I think the easy answer is: because there are customers there. It’s a region full of major commercial and industrial companies. I can imagine that you’d want data centers close to where those customer are. Technically, I can see challenges

I thought PPC was supposed to be highly performant, but not very efficient. I didn’t think ARM (at least non-Apple ARM) was hitting that level of performance yet. I thought ARM was by far more efficient, but not quite there in terms of raw

I think they see customers wanting to have the flexibility to move to ARM and this is the fastest way to say they support ARM workloads. Maybe this is a path for IBM to eventually use ARM chips down the road, but I see this as being more ab

I’ve said it before here, but my mind was swayed after talking with a product manager about AI coding. He offhandedly commented that “he’s been vibe coding for years, just with people”. He wasn’t thinking much about it at the time, but it r

While we’re talking about filtering — is there a way to set a WHERE clause when you’re setting up the index? I’ve been working on this a lot recently for a hybrid vector search in pg. One of the things that I’m running up against is setting

I think it comes down to the standard argument against ZFS on linux -- uncertainty. It works *now*. Will it continue to work? Will any upstream changes in the Linux kernel cause issues with the ZFS modules bolted on top? It is unlikely for

If you're evaluating VM hosts (proxmox, hyper-V, vmware, etc...) You need to have support for nested virtualization all the way down. Otherwise, if you want to evaluate a VM infrastructure, you need to start with bare-metal. Really, yo

And even for big news events (which, this might qualify as), people can miss the first discussion. Even if the discussions end up merged later on, the different discussions can still be fruitful. Which is why, even if it is a duplicate conv

This still is running in an isolated container, right? Ignoring the confidentiality arguments posed here, I can’t help to think about snapshotting filesystems in this context. Wouldn’t something like ZFS be an obvious solution to an agent d

What I've been trying is to have a sort of nested memory system. I think it's important to try to keep a running log of short-term memory that can be recalled by specific memory, in context of what other things was going on or we

TrueNAS is also a NAS distribution and it has pretty good support for containers and VMs, so I’m not that surprised. They generally expect to be individual all-in-one type of servers.

Isn’t it possible to proxy LLM communication and strip out unwanted MCP tool calls from conversations? I mean if you’re going to ban MCPs, you’re probably banning any CLI tooling too, right?

I’m willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on this. Because this sounds like a legitimately difficult problem to solve. But what is the use case here? How often do agents need to get an email address? What’s the argument for letting

It's really a good idea. I've spend a little time on the sidelines as a coach (and parent and ref, but that's another story) and one thing that I think is crazy is the differences in what you think you can affect, and what

I could see this being a very eye opening game if you added "Fan" and "Parent" modes. In "fan" mode nothing you said would affect the game, although maybe a player would laugh once in a while. In "parent&q

If someone is going to put that much effort into to it, let them. I think the ideas here are to try to get some low hanging fruit to see if that works “good enough”. You’ll never block all AI generated accounts, but you may not have to and

Pen input is the one factor that forced one of my kids to a Windows laptop for school (a Surface Pro). It was a required feature for his school. Seeing how much he uses it for note taking, I get it. So yes, drawing is a key feature for scho

This is a cool demo, but it tells me that CSS might be too complex now. Why should you be able to emulate a CPU with a styling language? I’m not sure what you get by using a Turing complete language for visual styling.

I didn’t mean that it was a reasonable cost, only a reasonable estimate of the cost. Childcare in the US is way more expensive than it should be. The costs are also highly location dependent with the coasts being much more expensive than th

The devil is in the details. The crux of the article is in these two lines: > Across the U.S., the average annual cost of care for an infant and a 4-year-old is $28,190, according to Child Care Aware of America. The U.S. Department of H

If you were already setup as a non-profit entity with 501c3 US taxes (or similar in other locales), this would be straightforward. Or, even if you were a for-profit company taking part with an LLC or other corporate structure. In those case

I’m speculating here, but I think this is at least a plausible explanation. There is no guarantee that the pull request will be accepted. And the new commit has to live somewhere. When you require a fork, the commit is stored in the submitt

That’s the trick in your system — all commits have to be completely independent. Generally mine aren’t, so unless we want to review each minor commit, they get squashed. I can see merit in your suggestion, but it does require some disciplin

I don’t know how you have an open source code base allowing for new devs to submit pull requests and block bulk PR submissions. It seems like an impossible needle to thread. It doesn’t even sound like it’s necessarily automated agents makin

I also check for the License of a project when I'm looking at a project for the first time. I usually only look at that information once, but it should be easily viewed. I also look for releases if it's a program I want to install

Is this the start of a more frequent code-migrations out of Github? For years, the best argument for centralizing on Github was that this was where the developers were. This is where you can have pull requests managed quickly and easily bet
