographing the resulting artificial eclipse.

> Having two separate spacecraft flying independently but in such a way that one casts a shadow on the other is a challenging task. But future missions depend on scientists figuring out how to make this precision choreography technology work, and so Proba-3 is a test.

Oh wow, they've potentially rescued this (very cool!) mission for both probes


Scott Manley had this nice overview of the mission (~9 min)

You buy a car, and it lasts maybe 10 years, and then you sell it on to someone else and they drive it for maybe another 10 years.

Updates should not be neccesary. An update can affect the resale value of my car by downclocking it "for safety"


If the manufacturer downclocks your car for safety, can't you sue them for the loss of value? Surely they're admitting that they sold you an unsafe vehicle.

See Google and the Pixel4 battery debacle.

In theory if you bought your phone from one of their vendors you could get your cash back. In practice, the phone was old enough to have already been resold and there's no way you could claim that rebate


It's definitely the first one. People at the upper echelons of the pyramid know how exactly unstable it is, but hope to grift off of the latecomers

Whilst I enjoy their topics, I do admit their banter feels like it's talking down to the audience

NTS and Radio6, genuinely enough to expose me to new things

Is proot related to Gvisor?

wasn't familiar with proot -- with a quick look I think proot is a fancy chroot -- which, in turn, is kind of "the first step" for a generic container.

to achieve the isolation that gvisor offers you would have to intercept syscalls, create a separate mount/user/net namespace etc.

regardless, I don't think proot is somehow related to gvisor ;)


It does though, it has user-space implementations of chroot, mount and kernel syscalls. You can even run a debian image built with a later kernel on an older linux system

This is an advert.

You might have enabled the "Focus Macro" mode, which gives better pictures but requires a steady hand and patience


bash history and persistent configs across updates are huge QoL wins for me


What do you mean by persistent configs? OpenWrt always preserved the config between upgrades.
