"Hobbyhacking"?

I believe it's a reference to a joke meme that goes something like "Write Windows 12 from scratch. Make no mistakes." At least that's the first context I heard it in.

I had an Eye-Fi card in my DSLR years ago and had a python script [0] running on my home server that'd download the photos as they were taken. It'd play a noise over the home audio…

Interesting. Can you elaborate on which harness you've tried it with? I'd love to switch to deepseek for my personal use. Also, which SOTA western models are you comparing it with?…

As an alternative to the VoIP phone: Redpocket has a $2.67/mo plan. We loaded that SIM into a small android phone (Unihertz Jelly phone). It works great as a home phone but has the…

Also the consumption of AI-generated text could be having an influence on the tone of how people write. So even if AI was not used to write an article, it could "smell" like AI to …

"If it's not worth writing, it's not worth reading." - https://claytonwramsey.com/blog/prompt/

The way I think you'd set this up is you'd create a trust with the millions and then the trustees would pay the company its monthly fee from the trust's funds. With enough funds, t…

Here's a "Walk with me" video of the bridge: https://youtu.be/DA9NPmwWDWE?t=385

Here's a philosophical question. Does anyone account for inflation when looking at their long term history? I've been thinking of looking at everything in 2019 dollars. It might al…

My neighbor just did the exact same thing. The way FAT filesystems work is they change the first byte of the filename to an invalid character to make them a tombstone. Since he had…

In my imagination, I thought that the large GPU clusters were dynamically allocating whole machines to different tasks depending on load. So, hypothetically, if ChatGPT's peak load…

Talk to the other vendors. I know of a place that had about that same amount and decided to have a redundant copy of all of their data in another vendor's S3-compatible product. Th…

The front-to-back symmetry is interesting. It may cause some confusion for other drivers, in some limited circumstances, when they can't tell which way the vehicle is facing. It ap…

Yes! That has been supported for a long while. At least on Android, go to Settings -> Chats -> Chat Backups. Set up a schedule and a passphrase and a folder, and it will export you…

I used to work at a place that had a second copy of all the git repositories on a server, available over ssh. We could push there and then, at deploy time, instruct the servers to …

I wonder if you could work around this problem by having two EBS volumes on each host, and write to them both. You'd have the OS report the write was successful as soon as either d…

If you're using cloud storage for backups, don't forget to turn on Object Lock. This isn't as good as offline storage, but it's a lot better than R/W media. At work we've been usin…

I think you have that backwards; it should decrease latency and decrease throughput. I don't imagine the overhead will be too bad though, so it may decrease latency while keeping t…

For compiled languages it should be fine, as you're only going to compile the permuted source code, not execute it. Given a sufficiently bad compiler bug anything is possible, but …

When I give it that same prompt, it writes a python program and then executes it to find the answer: https://chatgpt.com/share/66e35a15-602c-8011-a2cb-0a83be35b8...

I've heard it called "Platform risk". Also "Playing in someone else's walled garden", or something along those lines. I realize that's not a term for the inevitable rugpull, but th…

This has security implications! Example exploitable ruby code: unless person_id =~ /^\d+$/ abort "Bad person ID" end sql = "select * from people where person_id = #{person_id}" In …

We have a product that uses ChatGPT via the API, using the 3.5 turbo version. Our query involves some dates. Instead of giving back text like it usually does, today it has been giv…
