I've found the same with Mastadon. It has a pre-eternal-September feel to it.

Principal version: similar, but also says the only acceptable approach is to do it like they did it at their last company.

The biggest appeal of the frontier models is for those trying to get autonomous agentic systems running that do real work with minimal human input. I went down a rabbit hole trying that with frontier models, and after a lot of initial promi

I've been doing this as well. Occasionally I'll have a disc that fails to rip for some reason (maybe my drive is more sensitive to defects than my player is, or there's some stupid copy protection scheme), and then I'll

I'm absolutely certain that their marketing team has input on (if not owning) these announcements.

I'm running Lemonade on Nixos on my Framework Desktop. I had been trying other tools out before finding Lemonade, but Lemonade really made it plug-and-play.

I run Qwen 3.6 on my Framework Desktop 128GB, and it's very performant. I know Framework has had to raise the price since I preordered mine, but they're still well under half the cost of that Macbook.

I have a Thunderbolt 10Gbe adapter. It's a larger form factor than a Framework expansion card and it has a metal case, so it dissipates heat well. Copper 10Gbe chipsets generate a lot of heat.

I have a 5gbps symmetrical fiber connection at home, so I've spent a fair amount of time and money upgrading my homelab backbone to 10gbps. That includes a 10GBe connection to my desk, but I've had issues getting the connection to

Newspapers have always been written under the assumption that the entire article won't be read: articles start with the most important information, and get into more detail as the article progresses. The difference now is that we can t

The US system is biased this way, as well.

But by the time you're ready to be promoted to manager, you're usually at least senior-level, if not higher. No one is (or should be) getting promoted from junior to manager.

I'd expect that they're also managing their k8s config and other infra using LLMs (it's actually quite good at this, at least for my simple homelab use-cases).

This is almost certainly a software issue, though. Even if it's due to scaling, they still built a system that failed catastrophically rather than degrading gracefully.

Do you go into a park every day of that month? I found I was peopled-out after a week.

I remember trying to reach CNN.com on a school library computer. Eventually CNN put up a lightweight version that scaled better.

In most of the world, healthcare isn't tied to your employment. In the United States, healthcare access for working-age people is practically inaccessible* without a full-time job. * Yes, Medicaid exists, but finding providers that acc

In the United States, healthcare is a major factor, especially if you have a family.

Would engineers purposefully game the metric, though?

I think the difference is that many data centers are being built as cheaply as possible, with no regards for noise prevention, their effect on the energy grid, etc. Data centers have been located near people for decades, but most of them ar

My challenge has been trying to manage my higher-level context. I've gotten a pretty good setup where I have project-level orchestrator agents that can spin up workers to implement tasks with minimal oversight, and the resulting work i

Maybe in some dystopian future. But right now there are still plenty of humans in the loop for supporting those machines.

This is one of the main reasons that Amazon is my default online merchant, despite all of my reservations with them: a purchase won't increase the amount of marketing email I receive. I don't know how much spam they send to new ac

My Framework Desktop with 128GB was about half that. I did luck out by buying before RAM prices went crazy, though. I'm looking forward to the fallout when the data center bubble bursts. There's a good possibility we'll see a

What's the context for bringing this up now? Looks like he was acquitted.

I use ChatGPT on occasion for certain tasks. But when I'm doing a web search, I want a web search without AI.

Actually, I can more than imagine it. I have friends that are in those situations, and help out when I can.
