   Sure. Lately I've found that the "role" part of prompt engineering seems to be the most important. So what I've been doing is telling ChatGPT to play the role of the most educated/wise/knowledgeable/skill

   I did actually. I glanced through the first 10 and last 10 or so pages before I even thought of asking NotebookLM for a summary. I thought it might be appreciated by someone who wanted a slightly better summary.

   HN, being a gathering place of the engineers and types who actually do the work for systems like this, is heavily targetted for manipulation and influence by nation state and above actors to prevent too much truth in the narrative, which mu

   Based on some of my reading on the current thermal paper, we really need a safer alternative. If you deal with receipts many times in a day you should be wearing gloves!

    I still get a rush with a new server on the internet !!! (especially my latest host: 12 core new gen epyc instances with 48G RAM.)

    Sysadmin here. Thats what we used to be called. Then some fads came, some went. DevOps, SRE. Etc. I have notes on particular areas I am focusing on, but I have a small set of general notes on this, and they seem to apply to you SWEs also. H

    I meant more copyleft, not just compat, but you are correct!

    I wish it was a GPL compat license, but a common lisp renderer agnostic system has me super curious! edit: ok this is fast and I like it! eww take a backseat!

    This accurate and depressing to know it is likely the future. It makes me think of "nets" in CyberPunk 2077, and how everyone is trying to run/control their own private one, and "the net" is super dangerous, as it&#

    Thats not how blackmail operations work... The compromise is total. Presidents are puppets. They do as told. There is a shadow government, and CoG is still at play. The reality is so crazy most people can't handle it. Congress is the s

    I was a luddite about the generative LLMs at first, as a crusty sysadmin type. I came around and started experimenting. It's been a boon for me. My conclusion is that we are at the first wave of a split between those who use LLMs to au

    Supermicro and Asus are just about the only ones who make the motherboards I need in my COTS on-prem/dc stuff. Why don't more manufacturers target the server x64 market? It's sorely needed. I've built entire systems with

    It's the halfway point between the winter solistice an autumnal equinox. Just like "Christmas" is really just winter solstice. It's all thinly veiled solar worship.

    No, they are cutting now to keep it propped up. After the election they will raise again, triggering the cascade.

    I don't think it will. The economy bubble will be popped post-election (you will know when the Fed starts raising rates again), but CRE (commercial real estate) is likely the catalyst this time. Within CRE, datacenters are the only ite

    Something I'm working on now. The real issue is that you get more perf hits trying to do all the important stuff server side, so devs have become lazy and offloaded more to the client than they should have, and then that became the sta
