I'm trying to understand why the C suite is reaching for AI. I mean, what is driving them to force people to use it so much ? Is it fear of the business being copied elsewhere? Is it because monetary incentives to lessen the workforce?

Did you just use metaphor to show insight of the subject instead of exposing the real mechanism? What would be the reason for the model to respond this? Can you explain for us plebs that don't have intimate knowledge of LLM internal ar

AI is capable of generating things that are nearly indiscernible from reality, with almost any input, be it adversarial or other. Photoshop at least involved some manual trimming and lengthy process that couldn't be applied to "li

Way more technical, way smaller. HN is a lot more wide in terms of audience and subjects, Lobsters is mainly programming. I love it.

One of the founding books that really blew my mind and drove me on the path of software and hacking. I was 17 in 2005 and discovered it by chance, and I’ve been binging on hard sf since then. Matrix and this were really transformative for m

What are you talking about ? It says that the parental settings (when enabled!) are just letting children do whatever they want by default: - buying overpriced objects - chat without any restriction online - play without interruption for lo

I just can't. We shouldn't be saying "if an individual chooses to do so, we could achieve political harmony". At what point does the government says: twitter/X has attained a critical mass and should adhere to stric

I want to subscribe to your AI wars news please! Joke aside, the strategic choices here and there hint at the blood lust of all other actors to dethrone Nvidia, it’s fascinating.

She's her own boss and shares her office space with 4 other people in medical space, no shadow IT there. Since her desk is far from the internet router, I added this little guy for her to have less cables and allow more connectivity.

My wife’s work WiFi is handled by a gl.inet 150 ( https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ar150/ ) which is tucked behind her desk since at least 2019. Vanilla openwrt on it, provides WiFi from an Ethernet slot in the w

Same, I use LLMs to figure out the correct options to pass in the AZ or the AWS CLI, or some low-key things. I still code on my own. But our management has drunk the Kool Aid and has now everybody obliged to use Copilot or other LLM assists

Cause the codebase wasn't in my scope originally and I had to review in emergency due to a regression in production. I took the time to understand the issue at hand and why the code had to change. To be clear, the guy moved back a Dock

Rant mode on. For the second time of the week this morning, I spent 45 min reviewing a merge request where the guy has no idea what he did, didn’t test, and let the llm hallucinate a very bad solution to a simple problem. He just had to

Hey robinhood, any feedback on Talos? We've been using Talos for our internal clusters for a while, but with quite small ones (3 kube node, 5 worker nodes). Upgrading has been generally a non event, and we're quite happy with them

I have so many questions, it is a very good article! My most important one is this: can I build a distributed k8s cluster with this? I mean having fly machines in Europe, US and Asia acting as a solid k8s cluster and letting the kube schedu

Can't you simply `proxy_pass` the traffic with any load balancer or reverse proxy (that you probably have anyways if you use TLS)?

From what I read somewhere, Tesla was able to do that because they have remote ssh capability. In at least one instance, they fixed the cars manually by running a massive remote command on all cars after a messed up update: https:/&#x

Reading your comment, my first thought was "how entitled??", but I see that this meeting was set up by the DO founders? Aoutch.

Say what you want about docker compose, but when I see the amount of scaffolding necessary for this, with so many catch words like butane or ignition, I’m happy with my good ol’ docker composé file where everything is neatly organized. In

I need to store on Azure for DRP reasons: we would DRP to azure and need the bandwidth. Also, storing the ZFS snapshots on Blob storage would still require us to retrieve the entirety of the 80TB before being able to use it. I need native Z

We are trying to use it for large backups of a production item, and it has not been a complete smooth ride all along. We have many files (millions) and lots of churn over ~80Tb total. Kopia has exhibited some issues: - takes about 120GB (!)

Ah yes, rituximab, the R in R-CHOP. Welcome to the club! The very first infusion in my case triggered such a nasty allergic reaction that they settled on a 24h infusion duration, thank god I had a port. Fun times

Story time.. I coded a similar thing when I started working after graduation for a DTV software company; we needed to have an IPC on Linux and I whipped up some very crude equivalent of protobuf (which I didn’t know about), based on an RLE

Do you think it could be adapted so that we can use an rpi and pwm on a gpio to have a rx/tx without the RF component?

I don’t understand how you can spend so much. Even with inflation we (family of 4, cooling all meals at home) are at less than 800€/$ per month. And we eat meat nearly all meals.
