interesting that this also affects EU/Germany.

Signal not working now, Medium offline now, just some examples of what happens, when there is an AWS outage.
https://mastodon.chrispelli.fun/@hnbot/115405357635394835

UPDATE 12:00 CEST: AWS US EAST 1 and Signal are back to normal.

#Signal has intermittent connection problems on the client side and it seems that is related to #AWS US EAST 1 problems. See https://health.aws.amazon.com/health/status

"Oct 20 12:51 AM PDT We can confirm increased error rates and latencies for multiple AWS Services in the US-EAST-1 Region. [...] We will provide an update in 45 minutes, or sooner if we have additional information to share."

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. https://signal.org/blog/pdfs/germany-chat-control.pdf

The recommended pawn move would lose it to the knight, no? What am I missing? #chess

New SpaceX report on Starlink conjunctions and deorbits (a.k.a. dumping tons of metal/plastic/solar panels/computers into the upper atmosphere) https://www.scribd.com/document/883045105/SpaceX-Gen1-Gen2-Semi-Annual-Report-7-1-25

Scariest part:
472 Starlinks were burned up in the atmosphere in Dec-May. Assuming each satellite is 800kg, and 50% aluminum by mass, that's 1 ton of aluminum PER DAY.

The natural infall rate of aluminum from meteoroids is 0.3 tons per day. Starlink has been ~3x that, for the last 6 months.

@pikarl crossover! Crossover! Crossover! (Mit dem Mathe Podcast, bitte! ) :)

You know back in my day, we had static analysis tooling that would give you exactly this kind of feedback, except it was correct. Now we have shit which only looks at the vibes of the source text and does no semantic analysis whatsoever, so of course it's just fucking wrong

There is a GH issue on this: https://github.com/holoviz/holoviews/issues/2591 but IMHO it’s a mistake to keep waiting in bokeh to fix this. This should have been wrapped years ago by holoviews so that the user is happy that things “just work” (TM).

Sad that #holoviews STILL doesn’t wrap empty histogram bins for a log display by default like it is done in @matplotlib for ages: df.plot.hist(log=True) works but df.hvplot(logy=True) crashes with zeros not allowed (due to empty bins). And I really don’t care that the error is mathematically correct, it’s simply passing reality to insist not fixing this, and I’m convinced things like this are preventing a larger uptake of #hvplot and #holoviews.

BANFF!
what a spectacular fuckin place...

Ok everyone the nazis have arrived here in the Fediverse. Reports are being filed against anybody who is posting creative ideas with regard to the current administration. The way to combat this is if you are an admin or moderator and this is occurring we all need to know who is filing these reports. The enemy is here and among us and the only way to stop them is to expose them.

The hell, @Apple who ordered thinner phones? I’m pretty sure folks had been ordering longer battery life phones for some time now?
