Yep, first instance I know of was from back in 2009, https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2009/jul/17/amazon-ki... and the kind of thing keeps happening over the years. It'll con…

It'll be very useful for even local setups when the data needs to be confidential. Look at the research related to medical training of llms (ignore their current lack of direct use…

It's more than just for cryo-freezing and attacks like that, it also helps defend against row-hammer and other DRAM refresh related issues since the scrambling means that the host …

The five command part isn't really possible but you can use custom diffs for merges, git diff, etc. pretty easily. There are projects like diffsitter ( https://github.com/afnanenay…

I think its one reason ive been happy with software based epub readers where upgrading is usually reasonable to do. Either on my phone or android based eink reader. That said if th…

Hows wolfie doing?

Neat, definitely a part of history that I'm not familiar enough with myself since I was only ~6 or so around then when the article was published. It definitely seems to reinforce t…

My understanding (probably wrong) is that pcmcia was based off the ISA bus and then pc card updated to pci based and express card was pcie

The Pi 3B doesn't have UEFI support, so it requires special support on the distro side for the boot process but for the 4 and newer you can flash (or it'll already be there, depend…

Pretty reasonable place to start. I'm curious how it would fare in an emc/rf test.

For IoT myself i'm wondering if it's something that could be thrown into the Matter side of things, make the hub/border router act as an ACME server with it's own CA that gives out…

Largely management, observability, and then the way that docker mucks with firewalls. Running them this way will allow proxmox to handle all that in the same way {I assume) as the …

Likely due to areas that still have only 2g coverage. Still a lot of that in rural usa

Sometimes, lots of companies will lock down WSL and similar because they can't as easily control what's running in it for security or policy reasons. In those cases putting would b…

Same usecase for myself too. One of the biggest advantages for me is that it lets me setup a single and easily tested place for the users to reset passwords from too for when they …

Listen, there are Top Men in charge of keeping these things safe. Top Men.

This is one reason that I'm still upset about the failure that SCTP has ended up. It really did try to create a new protocol for dealing with exactly all of these issues but suppor…

> For multi-window applications you're not inside "your own window", you own many windows. Are apps not allowed to get and set properties of windows they spawn under Wayland? Depen…

> EDIT: on further thought though, it's really odd that they still haven't added in optional APIs for a lot of basic window operations... That's because like you mention, wayland d…

What about the late Earl Warren? https://youtu.be/FUw9Eo9QqmM That's the one I remember from the simpsond back then

I think they're referring to this, https://linux.die.net/man/5/magic given the notation. That said I don't really see how it'd be all that relevant to the discussion so maybe i'm m…

that entity extraction is where it actually gets really really difficult, even for LLMs since people will use 10 different names for the same thing and you'll have to know them ahe…

Yea it seems like it's something to act like ACPI and DMI but on ARM, right now this is being "solved" in linux with the whole Device Tree subsystem where there's a config file tha…

If anyone wants to look up why this might work, it's a Whitening transform [0]. I can't find the name of the algorithm itself being describe in the parent but there's more than jus…

Probably not dolable on planetary scale but ii imagine it'd help in space, esp if combined with some other mods like fiximg the vitamin c gene to remove scurvy. If we could use lig…
