   I downloaded 2GiB of data and let a script run for 56 hours. Besides a bit of my time, which I found to be enjoyable, it didn't cost me anything. Maybe you could argue it cost some electricity, but... In reality, it meant my computer,

   I did something similar with Whisper a year or so ago. 9 years ago, when my now wife and I were dating, we took a long cross-country road trip, and for a lot of it, we listened to NPR's Ask Me Another (a comedy trivia game). Anyway, on

   Have you seen the "average" users of LLM? They mostly don't care about hallucinations. It's like that joke[1] "Computer says no", it doesn't matter what is true or real, only that the computer said it, so

   If it really is PATA, my course of action would be to get a pata-to-cf adapter and get a fast and large CF card.

   You've got to look at ISO27001 from the perspective of the Sales Rep, not from an Engineer. In theory, being ISO27001 means that you're environment follows best practices and has a somewhat sane security posture. To the business p

   This is pretty funny in a dark way. They gave experimental commands full access to their private data. Data deletion is, in fact, the least concerning outcome here. On the bright side, this is a solid reminder to maintain proper backups. If

   I've noticed this with Claude Code recently. A few weeks ago, Claude was "amazing" in that I could feed it some context and a specification, and it could generate mostly correct code and refine it in a few prompts. Now, I can

   I love iodine. I used to do a lot of consulting work at locations with extremely locked down networks. I could use iodine + wireguard to punch through most firewalls, slow, but effective.

    Tarsnap seems very expensive. I'm backing up about 8TiB of data nightly using BorgBackup[0] + InterServer[1] and pay $240/yr. This gives me differential encrypted rotating backups that are 100% mine and do not lock me into any spe

    Yes. They said it was free then they surprise charge you $100k. That’s an insane amount of both money and stress. You’re at Amazon’s mercy if they will or will not refund it. And while this is in process you’re wondering if your entire fina

    For me, I'll always choose a device with standard, user-replaceable batteries over a built-in battery. 1) If the device battery is dead, I can swap it out in seconds and be up and running immediately. 2) Built-in batteries fail, and re

    It should also be mentioned, Linux Load Average is a complex beast[1]. However, a general rule of thumb that works for most environments is: You always want the load average to be less than the total number of CPU cores. If higher, you&#x27
