   I certainly take advantage of BitTorrent mirrors for downloading Debian ISOs, as they are generally MUCH faster.

   I assume it’s simply the lack of the inbuilt “universal client” that http enjoys, or that devs tend to have with ssh/scp. Not that such a client (even an automated/scripted CLI client) would be so difficult to setup, but then trac

   I spent the better part of a month doing just this. Really fascinating. There are also several public satellite imagery repos (mostly European sources, but they’re satellites, so they aren’t limited to Europe).

    My understanding is that IQ tests can measure a type of intelligence, but fixation on its narrow metrics can lead one to overlook other attributes that are just as likely to be relevant, but aren’t something that necessarily shows up in sta

    Ah, I was hoping this would teach me the maths to start understanding the economics surrounding LLMs. That’s the really impossible stuff.

    AI wastes a lot more than time. I hope these lawsuits make investors run full-speed from the whole lot of it, and this entire cursed industry collapses in on itself with all of its incestuous nonsense economic sleight-of-hand currently sett

    LLMs are very different. All of the other things you mentioned found wide, eager adoption among the broader public within two years.

    Yes, this is what’s happening. I think it pretty well speaks for itself. It’s almost entirely hype. It’s got significant utility, just nowhere near enough utility to justify its astronomical costs and wastefulness.

    I do think Wikipedia is something of a marvel of an online community. It's certainly got plenty of warts, but it's managed to remain broadly effective and focused on its mission. It's one of the last remaining vestiges of the

    I agree with you, but is awareness among that cohort really the problem? “Planned obsolescence” is engineered by tech people, after all. It certainly wasn’t divine intervention that came up with internal Li-Ion batteries (IMHO the most braz

    I just learned about git-annex, which provides more options for storage > git-annex is not git-lfs, which also uses git smudge filters, and appears to lack git-annex's widely distributed storage and partial checkouts.[1] htt

    I've been doing this for years, I also use git for graphic design projects. I know it was invented for software development, but I have found it to be quite capable for document management, just generally. Using branches for remixes or
