What do you mean? You use the 5lb tank via the Aarke instead of the CO2 cylinders? Or you refill somehow the CO2 cylinders? If it's the first one this sounds like the best of both …

Works like a charm for me, just like for you. Getting ~8 tok/s on my middle-of-the-road workstation laptop. Thanks for this!

Musician-turning-tech anarchist (?) Benn Jordan is making a very interesting series of videos about Flock cameras, their poor safety, and their gray-area interfacing with local gov…

Mind sharing the fix as a patch? I would like to run it this way, too.

Regarding the teaching workload: This is not generalizable; during my undergraduate studies a significant fraction (maybe the majority? too long ago to be sure) of my classes were …

Re: the point about Zig: Especially considering I used and played a lot with D's BetterC model when I was a student, I wonder as a language designer what Walter thinks about the de…

At the risk of sounding pedantic, you're (I think, implicitly) claiming that reducing Russian oil revenues doesn't impact their war capabilities. Why would that be the case?

Concerning how widespread DBT is: In the last five years in grad school, I knew many people doing a psychology PhD and DBT was one of the major training focuses for their clinical …

I like it, but the fact that you don't have to input the whole word correctly and only each individual letter really conflicts with my muscle-memory to correct mistakes. I also thi…

Objective statements require some evidence. Are you referring to evidence elsewhere in the conversation or have you forgotten to include it?

Probably an obvious addendum here, but the classes I remember having the most engaging lectures were flipped style where you didn't need to take notes necessarily, because the clas…

I don't know but if you want to find out a good place to look is Luke Ranieri's Polymathy/ScorpioMartianus channels. He engages very actively with the Ancient Greek and Latin langu…

It's funny to hear someone describe my daily driver personal laptop in the same way as a 380Z. I use Slackware with Xfce4 and except for the lower screen resolution (1360x768) I ha…

Unless I misread they don't state exactly how the attack escalates privileges to install the driver. Could there be two versions of the attack with varying levels of severity?

This is very cool and very useful as a commuting cyclist. The routes that OSM and Google give me don't always have a high "reasonability" score in that they may be the most direct …

The use of LD_PRELOAD as part of the attack surface makes me think that a statically-linked binary has some value. Not a maximalist approach like some experimental distros, but I t…

This is presently how my website works. I'm no webdev so I'm probably committing all sorts of heresies, though. I use m4 macros to build the header/footer structure with links and …

I think this is a key point to catch in this discussion. Like a sibling comment said, this is the way things are done in his EU country, but the big difference is that EU countries…

The description of that video credits one of the creators as Reini Urban, which I'm gonna infer means yes in this case

As a Westerner with a lot of cultural knowledge of Christianity but very little of the structure of Buddhism, yes please give the long answer.

For the record it is not correct that NixOS's choice to store language packages in its own repos is unique: Slackware does this and IIRC Ubuntu and Debian both do this. In fact, th…

There are a few ways of comparing these numbers. I think you're suggesting that something like deaths/kWh is a better metric, which I agree with; if we just go with total deaths th…

Sure. gorgonical@fastmail.com.

I'd be interested in a copy. How can I reach you?
