People in this thread are trying to pick nits about you not defining consciousness, and yet they do not define it either. I think that something like consciousness needs to be approached experentially and not via definitions. Definitions

It's the novelty that you're chasing. Deeply consider what it is that you are enjoying, because it's not very different from doom scrolling or quickly stale bubble gum. Maybe AI produces pop music that supplants the long-st

I've seen proposals for Product Managers to define those conditions themselves by speaking with the LLM. A continuing architectural diagram is constructed and graph is updated until all cases are covered and then the LLM writes the co

The outcome of this is, in my opinion, the United States Government classifying and regulating LLMs as something akin to how the ATF classifies weapons, ie. requiring a license to operate an LLM (hosting), with different classifications and

That's like accepting burnt coffee is the average, so why try to make a good tasting cup. Nonsense.

So, I don't know if this is AI generated or whether the author is actually unaware, but Atari cartridges and floppies commonly had copy protections. My uncle was active in the scene at the time, and as an electrical engineer came up w

I've tried a few models and some are decent, including Qwens models. I've tried a few harnesses like Roo Code in VSCode to put things together that in theory emulate the experience I get from VSCode + Claude or Copilot, but I gen

I have to disagree. LLMs have shown that the only way to participate in the new software ecosystem are through leveraging an extremely powerful position that is create, backed, and maintained through the exploitation of capital, labor, and

The OpenTelemetry spec is absolutely what folks have been waiting for for as long as I've been in computing (~20 years). A single standard that is implemented in nearly every popular language with very close feature parity. It's

This is your opinion. I do not share your opinion. The occult is a wide range of topics and practices, generally split (but not cleanly) into theurgic and thaumaturgic activities. That is, manifestation of the three common desires (wealt

From the very beginning of my tenure at my current "start-up" I wrote a Rust bespoke implementation using the base OpenTelemetry library with lots of opinionated defaults and company specifics. We integrated this early on in our

I adore Justin Sledge, despite putting me to sleep quite a few times. If you want to learn a bit about the religious side of the esoteric (mysticism) I highly recommend Filip Holm https://www.youtube.com/@LetsTalkReligion

There are actually some fairly high quality translations of things nowadays. Much better than even 20 years ago. If you are still inclined to the occult, now is a better time than pretty much ever. Science doesn't negate an interest

I grow heirloom tomatoes in the United States, and they are spectacular . The tomatoes available in the grocery store pale in comparison to anything grown in your own garden.

I have to completely disagree. Application level metrics can also be emitted at the log level, but are much easier to work with as a metric. We have total request count, average request latency per route, and per HTTP response. This is e

I hope that it will work. I loved the forum days---there was a real sense of community there that does not exist on Reddit except for some very small subs.

Yeah, that's not great. The interface seems snappier for me, but I may just be partial. I dunno. There is no perfect solution, but Grafana has been pretty amazing in my experiences.

by wise0wl 3y ago
That has not been my experience whatsoever. At work we run our own self-hosted Grafana open-source and it's been fantastic. I've also run it on my own Raspberry Pi 4B at home and it's worked very well.

Grafana has a self-hosted all-in-one docker compose for Loki, Grafana, and Promtail: https://grafana.com/docs/loki/latest/installation/docker/ I love pretty much everything these folks do.

I have improved my handwriting. It took a few months of consistent journaling with a fountain pen to find the "font" that worked for me. Now, I have different writing styles depending on how much time I can take. I use a broad

In my next life I think I will do this. I decided to get married and have kids, so this one is mostly spoken for---but next time round I am doing the sabbatical thing.

Once you actually don't need it anymore, throw it far away and do not look back. Benzos and opiates ruin lives because of that little voice. That voice will be strong enough one day that if you have those close by you will take a few

We use Pulumi at my current workplace and love it. Being able to use a real language (Typescript, in our case) allows us to create data structure abstractions to feed our Infrastructure-as-Code that make sense from a developer interaction

OpenTelemetry is amazing. I have used it for multiple languages and frameworks (rust, node (react specifically), golang, C#) and it has been a pleasure to work with. The integrations are very similar and the fact that you can instrument m

Long abstinence is the key. I have been able to re-frame my relationship with alcohol successfully---but this is often not the case for long time habitual users. I cut out alcohol, but substituted in non-alcoholic beer (they are VERY good

That was one of the original purposes for LSD---it was billed as a "psychomemetic", in that it mimicked the state of psychosis and made it so therapists could better study and treat the disease in isolation.

I agree. I've been using Vaultwarden on ARM for over a year and it's been flawless . Just excellent execution and seamless integration with the iOS App Store version of the Bitwarden client.

Perhaps because of trucks, yes---but I've found the majority of car noise is from the tires and not the engines. Most modern ICE cars are exceptionally quiet.

The bit about getting a handgun permit is completely untrue. You can buy a handgun over-the-counter in California with no more than the normal waiting period and safety test (multiple choice test you take every five years. If you meant a

And it can run on a Raspberry Pi! The DB can be hosted in SQLite (the default) or Postgres, as opposed to Bitwarden which requires MSSQL, which is not compiled for ARM.
