Hopefully this isn't off-topic, but your setup sounds just like mine, Strix Halo and (I'm assuming) llama.cpp on ROCm, and I'm finding that the Qwen hybrid models don't handle prompt caching and instead re-process the co

I'm a software developer, so I type a lot. Typing is very practical for throughput and speed. But I still make time for writing by hand. I find it to be very valuable, because it forces me to think differently about things and sit with

This name is perfect. I hope this gets traction.

Trump got a plurality of the popular vote, not a majority. There are lots of people who didn't vote for this. Many people are now doing whatever they can to limit the damage, but it's an uphill battle and plenty damage will be don

Sphinx is powerful and hard to beat if you're looking to generate documentation from code in multiple languages or export to multiple document formats, but it's slow and creaky and hard to hack on. MkDocs by itself is okay, but Ma

Holy wow, it never occurred to me that there were enough organizations launching satellites to warrant creating a managed service to support it.

PDF rendering is the bane of my existence. I've found it stunningly difficult to generate an acceptable output from a source format like Markdown, and the process usually requires massive dependencies and fiddly configuration to get so

> disclaimer: I have very little skin in this game. We use S3 for some static assets, and with layers of caching on top, I think we are rarely affected by outages. I'm still curious to observe major cloud outages and how they are ha

Don't disagree. It's a problem. As the parent poster and others have mentioned, you can use something like pipx, or bare virtualenv. At least once I've deployed via dh-virtualenv and rpmvenv, pyinstaller, cx_freeze, or tested

One thing that I wish was mentioned in this article is that Kubernetes already provides a pretty good compatibility layer between cloud providers. If you don't completely bake your app into AWS by using the AWS SDK all over the place o

I second having an internal PyPI. Not requiring your customers to build your platform wheels for you simplifies Python distribution quite a bit. It'll never be as clean as a static binary build, but it saves us from having to build out

I think that's already started to happen. I had to buy the Essentials kit this week because a standalone Pi was not available from any distributor, with lead times of up to a year.

This. I have a friend with 1Gbps up/down at his house. I've been waiting for fiber for like 10 years but it's never been available at any place I've lived. This is despite the fact that we live in the same (relatively sm

I was thinking the same. I hear this company name all the time at my work, so when I saw the title, I did a double-take and thought there was a typo. They even have AI voice command, so I briefly thought it was the same company.

I had to stop driving for four months after I had a sudden major seizure episode. Changes to medication also meant not driving for a similar amount of time. I have not had an event in years, and no longer take medication, but anxiety about

This article didn't add anything to the conversation. "Secret management" (i.e. having a non-ClickOps way to deploy secrets and a layer of security so that they're more than just not-configmaps) has been a black hole tha

You can also quit the CLI editor, e.g. vim.

I thought that was a peculiar choice of words as well. I would understand these things under the banner of "Build Engineering", or even just "Tooling". I couldn't figure out the distinction they wanted to make by ca

Wow, all day? That's a lot! My team and others have been having "office hours" meetings where everyone is just working, but often the cameras are off, mics are muted most of the time, and we only do it for a few hours a week.

There is a real use case for a tool like this. I once had to manage a large, locked-down installation of extremely custom Linux distros running on extremely custom legacy hardware. Python was not available, and definitely not Ruby, so that

I generally agree with you, though I want to comment on this line: > Code that you don't touch doesn't suddenly change its behaviour one day. This can and does happen all the time, when the platforms and abstractions your code

I've got a couple of these: - Stretch of freeway by my old house that looks and feels like any freeway you've ever been on, except they limit the speed to 45mph. Try to go 45 at your own peril as car and semi alike go 65 past you.

Yeah, there are quite a few applications that actively discourage the use of anything other than their CLI, which I find profoundly bizarre. Istio had a big warning in their docs that their Helm charts were deprecated, even though istioctl

My company has deployed Kubeflow for production model training. Early on, we used their big deployment, but we got frustrated trying to manage it with kfctl, so we started using kustomize directly and deploying only what we need, like KFP.
