The US is so weird right now. You have a President who is ordering the defunding of tons of groups (universities, media, aid, institutes) while not clearly having that authority and often doing so for what he views as ideological crimes. Al

Waymo has to start moving faster, and democratizing the space by making it available to all car makers is smart, because it seems that Elon Musk is pushing Tesla to make RoboTaxis their #1 priority: https://www.businessinsider.co

It is a weird caveat in that study that sort of makes it a tautology: “We found that at least in men with no known fertility challenges, sperm counts are largely stable and haven't changed significantly in the last few years, which is

My suspicion is that the use of plastics with food is also the main contributor to the fertility crisis (declining sperm counts, etc) we have. Wouldn't be surprised that this then also contributes, through sperm quality degradation, t

I think the lessons in this article are still great and you can automate them via ansible. E.g. install brew, run brewfile, apply default config, etc.

Is there any shell/bash extensions that just allow you to use LLMs easily from the command line? Basically like warp but just a simple extension instead of a full iterm replacement?

I think it is because it is using a "mini" model with the search results as a RAG source so they can afford to use it on every single query. Thus it doesn't know very much and doesn't have much context to work with.

Welp, this likely means that Musk/X will want to buy Chrome now too. Anything OpenAI does these days gets the attention/envy of Musk.

I use homebrew constantly but the only part I find slow is the custom installations of the software and the lack of downloading while installing? Neither of these is related to the implementation language. What part of the home brew experi

by bhouston 2y ago
My thoughts exactly. The main reason I find brew to be a bit slow is just a lack of parallelism with regards to downloads and installs. Rather brew does alternating and sequential D, I, D, I, D, I, when I wish it just kept downloading in th

I used to be a Synology fan with owning many of their devices for work and office. But I've moved on to TrueNAS now and haven't looked back. TrueNAS with ZFS is just amazing.
