AlphaGo, Watson, Stockfish, Eliza. I can name so many of the interesting stuff and each new LLM just comes and goes.

To be honest, I feel that the ceiling is higher in Windows. I just today dealt with a faulty HP Printer driver that caused wuauserv (Windows Update) to report that I had to reboot every day. Finding which files were corrupted in `C:\Windows

Why are so many people invoking Thundering Herd without the RCA from the vendors? I just find it so intriguing.

> I don't even have a pricing page, i try to see how much i get can from each client, from $5/mo to $100/mo That seems ethical. Vibes based fees.

I too like running the same kernel for months on end. Just kidding, I restart periodically, especially when there's a kernel patch. To those who worship uptime, how many kmods do you have loaded? Must be nice not subscribing to openwal

I'm still rocking my nvidia 2060, which I had purchased for $400 at the time. I struggle to imagine purchasing multiple 1k+ cards on my own dime.

I'm a bit surprised that this kind of incredibly engineered hyperconverged rack system isn't doing some form of liquid cooling.

Not only that, but do you really want to be handling the contract negotiations, sales, business taxes, insurance, and everything else? Being a sole-proprietorship means doing things you aren't skilled in and, most likely, not intereste

The referenced gap is the supposed numeracy of developers 5 years ago and developers today, whether they be junior or senior developers. There is a strong downward trend toward decreasing numeracy in high school graduates and it has existed

For an MDM managed computer (JAMF I know for sure), it can be configured that way per a company policy. I am not 100% sure of the answer for a computer not managed by JAMF as I have not experienced a forced update while using a non-MDM mana

You just don't have to think about it too hard: jjplace/jjhub/codetown, whatever. Doesn't matter. Names don't matter that much for brands. Names just have to be simple enough to remember (ideally two syllables or le

And, interestingly for Oxide, rack scale solutions from HW vendors might not be suited for your company's workload. Their solution isn't all-in on AI, from what I understand.

You mean you don't have that issue anymore? I'm jealous.

Agreed. Its more reminiscent of Cloudstack or Openstack from what I gather. I'm thinking of Jetstream2, but for you buy it rather than rent some of it with an NSF budget.

> ... as a synonym for "incident report" People should stop using it as a synonym, then. The Latin effectively means "after death", meaning its a poor synonym for "what happened wrong recently".

Why would you want to make a podcast then? You don't need to offer a sub-optimal product if you don't want to make it.

That's good to hear. The intolerance to non-guix (or, possibly, my perception that it was intolerance) made me shy away from the project. This was especially so because I use repaired devices with proprietary HW that would otherwise ha

I'm having trouble with this one due to a lack of experience, but if there is no consensus between the two parties, my assumption would be that you trust neither and ask again. Why is that not the case in a split-brain scenario here? D

Its not impossible that someday a new non-chromium browser reaches feature parity (or close enough) with the chromium browsers. At that point, Google could stop worrying about funding Firefox's development.

I agree with you. I believe it speaks to the power of social proof as well as the time pressures most developers find themselves with. In non-coding social circles, social proof is even more accepted. So, I think that for a large portion of

I love the idea of nushell. Do you have any worry about the lack of portability of having and becoming so familiar with such a tool that you become reliant on it? I have this feeling with most things that are not the "default", es
