I am curious about the methods used by these early astronomers. TFA mentions Chinese astronomers observing sunspots in the third century BCE. How? Did they use a camera obscura, too? It also casually mentions "reconstructions based on

Has anyone taken apart the llama community license and compared it to validated open source licenses? Red Hat is making a big deal about releasing the Granite LLM released under Apache. Is there a real difference between that and what Llama

Which is why it's so important for teams to agree with management on a definition of "done" well in advance, to avoid this kind of argument later. Also why it's important for management to understand that velocity/e

The part that really gets ME about that thought, is that those glib psychopaths/sociopaths fill an important role in human society, generally as leaders. I'm sure we can all think of some prominent political figures who are very g

Schumann believed it was a form of syphilis which causes progressive deafness, then a period before death of wonderful clarity, like the whole world is verging on a great revelation of unity and you are the carrier. This is a real form of s

Better than just reading the letter is to listen to the musical change in Beethoven's works. Beethoven's music is usually divided into 3 periods. The first is really classical sounding, like late Mozart. In fact, Beethoven was a f

Clearly inferior to the "crawl inside the cover" method. Where's the step where I chase my partner around the room making ghostly "woo woo" noises?

yes, that is exactly the topic discussed in the book. To what extent is this narrative, and to what extent determinism, is exactly the discussion _around_ the book. Seems like an area of interest for you which is why I recommended it. Defin

It has been a very long time since I read GGS, but I can tell you haven't yet... and judging from this comment I bet you would find it fascinating. To give a top-of-my-foggy-memory answer to your question about industrialization, here

It's not an easy fap, but I guess I'm watching people get f*cked either way.

It's ok to make short sighted investment decisions based on current market position, especially when one of your biggest bets from the last decade is striking gold in a big way, and you need all hands on deck to reap maximum strategic

Some of his early work as a producer was also for the NBC Opera Theater and Firestone Hour TV shows, which broadcast great performances of classical music and (you guessed it) opera.

You are speaking about different objectives. Quite apart from the basic "(how) does it work logically" which published formulas address, simplicity can be an objective in itself. For example, Germany has one of the most complex in

NGL I think this one has passed the point on the tech maturityc curve where it makes sense to roll your own I played with MS office's copilot builder the other day and it's amazing. Point it at a set of base URLs, uploaded files,

Actually there are a few LLM wrappers around that use the openai API spec (localai is a good one)... so you could just allow a configurable openai endpoint URI and technically users can swap in any model.

Heavyweight? I run it (with all the collab suite features, photo galleries, and ai integrations) on a single RPi4 along with several other applications. But then I only have a handful of users...

I have a Pi3 running pihole/dhcp for my home network, and 4 Pis as part of my home k3s cluster (along with 3 cheapo nucs). Yes it's overkill but I'm in infra and I learn a lot from it. The cluster runs nextcloud, collabora, p

There's no shortage of projects for this, particularly enby, jellyfin, and kodi spring to mind. The only real challenges are GPU transcoding support, app selection for integration of services like Spotify, amazon prime streaming, and n

Not so inflammatory at the time. Those were wild days. Someone else posted his CIO article about "just enough compliance", but IIRC there were talk summaries and interviews around, too. And for the comedy factor: those hacks were

Many times. Before the first high profile hacks (that I remember) in 2011, Sony's CTO made a career of giving high profile talks about, essentially, reducing your IT budget by not doing security. Don't do pentests, don't do a

I love my Remarkable 2 for sheet music. Just the right size for me, and easy to use the pen to annotate my scores. The scores all have to be PDF, but that seems to be what everyone uses anyway. Plus I'm a classical musician so lots of

Can I get an ELI5 for how we can use words like "slower" about time? In my mind "slower" and "faster" are comparisons within a timeframe. How can something be slower than something else unless they both exis

Photoprism is great, but Nextcloud's "memories" app is even a step better, especially if you already have a Nextcloud install. Definitely pair with their "recognize" app, which does the AI tagging and face recogniti

Sad but true. And to make matters worse, those seem to be the same environments where businesspeople make target dates without engineering, and then get angry when the deadlines aren't met. Put another way, poor management is a human l

So many +1s for you. I want to add that if the team is focusing on the present, it becomes clear that estimation is a passive, descriptive (rather than active, proscriptive) act. No ticket has time pressure on it. The manager predicts the f

TFA goes right into the core complexity and misses it. "Dev environment" depends on what kind of work you are doing. What a web developer needs is worlds apart from what a driver developer needs in terms of capability, resourcing,
