Annoying to see slop like this on the front page taking up people's attention. Resource utilization connected to new infrastructure that is planned to be scaled exponentially is clearly important to analyze. Instead of research and ins

It's frustrating to see how shortsighted and tech-illiterate politicians are on these topics. This article from Norway today presents the attitude of the minister of digitization as simply "Social media companies are making billio

Agreed - $255 sounded too good to be true. Fingers crossed it doesn't end up too crazy, because that chassis looks good!

I'm amazed looking at the upgrade kit. It's everything you need to go from the old 13" to the Pro; including chassis, display, battery, keyboard etc - listed at $255. That's an instant buy from me. https://fra

Garage has worked well for me and gives a good sense of stability. They provide helm charts for deployment and a CLI. There's also very few concepts to learn to start to use it, while e.g. for SeaweedFS I feel like you need to parse a

Got curious to see whether SymPy could be used to evaluate the expressions, so I used Claude Code to build a quick evaluator. Numeric and symbolic results appear to agree: nix run github:pveierland/eml-eval EML Evaluator — em

They have an annoying sandbox issue which pollutes your repository root with a set of empty files. Not the cleanest tool, but the paradigm is a big upgrade to previous AI coding. .bash_profile .bashrc .claude .env .gitconfig .gitmodul

When correctness is important I much prefer having strong types for most primitives, such that the name is focused on describing semantics of the use, and the type on how it is represented: struct FileNode { parent: NodeIndex&

This is something I noticed in the xAI All Hands hiring promotion this week as well. None of the 9 teams presented is a safety team - and safety was mentioned 0 times in the presentation. "Immense economic prosperity" got 2 shout-

Yep! However the problem will increase by many orders of magnitude as the volume of generated content far surpasses the content created by autocorrect mechanisms, in addition to autocorrect being a far more local modification that does not

One bothersome aspect of generative assistance for personal and public communication not mentioned is that it introduces a lazy hedge, where a person can always claim that "Oh, but that was not really what I meant" or "Oh, bu

Why do you think this is substantial? The software built in these repos is not tied to GitHub. Git is decentralized and using a self-hosted instance of Gitea / Forgejo will give you a replacement for the essential parts of GitHub. GitH

I'm hopeful that it can work if: - The top-down mandate is very general: e.g. "default to using or contributing to open standards, protocols, file formats, and interoperability". - It's applied across many nations and or

That sucks. I've been running the paid version for years - however it's clear that it hasn't been properly maintained for a while and it suffers from sporadic crashes. Any recommendations for launchers that are functionally s

You could also flip that and talk about the risks of when your gasoline supply get shut down due to some event. With an EV stack you can generate your power locally and add resilience that way.

One of the big risks for manufacturers seem to be that EVs are fundamentally more compatible with automated production and allows simplifications to the car stack. It would seem that the costs and risks of the keeping the ICE stack alive wi

I believe this is wrong for many topics. The news media is strongly incentivized to sensationalize and continuously produce content for their readers and viewers. Wikipedia is able to cover many topics that are less contested in a slower an

When using the OpenTelemetry Collector you might need a set of modules not supported by a standard distribution, e.g. the otelcol-k8s variant but with some extra exporter from otelcol-contrib. I found building such a custom distribution a b

Rust runs quite well today via WebAssembly. Continuing to improve interop between Web API / WASM / language runtimes seems like a good route that allows people to use the language they prefer against shared Web APIs.

What's really neat is that most of the problems are so compact that you can just read about the full problem, then spend hours and days thinking about possible solutions. I created a PDF version that I keep on my Remarkable for puzzlin

Where do I mistake quality for difficulty? My statement was that the quality of Wikipedia overall is high, and that one of the reasons for that is because they set and enforce standards for contributions. Certainly many people are put off b

I took it as a statement that it is prohibitively difficult to contribute to Wikipedia, and wanted to point out that a large number of contributions are being made and the resulting quality being high, in part due to the difficulty of makin
