I bought one because as far as I could find it is basically one of two 2-in-1's on the market that officially support Linux. (It replaced an old Android tablet and one of the original FW13's, both of which were getting old.)

That's mainly for historical reasons (select syscall can only handle fds<1024), modern programs can just set their soft limit to their hard limit and not worry about it anymore: https://0pointer.net/blog/file-de

Leads to really fun statements like "there exists a proof that all reals are equal to themselves" and "there does not exist a proof for every real number that it is equal to itself" (because `x=x`, for most real numbers,

You can even use it without LVM, though it's still a pain to setup.

People definitely threaten AIs and find increased short term performance, they've been doing this for a while now.

A well done PWA will absolutely beat SSR on a shitty connection if it's actually an app. Cache-control immutable the code and assets of the app and it will only be reloaded on changes. Offline-first and/or stale-while-revalidate a

I love the autocomplete, honestly use it more than any other AI feature. But I'm forced to write in Go which has a lot of boilerplate (and no, some kind of code library or whatever would not help... it's just easier to type at tha

DeepSeek has a lot of competing providers that at least state they don't train on API data, OpenRouter lists a bunch of them: https://openrouter.ai/deepseek/deepseek-chat-v3-0324/provide... (This is a big adv

Can you even use bare llama.cpp with OpenWebUI? Especially when they are running on two different computers?

Can you unplug the entire Internet?

That's likely only the marginal cost of training this model, and doesn't include a lot of other costs, like the datacenters and GPUs themselves which they already had and also the staff. If they aren't lying because they have

Docker is very "less is more" and it shows.

Docker didn't support nftables for years (idk if they even support it now). I moved my personal machine to Podman because of it! Also port forwarding in Docker (and Podman!) still bypasses ufw/other firewalls, which is really an

I wonder how useful purism phones are for this (all external communication, including GPS, has hardware shutoffs). They are expensive though...

There's a different reason to lean on the DB: it's the final arbiter of your data. Much harder to create bad/poisoned data if the DB has a constraint on it (primary, foreign, check, etc) than if you have to remember it in you

The chatbot leaderboard seems to be very affected by things other than capability, like "how nice is it to talk to" and "how likely is it to refuse requests" and "how fast does it respond" etc. Flash is literal

It only takes 33 bits to identify someone. This reveals a couple of bits.

I did something similar with pg_tmp as well. I also had a lot of tests around migrations, so there was a lot of tests that would 1) ask for a DB of version x 2) insert things into the DB, etc 3) migrate to version y 4) ensure the DB is appr

ChatGPT basically lets you edit any of your messages at any point in the conversation, which I definitely use (e.g., if the conversation has gotten into a bad basin, the LLM misunderstood me, etc). Also ChatGPT has a pretty big context wind
