Does this surprise anyone? I mean these models are inherently probabilistic. If you run enough samples you'll get results matching the learned probability distribution, the more you sample the higher the chances that you'll land o

I think eventually local AI models will win out. At least locally hosted.

Never outsource your core competency. That reliance on third-party AI is a huge risk, just saying.

Super interesting but it's so damn hard to find any detail. I would love to see an instruction set reference for one of these, all you have is hardware architectural diagrams or high level APIs.

It is possible to treat as purely relational but it can be suboptimal on data access if you follow through with it. The main cost is on the join when you need to access several columns, it's flexible but expensive. To take full advanta

Nice, the only weird thing was the assumptions about OLAP (and I had to speed it up to ~1.4x). Like it uses strings (OLAP works way better over integral data, it sucks at strings) or that it's easy to scale. It is easy-ish under fixed

These are all poorly designed systems from a CX perspective (the billing systems). Billing is usually event driven. Each spending instance (e.g. API call) generates an event. Events go to queues/logs, aggregation is delayed. You get al

Ironically, most Iranians can't see the propaganda since they don't have internet access.

It's pretty but I don't know about better. - How do you pan? Two finger sliding on the trackpad just zooms. - Why does the diagram you're working on doesn't use all the remaining space? I picked one example and it's

Gemma4 is still power hungry since it tends to activate pretty much every weight. qwen3-coder-next uses a lot less since it seems to only activate ~3B parameters at a time. My guess is that this is still close to tech demo, and a lot of per

Try recovery periodically, I lost ~90% of my files on Backblaze when I needed them. They had a corrupted backup and no way to know it or to do anything about it.

Why should it increase linearly?? If your counter measures are effective, you would expect sub-linear growth, heck you should demand it! The security industry is so fucked up.

The over-simplification rubs me the wrong way, for example: Consider a team of eight engineers whose mission is to build and maintain an internal developer platform serving one hundred other engineers. This is a common organizatio

It's nothing revolutionary, essentially change your own process for another binary, but for this you need to take over the process in the first place which is usually the hard part. It's mildly interesting that they didn't ca

We have an oversupply of CS majors. Lot's of people came to the craft chasing the money. It's probably a good thing that the hype starts to die and we're seeing a market correction, hopefully back to a saner structure.

CUPS just worked, it even supports AirPrint natively now. Thankfully my printer supports IPP (it's an all in one office type), so I didn't have to do much other than install a couple packages, add the printer and configure the def

I got the 4K BD disk to watch with my kids a couple months ago and it has aged really well, particularly the special effects. It's a wonderful movie, definitely one of my favorites.

Posting my result here in case you want to see the different results without redoing the test: German 47% - Autistic 47% Wittgenstein was Austrian, which is close enough. He was also, by most accounts, someone whose relations

Production grade code is still expensive for any non-trivial product. I think it may be getting even more expensive. It gets even harder when there's an expectation that your products implement some sort of AI. Not an LLM necessarily,

Even if that's the case, it may be possible to make it up in sheer numbers. That's a 15 to 1 ratio. You can throw 15 missiles for the same price than 1. Even if they're 10% effective compared to the expensive ones, you may st

The Chinese YKJ-1000 is reported to cost $99000 per unit, is hypersonic and has a range of ~1300 KM. It's looking like the US needs some disruption on their armament suppliers, kinda what SpaceX did for space launches. Compare that to

Thank you, loved this and it made me "duh!". I have an old-ish Samsung laser printer that works perfectly and a Linux file server at home and the printer no longer supports AirPrint. I never thought about using the Linux box as an

You don't need that much for simpler models. Some can even run on a PI. Qwen3 and Gemma models are fairly capable, they are slow-ish (a few tokens per second) but will run. You can start building with cheap hardware and simple models,

I could never grok Noita, I spent many hours, but I can't get past the first part. There's definitely something about it that I'm not getting. In my experience getting healing is super rare and I end up dying eventually.

I love how the makers can "just disagree". I'm Argentinian and if ANMAT (our FDA) recalls something, it's gone, no involvement from the manufacturer really needed. They could revoke your license to make and sell food who
