   Every professor has their own style, most of the ones I had were very open that office hours were a pretty great way to get help/more targeted hints on what to study. This isn’t in my opinion, a problem. Their goal is to educate you as

   It’s LLM slop and very shallow, in my opinion.

   It’s a play on Taylor Swift lyric I think - “Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream“ (Blank Space)

   Basically every ml script I see has 42 as the default seed, even before LLMs. Pretty sure it was what I used for my thesis code haha. So not surprising it always picks it.

   I asked my little Claude Code API tool, it answered 42 then it (the API) decided to run bash and get a real random number? '>cs gib random number Here's a random number for you: 42 Just kidding — let me actually generate a prop

   Just poor ones - how much could it cost to get a scan of the oceans once weekly or daily? 10 million dollars?

   Which to me is a really good, encouraging thing. Overall I feel safer in a Waymo than a rideshare now and I only spent a few days being able to use Waymo...

   Literally some of the highest dynamic range sensors attached to probably the best generally intelligent model existing we know of - Humans are hard to compete with! I'd want LIDAR & RADAR just to give me an edge.

    The pay seems a bit low based on that article for that level of “performance expectation”

    I was looking up the Sparc S8 mentioned in the article and the first discussion that came up is quickly derailed due to worrying about copyright: https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/sparclinux/patch/202511...

    I’m personally pretty confused how a private company can effectively fine people?

    You could possibly infer an estimate of base staff based on that info; not like a great number, but a number.

    Ah; if only this was really true. You can certainly get a computer into a permanently bricked state, especially an embedded device. Even a modern x86 machine can be basically toasted by a bad firmware update.

    I had exactly the same thought, and was quite intrigued. Very disappointed actually, it would be cool if there was open data about land mines.

    Yeah, with you 100% here. It's all about the volume and use case.

    Really the one thing that's guaranteed to be manufactured in N years is _some kind of storage_. I wouldn't buy LTO-1 now, but later gens are going to be around for some time, just like CD-ROMs and other optical media, in some form

    I'm confused - I and many others basically have these cobbled together LTO setups. I'm only "Prepping" by finally moving some of my backups away from home, so in case of a fire or whatever I'm not out of luck. You c

    I bought a thunderbolt to FC adapter; works perfectly on Mac and Linux. I mention LTO 4 because you can today, buy multi decades old LTO-4. Brand new. So in multiple decades from now, I assume you’ll be able to find LTO-7 or 8; brand new. A

    This is true - I got a fiber channel LTO-8 FH drive off ebay brand new in the IBM packaging for less than 750$ Tapes are 60; so breaking even against 15$ per TB HDDs is pretty fast.

    I believe they are all 5.25in, some are just in a case. Even the library drives are just two 5.25 bays put together, a full height drive; vs. the much more common half height.

    by buildbot 8mo ago

    You can still buy brand new LTO-4 and up from a brief search - I think due to the enterprise use cases it’ll hang around longer than any other format. Tape existed before the HDD; it’ll be there watching HDDS pass away into the ether too. P

    In that case we must go deeper, and analyze the number of comments on articles on articles about the singularity.
