It has been said before but I still find it insane how separate Boeing R&D is from Boeing manufacturing. Boeing manufacturing has been butchered into several independent organisms and scattered across the US states that gives most tax b

Now I am really curious how to programmatically create a sandboxed compute environment to do a self-hosted "Computer use" and see how well other models, including self-hosted Ollama models, can do this.

Is there any Python/Node.js library to easily spawn secure isolated compute environments, possibly using gvisor or firecracker under the hood? This could be useful to build a self-hosted "Computer use" using Ollama and a mult

Boeing R&D and manufacturing is completely separated which is probably a significant source of problems for them. Often manufacturing is moved to locations that gives tax breaks and other benefits. Meanwhile Airbus R&D engineers in

We have stronger worker entitlements here in Europe but WFH is often just a positive remnant from the COVID era and not something specified in our contracts. For example I work fewer hours and from home on Fridays but nowhere in my contract

A lot of pro-Palestinian online activism actually comes from the Israeli IP ranges. There are two million Palestinians with Israeli citizenship inside Israel and they are free to do pro-Palestinian activism as long as it doesn't call f

Yeah I'm sure FnF and Sneako are just progressive pro-Palestine activists. Hasan the Turkish nationalist promoting anti-Jewish terrorism to his American underage viewers is also just "anti-zionism".

Russian streamers are still on Twitch including pro-war Russian streamers who did some rather tasteless streams on the first days of Russia's large-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Worth pointing out that FnF and Sneako are actual far-right anti-semites and not just the generic left-wing pro-Palestine activists.

The block was hardcoded into the source code on October 13, 2023. I think it would have been done by one of the ops teams if it was required by management. Probably just something done by a single dev.

gpt-4o-audio-preview seems like a stealth preview release of the Advanced Voice API but using the old voices. I asked it to speak like Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow but it used a much stronger Eastern European accent than in the movies

Recently, many European countries have started using Cloudflare’s anti-DDoS protection for government services, which is fine since it can be done securely with end-to-end encryption in a zero-trust model. However, these countries are now i

I am using an old laptop with a GTX 1060 6 GB VRAM to run a home server with Ubuntu and Ollama. Because of quantization Ollama can run 7B/8B models on an 8 year old laptop GPU with 6 GB VRAM.
