I hope we don't get overlay file systems in Windows. Such a headache to debug low disk space issues.

On Windows the swap file is usually C:\pagefile.sys, and the size is configurable (even to zero if needed).

I get your frustration, that was an inconsistency I disliked about Android too. I felt like it was fairly normal for "power users" to have an 3rd party file browser with more functions to help manage the files on the phone. One th

Yeah, I can't understand why anyone would attack IA. The service is a gift to the whole internet.

I find a lot of interesting links between spirituality and physics like this. One idea or message in spirituality is that everything happens exactly as as "the universe" intends it to. It's meant to be a comforting thought as

I came across this looking for weather station software I could run locally. Various implementation examples can be found here: https://weewx.com/showcase.html

Right, shares the same PHY/layer 1, but logically separated at layer 2. :)

Right. I don't even let my work laptop onto my home LAN. It's hardwired into its own /30 VLAN and can only see the gateway and internet.

Right. If I accidentally crash my vehicle into someone's property (or worse, someone) I don't want to be out of pocket for potentially 100s of thousands when I could just pay my sub-$100 premium and not worry about it.

My only fear of doing this is that someone could call in and say "oh sorry, I just typed in a bunch of random numbers and letters" and the rep will go "haha, don't we all!" and let them reset the password.

Yeah, similar for interesting events caught on security cameras. I assume these videos tend to come from the operator who only has access to view but not to export. Plus, they'd need to get the export into a phone-native format for upl

If they say they will destroy it, then I later find it wasn't destroyed and it was used in some way that was harmful to me, doesn't that make the company massively liable? That's the only reassurance I have. It would be like

I checked the "destroy my sample after analysis" checkbox. So the analysis is there but not the actual sample. Maybe this is somewhat better?

I think it's a combination of both technology and changes to our behavior. A cheap way to sequester CO2 and methane would be really helpful. The 2020 lockdowns showed us that slowing down on shipping and driving to work can make a meas

I agree the Earth will survive even if it's not the same Earth we know and love today. Maybe we should all give a little extra appreciation for this specific time we live in - one of great technological advancement and one in which we

I wonder what kind of hardware debugging could be used to find the source of the leak. Could they spacewalk to the exterior of the tunnel and then emit some kind of detectible but inert gas from the interior to see where it appears outside?

I agree on the translation part. Llama 3.1 8B even at 4bit does a great job translating JP to EN as far as I can tell, and is often better than dedicated translation models like Argos in my experience.

I recall the links disappearing quite a while ago. It's a bummer because cached links are genuinely useful - helps one visit a site if it's temporarily or recently downed, sometimes can bypass some weak internet filters, can let o

Maybe CriticGPT could be used here [0]. Have the CoT model produce a result, and either automatically or upon user request, ask CriticGPT to review the hidden CoT and feed the critique into the next response. This way the error can (hopeful

Neat. I've used a .m3u8 for my di.fm subscription for probably 10+ years, it works great paired with Winamp/WACUP.

Maybe a fun idea - run an application on both sides of a remote TCP connection that records but doesn't respond to TCP RST packets. Then see how many times you get "reset".

Finding your own software bundled or integrated with someone else's software (assuming those are the terms one desired) would be one of the ultimate feelings of flattery to me.

I agree, I think there is a lot of intelligence around us, perhaps even in ways we don't fully see or imagine. One of the largest organisms on Earth is a mycelium network in Oregon, it's nearly 4 square miles in size. https:&#x2F

Is Microsoft's B2B support really that bad? I've never directly interacted with them, but from what I've heard within my org, they are at least fairly responsive and helpful when you're paying them millions for software.
