I agree... I use a Pi4B 8GB as a home server with a number of duties. Less power consumption than the Pi 5 (and no heatsink), and it was the first to offer the combination of USB booting, more than 1GB RAM, and Gigabit Ethernet. And reasona

I have some doubt here, because I do know that managers of at least some seniority have the political antennae to be wary of taking responsibility for something they don’t understand blowing up in their face. If they use LLMs directly, then

I think the biggest factor is fear. When we first started discussing LLMs a few years ago, it was easy to be amused and reassured when looking closer at all the inaccuracies. The models have improved at an alarming rate. Some of us have spe

I use a Pi 4B as a 24/7 home server in a country where domestic electricity is expensive (and worsening). Each Pi release is more powerful, but uses more energy. I found the Pi 4B to be the sweet spot for me, because it is the earliest

The “own nothing and be happy” quote is from a blog post made by the World Economic Forum. I find meta-governmental organisations even more troublesome, and you can’t vote them out. It isn’t only conspiracy theorists who should be disturbed

The original Bomba was the genius work of a Polish man, but was no use from 1938-1939 when the Enigma cipher was strengthened. At which point the Turing-Welchman Bombe was developed. The Battle of the Atlantic ran between 1939 and 1945. For

“during WWII, the US Navy… winning the U-boat war in the Atlantic” Sounds like typical US revisionist history. They developed ASDIC? HF/DF? Hedgehog? Even the depth charge? No, that was all the British. I would say technological develo

I use two LG 5K Ultrafine models. The quality is fantastic. Only two things to watch out for. The first is burn-in. I now move windows about when I can, and also tend to use Dark mode for everything. I also set up BetterTouchTool to give m

If it was a daily quota issue, I would have been notified and unable to use more Pro requests until the 24hr period had reset. This was a temporary rate limit and it told me to try again at a specified time which wasn’t far away. That’s dif

There is consensus on r/gemini that the window is a matter of hours now, not 24h. I subscribe to the AI Pro plan. I knew of a published limit of 100 Pro prompts per day, but before this month it seemed they were relaxed about it. I hav

I’ve tried various kinds of exercise over the years, and I think the key is to keep experimenting until you find something sustainable that you actually like. And make it as frictionless (in terms of getting started) as possible. I use a w

Ironic choice of example… Before systemd presented a generalised interface, there were significant differences in the init and service management systems between the popular Red Hat and Debian families of distros.

I use a variety of LLMs. In my experience to date, ChatGPT really is a sycophant. Claude can be moderately stubborn. Gemini is usually very stubborn, practically unmovable, unless you present new facts or make a rock solid counter-argument.

An average of 7 acts a day. Wonderful. And I’m sure the 32,000 EU Commission employees are being fairly and responsibly advised by the 30,000 paid lobbyists from those 15,000 lobbyist organisations registered in Brussels.
