Oh I absolutely see the issue. These people are honestly beneath contempt after talking to them and seeing their responses. Regardless, I'd rather tailor my message to people who I fundamentally disagree with, and make a little bit of

I've gotta mention it because everyone seems to have a learned helplessness with this type of thing. I went and spoke at my county commissioners meeting a couple times after the initial flock roll out (voted on with no discussion a cou

I did all of my development for a couple years on my first startup in a VM on my proxmox server, connected through spice. Was extremely nice being able to just go from desktop to laptop to any other machine that I had available and have the

Played around with this one before. Very interesting. Thanks for linking it.

I was talking about the root comment that just said "it's AI because this website said so", not the one about treating it like a heuristic. I agree with that.

You may know this already, but we did lay the fiber already like we were supposed to have. Most of it just never got used until ~20 years later. Because corporations need to milk their profits.

And I'd agree if that's what GP said.

Yeah...what the hell even is that "I like that name, mine now" for something that has been around almost as long as I have.

Explain to me why that matters at all in an ethical sense. Especially given the scraping / pirating that's gone on by all of these companies in the last number of years.

"does that token in that spot increase or decrease the likelihood of solving this long range programming task?" It's not correct or not, it's a gradient based on the reward signal.

Yes, and when you have guys at a FOB that hasn't had a resupply for a while, I'm sure their trt supply will be great. No withdrawal problems at all.

I learned coding on private MMO emulators (lineage 2 primarily). I had my own private server I was building in my spare time, implementing all the needed server features for the client one by one. Packet sniffing to know what any of the mes

And then in 2024, somehow not an issue again. Crazy how that happens.

I'm not saying downvoted, i'm saying flagged. Like almost anything posted related to this surveillance state YC is invested in building.

Yeah, that would have been a smarter way to get my point across.

You need a GPU for the ASR and diarization. I have an unraid box with an old GPU that I threw it on. So it's sitting in my closet and the ongoing cost is practically nil. There was a few dollars in LLM calls on initial ingestion using

I posted this in another thread, and had my comment instantly flagged. Love this site. Worth looking at how these cameras got approved in the first place. My county's ALPR interlocal passed on the consent agenda in December 2024, one b

I watched a few of their talks, and while I'm somewhat impressed by the results, it's not exactly surprising to me that you can get those numbers when you make the trade-offs they're making. Most applications cannot make thos

I've been working on that in Postgres for the past...way too long now: https://commitfest.postgresql.org/patch/6305/ Still not totally declarative, but it at least gets IVM into core in a way people can make

You know what, I agree...original advice stands. I should have known that the data I was storing would eventually grow larger than reasonable, so in this case it would have been smarter to design it properly from the start. Hindsight. But t

Listen to this advice. I had a system that has ~600gb of blob data in bytea that could have easily been an S3 bucket + db reference. It made backups way more of a pain than necessary. It was intentional in the design, because I wanted total

I somehow never see this happening. Like, ever. I just don't think it's something to seriously entertain.

What improvements in GA since 1975? They are very slow to change from what I understand. There are a ton of airframes from that era still flying today. I mean, yeah at the top end things have gotten nicer.

Wouldn't touch it at this point because of the association. With as bad as GitHub has gotten, I can see moving...but not to here.

You have something misconfigured then. Concurrency has never lowered my overall TPS. Also have dual 3090s. Generally use vllm though.

My Nexus One had that colored trackball, and rooting / custom roms allowed you to set specific colors to whatever type of notification or alert you wanted. Good times.
