    I’m curious what makes you a supporter, as you say? Supporting the companies that make them or the developers themselves pushing the technology forward or the impacts of the prolif…

    I’m in the same boat. Am trying to figure out how to configure Vinyl cache (née Varnish) in my home lab.

    The text says that it uses OS-level tools, specifically bubble wrap on Linux.

    Right, this is roughly my mental situation, too. I guess that streaming JSON things can eat up compute way faster than I had any intuition for!

    This is a helpful breakdown, thanks, @otterley. It is, by orders of magnitude, larger than any deployment that I have been a part of in my work experience, as a 10-year data scient…

    > This was costing us ~$300K/year in compute, and the number kept growing as more customers and detection rules were added. Maybe I’m out of touch, but I cannot fathom this level o…

    Is it incontrovertibly built in to macOS? I have an iPhone and have never enabled it or Siri, so maybe there is similar off switch for macOS.

    The AirPods Max 2 are primarily Bluetooth headphones, but support lossless audio over USB-C cable, for what it’s worth.

    No, the ultimate beneficiary of LLM-created code is the toll collectors who stole as much intellectual property as they could (and continue to do so), fleecing everyone else that t…

    This is why I still prefer Signal; this practice seems to be their modus operandi even though they, too, were affected by AWS us-east-1 catastrophe

    I am really only familiar with Python, in which I’m pretty sure that the .py becomes .pyc and then CPython translates .pyc into machine instructions. How does this differ? Is an IR…

    I’m in the same boat, and what tipped me there is the ethical non-starter that OpenAI and Anthropic represent. They strip-mined the Web, ripped off copyrighted works in neat space,…

    I like the `VARIANTS` env. var [0] to take advantage of x86_64 newer extensions if one’s processor has them. CachyOS is a whole distro compiled with these flags, if possible, which…

    Source for this? I would be crestfallen because Kagi has been such a good product for me for the past year or so.
