Pulled out good ol' wireshark. It's the server that's erroring on the TLS handshake.

Glad you played around with it and that our tech worked.

Thanks, yeah I misread the GUI. This is awesome!

--I was able to jailbreak it--

Nevermind That was the ungoverned version of gemini, their models worked.

It was able the resist a different known jailbreak for gemini though

I may have the opportunity to use a much higher framerate camera in the future. Please leave suggestions for things that are fairly transparent to x-rays (no metal, or very thin small internal parts), and demonstrates the utility of high speed capture (typically things breaking, bouncing, shattering). The last requirement is that the object be very small, just 1 to 2 cm long. Since learning about ptycography, I may try that as well since x-ray ptycography is one of the real world uses for these sensors.

Here's an interesting one, if the equipment is sensitive enough you could test if you can see the difference in air densities as a .22 caliber bullet passes by.

I've got nothing for this but I am morbidly curious.

We should have a wealth tax that is distributed to everyone, instead of taxing consumption. It's the most progressive tax possible, only taxing those with actual excess. It would work in an AI world, easing into everyone having the same amount of power instead of creating AI powered Oligarchs.

Taking a networking class, I'm still amazed that CS programs don't require it at this point.

Dollars to donuts, you cannot have a high velocity distributed system with dozens of developers without comprehensive docs and long term plans. This article is straight up bad.
Python3267 commented on Can Software Be Durable?    · Posted by u/maraoz
Python3267 · 5 months ago
This is a principle that can be applied outside of this question, but is applicable here. Many non-engineers view software as an asset, *it is not*. Every line of code is a liability, so minimizing the size of a codebase and limiting the complexity of distributed systems (If posible avoid DS's) is key for good reliable software.

If the code needs to be fast (written in a systems language like C, C++, or Rust) write it in Rust. It will limit the amount your can shoot your foot both at the compilation stage and while writing the code (You have to think about what you're doing to avoid the compiler yelling at you. Otherwise, for the love of god write your project in a simple garbage collected language. Not having to handle memory directly removes a lot of what can go wrong.
