    Schemas, etc. look a lot like JSON-LD. You would need to pin the schema only if you're worried someone might modify one. But it gives you a lot of options out of the box, while sti…

    That's a good point. Though I'd still expect more effort from the developer to convince people that they will actively maintain the project after the first 3 months.

    There are 3 new commits, and the only actually fixes are: Go update and revert to earlier version of console. But there are a bunch of changes to docs, CI workflows and issue templ…

    This does seem like a person getting hooked on idle games, or mobile/online games with artificially limited progress (that you can pay to lift). It's a type of delayed gratificatio…

    >the failure mode is invisible Only if you are missing tests for what counts for you. And that's true for both dev-written code, and for vibed code.

    One option is to do multi-stage rollout of your database schema and code, over some time windows. I recall a blog post here (I think) lately from some Big Company (tm) that would r…

    I had a strange problem with Dell P2720DC (27'' 2560x1440) - the whole outer edge of the screen would flicker if I used dark background with a lot of dim colours (like dark mode in…

    It does use a ton of energy - with clock on 4k screen my M2 macbook air CPU temperature went up 10°C in 10s and 20°C in 50s.

    The first one is usually called "explainability".

    NX NPM attack (at least the previous wave which targetted tinycolor) relied on running post-install scripts. Go tooling does not give you ways to run post-install scripts, which is…

    Github Actions Runner code is pretty easy to read, here's a specific place that define default arguments for popular shells / binaries: https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/main/…

    The program - yes, it is a rule-based program. But the reasoning and logic responses are not implemented explicitly as code, they are supported by the network and encoded in the we…

    Yes, exactly. What I meant is: it's not the code itself that encodes this logic or reasoning.

    Comment #43235447

    Good point, I meant the reasoning is not encoded like a logical or mathematical rules. All the neural networks and related parts rely on e.g. matrix multiplication which works by m…

    Comment #43235387

    That's true with any neural network or ML model. Pick a few points, use the same algorithm with the same hyperparameters and random seed, and you'll end up with the same result. De…

    Comment #43235330

    But it is only a program computing numbers. The code itself has nothing to do with the reasoning capabilities of the model.

    Comment #43234994

    LLMs (our current "AI") doesn't use logical or mathematical rules to reason, so I don't see how Gödel's theorem would have any meaning there. They are not a rule-based program that…

    Interesting, my 3060 uses 150-170W with 14B model on Ollama, according to nvidia-smi.

    Ubuntu supports ZFS, so if you can track Ubuntu's kernel, you get ZFS without risking unbootable system.

    I'm working on a CI system with DSL instead of yaml configs. The general premise is that most sufficiently advanced yaml configs begin to look like code - e.g. in Github Actions on…

    retry() { local n=$1 shift for i in $(seq $n); do "$@" done } This is not a retry function, it's a "run a function 5 times" function. Retry would check the outcome of the operation…

    Maybe the license is pretty clear, but interpretations differ. E.g. Minio provides a very aggressive interpretation of AGPL, equating to "if you use it in closed-source commercial …
