It’s rare to read an article about a place where I have firsthand experience, but this is one such case. I’ve visited Yosemite National Park three times in the past two weeks, all on weekdays, and it’s remarkably empty! Even Yosemite Valley is quiet, with plenty of parking and no lines anywhere. I bring my own food, and if you’re expecting gourmet dining, a national park may not be the best spot for that. This low-quality, New York Times-style article (blaming Trump) makes me question my subscription to The Free Press for the first time.
My recent negative experience with AAA IT got me thinking. The decrepit IT systems common in government and large businesses, combined with AI, could spell trouble in the short to medium term.
@AAAnews@AAASafety very disappointed.
We waited 2.5 hours for roadside help in a Walmart lot in Kansas. The driver was given a years-old defunct number instead of the mobile we called from—so he couldn’t find us and left. No ETA updates, no texts, no callback checks. This is not what we expect from AAA.
I lived through the fall of the USSR from the inside. The media lied 24/7 for three generations, and people learned to adapt. The smart, cynical ones joined the Party, ready to profess Marxism-Leninism on demand to get ahead in life. Meanwhile, the “plebs” numbed themselves with alcohol, trying to escape harsh realities. A few brave souls who spoke out publicly were silenced—thrown into prisons or psychiatric wards. The dogma was unshakable.
By the mid-1980s, there were signs the system was under immense stress, yet almost no one believed change was possible. The system seemed eternal—FOREVER. Then, almost overnight, it crumbled.
Having lived blissfully in the US for many decades, I’ve watched the country change in ways that feel eerily familiar, with striking parallels to what I witnessed in the USSR. People’s reactions to these changes are disturbingly similar.
It’s not going to be a smooth ride, but today, there is at least hope!
@charlesmurray To be fair could be a recording manipulation or just a poor audio track. Instead “All will die, but mother Russia will never forget us…”, it may be “IF all will die…”. Hard to say due to a small gap in the audio… So it’s not obvious that they are positively told all will die.
@charlesmurray The impromptu motivational speech sounds authentic. English translation is correct. For a Russian ear nothing to be ashamed of, no reason to disallow filming. Sounds crazy? It is. Not all Russians like that. Many emigrated and a sizable minority who couldn’t suffer silently :(
WireEdit 3.13.270 is out.
https://t.co/j5aR6HCR9b
Check new HTTP/3 support. Example pcap from #Wireshark GitLab page:
https://t.co/DbpbhhUqx4
Open it with #Wireshark and take a look at say frame 24. Now open the same file with #WireEdit.
Hint: #WireEdit is better ;)
#Wireshark support for HTTP/3 is surprisingly weak today. So if you’re working with HTTP/3, you might want try the upcoming (soon) release of WireEdit.
@otsuka0752 Will email the link later today. WireReplay has all core WireEdit capabilities and a diagram language in top. Instead of editing pcap to feed statically to SUT, you modify the packets on the fly, send them to the SUT via live network, and analyze the replies. Better than Skype ;)
