circuitpython uses PWM to do the same, see for example https://learn.adafruit.com/circuitpython-essentials/circuitp....

Does anyone have sources, or experience, about fine tuning primarily to teach the model some factual data, especially when it comes to later "higher level" question answering.

For example, giving the model a bunch of text (academic papers and such) about 19th century writers, then asking things like "Who were the main influences on writer X"?

Obviously simple RAG-like approaches don't work, as such information is rarely available in the text as-is, and needs to be "extrapolated" to some extent. Long context models might work (just dumping everything into the prompt), but are way too expensive for my needs.

At least in Spain, it's common to see strawberries with unmarked origin or, even worse, "Origin: Spain" but it happens to be a Spanish company that brings them from Morocco and only does the packaging.

He's said in a few different pieces that Putin 100% does not want to ingest Ukraine into Russia, that he's only interested in "lopping off its limbs" and keeping it out of NATO.

Which is at odds with what Putin has said many times, that Ukraine is not a real nation, but a part of Russia, and Kyiv historically was central to the Russian empire. It's really clear that Putin wants all of Ukraine, not just bits of it. Putin has almost (but not quite) come out and said it. It's an open question on whether Putin would stop with Ukraine (we'll find out only if he takes Ukraine), but there's things he's said which hint that he won't.

> On the other hand he's predicted Putin/Russia's action quite accurately.

So far. At some point, he's going to have to reckon with all the stuff Putin has said about his ambitions that he ignored.
My claim from a common sense perspective isn't outlandish as saying the moon is made of cheese.

Biased samples don't automatically invalidate every aspect of the sample as a description of the reality. The possibility remains that every most programmers have two eyes just as smarter programmers tend to write sloppier code.

Look the general thing here is that anecdotal information is not automatically invalid. Your type of argument just goes around dismissing all forms of anecdotal data as if it's completely false. It's like you cannot even get up from bed and put your feet on the floor because there's no science saying that the floor exists.
Okay, but why does the artists have to make Spotify multibillionaires with their art?

I'm talking specifically about the artists that are complaining about getting a raw deal from Spotify.

I want to love arch, but it is way too complicated. I _love_ complicated things, but arch just didn't seem worth it.

My home lab journey was:

manual installs -> Ansible -> Docker + Docker Compose -> Kubernetes (I told you I loved complicated things)

I kept everything source controlled. This repo documents my long journey: https://github.com/shepherdjerred/servers

Docker and Docker Compose are nearly perfect. Here's an example of what that looked like for me: https://github.com/shepherdjerred/servers/blob/839b683d5fee2...

I mostly moved to Kubernetes for the sake of learning. Kubernetes is very cool, but you have to put in a large amount of effort and learning before it becomes beneficial.

Ansible is nice, but I didn't feel like it met all of my needs. Getting everything to be idempotent was quite hard.

Works well for impostor syndrome folks. But I think what the people in the back (the DK folks), need to consider is that you can also do well without it reflecting on your overall competence.

It's more about putting ego aside altogether. You're a mushy piece of meat that thinks. Feel good about your accomplishments, feel bad when you fuck up, learn and move on.

Orbital ring = contiguous ring orbiting earth, with connection points floating on it mag-lev style, tethered to the ground.

The latter is functionally a superconductor, you can put charge on it and it keeps moving without loss. It's also a convenient place to put PV with no clouds. It's also an estimated cost to LEO of $0.05/kg, which is cheap enough to be worth comparing to conventional transport costs.

All popular phrases go through that phase where it is recklessly used to the point that you don't know what anyone means by it. At some point it ends up being (for some people) a pejorative that you can read simply as "I don't like it".

Dunning-Kruger certainly has reached that point, you have to really dig to figure out if they're just throwing the phrase around or they're applying it in a thoughtful manner.

Rackmounted gear is fine depending on where it is "racked" - some climates can get it into a garage, basement, etc.

But unless you have a real rack it's gonna be a bit of a pain, because it WILL end up being stacked on other pieces of gear in a rackish tower that requires full dismantling to get to the piece you want to work on.

If you go off-lease rack equipment, go whole hog and get a rack and rails too. Rails can be a bit pricey, check the listings for those that include them - rails often work for much longer than the servers so the big companies that liquidate off-lease equipment don't include them; smaller sellers often do.

I wouldn’t consider an image to be sufficiently random, because you don’t have a uniform probability of any specific value: the walls aren’t changing colors, I don’t see any blue lava lamps, camera probably spits out an image with some compression, it has predictable changes through the day if the lighting changes, etc

So… I think it’s relying on a cryptographically secure hashing function to become random enough to rely on, correct?

You're getting downvoted for your cynicism, but your threat assessment is correct. It's possible for someone to put a still photo in front of the lens.

Oh good lord: what an incredibly patronizing sentiment. If design makes an interface slower for its users to use, it's a bad design. What developers-- used to looking at entirely text-based interfaces and command lines-- expect in interface feedback is much different from what others expect from it. If it's a tool for which developers are a core group of users, it should communicate using their expected set of visual signals.
The solution seems obvious enough to me: tax these vehicles to recover associated costs.

You can forgive but still have nothing to do with the person. Forgiveness doesn't have to mean you continue with them in any fashion at all. That's a separate choice.

Some people stay together, or keep their relationship whatever it was, and don't forgive each other, over whatever. Others forgive, but move on, and no longer have anything to do with each other.

Forgiveness and maintaining a relationship are independent things. They obviously affect and interact with each other, but they are independent of each other, nonetheless. :)

Also, I tend to believe Jesus, as in: turn the other cheek. That's a super power, because it actually saves you from doing something stupid that will hurt you more than, or at least as much as, hurt them.

Alternately, if you know that karma exists, then forgiveness takes on a different dimension. It's actually super badass. Because until you forgive and let go, the universe or karma, is waiting on you to dish out whatever you want to do, before it to takes its own vengeance -- giving you the right of first refusal, or whatever.

Once you forgive and let go, you free up the floodgates of karma to find their rightful home. You're no longer in the way. The universe doesn't have to wait on you anymore giving you the right to first reply, because you've already let go. In effect, you've outsourced your 'revenge', so to speak.

Until then the universe is waiting on you to make the first move, if you need to, so it probably won't do anything, so as to not interfere with your free will to take revenge if you want. But if you forgive, then you get someone else to (the universe, karma) do revenge for you, and you don't have to do anything, and nothing bad happens to you. It's the perfect badass move.

Therefore, forgiveness is the ultimate revenge.

But also, in another way, it's the ultimate revenge, because by forgiving you are saying, "Your capacity to affect me is so insignificant, you have no power, nothing. Your past actions have become nothing at all, as if they never existed, worthless."

Forgiveness is the ultimate flex.

Look what Jesus did on the cross. He pities his killers. Rightly so, but who pulls a flex like that? Jesus does. Pretty cool. And very enlightened.

Not easy to do tho. But definitely worth it. :)
