Do they work for 5G? I think just amplifying the signal (like 2g signal boosters did) would mess with a lot with all the fancy RF tricks that make 5G fast, stable, low-latency and quite low on package loss (5G has impressively low package l

I think in the US there are even public 5G frequencies that can be used. In most of Europe you would need to buy an expensive license to do that. Private 5G networks usually need internal eSIM cards, you can't just let public devices r

I thought it would create a private 5G network to extend the unify WiFis. But it's just a fancy 5G modem, right?

I guess that's the main issue. A lot of open source projects fell into this pit, when they put a related trademark into their name. Naming something OpenFastFirefox or iPhoneScript would cause a lot of trademark issues.

What we use nowadays is actually ECMAScript and not JavaScript. We just call it JavaScript.

Failure rates also go up. For AI inference it’s probably not too bad in most cases, just take the node offline and re-schedule the jobs to other nodes.

Been there. Back then memory was so cheap, that I didn't even bother of taking it out when i had to return it.

Most if them still offer laptops with memory slots, so at least for individuals it's quite easy to upgrade (companys often don't upgrade, labor is more expensive then bto). The thinner devices often have onboard memory, but even

Only if you don't use windows tooling. If you use a native windows git client over the network file share, trouble begins. Even vscode without remote wsl core. You can put everything inside Linux, but then it's better to switch to

Everything except FAT/NTFS is fine for small files. Refs works fine on windows too. Listing large directories is slow. But it is what it is.

No, don’t use WSL for JavaScript development. Dev Drive is what you’re looking for. But also pnpm has quite decent performance on NTFS, it uses symlinks

That’s another issue. The access from macOS/windows to the Linux filesystem (docker volume) is over the loopback network. Also the other way around docker bind mounts to windows/macos filesystem.

I think there is an auto shrink feature, but it might cause more trouble than good.

I guess you didn't check the latest memory prices. 64 GB used to be dirt cheap, but not anymore.

I guess the main issue is, that Windows filesystem APIs are slow. Windows does a lot of things when opening/closing file handles (acls, virus scanning, and many more). Unix style applications with a lot of small files just perform real

Actually I don't know it either. But WSL2 doesn't really start a lot of processes, like a desktop/server Linux distribution. It starts up only a minimal set of processes, and a shell. dmesg looks like the kernel is booting up
347.
by andix 11mo ago
Yes, it's "just" a VM. WSL2 is a bit like Firecracker for Linux. It's a lightweight VM, with a lot of optimizations here and there. For faster startup, lower memory footprint and so on. PS: which means you need a lot of

It's real reasoning. But it's not comparable to a human level.

There was a lot of talk about reaching "peak AI" in early summer of this year. I guess there is some truth to it. The last big improvement to LLMs was reasoning. It gave the existing models additional capabilities (after some re-t

I bought a refurbished laptop with 64gb ddr4 (so-dimm) last week. It was just slightly more expensive than the 32gb variant with same specs. I guess the seller was not yet aware of the high memory prices. In a week or two I might be able to

If/when the AI bubble bursts, there will be a lot of cheap used parts available to buy. Is it actually standard modules that are high on demand, or are the chips directly soldered to custom mainboards?

Just „slop“. News usually either come from a reputable source, with internal standards you trust (newspaper). Or from someone who mentions their sources.

by andix 11mo ago
Copyright issues will stop this soon. 40 year old newspaper articles aren't public domain yet in most countries. A gray area could be a newspaper that went out of business decades ago. Or maybe some government run newspaper that was pu

Without mentioning the source of the articles, it's completely useless. It would be hard to detect completely AI hallucinated articles, without a possibility to check the authenticity of the content.

If they file a CVE, they will draw a lot of attention from experts to the project. Even from people who never heard from this package before.

Even if less consumers will notice a compromise and report it, it still gives additional time for security researchers to analyze the packages, and for maintainers to notice themselves they got compromised There are a lot of companies out t

One reason for cooldowns is not mentioned: maintainers often notice by themselves they got compromised. The attacker will try to figure out when they are the least available: during national holidays, when they sleep, during conferences the
