looking for vsphere alternatives?
migrate to yodakube!
hmm, ok, maybe in a few months, still developing it we are. but ready soon it will be.

Are we still talking about supporting open source maintainers? I hope so, because I wrote about a more holistic solution than giving everyone a patreon or whatever.

Hell yeah, submitted a question to the NYPL and got that unmistakable default Bootstrap confirmation alert. I love to see it.

There's a reason private capital doesn't pour into semiconductor fabrication. Just ask the [potato] chip folks in Idaho.

But deploying sovereign wealth to take on the CUDA monopoly and build some fabs isn't a bad idea (particularly when compared to how it's been spent on WeWork and rideshare blitzscaling).

If you are interested in being an SME for my thesis (AI used in network defense security topic), and you are cybersecurity/sysadmin/auditor... please lemme know! I could use your help.

If our civilization collapses, extraterrestrial archeologists can look at this and be impressed. Three satellites following the Earth in an equilateral triangle, each 2.5 million kilometers from the other two. Each contains two gold cubes in free-fall. The satellites accelerate just enough so they don't get blown off course by the solar wind. The gold cubes inside feel nothing but gravity.

Lasers bounce between each cube and its partner in another satellite, measuring the distance between them to an accuracy of 20 picometers: less than the diameter of a helium atom! This lets the satellites detect gravitational waves — ripples in the curvature of spacetime — with very long wavelengths, and correspondingly low frequencies.

It should see so many binary white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes in the Milky Way that these will be nothing but foreground noise. More excitingly, it should see mergers of supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies as far as... the dawn of time, or whenever such black holes were first formed. (The farther you look, the older things you see.)

It may even be able to see the "gravitational background radiation": the thrumming vibrations in the fabric of spacetime left over from the Big Bang. These gravitational waves were created before the hot gas in the Universe cooled down enough to become transparent to light. So they're older than the microwave background radiation, which is the oldest thing we see now.

It's called LISA - the Laser Interferometric Satellite Antenna. And we're in luck: ESA has just decided to launch it in 2035.

AzureML is so full of sharp edges that they might as well move the "Troubleshooting" section to "Quickstart"

This temple has two enclosed courtyards with rain pools. (I am sure there’s a proper architectural term that I don’t know.) There’s something very pleasant about being both inside and outside.

Large language models hold a mirror to society, reflecting not just what we say, but what - and how - we think.

It is depressing how often Bender & Koller 2020 is cited incorrectly. My best guess as to why this is is that people writing about whether or not LLMs 'understand' or 'are agents' have such strongly held beliefs about what they want to be true that this impedes their ability to understand what we wrote.

Or maybe they aren't actually reading the paper --- just summarizing based on what other people (with similar beliefs) have mistakenly said about the paper.

I've updated the Modern Tools list to include another new take on top - glances - as well as hwatch and viddy, two new takes on the venerable watch. I've also deprecated exa references in favor of eza, as exa was forked and abandoned some time ago (I'm told) and eza is where the community is these days.

Thank you to everyone who contributed.

“For the non-saboteur: this is obviously a story about how to get the most out of your team. Productivity in general is a story of a thousand cuts, and none of these things are in themselves the thing that will ruin the productivity. But productivity adds up on a logarithmic scale, meaning that all these things compound in a multiplicative way.”

it's funny to ask chatgpt a question and watch it spit out a latex formula, "analyzing" for a while, and "oops why it output 100% probability, doesn't make sense, let's try another formula" (it's 0 according to common sense), repeat a few times and then give up
