They had a bug in the database they are using that was due to a Go system library not behaving correctly specifically on illumos. They've got enough engineering power to deal with such a thing but damn..

This true for other hypervisors too. Enterprises are still paying hundreds of millions to VMware, who knows what's going on in there? I wouldn't have picked Opensolaris, but it's a lot better than other vendors that are eithe

Rust is an excellent follow up to those languages. It's got many influences from Haskell, but is designed to solve for a very different task that's not yet in your repertoire so you'll learn a ton. And yes the Python interop

This is a nitpick and not pertinent to anything, but base64 encoding your password could make it stronger. Password strength is not just about entropy, high entropy is simply the most effective way of making your password stronger. If your

Oh this is amazing. I bought my Reface DX second hand and the previous owner had put in a whole bunch of very cool patches. I often let my 16 month old daughter jam on it, and a couple weeks ago she managed to factory reset the thing so now

How does it compare to the Reface DX? It's also 4-op and I think you can change the waveforms because I have a patch that's clearly a sawtooth. I only just got into synthesizers and the Reface DX is so much fun to play with on the

If you click what looks like the link to the privkey it shows a warning encouraging you to not revoke the key with LetsEncrypt. I suppose a *.traefik.me is as untrustworthy as any other you don't the owner of, so it doesn't really

If you're purchasing gross lumber here in The Netherlands it is definitely priced per m3. For example here: https://inlands-hout.nl/houtsoorten-en-prijslijst/ Just like with board feet it doesn't say anything

I'm working on an idea that I'm submitting to YC this year. AI is revolutionizing the field I'm most passionate about, I feel like it would be a waste if I didn't even try to make a contribution at what's possibly t

Not the US, but here real estate developers are complaining that modern stringent building code requirements (i.e. gas free, highly insulated) combined with high labor costs make it so that it is infeasible to build lower income housing. I

At the place I played as a kid someone had pinned a black lotus to a notice board with a dart. I was too young so I don't remember the full story, but I remember it was funny because the card would've been worth over a hundred dol

It's not about privacy, it's about security. If there's a backdoor in a HSM or network interface, that backdoor can be used by others as well. That might start with foreign nation states, but might eventually leak to regular

I'm not pointing fingers at other consumers, I'm just pointing out the sort of things that have impact. I eat out regularly, I have a transcontinental flight planned for a holiday with my family this year. And I'm sure I&#x27

Climate change is not some game where the goal is to enact petty revenge on people who are trying to lose the game. It's not about accountability, it's about stopping climate change so our current biomes don't degrade. Direct

Do you think that private jets and yachts are a significant portion of CO2? First of all, such things are of the top 0.1%, not the 10%. You need to be thinking of more mundane things. As someone on this forum you very likely belong to the t

Every slot system I've ever seen eventually implemented multiple named slots. Often after first only supporting one slot, then multiple unnamed slot and then finally the whole shebang. Why go through that whole progress again with Nue?

It could, and they are. But that's only relevant if you're running the model locally. If the model is being ran at scale, then throughput matters and GPU's would be king still.

With inference they mean the dominance in purchasing will change from the producers to the consumers of machine learning models. Right now everyone is buying hardware to produce machine learning models (aka training) and at some point the a

Can I add one more nice to have? Good support for graph data. I'm not 100% certain on it yet, but there's a lot of ideas surrounding storing knowledge as a graph out there and it makes a lot of intuitive sense. I haven't foun

That's not how LLM's work. LLM's complete documents, they don't make statements about LLM's unless you explain to them how they should do it and give them all the information they need. If you could extract the info

We wouldn't know how to construct those matrices because we don't know where in the layers what knowledge is represented. One thing that helps a little bit is freezing the lower layers, so at least the model won't forget its

If the excuse is true and the "ornate" language really is a dense representation of information then it should be fairly trivial to have an LLM agent unsummarize it. There could be a webservice that offers a parallel track of laym

Why do you have the intuition that a dense embedding space could preserve full semantic meaning? From what I understand from embeddings is that they are inherently lossy. At least with a textual summary you could have an agent verify the su

Buying offsets is not shifting the blame, it's paying someone else to fix the problem. The reason for that should be that you either have no cost effective way to offset the carbon yourself, or there is a very attractive market for the

I really wanted to love Python. As a Ruby programmer I thought Python would be like Ruby, but with a prettier syntax because of the syntactic white space. Unfortunately this turned out not to be the case. Here's my gripes with Python a
