Online reviews were broken, likewise search results. Companies will try to figure out what are the sources used for LLM algos learning and try to poison them. Or they will be able to buy "paid results" that are mentioning their pr

Well, from what see the authors exchanged AWS managed Kubernetes cluster with self-hosted Kubernetes cluster on Talos Linux. Question is if $449.50/month paid for AWS will cover additional work needed for self-hosting.

But in this case the reason is simple: the core algorithm is O(n^2), this not going to be improved over a few weeks.

Intuitively, this is understood and I was wondering about that. LLM algorithm is just predicting next "token" in the series of tokens. LLM are trained on huge data sets, so probability differences between choosing token A and B ar

I keep wondering how all of this ICE stuff will eventually play out. Number of illegal emigrants in the USA is estimated to be between 11-20 millions. How much does it cost to send ICE team after a single emigrant? Then holding this emigran

I use Zettlr. It just manages and indexes bare Mardkown files put on the disk. I keep my notes on Synology and that's all.

I've looked yesterday on replit. It used to be such a nice tool to play with various languages, be able to create a, say, python file, share it with students, etc. Now you are welcomed by a "AI chat" that wants me to specify

It's year 2025. You just open company in Brazil or Argentina and you can purchase whatever you want. Before 1989 communistic countries were overcoming CoCom restrictions in this way. Russia is doing this successfully since 2014. Surely

For me, as a parent, YT has clear issues, for instance I am not able to block the channel, so no video from the channel can be viewed by kid. The only way is to add channel to "don't recommend" list, which is not working.

Well, it is very easy to get video demonetized on YT, it is enough to use one of the forbidden words, like Israel. Another thing are shadowbans. I see more and more people are trying to have side channel for the monetization, like Patreon.

Well, I hoped too. The problem is that "lightweight" are not that lightweight, as they need garbage collection. So, in theory, one can create 100K threads on one machine, but in practice that's going to keep burning processor

Well, apparently Western Europe is not only buying Russian oil and gas, but they decided to buy some ideas from Wowa Putin. Who cares... until European Union will try to make that their regulation.

I've looked on FoundationDB and on paper it looks great. But it never got momentum, like, say, MongoDB. Is this just a matter of hype or it is not that great as advertised?

Unfortunately 1* are often bragging of some maniacs who bought a fork and they complain it is not working great as a spoon, or just black PR from the competitors. Whole reviews system is not working.

This does not scale at all. For hobbyist with no kids, sure, spend your time turning old phone for some fancy doorbell, etc. But for normals? Who would maintain such equipment, who would be in charge of testing if the battery will not get o

This is called war chest. Because the war is coming. II World War hasn't started with German attacking Poland 1.IX.1939 and Russia (Soviet Union) on 17.IX.1939. There was Spanish Civil War earlier (1936), annexation of the Sudetenland

What an interesting piece of history. Imagine times when users were reading user manuals for the software/hardware they used. RTFM is already a thing of the past.

Plus there was a lot of "low hanging fruit" from the war time that was yet to be "productify", as we say today. Radars, computers (Enigma crushers), lasers, many less visible inventions that had a great impact in say, ma

Well, I have asked LLM to fix some piece of Python Django code so it uses pagination for the list of entities. And LLM came up with the working solution, impressively complicated piece of Django ORM code, which was totally needles, as Djang

This list is kind of strange. Firstly, it is very "anglo-saxon" oriented. It is a mixture of "Big Literature", interesting for someone who is literature student, like ULYSSES (which is at the same time a great novel and

Yes, search engines were not hiding, as it was website owner interest involved here as well - without those search bots their sites would not be indexed and searchable in the Internet. So there was kind of win-win situation, in most typical

What if you don't have a credit card? This solves nothing, the good way to do this is as system like Polish "MojeID" (my ID) [1]. This works in the following way, a site needs to verify information X, then it redirects users

Even Microsoft managed to figure that out and if Teams or Outlook get new look, there is an option to use it or switch back to the old one.

The answer is in the American political system. First, USA is not a country, it is a union of states that are quite independent and at the dawn of the USA central government was avoiding enforcement of too much regulation, as states were ve
