This was great timing for IBM employees with RSU's. Many folks had RSUs which literally unlocked this morning.

secrets, too. Org's already knee deep in vault / vault-agent for PKI and secrets wont be eager to switch.

If you're a offline kind of guy, try LM Studio + Cline :) /not affiliated with cline, just a happy user

the context limits on google are nuts! Being able to pump 2 million tokens in and having it cost $0 is pretty crazy rn. Cline makes it seamless to switch between APIs and isnt tryi…

vscode + cline extension + gemini2.0 is pretty awesome. Highly recommend checking out cline. it quickly became one of my favorite coding tools.

Hopefully the weather holds out in Dallas. I'll also be in town for the eclipse...but may wind up heading out east if cloud cover predictions hold. https://www.pivotalweather.com/e…

Do yourself a favor and integrate GPT4 into your workflow. I use it probably 20 times a day at this point. example: "I ran performance tests on two systems, here's the results of s…

I have to ask, why use 3rd party booking sites at all? From what I can tell, the prices are usually the same as the hotel... needlessly adding middlemen into the booking process.

I doubt reddit itself runs the bot farms that enable modifying public perception.

Yeah I agree. Singling out the largest player is silly. We've basically given different nations the ability to control the thoughts of society. Social media hasnt been organic for …

Facebook (and much of social media) is the modern day Philip Morris peddling addictive experiences...except the harm is way less obvious. Folks arent getting cancer, but they are w…

it's more secure on the back end. The DB will store a hashed unique pass phrase that isnt shared with anyone else. You enter a pin, the web server sees a public key that only your …

I would assume there is a lot of overlap in these "general and administrative" roles between IBM and RedHat. I'd guess more of this work will be moved to existing roles within IBM?…

Learning how to install ShowEQ to cheat in everquest got me my first real exposure to linux...then trying to build a emulator for it took me down a rabbit hole. Was probably 12 at …

I asked chatGPT to summarize this like I was a child: > Imagine you have a toy that you're not sure will work perfectly or not. The people who made the toy say that they're not sur…

If you are designing something, being able to rapidly iterate is great. The difference is 4-5 prints a working day vs 1-2 prints a day.

I own two MK3s+'s. They are solid machines if you are looking to print PLA and some PETG. The stock extruder is a PITA. The MK4's redesigned nozzle/heat break & 10:1 extruder are b…

I've had the idea that a deposit in free to play games would be sufficient. Put some amount of money in, say $20. When you are done with the game, you get the $20 back. If you chea…

IBM Watson is the result of IBM being led by sales people instead of engineers. Prior to the role of CEO, Ginni Rometty was head of global sales, marketing, and strategy @ IBM. I d…
