This is so self aggrandizing for the AI community. The military has tanks, guns, ships, cruse missiles, satellites, and nuclear weapons capable of ending life on earth but now we're supposed to tremble at the might of AI that is doing

Does an MX record make it a “database of convenience”? You don’t have to serve any of those records. I’m not saying there isn’t a problem with email but just that it’s not a problem with DNS.

I’m going to send this to anyone the next time I hear, “oh no! AI has a big carbon footprint!” The solution isn’t going to be by going back but going as quickly forward as we can go. The only question is if we can go fast enough that our pa

Yes. All true. I just hate the coax in my house. It pisses me off every time I see there they installed it by just drilling a hole in the facade.

There’s something even better than MOCA. Black electrical tape. You tape the cat5 to the end of the coax and then pull really hard and then you get great performance.

What I like best about XSLT is that it reminds me that someone thought this was a great idea. They went so far as to declare it as “the way” and everyone should use it everywhere. There were conferences, books, blogs, everything. Anyone who

I have a question about bird songs in general. Why is a chorus of birds sound so pleasant and not cacophonous? Have they evolved songs that sound pleasant together? Have we evolved to think it sounds good? Is it just random chance?

This is a ridiculous rant. “ oh no! We have choices”. Then you list out every choice available for what is a new space people are exploring and the list is barely a half dozen long? It’s more like this is peak “claiming everything is peak”.

I did the same thing but there’s one more crucial piece that you need. Wireless charging. It can take a decent hit to your battery. I put in a magasafe charger and it’s the perfect setup. I throw it on the charger and it keeps the phone fro

It's a stupid name like Google or iPad was a stupid name until it's worth a billion dollars and then it's not so stupid anymore. Success makes the name, not the other way around.

There is a huge selection bias. Gen Z being the latest entrant is going to have people who are anxious and not well equipped for the environment who will move to other careers. These types of people will not be represented in older cohorts

I don't get it. You need to charge your phone anyway. You just make that part of the phone charging routine. I have a MagSafe triple charger next to my bed that I throw my phone, watch and AirPods on before I go to bed and everything&#

Featurebase[1] is a database based on bitmaps. (Formerly known as Piloasa) I'm not sure if they actually use Roaring Bitmaps [2] or they implemented it themselves. Either way it's based on the idea of compressed bitmaps. [1] http

Graph databases excel when you need maximum flexibility and this is when the shape of the graph is constantly changing by adding new, novel, and unexpected data. As soon as you put it behind an application it becomes static and you end up p

IPFS does provide data reliability with the use of pinning services, a private cluster, or cooperative cluster. It seems to be difficult how to communicate how IPFS works in this regard and there are a lot of misunderstandings about it. The
