> Then came the weirdness: bursts of Tor traffic, spammy signups I have a small hobby site - maybe a few hundred real users ever, and a handful of regulars. But the logs and users …

AMD seem to be catching up quickly lately. I'm running Stable Diffusion, Llama-2, and Pytorch on a 7900XTX right now. Getting it up and running even on an unsupported Linux distro …

I did Beijing to Xi'an last September in about 4.5 hours on the regular 320kph trains. To be honest, when you take into account security checks, boarding etc I just don't think it …

I moved from the native app to just using the Web app in a pinned tab a while ago. Then you only have to block notifications in one place. When someone @heres or tags me I only see…

That's interesting, I thought the given name in Chinese was almost always two characters. Is this not the case? 我是中文学生 :) Funnily the first thing you learn in Chinese is how to say…

I wonder about this. It might be a huge bias but I would imagine a significant amount of productivity gained in the economy, and thus new wealth created, over the last couple of de…

I was going to troll and ask would it support Gaeilge but since it still thinks "Turn the volume down" in a Belfast accent means turn it up max, I doubt it :) Not to mention gettin…

Definitely plenty of supply for this anyways :) Congrats on shipping.

Cannot believe 'Galwegian' predates 'Glaswegian', I always thought the former was a relatively recent adaptation of the latter! Galway's a great city for culture, it doesn't need t…

Video appears to be at least 50% speed :)

I find aggressive scope-cutting to be one of the most compelling things about building side projects. I'm shopping for computer parts at the minute so built a quick app to scan UK …
