    FWIW, llama.cpp links to and fetches models from ollama ( https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/tools/run/... ). This issue seems to be the typical case of someone bein…

    I blame this on the recent development of "open source as a marketing strategy". I'm getting tired of "open source" products that have restrictive licenses, or that are open source…

    Everyone talking about Kubernetes as if it was merely a "hyperscaler" and the biggest benefit of Kubernetes over a bunch of custom scripts is consistency and the ability to have ev…

    To answer your question directly: yes, that's the point. You may have different clusters for different logical purposes but, yes: less clusters, more node groups is a better practi…

    We moved entire infrastructure to AWS last year, to speed up/simplify/rethink it. We lasted 3 months on S3/CloudFront. We are still heavily invested in AWS, but moved our productio…

    VC funding is where cool products/ideas go to die... or sell off to be assimilated. I don't think VC funding exists if "premium support/enterprise consulting" is the monetization s…

    Spot instances for dev environment???? "Your instance will be terminated in 1m" sounds like the new "Can't work; code is building"… haha

    Same thing with the argument "instead of spending $44B on a cesspool, that money could've ended world hunger". The reality of poverty, homelessness, hunger, etc, is so much more co…

    Our egress bill from Cloudfront last month, inc. the 1TB/per region free tier, was nearly $2,000. That's egress traffic ALONE (~20TB of it). Needlessly to say, we're wrapping up te…

    No need for tinfoil hats. This is a very basic networking consideration: peering. I've worked at ISPs and we would see traffic struggle through some of our contracted peers but not…

    FWIW, Textmate itself gets pretty frequent updates (latest one was on Feb 25th). It has also been open-sourced[1]. [1] https://github.com/textmate/textmate

    To be clear, Unsplash never provided images: they created a website that accepted user submissions, that's it. All content in Unsplash is user generated. What bothers me about this…

    Blockchain is a useful tech. Crypto currencies are an interesting idea, but easily manipulated by launderers, i.e. the guys over at Wall Street. NFTs are basically a ponzi scheme: …

    From my personal experience, you have another month to wait… I waited 6 months for a withdrawal to be handled. To be fair, I withdrew to the wrong account number (to Simple, to the…

    I would've told you Coinbase until not long ago, but they seem to be going down the drain in terms of support (and I promise: you will at some point need it). It's been over a mont…

    Oyster was interesting but not a really interesting option: while the app was gorgeous, it didn't allow you to import books. I'm sure most people would rather consolidate their ebo…
