I use this in my homelab for drafting long form thoughts. It's nice since it feels more ephemeral than making a page in a wiki or making a page that gets rendered and hosted statically.

I used to run Ghost for this, but at some point the pervasive push to use Ghost's paid features for an internally hosted blog irked me enough to rip it out.

> Memory cycle time is 1.6 microseconds; an integer register-to-register "add" instruction takes 3.2 microseconds.

Ah, auld lang syne, when even the simplest processor operations were slower than memory fetch. It was coincidentally the same time when the foundational research on the computational complexity was happening, which is why many complexity analyses assume that memory access is free.

Note that you have warranty for the 14900k. You could let Intel replace it for free, after all it's glitching because of their issues, be it overvolting or oxidation.

Given the issues of those 9000 series processors I'd be wary of them, the 7950X could be the better option.

It's unclear if that's what they're complaining about, but if it is, the reason people just say "seconds since epoch" instead of saying what they actually mean is precisely because no one wants to get into the weeds of leap seconds. POSIX timestamps are a convenient format and they represent an idealized "second" of constant length that's in a uniform correspondence with the rotation of the Earth. Most likely if you're using such a representation you won't care that 1723740711 is not literally and exactly 1723740711 seconds since 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z and the error of a few seconds will not even be noticed.
This is not necessarily true. Sometimes it's needed to pivot to a better/different open source license without going through the pain of contacting every contributor ever. I have seen that pain in some projects that want to go from LGPL to MIT or something.

For many contributors, they're ok giving full ownership of their contributions to a project owner on the owner's terms. Some contributors may not be ok with that of course, but it doesn't mean that every project owner has nefarious plans with said code ownership.

Have crypto agility, so that when you want to transition algorithms, the move will be as seamless as possible. You can start to use a blended or hybrid crypto today, where you simultaneously use both classical and pqc algorithms. For your classical algorithms, you should adjust your keys' security strength in accordance with your threat model. See CNSA 2.0 for a starter reference. For data in motion, you can use two VPNs, configured appropriately.

There are a number of things you can do today, more than I listed. I suggest you discuss with an appsec person who is familiar with your threat model.

Yep but to me this feels like a lot of poor ux decisions too. I would def appreciate the visual indicators of italics and bold text but ffsake please dont toggle it every time I add a bloody keystroke. It's so jarring when editors do that. There are so many alternative designs where you can have both. For instance, on my vim the highlights only get added/removed when I switch back to normal mode, during editing nothing changes except for the actual keystrokes.

Absolutely! They want to have standing in court so they can defend infringers, and that's materially easier to establish with copyright assignment agreements.

So while I agree with other commenters that a CLA is a clear indication that the entity seeking to have copyright assigned wants to reserve the right to take some kind of legal action at some point (like changing the license), it also applies in cases where the legal action is benevolent rather than malevolent (like defending the copyright).

As with all my desktops since time immemorial, its purpose was to provide an X11 environment that I used to ssh to everything else, so I never really stressed the machine itself.

This isn't (I think, memory fuzzy at this remove) a screenshot from that box, but it'll give you a feel for what one of my monitors would be displaying - https://trout.me.uk/sc2.jpg

Zero use of any of the shiny, just treating it as a solid old school workstation - the closest I had to a complaint was that it took me a little while to adjust to the level of fan noise.

With a remote browser instance to deal with the billion tons of JS I wouldn't at all mind going back to that setup today.

But it served valiantly in its subsequent life, so I feel I treated it with the respect it deserved.

(also because nobody really cared about that sort of kit at the time the Indigo2 and the monitors were cheap pickups off ebay, I'm not sure I've ever had better "bang for the buck" from building out a work setup)
Not a civics class, but an environmental charity.

Maybe the environmental charity was visiting a courtroom because environmental conscientiousness sometimes involves engaging with government processes through the courts, and a courtroom visit would make that abstraction more concrete.

Or maybe the environmental charity has an at-risk youth program component, and someone thought it would be a good idea to confront teens with some of the undesirable reality of getting into crime.

In either case, the judge might or might not have been in the loop on that. They might've just been in default mode, where they see bad and troubled behavior every day, all day.

It doesn't show this! It shows that there's a correlation between low magnesium, and biomarkers which are themselves correlated with disease. But that could mean anything. Maybe foods that are high in magnesium are also more satiating (because junk food doesn't have much magnesium), so people with high magnesium diets also eat less, making them healthier. Or maybe high magnesium foods also tend to have some other chemical X, which has good health effects even though the magnesium doesn't. Or maybe bad health causes the body to absorb magnesium poorly, or to get rid of too much magnesium. We saw this with vitamin D: low vitamin D correlates with everything bad, because people who are sick and unhealthy get less sun. But supplementing vitamin D doesn't fix the badness.

Easy to switch away from Google? We're techies, so we don't see a lot of what is going on. Turn off your blockers for ads and trackers. Look at the number of websites that have Google trackers. Look at where the ads come from. That doesn't even count search, and Google search has also become a platform for Google-driven ads. Add in YouTube and other Google properties, and "monopoly" is an understatement.

A breakup would separate the major services: Google search, YouTube, the ad business (DoubleClick et al), etc.. However, even then, the ad business probably needs to be broken up further.

This should all have been done much earlier, at least 5 and maybe even 10 years ago. Now Google is so entrenched that it will be difficult. One assumes that the government is more powerful than a corporation, but once you look into just how members of Congress so quicly become millionaires, well...

> However, they wanted to develop a technique that avoids fine-tuning, a process in which engineers retrain a general-purpose LLM on a small amount of task-specific data to make it an expert at one task.

This method does not avoid fine tuning. It just offloads the task to somebody else (i.e., to the LLM).

I'll buy the promise of the approach when the authors can show that they can vastly outperform an AR time series model or the simple techniques mentioned in the linked article.
Cockroach is also doing 3x replication of the data, so I don’t think that’s particularly relevant here. Cockroach serverless will dynamically scale up sql serving processes based on load. The storage and compute are separated in the cockroach architecture. My point is that if your query load is relatively low, cockroach serverless is definitely cheaper because the storage costs dominate. I think there’s ambiguity on which product is cheaper for a real-world application with meaningful load and data size.

I remain curious about the perception that cockroach is a meaningfully more expensive product. Where does that idea come from?

No. All blockchain is crap, no exceptions are fundamentally possible. The reality reflects that rather starkly.

> To my programmer brain, whether I'm solving t^3 = 2 or t^100 + t + 1 = 7 numerically

Typically when you're solving a polynomial equation in an applied context (programming, engineering, physics, whatever), it's because you have modeled a situation as a polynomial, and the information you really want is squirreled away as the roots of that polynomial. You don't actually care about the exact answer. You've only got k bits of precision anyway, so Newton's method is fine.

But we're not interested in the solution. We don't particularly care that t = approx. 1.016 is a numerical solution.[0] We're not using polynomials to model a situation. In mathematics, we are often studying polynomials as objects in and of themselves, in which case the kind of roots we get tells us something about polynomials work, or we are using polynomials as a lens through which to study something else. In either case it's less about a specific solution, and more about what kind of solution it is and how we got it.

Not to mention, specific polynomials are examples. Instead of t^100 + t + 1 = 7, we're usually looking at something more abstract like at^100 + bt + c.

[0] And in the rare case we actually care about a specific root of a specific polynomial, and approximate numerical solution is often not good enough.
This isn't a clear-cut case of humanism vs something else.

Humanist values include right to property ownership, and the right to get the benefits of your work. Artists deserve that, and can sell their rights to big studios if they want.

Just because it's easy to copy something, or just because studio execs were idiots who wouldn't get on board with streaming, or whatever else, doesn't mean it's morally right to copy someone's work for free.

So I'm not the only one who thinks about and pre-plans solutions to disaster situations in their head to pass the time. Not coincidentally I like to peruse prepper-type forums/subreddits. It's for those "you never know" and "someday this might be useful" type of events. FWIW, I'm not a guns and ammo prepper either (not that they're not important, but it's way down the list).

Well, Markdown is a superset of HTML where extra whitespace is usually collapsed, so this behavior isn't surprising. Having "source" Markdown looking meaningfully different from the rendered Markdown seems like an anti-pattern.
I use markdown for note-taking. I do as much reading as editing, and they're generally intertwined. I don't want to switch between "view mode" and "edit mode". I want to be able to embed links but not have the document become cluttered with long, ugly URLs. I want to use headlines and bulleted lists and have them auto-formatted. I also want to keep my notes in a 100% portable human-readable format. (No MS Word, no Bear, no Evernote, etc.)

For my use, the best solution is an app that shows me the formatted (styled) output, until I navigate the insertion point into it, and then expands the text to show the formatting.

Obsidian is an app that does this. I don't love other parts of it, but the editing experience works well.

(What I really want is the search/browse experience of nvUltra with the editing experience and cross-platform presence of Obsidian.)

The Intel warranty in unfortunately not advanced replacement, so I would be without my CPU for an indeterminate amount of time while they give it a think. The issue with the 7950X is that it isn't faster on my workload than an i9-14900K, even one that has been detuned to work correctly.

The "issues" with the 9000 seem to be contained to MS Windows, an operating system I haven't used since the 1990s.

There are some contenders in that list: TiDB, YugabyteDB, YDB.

Magnesium oxide is barely absorbed at all - as in studies show absorption around 4%. [1] It's mainly used as a laxative. The only reason it's sold in supplements as far as I can tell is it's cheap and supplements are roughly speaking entirely unregulated in America.

If you actually want to get the magnesium into yourself, you should use a chelated form like citrate, glycinate, taurate or L-threonate. These are in the 70-100% bioavailability range. L-threonate in particular has been shown to readily cross the blood-brain barrier. Not worth wasting your time and money on oxide or even worse somehow, stearate.

Hmm, I think you are correct, and from my perspective, speaking to the idea of human heuristics and biases.

Ironically, I think societies and cultures need long periods of peace (not in an extreme sense, but rather enough peace to allow for safer conflict) to have the time and ability to introspect on their heuristics and biases, as well as integrate other people's perspectives.
I haven't had the sedating effect, but I can concur I've not been impressed with what's available on the market. Many premium brands offer various magnesium formulas aimed at decreasing stress and/or improving sleep, but I've yet to find one that seems to make a difference.
> people make their situation worse

I'd still be more likely to say the officer is making their situation worse. Take away the false dichotomy of loud and obnoxious vs calm and compliant and consider someone who doesn't answer irrelevant questions and is waiting for the officer to do their job (calm and not compliant). That person might have their situation worsened by the officer who thinks the person they're talking to is obligated to answer to the officer's whims.

(Based on what I've seen of police body camera footage.)

Anyway, I'm not really familiar with Kim Dotcom's case. It sounds like he's been more on the "loud and obnoxious" side and the authorities involved are not city response officers; it's hard to draw a parallel. Just pointing out that "you're just making it worse for yourself" is something a schoolyard bully would say to the kid who's too small to defend themself but refuses to comply.
Why not just rent a root server and use WireGuard / OpenVPN for your trusted clients? Sounds like you want a Virtual Private Network and SSH is only one (pretty restricted) way to do this...

That's how capitalism works for vehicles. The same model name continues to grow and increase spending for people looking to buy them when they do. Eventually a new lower model may be inserted below for new buyers, or sometimes the grown model may be reset to a smaller or different form. It's similar to bundling/unbundling cycles which increase expenditure as you try to keep what you want.
It's not analogous. The person was being charged of a crime that happened in the UK and fled to the US, then was extradited back to the UK to be tried. In other words how extraditions usually work.

An applicable case would be someone being extradited from the US to the UK to be tried for a crime that happened while they were in a different country.
