Cyber operators I agree would tell you that physical airgaps are necessary, and I know they are being used for running agents. But ML engineers training agents? That is far more complicated. At that point sensibly you…
“ What will happen to democracy in a world where 100% of the population are 27/7 consumers?” …we’ll add three hours to our day? Bu seriously, I support what you are saying. This is why the entire consumer system needs…
> "Smart Local Control" home devices work as expected until the electronics fail Recently one of my Zigbee-controlled thermostats started pumping cold air constantly. To fix it, all I had to do was open and examine the…
You don’t need an LLM for this. Use `kubectl` to create a simple pod/service/deployment/ingress/etc, run `kubectl get -o yaml > foo.yaml` to bring it back to your machine in yaml format, then edit the `foo.yaml` file in…
Anaconda was a good idea until it would break apt on Ubuntu and make my job that much harder. That became the reason _not_ to use Anaconda in my book. venv made these problems start to disappear, and now uv and Nix have…
Alphabet will definitely try to do that (within their business interest and all that), but I still choose to believe in the precept that “the net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it”, as old and…
I love the idea of this flake to run Ollama even on Windows, but just pointing people to your _everything_ flake is going to confuse people and make it look harder than it is to run Ollama on Nix. If you are using a…
Assume around $3/hr per H100 (pretty generous pricing for GCP), that is $2250/month-gpu, or for their fleet of 8000 comes to $18MM/month or around $216MM/year in just compute costs alone, not looking at SSD, bucket…
I disagree… the article talks about defining the meter using the pendulum and the second. Other planets would have their own definition of second, but not their own definition of pendulum. Since one meter is prescribed…
I can talk to the opposite side about why I am very happy going all in with NixOS. Prior to that I was running dual-boot Windows (for games) and Ubuntu (for coding). Despite all of the progress made on gaming on Linux,…
By the looks of it, the announcement webpage also breaks Tridactyl unnecessarily, so I doubt they are interested in supporting *vim... Joking aside, I would be shocked if someone doesn't quickly write a plugin for at…
One of the more interesting perspectives I gained about Lord Byron was when I learned of his support of the Luddites from reading the book Blood in the Machine[0], which I am surprised the posted article never mentioned…
Fun fact: if seems that if you use Lockdown mode on Apple devices you can't open PDFs from a browser (no official documentation says it but there is anecdotal evidence). This would allow people with Lockdown mode to…
You are looking for the price like I was, and many pages are trying to snare you onto “speak to a specialist” links. Let me spare you the trouble, as you are looking for this page:…
I will take a stab at this... it is about object localization via sound instead of sight, using very little power. For comparison, let's say you have a sound sensing setup on a Raspberry Pi, known for its low power…
I think there’s a typing option: just click on the keyboard icon when entering a conversation?
I French press my grounds at home too, but I bring water to 200F (93C) instead of boiling, as I was taught in my barista days that boiling water makes the coffee too bitter. Are you supposed to use boiling water for…
Haskell coders have to do this often enough that there is a token that does this grouping… f $ g x = f (g x), so the expression `a b c` is still a source for ambiguity.
ML workloads definitely cost a lot of money. Even for a preemptible VM, A100 GPUs cost $0.88/hr/GPU. That's $624 a month for a single GPU and only the 40GB model. Want a dedicated 8 GPU machine in the cloud to do…
It is also possible to trisect an angle using paper folding too: https://plus.maths.org/content/trisecting-angle-origami Paper folding is incredibly powerful.
But it’s probably not ASCII but rather scancodes, which definitely use the MSB for special keys such as function keys, scroll lock, caps lock, and other chorded combinations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scancode
I would say definitely look at the “Gilded Age” of banking in the US. History may not repeat but it sure rhymes. https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/banking-panics-...
Thank you for posting this. I know that is expressed most succinctly with an upvote, but I wanted to reiterate, because you were able to express something I wasn’t able to quite put my finger on but have felt for a long…
I work for a Japanese company from the east coast, and I can tell you from personal experience that latency matters and that you can't beat the speed of light. 1 light millisecond is about 186 miles. Communicate with a…
Let me preface with the fact that I loved both games in their different ways. While I understand your critique for the Witness being “plotless”, I found it a bit less depressing than the plot for Talos, which actually…
