Amazon bricked the first gen paperwhite, so I went on a similar journey. I started out making a single rust app on it, then went down the rabbit hole of trying to replace the shell…

5GBASE-T interfaces often use 3x less power than 10GBASE-T

How does adding another way to cause safety issues affect safety? Give me root access so i can install openclaw.

I ran go's deadcode against your repo, it says there are 44 unreachable functions. If you add guardrails like static analysis tools to a pre-commit you can make LLMs tighten things…

I can imagine the kind of person you're describing, and I find the idea of the burn they get from reading this hilarious. They sound innocent and quirky.

There was a mention of using agents to build projects into WASM. I've had the best luck telling it to use zig to compile to webassembly. It shortens the time to completion by a sig…

I liked the summary of what you do besides write code, and those things are enjoyable to me too. Understanding something better by writing code that unravels the mystery is a treat…

When I lived in the PNW people used the word pub more than bar.

Agencies commonly use 1099 workers, there's been fierce legal battles on qualifications of agencies. (ABC test) I believe 1099 worker growth has been outpacing hiring for several y…

Wikipedia's active english data is only 24gb compressed. https://dumps.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20250201/ They store revisions in compressed storage mostly read only for archival. http…

Wikipedia is tiny data. You don't start to really see cost scaling issues until you have active data a few hundred times larger and your data changes enough that autovacuuming can'…

You mean like scylla?

Where did I ever say anything about Mongo? I have worked with tables on this scale. It definitely is not a walk in the park with traditional setups. https://www.timescale.com/blog/…

They slow to a crawl when you have huge tables with lots of versioned data and massive indexes that can't perform maintenance in a reasonable amount of time, even with the fastest …

While data can be used in a relational way, it doesn't mean that's the best for performance or storage. Important systems usually require compliance (auditing) and need things like…

Before ollama and the others could do structured JSON output, I hacked together my own loop to correct the output. I used it that for dummy API endpoints to pretend to be online se…

Using function calls for correct answer lookup already practically eliminates this, it's not wide spread yet, but the ease of doing it is already practical for many. New models are…

A consignment shop?

I believe you can trigger recording with mqtt, so you could make an automation for it. You could try to bump this https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues/2590#issue... . …
