Wonder if anyone has tried these over flourishing AI code assist tools to supercharge the speed these porting projects? If so, what's the experience has been?


OP said they tried cursor and didn't experience a speedup over their vi macros.


Re: License for https://github.com/doublehq/oracle

The README.md says it's MIT licensed on the very last line (https://github.com/doublehq/oracle/blob/b69ef4c940217a2fbf52...).

However, LICENCE file (not LICENSE.md file, which doesn't exist, https://github.com/doublehq/oracle/blob/b69ef4c940217a2fbf52...) says it's GPL 3.0 license.

Which one is it?


Seems to be a failure to update the README, since https://github.com/doublehq/oracle/commit/7923eee62bccb565c8... was an explicit change away from MIT to GPLv3

That also tracks why the README would be pointing to a 404 file, since the other commit that touched that file was to change its name, and also not update the README


SMS based OTP has been known to be unreliable way to authenticate someone because exactly this type of social engineering hacks.

All software providers and the industry should ban SMS based OTPs as a standard practice. Either leapfrogging to a Passkey implementation or just time based OTPs.


What software provider or industry group is in a position to enact a ban on an MFA strategy?


Maybe organizations in charge of cybersecurity compliance frameworks? We'd see a lot of companies drop SMS 2FA pretty quickly if it became a requirement to maintain their SOC compliance.

I don't think we need a complete sweeping ban to get it to largely fall out of use, just a critical mass to drop it so it's no longer defensible as an industry standard


the US government.


after years with no issues, my bank stopped supporting my google voice number and said I have to use regular SMS as it's more secure


Toyota and Japanese auto manufacturers in general (except Nissan, which is crossed owned by French automaker Renault S.A.) are legging behind in EV development either because they chose the Hydrogen fuel cell route when investing R&D money in the past few decades, probably 10s of billions USD by now. It was a catastrophic strategic mistake. Because of heavy bet on non-EV and the decades of R&D on a dead-end on fuel cell technologies, they have always been wishy-washy about EV investments and productions. The further they delayed their investment in EV technology, the more they are lagging behind in battery tech and EV drivetrain and infotainment systems, as evidently as bZ4X etc.

But the report accurately pointed out the main reason for sales decline is due to the fierce competition in Chinese market where Chinese domestic EV brands are rising rapidly - just as how it was developed for the smartphone in the early 2010s. The iteration speed of product development and governmental support in EV transportation shift drives the huge recent sales success in Chinese EV brands like BYD.


Hydrogen is not a dead end. It might be impractical for most of the car market for a variety of reasons, but is showing a lot of promise and looking like the only real contender for commercial vehicles, aviation and shipping. All places where there either isn't the volume or the capacity to carry the weight of batteries required for the range needed, by orders of magnitude, so it's unfeasible that battery tech breakthroughs would make a meaningful difference.

" It was a catastrophic strategic mistake. Because of heavy bet on non-EV and the decades of R&D on a dead-end on fuel cell technologies"

I don't think the race is over now and I would not call it a dead end. Just out of my head, at least Mercedes still invests heavily in fuel cells for trucks: https://www.hydrogeninsight.com/transport/-record-run-daimle...

Also Bosch: https://www.bosch-mobility.com/en/mobility-topics/fuel-cell-...

I think the rumors of the death of the fuel cell are highly exaggerated.


Toyota is moving its hydrogen investments over to commercial heavy trucks as well.


REI stands for Recreational Equipment, Inc. (https://www.rei.com/) Unless that was a rhetorical question.


Yep. There is banner in the repo reads:

   This repository has been archived by the owner on Sep 29, 2020. It is now read-only.


Has anyone implemented Conduit with other backend services via the Matrix API?

https://spec.matrix.org/latest/

Any reason why it's not a good idea to integration the API with server side (aka E2E or distributed drawbacks?)


After this, New Jersey (NJ) is the only state in the USA that still have laws to prohibit self pumping gasoline/diesel.


Is this a Xerox specific issue or industry wide problem? The author suspected that this is not an OCR issue What about out scanners? HP, Epson, Cannon, Ricoh, etc?


This sounds like there should be a massive class action lawsuit against Toyota.
