New comment by amq in "12% of Upwork users are bots"

amq — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 21:50:09 +0000

Most of the job applications are written by "pre-LLM" scripts which fail at the simplest checks like "start with word if you are not a bot".

As a result, I rarely even read them and just try to look at profiles and have video calls.

Having a reasonably powerful router from 2016, the only thing that would motivate me to upgrade is Wi-Fi 6E (6 GHz).

I'm writing this on a pixel right now and I wish success to pixel, but I would bet that google won't provide 7 years of major android updates. It will be 4-5 years tops, and then they will just notify people about discontinuing it like with pixel pass.

You can easily limit the power to 25W. Most manufacturers typically have a silent mode which does exactly that.

Not sure what you mean by many slow cores, since mobile zen 4 has a better single-core performance than m2 pro.

The latest mobile amd zen 4 has a comparable efficiency* to apple m2 despite not being arm or having hybrid architecture. See 7840U.

* Within up to 15% at 25W.

What is the primary login method? Because I'm using SSO, and it still requires a master password.

amq — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 15:45:31 +0000

What are you using then? Because Bitwarden also requires an additional secret.

amq — Mon, 25 Sep 2023 15:42:42 +0000

I'm still looking for a product that offers a completely passwordless SSO and has a good and simple UI (keeweb, anyone?)

Unfortunately, Bitwarden fails at both.

New comment by amq in "Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Win11 to get people to ditch Chrome"

amq — Wed, 30 Aug 2023 13:30:00 +0000

Instead of focusing on making a browser that people want to use, Microsoft keeps adding bloat and harassing users. It's really sad to see, because I liked the minimalism and speed of the original Edge, and I even used to recommend the Chromium Edge to friends and family as a less intrusive Chrome alternative.

Would be interesting to additionally see JPEG XL.

Can you modify and resend a request in Chrome yet?

How does blocking VPNs prevent this?

The end game is normal credentials with row level security.

New comment by amq in "Master Plan Part 3"

amq — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 06:14:41 +0000

You don't seem to consider a few things:

- Why not build wind where there are natural strong winds and solar where there is naturally a lot of sun?

- Solar is more modular - you can have one panel on a residential house, and you can have thousands of panels in a farm. But you can't have wind turbines in residential areas.

- Costs.

- We don't need a single 100% reliable source (none is), we need a clever combination of sources to achieve 100% together with the lowest total cost per energy unit.

New comment by amq in "Comparing K3s with vanilla Kubernetes"

amq — Mon, 03 Apr 2023 21:44:16 +0000

In my experience, helm is the worst offender. Somehow, every second chart update has a breaking change preventing the update, defaults that don't mind wiping the persistent volume and a discontinued somewhat consistent 'stable' central repo make me seriously regret using helm charts for anything that is not ephemeral.

Surprised no one mentioned this:

    s.SpaceSafetyLabelType.GenericMisinfo -> GenericMisinfo,
    s.SpaceSafetyLabelType.DmcaWithheld -> DmcaWithheld,

Most of the software will be GPT itself.
