So what's the solution here? Keep the cache artificially warm for even obscure routes?

Apparently I'm either a child voice actor on the cartoon Bluey or an adult film actor. Those were the most interesting anyway. But all of them were hallucinations. The most interesting thing about this, IMO is that none of the models c

That's completely untrue, speaking as someone who drives a motorcycle every day, at least if you're not driving some horrible (to everyone around you) 500cc beast, you can hear things just fine. Especially horns, trucks, busses et

There's just a tiny step from wearing noise canceling earphones with no music playing, to pressing a button and blaring Bat out of Hell while you speed down the mountainside. In any case, it's irrelevant - as far as I know, wearin

They said it's a median 85x speedup while maintaining byte for byte equivalence. If it wasn't agentic coding that got there, everyone would be singing praises about that.

Because when all the financial power, lobbying, advertising, housing, manufacturing, media etc. is controlled by a handful of oligarchs, it doesn't much matter what way people vote. Too much of the power is owned by the oligarchs rathe

It's probably relative to how much humidity there is where you are. I'm in a very humid area, and I have humidity sensors. Leaving an AC unit on dry mode in a small room does basically nothing - at most it will shift humidity by a

Yes, I've found this. Along with localization - my app will be used equally by two main locales and it's clearly and emphatically noted as non optional to include both at the very first pass of all implementation. However, it gets

Yes, you can use ublock. There's a button on the extension to remove elements from a website. Or if you're on mobile you can use Brave browser which has the same function.

They remove a small amount of moisture, yes. It's nothing compared to what a dehumidifier removes though, even if they're in dry mode.

At Apple scale I would have thought that makes it cheaper, not more expensive.

Definitely not normal here although in my current house I did repaint with good paint, but I had to ask the owner permission first. I think that the owner needing to repaint between tenants is considered normal wear and tear here.

No, I've never seen a residential house with HVAC, even in big apartments. It's all split wall mounted AC units here, or if you're fancy a ceiling version that's basically the same. I think Americans call these heat pump

Absolutely but one thing about living in rented accommodation - you rarely get to choose the paint. I agree that a dehumidifier helps but you basically need one in every room. Where I live you can easily take out 10 liters a day from every

I've unfortunately lived in too many houses where mold becomes a problem. It's never my fault, it's always been because the house is old/doesn't have proper damp proofing/cheap paint was used, or no damp proofi

I appreciated your comment, and strongly believe that diet and lifestyle changes are badly ignored when it comes to treating all kinds of diseases, in large part because of the difficulty of getting people to follow through. To be fair, if

It's a bad analogy. Say what you will about the strengths and weaknesses of current LLMs but there's no "high-schoolers" (outside of rare prodigies) who can write code at the level of a frontier LLM.

I run it on a Hetzner vps with 4 vcpus, 16gb of ram that's also running multiple other containers. I haven't checked recently but most of that ram is free. I'm not going to claim nextcloud is the snappiest app but I can open
