Doesn't the premise that there's something inferior about these AI solutions, imply that there is something superior about human intelligence and that there will continue to be some kind of useful work for humans to do?

Not the main point at all, but what was it? Pattern matching rule nestled deep in /lib/systemd/network? Some kind of mysterious netplan / NetworkManager compat layer?

You need the next token to begin the next decode. So if you can get what might be the next token in half the time, you can kick off the next decode before the true decode for this token has finished. If the draft was wrong you can kill th

I was so optimistic about using LLMs for "write once, read many" English language documents, but the more I've used the tools, the more pessimistic I get. More and more, I try to ask it for low prose responses because its wri

What kind of prompting are you using to get those results? Anything I have claude or codex write carries a ton of distinctive characteristics. Obsession with "bit-for-bit identical", "it's not the X it's the Y Z&quo

A bigger question I'm interested in is why do LLMs speak like that in the first place? Is that really what you get if you took the average of the English language? It would be difficult for me to believe that. Is there something about

I wonder if this is due to experience with reading technical documentation? I think the second requires deeper concentration, but is still quite readable compared to the kind of low-content engagement / SEO stuff one read on the intern

I get that a lot of immutable backup solutions are code, but they don’t have to be. You can do stuff like block writes in firmware or even blow fuses on the TX traces.

I think we should take the headline claim that "over 170k nonprofits lost all their data" with a huge grain of salt. As far as I can tell, the only source for that claim is: > And he later learned he wasn’t alone, when another

Will that necessarily be true in the future? Would we not expect that openrouter will develop the ability to negotiate special pricing?

My understanding of it is also pretty surface level, but I was not under the impression that it develops "expertise" in a particular subject matter, at least not in a way that's easy to harness. From what I've read, it d

I understand that GitHub kinda ate the world on this, but using a branch PR as the basic unit of change seems like an arbitrary choice to me. Torvalds invented Git for work on the Linux kernel, and the basic unit of change there is commits

I wonder if they could have added the ability to take only certain commits from a PR though? It kinda seems like they're duplicating the "unit of change" arbitrarily, rather than just fixing the way a PR works. I think the re

I don't have experience with the stacked PR workflow and often find myself asking the same questions you are. As far as I can tell, the biggest benefit of stacked PRs over just making a coherent series of commits, is that it might make

Yeah my phone was doing that for a while. I just took it as a sign that maybe I should spend less time on Reddit. After a while it stopped gating me. Not sure if that was a measured decision on their end, or just that the experiment ended.

I got a gen10 plus microserver and liked it so much that I got a second one. Throw FreeBSD on it and add a couple lines to /etc/exports and rc.conf and it's a NAS right out of the box

I'd probably just buy a cheap prebuilt PC with a big case, or surplus enterprise tower. You can get cheap LSI PCI cards and do miniSAS to SATA if needed. The biggest concern I'd have with USB is power delivery to the hard drives,

That's pretty nifty. Another affordable option I found was this "SFP Buddy" [0] for $50, which at least at the time seemed like it was about 10x less expensive than other market options. No affiliation, just bricked an ONT-on
