Agree with what others have said: you need to try a few out. But I'd put Qwen3-14B on your list of things to try out.

Get the LLM to read and summarise N pages at a time, and store the outputs. Then, you concatenate those outputs into one "super summary" and use _that_ as context. Theres some fide…

This is impressive! Some interesting (and seemingly accurate) insights on my own behaviours :-) Caveat: I didn't try this on desktop. On mobile (DDG Browser) I couldn't actually se…

I have been using Linux on "bare metal" for quite some time, as my primary operating system on the machines I've owned. When I've needed Windows, I've run it in a virtual machine. …

Whilst it doesn't have the mindshare or some features which are tablestakes for enterprise customers, I've found Linode's pricing to be extremely predictable for small projects. Ev…

Makes sense! What's the current best virtualisation software on Windows in your opinion? I tried searching online for this. And quickly realised that highly ranked sites targeting …

> At home, I no longer dual-boot because I vm. Curious, do you have a Windows host and Linux guest(s)? Or the other way around? I currently have Linux as my primary with a Windows …

Interesting analysis. I think it suffices to say that quite a bit of thought and justification would precede striking a hospital in all of these scenarios. I do hope that this leve…

I'll preface this with the fact that I appreciate the opportunity for discourse without degenerating to our base/tribal/Neanderthal brains. And, also, a chance to converse with som…

+1 I've found that, for me anyway, one centered large monitor with enough real estate for your daily tasks is better than N smaller monitors. This is even if "total number of pixel…

I see your point, but comparing this with an off-line AV scanner with a regularly updated internal database (assuming that's what you meant) is not an apt comparison. The analog wo…

Interesting, I wasn't aware Google had actually stated "we don't use this data for tracking, and we only use it for link protection" (does it?). Assuming true: you are right in tha…

I'm pretty sure the stated intent of the redirect is to prevent phishing (that is, provide an opportunity for Google to warn users about visiting a known dodgy site). The ability t…

To be clear: I'm not bashing Excel. Agree that there isn't a viable alternative for explorative table manipulation, and the experience of "think/change/see-results" is second to no…

Yep, I've long conjectured that Excel is what sells MS office. Every other product in the Office suite, including PowerPoint, has very viable alternatives. Excel has a 100% a stron…

As did I. Lotus Notes is something that cannot be unseen.

(2) is perhaps poorly and ambiguously worded on my part. What I meant to convey was: "It's rude/impolite to refuse your friend's offer to top your drink up" (context being: you're …

I've not been to Japan, but heard what seems to be an exception to this rule from a colleague. When out having drinks, it is considered (1) rude to let your friend's drink go empty…

Good read, a lot that resonated with me. My comms (written and verbal) to stakeholders are something I'd rate as "OK". But, on occasion I still do catch myself out diving into tech…

Personally I love the usability of KDE, the speed (and information density) of the file browser, and love constantly discovering little "touches" of polish as I use it. However, th…

I've seen a few reasons in big-corps. To list 2: 1. Old version, and security updates are still required There's some critical piece of legacy software that has only been tested an…

> It's basically all vanilla Java Have you considered rewriting it in rust? ;) In all seriousness, it's great to see something written in a "boring" language like Java, which seems…

Whilst I can only speak anecdata, in my experience majority of people who "know" the song definitely only know the chorus, and have no idea about the song's history or lyrics. They…

Sounds simple enough, but there's a small problem. Increasing supply might negatively affect property values. ... And people influencing policy are likely property owners, or at le…

Whilst slightly off-topic, curious if they published, or if anyone knows, what OS the compromised employee machine was running?
