    It's baffling that with current iteration of hype mania all of the lessons about metrics were thrown out of the window. Goodhart's law anyone? All of a sudden all of the terrible, …

    There are other things very good "at some range of common tasks". For example, stackoverflow snippets, libraries, bash spaghetti and even some no-code/low-code tools.

    Yeah I got corrected above. Good, but not good it took them 3 years.

    Well apparently 3 years later they did a thing. I asked about it so many times I didn't even bother to check if they added it. Though I'm not sure if they did not sneak it as some …

    ChatGPT to this day does not have a single simplest feature -- fork chat from message. That's the thing even the most barebones open-source wrappers had since 2022. Probably even b…

    Now I'm curious: does this situation classify as force-majeure for a major firms? "Hey, you know, actually our entire consumer base just disappeared overnight. Crazy, huh?". And wi…

    And what if they just do it anyway? What are they going to do, sue them? Make them scrub every git repository on the planet?

    Both are deprecated though. And both say something unexpected on their repositories: one suggests you to use Docker Desktop (what?!), the other to try Fedora (what?!!). Am I taking…

    So much this. People don't realize that when 1 trillion (10 trillion, 100 trillion, whatever comes next) is at stake, there are no limits what these people will do to get them. I w…

    So if JavaScript was made on this day, today, it would be named AIScript? Got it. Totally hard to understand the level of hype.

    Then I sure hope Nvidia completely ceases to exist, like SGI, who, ironically, was decimated by Nvidia and cheap consumer hardware.

    So, when anyone will fork in? Call it MaxIO or whatever. I might even submit couple of small patches. My only blocker for a fork to maintain compatibility and path to upgrade from …

    This is nauseating. I hope someone forks KDE into like KDElive or something so I could continue use X11 and not bother with piece of junk of Wayland. The whole thing is a wrong way…

    I had a simple proxmox/k8s cluster going, and fitting RAM for nodes was the last on my list. It was cheapo ol' DDR4. Where I live price for my little cluster project gone up from a…

    Isn't it the whole point of current AI environment? "We can't, we shouldn't, yet we did and look at our stock". I won't bet anything at it but the whole thing, the whole AI economy…

    I don't know about GMP, but I recently built a PC with 9950X3D. As part of initial testing, I ran Prime95 for 48 hours. Everything ran stable, but I noticed that part of the tests,…

    Does nginx still lock prometheus metrics and active probing behind $$$$$ (literal hundreds of thousands)? Forgot third most important thing. I think is was re-resolving upstreams. …

    I don't think combined energy output of every power station on Earth would be enough after we have Electron apps for so long. (edit: typo)

    Grab a used/refurb 3090 then. Probably as legendary card as a 1080Ti.

    Oh god, even this article has AI and LLM section in it. When I thought distributed system design could not get any worse, someone actually pitched AI slop in it. God I want to dig …

    Before opening this can of worms, can we finally address that there is a hard, hardcoded limit of 255 bytes per file name (folder name) in Linux? Yeah, 255 bytes, that is, like 63 …

    Are they going to remove competitor password manager apps as they did with other things they have incorporated into the iOS?

    Even on most overpriced and insane modern nvme consumer SSDs you'd see numbers like that: Seq Writes 7000 MiB/s; Rand 4k Writes: 44 MiB/s. And the last number haven't really improv…
