How is this reasonable? At what point do they pull a Dropbox and de-AWS? I can’t think of why they would gain with AWS over in house hosting at that point. I’m not surprised, but you’d think there would be some point where they would decide

I’d bet that main reason would be power. Running machines at 100% doesn’t subtract much extra , but a server running hard for 24 hours would use more power than a bursty workload. (While we’re all speculating)

What's the line from Contact? why build one when you can have two at twice the price? But, if you're building a datacenter for $5M, spending $10-15M for redundant datacenters (even with extra networking costs), would still be ch

Low is good if you are also adding more humidity back in. If you want to maintain 45-50% (guessing), then you would want <45% environmental humidity so that you can raise it to the level you want. You're right about avoiding stati

Only for some use cases. I don’t think the parent is arguing for forcing compaction. I’d personally use this with periodic compaction (cronjob), but I can see the utility either way.

Not to get into an iOS vs Android thing, because that’s not the point (it’s okay to appreciate both or neither, you do you). But this is one of the things I really would love to have on my iPhone that I’m jealous of the Android ecosystem fo

It’s not the time that’s the friction. It’s the choice . The student has to actively take the picture and upload it. It’s a choice. It takes more effort than reading the autogenerated summary that Google Drive or Copilot helpfully made for

It’s not theater. It introduces friction into the process. And when there is friction in both choices (read the paper, or take a photo and upload the picture), you’ll get more people reading the physical paper copy. If students want to jump

Cities can largely do what they want. They can deny applications for whatever reason they want. Citizen concerns are very important here (they need to keep voters happy to keep their jobs). But their main mandate is to protect the public go

That’s not quite the point. I’m a bit of an outlier, I don’t drive much daily, but make long trips fairly often. The point with focusing on 500,000 miles is that that should be enough of an observation period to be able to make some compari

The more I think about your comment on statistics, the more I change my mind. At first, I think you’re right - these are (thankfully) rare events. And because of this, the accident rate is Poisson distributed. At this low of a rate, it’s re

It seems to me that jargon would tend to be defined in one language and minimally adapted in other languages. So I’d not sure that would be much of a concern.

I recently had Codex convert an script of mine from bash to a custom, Make inspired language for HPC work (think nextflow, but an actual language). The bash script submitted a bunch of jobs based on some inputs. I wanted this converted to u

I was talking to a product manager a couple weeks ago about this. His response: most managers have been vibecoding for long time. They've just been using engineers instead of LLMs.

I can’t really take this too seriously. This seems to me to be a case of asking “can an LLM do X?” Instead, the question is like to see is: “I want to do X, is an LLM this right tool?” But that said, I think the author missed something. LLM

But isn't the end goal with Oxide to run primarily Linux(/Windows?) VMs on an Illumos host? Are there any workloads (other than as a VM host) that run on SunOS derived OSes?

Especially as if someone is able to capture ifconfig data, they can probably send a curl request to a malicious web server and expose the NAT IP as well.

Not the OP, but I’m assuming they meant end-to-end-encryption. The company (customer) would be able to see their chats, but the provider (Dock) would not. I don’t think you’d need to have the encryption on a per-user level, but you could. T

Yes. I probably should have included the link. I stated using devcontainers through VSCode and find them incredibly helpful. It’s great for me to be able to load up exact coding environments on different computers. But, I only used them thr

by mbreese 9mo ago
As a note, running devcontainers in VSCode is easy, but not required. There is also a CLI tool that uses the same specifications. You can install it with brew or npm.

I don’t think it is the LLM companies want anyone to believe they are powerless. I think the LLM companies would prefer it if you didn’t think this was a problem at all. Why else would we stay to see Agents for non-coding work start to get

In my experience, anytime someone suggest that it’s possible to “just” do something, they are probably missing something. (At least, this is what I tell myself when I use the word “just”) If you tag your inputs with flags like that, you’re

I would rather they published nothing. There is no need to make any of this public. Just stop selling Adafruit products and stop selling to Adafruit. If anyone asks, then you can say "we don't do business with them any longer&quot

I’m sympathetic to this idea, but there is no LLM training data for how to access random data like this using a filesystem through a FUSE interface. Yes, it should be able to generically use a filesystem, but there has to be a better way to

I used to do the same thing with a full RPi4. I’m pretty sure that was the first non-pi zero that worked in gadget mode. I was trying to make an attached Linux machine for my iPad instead of using a cloud VM. It was pretty effective, but at

The point is the travel. If you have the time, then this would have been a great way to see a lot of the world. It's a bit of an adventure by itself. I can't say it would have been very comfortable, so I guess it would be trading
