  Fun little discovery / future research. When riding with @alexhelvetica@cloudisland.nz today, our activities both showed that we had max speed of more than 90km/hr. We both use speed sensors, not GPS. Both activities recorded the speed glitch at the same location. I told @DropTableFoxes@social.stackunderflow.com about it and they mentioned their e-bike freaks out at a certain intersection around there from time to time. I went through all my activities searching for max speed irregularities and...

  so every hour SondeHub is seeing a blip of requests spike. Nothing we can't handle. They look like normal browsers - though a splattering of user agents listed. I say normal because they load the requests very close to a normal page load would. All from the same network block. They then query for radiosonde serial numbers we have never seen. What is going on here. Whatever this person / agent is trying to do could be done in such a simpler way that costs us less money.

  Any speed camera that gets over 1 million in fines issued should dedicate the money towards redesigning the infrastructure to prevent/reduce speeding. Clearly fining people isn't working and the risk should be engineered away.

  The digital detox for students highlights the harm online services can do. But rather than removing the harm from those services we are just going to remove some of the users during some hours during some days. Problem solved once and for all.

  A lot of people pretending like trillions of dollars lost on the stock market is normal and won't have any sort of real world impact. Sure sometimes it bounces back, sometimes it doesn't though.

  not sure where my old thread was so starting a new one. I skipped out on the winter commuter cup season, but they started try outs for the summer series this morning. Managed to get on my bike and get a time in. They've placed me provisionally in group E which is one back from where I was last year, but that's fair. Group E training day happened to also be today so had to put in a few more km in the evening. Looking forward to more early mornings and evening rides and the commuter cu...

  uh, getting so frustrated with sondehub stuff. Been trying to build out some new API end points to make searching for old radiosondes quicker and easier however been just hit with so many little support things or trying to figure out the next thing thats burning dollars, triggering errors or causing high usage. Today's latest is an oracle IP address that is hitting our API with URL parameters that don't make any sense. No big deal but it's racked up 3 million requests in like a day....

  Financial review is running front page cash rate target graph with labor and liberal government periods highlighted. But the plot is also annotated with the big swings in cash rate as: - Lehman Brothers collapse - Covid - Russian invasion of Ukraine - White house launches missiles... I guess most people influenced by the chart aren't reading the labels anyway.

  > Victorian farmers blindsided by wind farm approval on eve of election caretaker period >Mr Nelson said he and other neighbours had been unaware of the project until it was well advanced. According to Facebook posts Mr Nelson has known since at least May 2025. It's ok, I'm sure Mr Nelson is reasonable and ABC wouldn't be platforming someone with delusions. Let's check Facebook > After the Waubra wind farms was built there were many issues, many families had to leav...

  it's not really viable to reuse radiosondes because the cost of recovery is too high... unless it lands next door to the launch facility.

  I feel sentiment to LLMs is becoming more negative due to people due to: - not being able to find trust worthy data - burn out from additional slop work - starting to see closer to real billing of tokens - increase in friction when trying to contact a person to resolve a problem - (if in open source software dev) increase in security work or additional server load - higher rework rates - (those in positions that can monitor output) lack of real improvement in production or sales A lot of thi...

  RE: https://eigenmagic.net/@daedalus/117543196091171705 If you have a team of people specializing in the development of software they can learn from the mistakes. They learn and become knowledgeable in this domain. No amount of markdown and unit tests will "teach" an LLM. It won't be long before the same class and style of bugs are introduced again. I hope y'all aren't holding out for the next models being significantly better.

  A couple of weeks ago someone published a balloon chasing app that uses our backend on the Apple App store and put our email and our site as the support contact, website and privacy policy. The app also directs users to our support email. So we are now getting spam for an app we didn't produce on our website and infra support email. Does anyone know how to get Apple to take this down?
