Far worse than "decimate", which implies that nine tenths of it survives.

I have used perkeep. I still do at least in theory. I love the concept of it but it’s become… not quite abandonware, but it never gained enough traction to really take on a full life of its own before the primary author moved on. A bit of a

It's pretty frustrating to see a press release with "Try on ChatGPT" and then not see the models available even though I'm paying them $200/mo.

Various suggestions that have improved objective outcomes. Also, perhaps more often useful, is just "hey, tell me about ___ in the context of whatever I've told you about me" kind of thing". Sometimes, yeah, the suggesti

DC has a staggering density of restricted airspace; Reagan National has unusually tight approach/departure requirements... so it doesn't surprise me that if this was going to happen somewhere, it would be there.

Hah neat! I've never seen anything expect centiseconds before. Had no idea this was the way gifs are encoded. Bizarre.

Ok, probably I'm over-interpreting some first-year pain with the new chips. Anyway, even at that, virtualization isn't really my preferred way to solve any of the problems I have.

by burke 2y ago
Yep. However, before the Apple Silicon migration, VT-x gave us extremely low-overhead virtualization. We built a tiny linux kernel that booted in a second or two and were able to run whatever we wanted with minimal perf overhead. In the App

It's very heavyweight, and there's no good shared filesystem option. We did use virtualization for a bunch of stuff before the move to Apple Silicon, back when Hypervisor.framework and xhyve actually existed and were plausibly use

Lithium ion batteries in devices are sandwiched layers enclosed in a kind of 'pouch', right? So what if you manufactured one of these that looked identical to the normal battery, but only had half a battery inside, and the rest of

parent knows what they’re doing here but a helpful thing to know is that you generally want at least 3-5% salt by weight for safety (though less can be okay, depending on other factors)… but if you’re not building in a margin of safety, you

Fair. Probably this phenomenon is more limited to Vipassana specifically than I was guessing. I take the point about the Theravadan rhetorical move here but I still feel like at the very least the original texts deserve to not be written _o

Vitakka and vicara are these two terms translated as applied and sustained thought or so, and are kind of famously debated in terms of their specific meaning. Some translations/interpretations just take this to mean that the second jha

And anyway… isn’t it the case that Theravadan meditation practice went practically extinct before being reconstructed from the suttas and commentaries sometime in the 18th/19th centuries? Vipassana at least was reinvented as such. Unle

I dunno, I think it’s worthwhile to acknowledge that this describes the (very?) shallow end of the pool but these language game land wars are profoundly uninteresting to me. This–and TWIM jhanas in general–certainly involve the arising of t

Even when it works (I’ve never seen this failure), this site is offensively unusable. Anchors don’t go to useful places; search doesn’t work in the MathJax regions… the writing also does a fairly poor job of communicating details in many ca

Use for any kind of commercial operation forces you into stricter maintenance but for specifically private usage by an owner-pilot, TBO is just a suggestion.

Room temperature is 21°C and every degree Celsius is worth about 2°F; that’s about all it takes.
