I had a short story idea where explorers come across a planet full of ancient ruins and gentle unintelligent beasts. It turns out that to survive the great filter the sentient life on the planet deprogrammed themselves of all sentience and

No mention of their alignment strategy, if any. I feel like alignment is even more important in open models since it’ll be much easier to train a “but evil” version, right?

Dance, Dance, Dance which is a “sequel” to Wild Sheep Chase is my favorite, followed by WUNC and then HBW/EOW. Total aside but has anyone found good Murakami-esque movies or TV Shows? Parts of The Leftovers actually gave me the same fe

Ya this analogy really clicked with me. To really torture the analogy, Apple or any other TSMC customers hands them an .obj of their chip, and TSMC acts as the slicer and converts that into the GCode that ASML’s “printers” understand. And j

The last strace output (where the author mentions logging) made me think: are there any logging frameworks that’s use io_uring? Seems like a potentially good way to lower logging overhead without adding a lot of buffering to the logging fr

I highly recommend “walking to lunch”. Assuming you eat at home just pick a certain location nearby to walk to and back either before or after you eat, tying it to lunch made it more reliable, at least for me. I don’t do it anymore now that

Another aside: after going through the first two exercises I got to thinking: is there anything out there that's like "Caddy For Distributed Systems"? By which I mean is there a framework (ideally for Go) where I could "

Total aside but thank you for discussing the term “sequentially consistent” that’s the exact thing I was searching for just a couple weeks ago but didn’t know what to call it (I was searching for monotonically consistent). Gonna have to giv

If each network also had unique dns services, then I think in theory you could run a split horizon DNS server on the middleman that rewrites results from the other network as the “alt” address. E.g. in the example middleman could rewrite a

My possibly apocryphal understanding is that i18n and l10n both arose due to differences in American and British spellings of both words (z or s in the suffix). Simplifying “localization/localisation” to l10n saves more than 8 charact

I’m curious why they bothered to add two microSD cards, but I wonder if that somehow actually makes the hack easier? Like maybe the firmware only needs to be patched in one spot to report a fake size when running in “RAID” mode?

I have a (thankfully mild) inherited retina disorder. If you read the part about lasers and eye damage it’s basically that, but the “lasers” are faulty genes rather than anything external causing the eye damage. And I can verify that at fir
