The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

My wife worked extensively with Michelin-starred chefs in the Bay Area for a decade. I've been lucky enough to get to know some of them and their mentality.

The best of the best are always trying to be, well, better. Food is only one of the aspects that they think about- they also want you to feel welcome and respected. As the article mentions, some chefs have kept notebooks of guest preferences in the past. If they can use someone's Instagram account to get a sense of who they are before they come in, they can make sure that the waitstaff are treating them in a manner they would like. For example, if someone seems like they are introverted, then maybe they back off on the social interactions with them. If they seem to be someone more extroverted, then they get more attention.

Chefs want anyone that comes in to feel like they are special. This is just a new innovation in that direction, and it's not something that you're going to find happening at Chili's anytime soon.

Submission + - Could gravity be evidence that the universe is a computer simulation? (theconversation.com)

loserhead writes: The Conversation published an article giving further evidence that none of us exist.

FTA: "Suppose the law of gravity is simply an echo of something more fundamental: a byproduct of the universe operating under a computer-like code...

It is a notion that seems like science fiction â" but one that is based in physics and evidence that the universe appears to be operating suspiciously like a computer simulation.

In digital technologies, right down to the apps in your phone and the world of cyberspace, efficiency is the key. Computers compact and restructure their data all the time to save memory and computer power. Maybe the same is taking place all over the universe?"

The best numbers for streaming minutes would come from the "heartbeat" events that a device sends back to the service to tell them where the user is in the video, so they won't loose their place if the app crashes. (Some apps are good at just sending an API call when the crash happens)

Source: Worked for Nielsen as well as some mid-size streamers and handled analytic data capture.

Journal Journal: It is 2025 and Slashdot doesn't support IPv6?

I've been migrating all my stuff to IPv6 because I'm retarded and felt like (another) winter project.

So I have a Debian VM that is IPv6-only for testing things out, general browsing, etc. and see that Slashdot doesn't support IPv6? One would think a tech site would have been onboard with this years ago.

My guess is they knew they needed to seed this to developers, but they knew there would be a black market where the public would want it. So they set the price high enough to cover initial costs, let the public get their hands on it, but then create time for the devs to come up with killer apps. I think the lack of a marketing and advertising presence shows Apple isnâ(TM)t pushing Vision as hard as they could.

Iâ(TM)m sure we are going to see cheaper and refined versions of Vision in the coming years, and those are the ones they have the potential to take off.
