It is not the case that the only rebuildable-from-source open source models are from the USA. There's at least BLOOM, Apertus and OpenEuroLLM, and I'm sure there are many more.

There's several ways to engineer around that as the errors are detectable. There's a big literature on how to trade off speed or transistors for error correction. [1] (Is Cerebras …

Web scraping is the age old pre-LLM way to implement scratch-your-own-itch automations on the web. Anything you do manually with a web browser. Also used in corporate settings to i…

You get AWS certifications, use as many AWS services as possible to pad your CV with the service experience and certifications, get your arguments and "well architected" dogma from…

There's a lot of wooden bike frame designs that apparently work fine, the frame is one of the easier places to replace steel in.

Before JS became a common backend language, you could do this with at least one stack: Clojure & ClojureScript.

Yep, those vendors could conceivably been onboard and using launching on Opteron (if there was no Itanium and Intel was seen as the common enemy). They might have given AMD some he…

It seems to me you were replying to refute a claim about OpenSSH.

> If Itanium never happened, 64-bit x86 server chips would have done the same thing to MIPS, Alpha, PA-RISC, SPARC, PowerPC. If AMD had launched amd64 server chips those vendors on…

OpenSSH doesn't use this library.

Hmm. Is this about Github or Git? Dependency on Github seems tangential to treating Git as a first class record of history. edit: rereading, I guess the implication is that there's…

Is there a writeup on why they choose to destroy the history?

"Gas today, nuclear tomorrow" in the power section, with a LNG tanker docked to it.

Same goes for Putin's policies of course.

Research is when you don't know if it's serious work or fun experiment beforehand.

And F# - though that's alive and well.

I think it would be more valuable if it had less concepts than C# but it doesn't seem clear if they succeeded in that.

In a post-AGI scenario, a tech booster POV could be seeing the left behind parts of the populace the same way.

USA is partly a petrostate so regulatory capture is a problem. Negative externalities are not paid for by the polluters. To mitigate the climate catastrophe it would be important t…

It has. For example mechanization of argiculture in places where it didnt coincide with a manufacturing boom (latin america, india, africa) resulted in shantytowns and long term un…

The economy doesn't need workers as consumers necessarily. It would of course be a huge shock to the economy but the economy could adjust to it eventually. Maybe it compromises the…

To interpret charitably, I guess we could solve this for religion = technological development so advanced as to be indistinguishable from magic. It's been done in some Star Trek ep…

For many use cases you'll do fine without the libvirt tower of babel, with just the qemu/kvm cli.

A dedicated server is a bunch of risk and skilled administration work compared to using a container platform or serverless. Many more people have been pwned by consequences of negl…
