It's a bit weird, they add pricing for this, but reducwle GitHub-hosted runners by "up to 39%".

Not sure about the "up to" implications, but I guess it's just Microsoft trying to make github a bit more freemium tm

I don't get how this works in practice. I am not wealthy, I don't even own an house. But I have a decent salary and buy some stocks occasionally.

Most of my stocks are kinda volatile, so by paying taxes on unrealized gain I am taking much higher risk for owning them every year I don't sell. I would literally be paying taxes on money I don't own yet and could easily lose at the first mayor market upset.

anthonj commented on High-resolution efficient image generation from WiFi Mapping   arxiv.org/abs/2506.10605... · Posted by u/oldfuture

I'm highly skeptical about this paper just because the resulting images are in color. How the hell would the model even infer that from the input data?
anthonj · 3 months ago
It is an overfitted model thst use WiFi data as hints for generation:

"We consider a WiFi sensing system designed to monitor indoor environments by capturing human activity through wireless signals. The system consists of a WiFi access point, a WiFi terminal, and an RGB camera that is available only during the training phase. This setup enables the collection of paired channel state information (CSI) and image data, which are used to train an image generation model"

It says, that only my "friends" can know my IP. But it's still insecure. Tox makes it better, IP addresses aren't exposed, users are identified by their public keys only.
anthonj · 3 months ago
I think you might be misunderstanding. Tox is p2p end-to-end encrypted, you still expose your ip when you connect to the p2p network. This is inevitable but nobody will know you message:

This project uses the retroshare protocol. It's also p2p by the only nodes you can connect to are from a "white list". So you expose your ip only to people you know.

Isn't skin cancer 100% survivable if caught on time*, with the removal procedure begin a single 1-2 hour specialist visit?

Where "on time" means during the trivial yearly screening that everyone should be getting.

I was speaking at a conference recently and was asked to chair the session at the last minute. It was hybrid, so all the speakers needed to share their slides on Zoom. I have been daily driving Linux for 14 years, and this has almost never been a problem (there was a moment with i3 but it seems better). But I hadn't bothered to test this since installing (and generally loving!) PopOS COSMIC.

The problem, at root, is Wayland. Zoom has some kind of workaround it seems, but it's not working yet in COSMIC.

The result was sad: speakers having to speak with their slides being run by one of the remote speakers, and anyone who recognized the computer running Zoom as Linux surely strengthened their conviction never to try that.

I don't want to post the typical "work on my machine" comment, but I regularly see screen sharing failing on almost any platform.

In many in-person conferences in my field they started to request a copy of the pdf file before the talk, that will be projected and shared using a dedicated computer.

"Google" posted a job opening. They applied for and took the job, agreeing to posted pay and conditions. End of the story. It's not up to the Guardian to decide

Not so easy. What if you get hired as a physiotherapist somewhere but on your first day you find out you will work in a brothel?

Or join an hospital as nurse, but then you are asked to perform surgery as you were a doctor?

There are serious issues outlined in the article.
