Trying to run ZFS on a bunch of disks was hard. When I ran it on a laptop power management was miserable. It's just hard to use as a desktop system -- I switched to Arch and it's a lot easier for day-to-day.

One of the killer features of Qubes when I used it was the ability to "pause" a VM and all of the apps running in it. That's something I've tried to replicate with tools like tmuxp but I've never found an abstractio

Anybody know if there are any accessible large format 3D printers that have big nozzles? (Ie like >1mm) I briefly looked but there were all crazy $$$ so curious if others know!

Where do you go for this information though? I think that's the tool that many people struggle to understand here. If you have the desire to learn more, how do you get there?

Damn they're giving under 3 weeks to export before you lose all of your data? That's insane! If I were on an extended vacation and missed this, my data would be gone when I get back. They _really_ should increase that to be longer

It's have to be deflation for them to be worth more. The only thing here that would be the equivalent would be the value of the silver. I'm _guessing_ that the silver is worth like 1% of the valuation (from looking at the photos).

But if the light is "warping" around the object then would you be able to grab the light from either side by intercepting it there? If you are at the X AU required for lending, but you sit at X/2 AU with some slight offset, y

Is there anything stopping you from putting 2+ satellites out "closer" but in the path of the lensed light, capturing the light simultaneously, and then resolving the image via async computation later? I think this is called inter

I'm able to follow most of what you're saying. It's unclear to me what "convex hull" means though. Also, where is each softmax happening here? For each attention head?

A 30bn param model, hell even a 7bn param model, is still incredibly useful and I feel like that could have been doable a decade ago! We have GPT-4 (or at least 3.5) tier performance in these much smaller models now. If we teleported back i

Oh my god, that's insane! This is the clearest example I've seen of why we need better privacy regulations. There is nothing stopping a company from just spinning up and doing this to compete with PimEyes, and then you'd have

That's about the same price as a 3090 and it's also 24GB. Are they faster at inference?

What's the best bang-for-your-buck AMD GPU these days? I just bought 2 used 3090s for $750ish refurb'd on eBay. Curious what others are using for running LLMs locally.

It did say that it was methylated and made bioavailable. Not great I think.

Sure, but there is some requirement to not just blindly copy everything over-and-over, and that is where I've seen things get tricky before. If you enable encryption you have to re-upload the entire snapshot periodically. It's ann

How good at deduping is this when encryption is enabled? I was looking at rsync.net and it killed me that they don't support encryption in a sane way.

A pretty incredible amount of work to make this possible. I'm very curious to see what this means for the future. Will the next NASA mission use Linux now that it's effectively an RTOS? I found this link for others that are curiou

Have we ever thought about building a nuclear reactor underground before? Seems a little insane, but I'm trying to think through the "why" part. It would be awfully convenient if the way you "store" the nuclear wast

How do you read from a file like that in SQL? I know that this is in "theory" possible but I've never had a legitimate use case where I've needed to do file I/O from my ORM, lol. This is the ChatGPT answer that I wa

Unrelated to the topic being discussed, but my mind immediately went to "per core pricing" which is common for databases. Some SQL servers would be charged for by the number of CPU cores in a system, and manufacturers would often
