fair enough -- dunno what domains telegram uses

I think you misunderstood -- OP is running op-s-domain.com/telegramchat -> redirect t.me.

They updated op-s-domain.com/telegramchat -> redirect telegram.me.

Huh?

“Get off your high horse” is the phrase I flipped because I was grandstanding.

What phrase are you referencing?

I wanted more control and no UI. The commercial ones do that -- I think this was like $150 more than the "samsung smart ui" one... Never seeing a smart TV interface was worth that for me. YMMV.

I'll get on my high horse and say you can get solid "DID/Commercial" TVs for not that much more: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1788343-REG/samsung_q...

I got this a few months ago -- 4k, solid brightness, and ok color.

Is it the OMG BEST? no. But I Disabled wifi, and even the channel display.

I use it with an apple TV with CEC on the TV -- I turn on the apple tv, TV turns on straight to apple interface. I turn off from the apple remote, TV turns off.

It's effectively "an apple TV" -- I'm happy.

Git is not designed to handle 1000s of clones and merges to a single repo in minute scale even.

Sure, you are right. Git allows you to keep distributed state and eventually reconcile that.

Customers are trying to do that at absurd human scales right now without AI. Git itself is a bottleneck for large enterprises with large repositories and large CI configurations.

It may be hard to believe but it’s true.

I wholeheartedly disagree.

Git has always been one of the biggest perf bottlenecks inside of the product.

First for any scaled deploy we recommended NFS. We were young and dumb and it was too slow. (We’ve all been there)

Then we went to an RPC model with gitaly and even unwrapped some of the git calls inside of that to speed it up.

Just a few months ago we had a large customer with thousands of devs and a large monorepo ground their deployments to a halt because of a cloning strategy change that introduced an accidental 10x in git calls. Git itself was the bottleneck because it’s not designed for this scale and speed.

For enterprises where thousands of developers are contributing code via git to a centralized system of record, who are firing off 1000s of CI jobs Git is absolutely a bottleneck.

Now with LLM technologies we should easily expect a 5-20x code volume increase on the conservative side. Git is being stretched to its perf limits.

aphyr may have some NSFW photos on the site IIRC which may have got the domain swept up with the new UK laws.

Do you own property? Does it flood? Do you live in a place where a rapidly forming storm may cause flooding?

I was weather-status neutral until I bought a house that has flooding challenges. Knowing that enough rain that could trigger flooding helps me avoid surprise cleanups and property damage.

Feels like v2 of this will be “ducted” in that it lives next to your air handler and comes on when you are circulating air.

(Like a reef tank sterilizer)

the article talked about how the sendgrid accounts are real, and presume compromised.

I suspect that once the sendgrid account is compromised, they then send out these phishing emails, hoping to compromise _other_ sendgrid accounts to look for password overlap and/or keep the flow going.

How do you envision this working without the "opposing party" poisoning the vote to get a weaker opponent?

100% right. I buy lots of Japanese cookbooks secondhand. I found an Okinawa cook book for $8. When I received it, it was clear the author was just a content farmer pumping out various recipe books with copied online recipes. Once I looked up their name I saw hundreds of books across cooking baking etc. there was no way they even tried all of the recipes.

So yes, review and “narrative voice” will be more valuable than ever.
