Comments are for humans but I don't think there is any reason for HN to police the submissions as a policy. If any article lacks credibility or merit to the extent that one can't even finish reading it then just ignore it and move

Depends on your tooling and quant? I grabbed the unsloth Q3 and it works out if the box in opencode. I had issues with OpenWebUI with a random 3.6 A3B.

I know RAR isn't the coolest archive format but it has particular strengths for data preservation. Namely, built-in recovery records and effectively no archive size limit. It is more reliable than most other archives in my experience

A counter example: I got caught out by the deprecation/sunsetting of anonymous "old.reddit.com" yesterday but it turns out uBlock can filter out the ads, boilerplate, sidebars, join/login buttons etc on the main site. It

Can we extend that beyond just parental controls? I'd love to permaban 90% of the internet from ever reaching me. But the laws are designed backwards because they're probably written for someone else's benefit. If this age ve

I agree. I also think that URLs will always be ephemeral because you can't control the TLD. If the TLD operator increases the price or introduces new conditions that are disagreeable you have no way of handling redirection. If somethin

Likewise, I thought I was bad at public speaking and avoided it almost entirely until my last couple years of university. By then I found myself surrounded by friendly, curious peers who were happy for me to nerd about whatever it was I bec

I wrote a script to simulate a variable workload when the load averages dipped so that I could keep my mostly-idle VMs running. It felt like a waste of energy but the VMs are in short supply which meant that Oracle has already decided that

Is there some way for me to be notified when you do? I don't see any RSS on your site. The docs I have built up are at times too technical for users and not detailed enough for developers. I am not sure if it's a skill issue on my

I'm running five 8TB in a Z2 so I think that slows me down a bit more especially compared to people running mirrors. I'm going to kick a scrub off now and see if I'm misremembering. --- No need, looks like it ran a few weeks

That's an interesting idea. Reminds me of how people would put their swap partitions at the end for faster speeds. If I did an N-way mirror I get could attach/detach as needed and get much more performance on reads.

This was such an improvement to mine as well. Lots of strange advice in this thread about "one sentence/question per email" and other arbitrary terseness. Just use a messaging system for single-thread async communication. Wri

I have a feeling someone is going to jump in with a "solution" to each of these forgetting that lots of work is ephemeral/transient and undeserving of even the slightest bit of automation or pre-configuration.

Controlling the TLD has its own benefits and drawbacks (managing email reputation, for example) but as a regular person I have more reason to trust `.cloud` than `.self` purely on the basis of proven continuity. My `.com` domain will almost
