I’ve been wondering why I can’t get something in a NUC like form factor with some legit cores and memory for a decent price. The x4 is launched, I’d totally settle for like 4 x1 cores, 4 or 8 x3 or x4 cores would be ideal, something that c

I understand the point you're trying to make and I agree that FreeBSD tends to have cleaner code and better documentation at different levels but I don't think that it makes it that much more difficult. If you dropped in from a

The community is such that if one of either FreeBSD or Linux really outperformed the other in some capacity, they'd rally and get the gap closed pretty quickly. There are benchmarks that flatter both but they tend to converge and be p

There are plenty of good uses for linked list and their variants. Like LRU lists come to mind; I couldn't bet that it's the most efficient way to implement them but they're pretty darn good. Then obviously things like bre

How can they not? Did MS spin custom ARM parts with inference acceleration? And Apple has "neural processing" on their parts. And Qualcomm says the elite X is built for AI... Seems like there are 2 plays here, there is infere

Worse, it’s going to be a very expensive part. I know us nerds aren’t the market, but an mATX motherboard with elite x for like $700-800 would be a seller.

Same experience. We were doing all the things, regular backups, rotating them, verifying them . During a weekly verification test, it failed. Tested some older backups and they failed too! If the data matters, it’s hard to express the

IBM has always been a punching bag. I had been wondering who would buy HCP, I sort of figured it was either going to be AWS, Google, or Azure and then I figured the other vendor were going to have support removed (maybe gradually, maybe

One thing I’ve learned, not from direct experience but from observation. These things are way cheaper than the more ethical and optimistic of us in society think. Your point is totally valid but the number is probably more like $5k-10

The xz list traffic was remarkably low. More than a few times over the years, I thought it broke or I was unsubscribed. Messages like Jigar’s are kind of par for the course.

When was the first source code control system released? SCCS was like 1973 and the Voyager code was probably pretty much buttoned by then; with whatever practices that they thought was stable state of the art practices at the time. I im

The internet has negativity and criticism. Probably doesn’t matter what you do, someone will crap on it. (Heck, I'm guilty here too) DDJ was just affirmational, “here is some knowledge” “here is how I built <x>” there is an in

Among some other really cringey behaviors. I've seen bottles of alcohol passed around doing talks and heard more than a few really off color jokes about criminal sex acts and such. Vegas waitresses have seen it all also but there was

How do we add new ones? I have been advocating for “a happiness of poodles” amongst my friends, but it needs to go wide for more usage traction.

What are some of the differences in engineering culture? It’s kind of an opaque term that can mean a lot of different things.

Odd, it one mention of ‘hunger’ that I’ve seen in this discussion… Bell labs, Watson labs, others all had hungry researchers that were passionate about an area of research and simply needed the resources to realize it. That is all, and gu

They can be dangerous, properly administered they tend not to be. In the early part of the epo era, a number of lesser pros and amateurs killed themselves by thickening their blood with epo. Most of the serious dopers are still incredib

In college we included the optimal case in understanding caching. It’s a very worthwhile process. Sieve’s claim is simplicity and lower eviction latency. That should be measured against hits. A tiny fraction more hits will almost always

Not an expert, but there are additional start up costs that need to be spent to “start it up.” With any significant downtime, those could eat up any possible profit unless it’s a newest technology fab.

Yes, it will be superseded. Will the new thing be “better?” I guess that depends on the metric and needs. “ls” was done but exa/eza came along and they have users. Pondering it, most of the easy things I can think about are really

A LOT of people have put a ton of energy in to OpenAI, and a lot have put A LOT of money into it. If it was as petty as credit, then screw them all as they just don’t get it. It’s all on the shoulders of others too….
