I don't think that adding the feature is the issue here, but instead Google deciding it needs to push an order of magnitude more data and store it on your device. I can understand …

Sounds like you've jumped to conclusions without reading the whole thing, or are making a disingenuous connection between two very different concepts. Climate impacts (really just …

I would prefer my library not buy SICP (at least the Scheme edition) since it's available for free online. https://mitp-content-server.mit.edu/books/content/sectbyfn/b...

Sure, AI tools can do this. However, VS Code is the platform. Why aren't more people worried about running arbitrary VS Code extension that can do the same thing, AI or not?

The Steam Deck is an established product that was first released in February 2022. You may be thinking of the Steam Machine, which indeed does not have public pricing that I'm awar…

After a few months of testing the waters, I just moved my gaming PC over to full-time Linux this weekend. Proton has really been revolutionary, as I haven't yet encountered somethi…

It's a serious requirements-gathering exercise. I would look inside your organization for HPC storage experts and ask them to sit down with you for an hour to walk through your use…

There are several other systems I would recommend before TernFS for your environment. If you're looking at Lustre versus this in particular, Lustre has been through the wringer, an…

> there's no legitimate (non-crawling) reason for someone to request your site from an AWS resource I used to run an X instance in the cloud that I would sometimes browse websites …

My only issue with OVH is that they wouldn't let me rent a VPS ($30/month?) without sending a copy of my government identification. I'm not willing to distribute copies of that wit…

Thanks, you’re right, I was mistaken.

EDIT: This comment is wrong, see fsmv’s comment below. Leaving for posterity because I’m no coward! - - - Undefined behavior only means that the spec leaves a particular situation …

What amenities would you recommend around that annual budget? Honest question, I’m finding the lounges to be less helpful these days.

From the toilet?

Time for this year’s play through!

Arm has been in supercomputers for a while. Astra at Sandia Labs was the first Arm peta-scale supercomputer, and the first on the Top500. It debuted in 2018. Fugaku is the fastest …

Google’s AI tool says that 20-25% of the world’s population flies at least three times a year. Not a good source, but at least a surprising statistic if true. Some hard data says t…

Just as a data point, I saw a $9 dozen of eggs next to a $2.19 dozen of eggs at the grocery store today.

At the moment, yes. For a short while, it was very hard to find eggs for less than $5-6 a dozen due to a supply issue. Since then, some egg prices have fallen back to normal. Some …

I have a system where I use a tmux-server config that has a different prefix (^O), status bar color (yellow), and location (top). I use that for my outer tmux session, then start d…

Perl is not quite as universally installed as you claim, especially in containers.

The system uses 30MW, but this job used a portion of it that would consume 2.6MW. There isn't really a figure for how much compute time it takes to train this thing, but 8x H100s h…

Dispute the charge with Amex, like you probably should have done at first sign of trouble. You can do this even after paying the bill.

I’ve just come to realize from this article that human challenge trials are really a form of trolley problem [1]. Is it more ethical to “do nothing” and gather data from infections…
