Yes, but it is boring telecom projects... so most people aren't interested. Scala is kind of a more modern alternative. If doing a twitter like platform, elixir with Phoenix channels could handle around >20k users per host. Very f

reliable? we all wish... In distributed systems the fist lesson is resilience is more important. Spend enough time in a computer lab, and you will see things halt and catch fire on occasion. Especially if it has a bunch of GPUs pinning the

They have already shown algorithmic discrimination in predicting recidivism for brown people, as they are nonsensically overrepresented in the statistical data of US prison populations. Folks should sue in a class-action lawsuit, any legal

But still refuse to answer "How many strings does a bass play with in water?" correctly, perhaps the chat monitors in the third world data entry centers will manually patch the nonsense for a more rational answer someday. lol =3

In general, any llvm compiled language is going to have persistent unpredictable jitter related issues. Only the naive think Rust is a replacement for C/C++, but the same issues also occur with clang compilers for the same reasons. Th

When it stops with the compacted isomorphic plagiarism using other peoples work like an intelligence campaign. LLM are not "AI" in my opinion, but are good at domain context search. Neuromorphic computing may change that one day,

Unlikely, but the lazy wonks could enable stratum 1 time services with the cars GPS/cellular receiver and RTC. Having done that for equipment in the past, we all know it is literary only $8.43/unit in parts. Also, setting ntp t

Often, the folks you want to ban are not the hosts running the scans. One's best bet is to play possum, and use your clients last login IPs falling in your service area geo-IP ranges for a firewall white-list. Then redirect the other

That is generally how regulatory-capture works. As silly as I personally think LLM hype is, the "AI" business posture choices with several Trillion dollars in debt on the books has very few options after hyper-scaling/sandbag

Very nice option, as getting WebRTC built on pi/aarch64 with v4l camera hardware codec support was a slog through mud a few years back. =3

The docker image build recipes should be easy to find these days. Usually it is just local networking appliance rules that cause issues for some users. Likely a great learning experience for the uninitiated. Have a great day =3

It takes experience to learn why people call it the "bleeding edge". GPU acceleration is often broken in a lot of distros, and it is unkind to new users that have a panic attack dropping into a CLI shell. LightDM at least works 9

Creepy spyware vendor insists they aren't doing what they were caught doing. They made customers feel like suckers for trusting the Brand. Their LG logo was literally on the signed evidence. What a bunch of clowns getting exposed by co

People are going to have to learn to eat algae, prawns, and insect proteins. As the eutrophication events in a warming ocean will suffocate just about everything else. Have a nice day. =3

They do raise white sturgeon in California land-based fish-farms for food. Those are not the 14' century old beasts in the river. =3

The local tagged 80 year olds were caught so many times over the years they are surprisingly mellow about the inconvenience once landed in the shallows. Still, takes guts to attempt that in a dingy, as "You're Gonna Need a Bigger

Acipenser transmontanus are harmless sucker mouth fish, and lived in the local rivers long before our towns were even an idea. They are usually strictly catch and release, but in a kayak could probably pull you a great distance. They are d

I ran the numbers on Sam Altman flippant statement about wasted energy, and found roughly 40000 human 20 year old lives worth of energy are exchanged with every frontier model training-cycle release at OpenAI. Some history... Westinghouse

They are hoping to use regulatory capture to regain lost market dominance. The problem is with that much debt buried in the report, no one is buying peoples sandbagging nonsense anymore. Even the boring bond market is showing odd behavior

1. Corporations misappropriating $9Tn of opensource human works to sell isomorphic plagiarism tokens is not progress, but rather an unsustainable ectoparasite people will not tolerate very long. 2. Indeed, the invention of the Cotton gin

Indeed, and then there are dozens of grieving families from folks driven mad by LLM helping murder their children. LLM use makes people feel more productive, but provably most lose 17% of their core skills performance. Also, homework cheat

Because like all state-sponsored thieves actions it is never what you know happened that matters, but rather whether you can prove it... Even then... ymmv =3

Nor should you demand every can of beans donated must be eaten with stinky blue cheese. Again, disguising a commercial work as FOSS is silly behavior... One can demand whatever you like in the EULA, but it only ever hurts honest players. =

Indeed, LLM also stole that data as well, and encoded it based on frequency of occurrence and similarity with other previously compacted fowl related vector weights. Yet still has no idea what any bird actually looks like. bye =3 https:&#x
