Theoretically, since you have three drives you want one drive to be with writeback. This way you could double the speed of your writes.

I expect that they run their containers more isolated as virtual machines. So they have bigger problems of there is a breakout possible.

Correct, I think it is better to see it as multiple stages. Investigation stage might spin off tasks to read files, perform searches online, summarise the request. Then ‘main stage’ where it performs changes. Afterwards indeed the testing+f

A good television interface is certainly still missing on Linux. Now you either choose Android TV (which doesn’t run nicely with x86), or Steam big screen (which is missing the more media parts). But with very powerful and affordable mini P

It helps when the agent automatically uses diagnostics, logs, and tests. If it resolves two or three problems by itself, that saves you the effort of doing so.

Note that the Odroid H3 with an Intel N5105 can do less than 2W< idle, which is competitive with the RPI5. The next generation H4 is even more efficient.

In practice, flights.google.com doesn't know the price of a luggage. So you might think a Easyjet/Ryanair ticket is cheaper, but I have had situations where actually after adding the luggage for every passenger the normal airline

It would make sense to have a 'resource update/delete' approval workflow, where a MCP server can have an o-auth link just to approve the particular step.

Wow, the original logo from 1996 looks so good. It is like every release they redesigned the previous logo and the current logo is deep-fried.

The key is that manual coding for a normal task takes a one/two weeks, where-as if you configure all your prompts/agents correctly you could do it in a couple of hours. As you highlighted, it brings many new issues (code quality,

I think many firms already have (faster) 'sentiment' tools that parse news messages and automatically trade on those. I don't think a LLM can compete on speed which such tools. But a LLM could build a knowledge graph that par

But if you look to the Hofstede's Six Cultural Dimensions, you can see that European cultures are geared toward Long-Term Orientation (compared to the Short-Term from USA). In long-term thinking, why can you not wait two years before d

Airbnb is great for smaller places though. I was looking at some smaller Italian cities and there are mostly traditional b&b's, plus a couple of hotels. So the Airbnb's blend in well, and I think it is too small to really dest

Deny-listing/banning bad crawlers is fine. Especially if they ignore the robots.txt. But allow-listing particular crawlers only is collusion.

I find it unethical for a website robots.txt to allow-list particular search engines and ban all others. Essentially you are colluding with established search providers.

I have personally followed the same strategy, but at the expense of my ‘career development’. Trying to perform well or getting a promotion can be a lot of unproductive effort. I think the only downside of 100% uniformity is that you don’t h

Supply chains are incredibly complex. Even if a supplier is based in the U.S., they might be reselling Chinese-made goods. When tariffs hit or restrictions are imposed, those suppliers may simply stop selling the affected products. That can
