I noticed that icon in the play store the other day. I assumed it was a scam/copycat app trying to be distinct enough to avoid a takedown or something.

“software developer says ai will not replace software developers” feels very John Henry

I’m on a private instance. My lemmy volume as a whole is currently 72G.

5 is probably a bit undersized and liable to cause pool timeouts. But like 15 should give you enough room depending on your provider’s affordability. You can always delete old data periodically.

It’s very good and learning progress for the 20s too. In the last 5 years for lunar lander missions we’ve had 6 outright failures, 2 successes, and this is the second “mixed success”

When nobody in your country does something for decades and then a different group of people try doing it in different ways, they’re largely starting from scratch.

Allocating a job to a driver is the easy part. It’s all the other stuff people expect from a delivery app that’s the hard part. Like having an accurate DB of stores and facilitating orders/payments. If you don’t do that then people can troll with fake orders and stiff drivers. Plus moderation of drivers who steal food or are convicted burglars/rapists (existing apps already suck at that).

But a federated approach would be immensely more complicated to do well and is a privacy nightmare. You’d need to share buyer’s address and drivers’ current locations to many different instances to facilitate a buyer on one instance and potential drivers on several different instances. All that data needs to be available (and accurate to the minute) to the instance that assigns the job. Similar privacy/logistic issues pop up when you consider payments.

It’s not like he’s delivering to the whole city. For the map in the picture, worst case (corner to corner) is like 1.5 miles.

It kinda makes more sense like this.

Article says “cryptocurrency accounts” not wallets which makes more sense

To defeat Sable, Cloudflare offered $100,000 “to be split among winners that submitted strong prior art.”

Important bit missing. Summary and headline had me imagining something much more dystopia.

Doesn’t apply here, Lemmy is way too tiny. The law only applies the largest platforms. Reddit doesn’t even qualify. Of course maybe that changes someday, but currently the law applies to 19 sites.

There’s a lot of UFOs if you’re bad at birding.

The only way to stop a bad guy with a camera is a good guy with a camera?

Missing piece in the numbers here is how many people were uninstalling adguard to switch to uBlock? Using one extension’s install stats to make conclusions about all adblocking extensions seems a bit much.

It’s for the “Fusion Drive.” It was just used as a cache basically. You had a larger, slower drive behind it for capacity, this just held frequently accessed data.

a technique called denial-of-service, or DDoS, attacks

That’s like the exact opposite of “atm machine”
