Should Waymo Robotaxis Always Stop For Pedestrians In Crosswalks?
“My feet are already in the crosswalk,” says Geoffrey A. Fowler, a San Francisco-based tech columnist for the Washington Post. In a video he takes one step from the curb, then stops to see if Waymo robotaxis will stop for him. And they often didn’t.

Waymo’s position? Their cars consider “signals of pedestrian intent” including forward motion wh … ⌘ Read more

Ontem pusemos a tocar uma música do Pavarotti, e agora a miúda (quase 2anos) anda a pedir a “canção do paparoti” e está a ser difícil lidar :i_cant:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de woah it’s like a cheatsheet with explanations! java is kind of arcane magic sorcery to me so i’m having trouble understanding it but i have that with most programming languages. this is like so much easier to actually look at and read instead of my eyes glazing over lol

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Sorry I missed your messages to #twtxt on IRC. There are people there, but it can take several hours to get a response. E.g. I check it every day or two. I recommend using an IRC bouncer. To answer your question about registries, I used a couple of registries when I first started out, to try to find feeds to follow, but haven’t since then. I don’t remember which ones, but they were easy to find with web searches.

@prologic@twtxt.net YEAH it’s so cool!!! i was thinking about trying it as sorta practice for golang lol

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’ve actually moved most of my stuff of of Cloudflare now 🤣 I’m actually very happy with my edge proxy setup that reverse proxies, caches and acts as a web application firewall 🥳

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Have you seen the SSG that I built and use on all my static sites? zs 🤔

Oh gawd. I can’t enable caching on my edge proxy everywhere 😱 Some shit™ doesn’t deal with a caching reverse proxy in front of it very well for some reason I don’t have time to dig into right now 🤔

the windows CSS frameworks are sooo epic like you mean i can click a win aero button in my browser?!?! WITCHCRAFT!

morning yarn friends i’ve been playing with astro the SSG and it’s a blast i see why my friends love it and rec it to everyone. i may think javascript was a mistake but this is super cool

@prologic@twtxt.net that’s iconic af though like i should do the same bc i hate cloudflare that much i just refuse to use them

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh nah it came out like that lol! i actually love how squished it looks it feels accurate lol

oh yeah i think i might have a tripod around but i do need a sandbag or something i could use as one. maybe yeah a giant bag of rice could work LOL. thanks for the tips!!! i took a video class last year in college and we worked with cameras and tripods with sandbags so it was on my mind

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org yeah! as long as it’s fun :D experimenting with it like picking up the camera every once in a while to point somewhere else, or in editing inserting more video in between the static angles, that could be fun!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de this is why people like me can’t code this is boring eyes glazing over kinda stuff lol

What’s a reasonable per second or per minute rate limit that I could apply in general at my edge proxy for all clients? (no matter what) … LIke a good reasonable upper bound? 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I swear to god the engineers that write this shit™ don’t know how to write distributed cralwers that don’t happy the shit™ out of their targets 🤦‍♂️

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No. I generally don’t put up any robots.txt files at all really, because they mostly get ignored. I don’t generally mind if “normal” web crawlers crawl things. But LLM(s) can go fuck themselves 🤣

Did you have disallow rule in robots.txt? (I think not because can google several twtxt.net posts)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah it’s starting to piss me off too 🤣 Not nearly as much as that guy, but stil. Anyway I’m having fun! Now I just need to find a good IP/Subnet list that I can blacklist entirely, ideally one that’s updated frequently so I can refresh firewall rules.

Bloody fucking hell. I think one of Google’s GenAI crawlers was just hitting my Gitea instance quite hard. Fuck 🤬 Geez

I just banned 41 bad user agents from accessing any of my services. 😱

@movq@www.uninformativ.de How do you manage to get those skulines on your photos? 🤔

@eapl.me@eapl.me That’s a nice quote. I like it.

@prologic@twtxt.net Nah, it’s really not necessary from my point of view. There’s not enough math here that would justify it. In the spirit of simplicity, I’d leave it off. O:-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de The rabbit hole deepens. :-D

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Static angles for too long get indeed a bit boring to watch in my opinion, but just experiment with it. What’s the worst that could happen? Wasted disk space or people increase playback speed to time lapse or fast-forward. Hence, not a huge issue. Even if only you had fun recording it and learned something along the way, it’s already a win. Everything else is a bonus on top.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yiha! I reckon the video is a bit squished together on the horizontal axis. Maybe your video site messed something up in postprocessing? No idea. Anyway, you’re already better at guitar than I ever was.

If you don’t wanna buy a tripod, you could make yourself a makeshift one with some sort of a sandbag, cherry pit pillow or an old, cut off and sewn shut trouser leg section filled with rice, lentils, etc. This gives you a shapeable surface where you can simply rest the camcorder on. It allows for some limited vertical up and down pitch. Obviously, that won’t work for extreme angles, but might be just enough for your application of recording at your desk. You just have to watch out for the side to side roll, this could otherwise lead to a slanted sailboat video. ;-)

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt No, it’s only designed for yarnd. What did you have in mind here? 🤔

Yes, ik. But i can’t use this api without yarn.social (feed is just file)

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt It is the same API that yarnc the command-line client uses.

Want this API for Goryon or just Goryon with support to just twtxt.txt. I can’t read timeline without visible replies and missing twts

dagum those are huge images.

i.e: Not much point in running a WAF on a static site. But OTOH if there’s enough abuse from shitty assholes, there might be 🤔🤔

I’m just basically learning now how ModSecurity rules work and how to write my own.

The builtin OWASP rules are already working nicely 👌 – And yeah I won’t include the WAF on every site block, probably just my main/primary domain where I tend to run demo services and other things.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz If you’ve been following my yarns the other day about me getting off of Clownflare and building my own WAF, Proxy and effectively my own Edge network, you’ll know I’m doing this at the very edge 🤣🤣

On my blog: Toots 🦣 from 12/30 to 01/03 https://john.colagioia.net/blog/2025/01/03/week.html #linkdump #socialmedia #quotes #week

i recorded my first camcorder video!!!! it’s just me practicing guitar after sooo long of not playing it. my acoustic, to be specific (well, it’s an electric acoustic thing but i can play it without plugging it in lol, i do have a stratocaster though). it’s capped at ~30 minutes because i used one mini DVD for it and decided i wasn’t gonna use another one to extend the run time. so yeah. it was super fun! i hope i can share it soon, i’m ripping the disc with make MKV right now, then i’ll re-encode to a web friendly format, and upload to my site and hope that works well

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org it’d be a blast to record too with my camcorder! i’d have to figure out positioning and stuff like you said but i could probably figure something out with a bit of testing :P yeah it probably does make the project itself longer than it should be but i feel like if you make it a cozy kinda “sew with me” video where people watch you sew and film it with a static angle instead of like, showing every step? i think that’d be nice even if a bit boring. so i could absolutely try that.

magnetic tape camcorders omg!!! mine is digital but i’d LOVE to get a tape camcorder

My #fridayreads is CBA vol 58, the “C’est Bon Anthology” entitled “Modern Glossolalia or the Erosion of Meaning”.

How do we talk when words that used to mean certain things have become so vague that they can be freely appropriated by anyone, for any purpose? And what’s up with the currently so prevalent flirting with war, fascism and the dehumanization of anyone who doesn’t fit into the unspoken and conveniently unspecified national identity?

Released in 2022, it feels even more up-to-date today.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I’m an absolute sucker for all sorts of crafts videos, mostly wood and metal working, but also leather and construction. So obviously, your Tux sewing project would make a good video in my opinion. :-D (But I fear it would require way more work than just talking into the camera. Think of camera setup time with framing and focusing, repositioning a couple of times, editing, yada, yada, yada. I documented wood working build processes in my shop in the past and it made the projects take easily ten times as long, if not more. So, I stopped doing that.)

As kids we recorded some action films on magnetic tape camcorders. That was also great fun.

Couldn’t find anybody to join me this arvo, so I went alone. Only in the forest I began to see real snow. And then of course with each meter of elevation gain. I reckon there were 5-6 cm at the summit, so there is still room for improvement. The weather was absolutely stunning, a sunny blue sky alternating with clouds, most of my hike hardly any wind and 1°C. Climbing the mountain was a different story, the wind hit me hard.

I just love the wind-brushed formations of ice on the twigs and branches. They look soooo incredibly cool. It was kinda hard to capture them on film with the wind pushing everything around.

On the way down I took the narrow and currently fairly slippery path that was closed for some weeks due to felling activity. It looks so different with heaps of trees on the ground now. They’ve also sawn down the tree with the small hole near the ground (which I think I’ve shown a few times in the past). The beech in 52 to 54 was probably hit by lightning a few months ago. At least it’s completely charred.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz @movq@www.uninformativ.de Right!? :-) (In retrospect, must be later than elementary school, but still at least a decade old.)

Haaa! It was only now that I realized that gentoo is indeed a penguin species, I never knew that. Nice! I was always under the impression that the Gentoo distribution was simply named after an invented word. Well, I was so wrong. Thanks for teaching me. :-)

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I never used DOS or OS/2, but I fully agree with you. A Unix shell with its tool landscape is hard to beat (photo/video viewing/editing aside).

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s so damn cool mate! I went through the code, but this lowlevel stuff is really not my favorite cup of tea. Having said that, it was actually really nice to see the abstractions and APIs work together and how things are getting indeed very readable in the userland programs. That’s easy to track in this extremely tiny OS implementation. Excellent work, keep on hacking!

Now, you just have to quickly add a network stack and then can write a twtxt client for it! ]:->

@movq@www.uninformativ.de That’s neat, good old $\sum_{i=1}^{9} i^3$ (let’s see if yarnd’s markdown parser has LaTeX support or not ;-)).

@prologic@twtxt.net oh it’s ok! thank you for the explanation! i think for me when it comes to programming i learn best by doing, so like written examples or talking about it helps less, BUT baseline explanations like what a pointer is does help! i was so confused and i still need to fix the error i’m having but i will figure it out!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org AWWWW OMG THAT’S SO CUTE

@movq@www.uninformativ.de REALLLL

@bender@twtxt.net It’s true! 🤣 It’s a total garbage nonsense title. But the actual research paper that the video references is real. Apple did in fact do a bunch of research and proved what we already know 🤣 – That is, AI is stupid 🤣

But to be fair, we already knew this… I’ve observed it first hand, we knew it at the beginning. I’ll just leave you with this:

Rode my bicycle into town. What the hell is wrong with some of these motorists!? Here in right lane traffic land, a car reversed out of the driveway on the left into the road and nearly hit me. And this happened twice! If you don’t fucking see, how about you go slowly and not just hope that nobody is coming!? The first one even decided to honk at me. SUV drivers confirming prejudice…

Well, at least I could help a lady with transfering her child in a pram.
