    Unfortunately their Zed agent is completely broken when running on Windows connected to WSL/SSH remote because the terminal tool checks for paths using the local Path style (window…

    Probably needed an excuse to rotate our stock out.

    LLMs are very good at helping you manage DMARC/DNS related configuration, even as a non-expert. I used it to develop custom DMARC report processing app that: 1. sucks in reports se…

    I put a path in my garden so I can continue to maintain the garden, and walk around and enjoy it. But oh no, my daisies are wilting because they're too close to the path. So I adju…

    "be fruitful" and "replenish the earth" is already aligned As for "subdue", ask anyone maintaining a large garden how much they have to work to keep it from reverting back to a wil…

    I guess another thing is once the related conversation is identified you can use some other mechanism to retrieve it all or in parts etc.

    So you draw some distillates out of the conversation, do a vector embedding of each, and insert the pairs into pg. Then retrieval is distill -> find top N nearby vectors. Indexing,…

    Yes that would probably help!

    LLMs are far from great writers. They struggle to form long coherent sentences and lean on punctuation like emdash and semicolon to ensure grammatical correctness when splicing tog…

    I'm not trying to be obtuse, and correct me if I'm wrong, but "context" is just words, often rendered as markdown because it's easy for both LLMs and humans to produce and edit. Si…

    Lots of people have their own voice and tend to prefer certain phrases. This has been the case for a long time and is generally not a big issue. Now LLMs come along and they also h…

    So instead of markdown files in a repo, it's markdown files in a nosql database?

    Sure, maybe you can find a paint that is black in all bands except for the ones used by the satellite. It won't use carbon black.

    Comment #48804260

    The entire underside of these satellites is a big phased array antenna. Maybe you can paint it so it absorbs all the other wavelengths, but it would be counterproductive to absorb …

    Couldn't we just permanently solve the stack copying issue by always using a per-stack base pointer + offset for all stack objects? Copy stack -> update base pointer -> done. Tryin…

    Sure, but one might imagine that linkers are generic and reusable, so you can just pick one off the shelf instead of making a new one 1-1 for each language. Empirically this line o…

    Neat! Barcodes are much more complex that I knew before looking into it. I used JsBarcode [1] to create a special barcode that reprograms a cheap barcode scanner we got on Amazon t…

    To me, paperless means they ATTACH MY STATEMENT TO THE EMAIL. Not signing up to any paperless until they do, none yet have met this bar. The statement is supposed to be a snapshot …

    Ah so the fork is permanent. How unfortunate, guess I need to avoid QNAP software entirely.

    Comment #48594669

    OpenZFS released the zpool expansion as stable last year. Hopefully QNAP is charting a path to allow their users to migrate from their fork to OpenZFS, though of course these kinds…

    Anybody used a tinybox? https://tinygrad.org/#tinybox The most "affordable" option is red v2 with 64GB GPU ram and costs $12,000. This is only ("only") 1.5x-3x the price of a beefy…
