I was attending a conference back in, oh 2017 perhaps, where a few people from Microsoft were discussing their experience adopting TLA+ and somebody made the comment that they foun…

Eh there are also decades worth of audio electronics designs which use the 741 and the decision of which actual part to use is often an aesthetic one. (i.e., assuming all other par…

(Disclaimer: on religion I try to be respectful, as an agnostic atheist) I do think our ability to “build tools that create life” is incredible, but to me has a limited argumentati…

Thanks for helping us launch LocalXpose however many years ago. I know it seems like product promotion is (rightfully) something to always be wary of, but I appreciate the forums y…

And your starter “production” deployment of the Nomad/Consul/Vault stack is literally 12 VMs, comprising three independent Raft clusters. There is no decent way to do zero-downtime…

Hah, if Harlan Ellison were alive for the dawn of LLMs as a widespread technology, he would have had many (dangerous) things to say about the copyright issues, and potential horror…

I think the main idea is that MOSFET chips don’t sink or source much current on their own (“fundamental” seeming to mean the way that current does not propagate into the gates, and…

Hey I am super interested in this, got any links to check out?

Thanks for your work! Just curious, would it be possible to pad the denylisted binary with arbitrary bytes and circumvent the content hash?

Thanks, I can relate to the parent poster, and this is a really profound comment for me. I appreciate the way you framed this. I’ve felt compelled to fact check my own LLM outputs …

I am curious what you mean by doing it yourself, i.e., do you mean (as perhaps an oversimplification) having a DNS record pointing at your home IP address? What are you wanting to …

Your observation has an N of 1… Texas is almost never as cold as today, even in December. Most of the year is 35 C to 40 C and the cold water supply is warm to the touch.

Probably not an exciting answer but my work focused on stability and performance. There are indeed a lot of cool alternatives. I think Localxpose is for businesses who aren't inter…

Hey if you are interested in re-using any of this GitHub Action, feel free to: https://github.com/LocalXpose/localxpose-action

Can you share more details? I know Hetzner offers unlimited bandwidth in some cases but I thought it limited only to servers with the 1Gbs uplink

The tunnel host appears to be a Hetzner server, they are pretty generous with bandwidth but the interesting thing I learned about doing some scalability improvements at a similar c…

Unfortunately on machines doing a lot of software development, the various dependency cache locations need to be excluded from indexing, otherwise Spotlight is essentially doing fu…

I've worked in companies that do this internally, e.g., managed pull-through caches implemented via tools like Artifactory, or home-grown "trusted supply chain" automation, i.e., p…

Apologies if not interesting to anybody else. I was searching for something that would help me understand why I have received approximately 5,000 legal terms update notifications i…

Well I'm pretty sure the oscillator bank in the VS does use wavetables, it would have no other way of supporting 127 different voices (including user-provided voices). (But you're …

I was excited to read this but sadly the author provides hardly any examples to support their statements, and several of their complaints are desirable properties of a provisioning…

Seismically active regions (e.g. California) absolutely have more earthquake experts than other places... I am not sure why that metaphor is singled out when the rest of the articl…

The past two years should've made it clear that public education and the workforce increasingly depend on having access to bandwidth. Of course this was already a trend, but the pa…
