Viewing profile — Apes

This isn't a very productive statement by any standard.

No argument against VMs - just that they have a different risk profile and a different set of trade-offs than containers. They're not a silver bullet, but if they're working for yo…

You can't really do anything useful with a VM either unless you start punching holes in those boundaries.

If you're connecting to a host on a port < 1024, then you know a SysAdmin must have set it up, and it must be trustworthy. It was a simpler time.

If you have write access to nginx.conf, you can set "user root root;"

The theory behind the US having a large military is that it acts as a sort of fleet in being - that the US prefers other methods of engaging with countries, and having a stronger m…

> An MRI is great at identifying which ways your body doesn’t look like a textbook reference body, but it doesn’t necessarily tell you what those things are or whether they will ev…

I've got this game in my steam library, and I wondered why no one ever talks about it. I never realized it was delisted and made impossible to buy so long ago.

The year is 1846, and a doctor has a radical new idea: doctors should wash their hands between performing autopsies and delivering babies! You're not sure of whether this is a good…

I strongly suspect the truth is both are "right", but they're both optimized answers to slightly different problems. Mainstream medicine is hyper optimized for the most common 80% …

I don't think there's a silver bullet coming within our lifetimes. There's no single points of failure: as you get older, everything just starts wearing out and failing. If you cur…

Whoops, I haven't worked with bonds directly in a bit and forgot the coupon rate was split across payments.

I'm not sure there's a significant difference in practice, but technically the $50 would be part of the bond's debt principal, not interest. A bond with a face value of $1000 means…

I think you have a strong argument here, but there's a problem of deeper and widespread rot at play. The reason Uber can get away with pretending it's just a "connector" is because…

Byuu was fantastic - I remember when they came onto the scene and made a big push for better emulator compatibility across the board. Byuu made positive changes in the world, and I…

It seems odd that you're fixated on the tool used rather than the content itself. Do you refuse to wear clothes because a machine made them?

I created the list and had an LLM review it to ensure I wasn't just pulling stuff out of thin air. Looks like it switched my hyphens for em-dashes.

People often get hyper-focused on a single cause, but there is a whole range of forces driving a sharp decline in jobs. All of this is visible, yet we are marching toward an econom…

RTX 5090 is about as good as it gets for home use. Its inference speeds are extremely fast. The limiting factor is going to be the VRAM on the 5090, but nvidia intentionally makes …

My understanding is the DGX Spark is optimized for training / fine tuning and the Jetson Thor is optimized for running inference. Architecturally, the DGX Spark has a far better ca…
