I’ve had good luck containing ooms with cgroups. I’m not sure if there is a state of the art for handling oom conditions beyond what Linux does. If anyone knows and can recommend some reading I would appreciate it.

Haiku/sonnet/opus are easily the best named models imo.

Please read the article before posting comments, or at least read a summary. The article is saying that GPT-4o style models are reaching their peak, and are being replaced by o1 style models. The article does not make value judgements on the usefulness of existing AI or business viability of AI companies.

> the End key

Surprised to hear that there is a user of this button. I don't think I've ever used them, and in the last decade or so I've bought keyboards that don't have them at all.

That's not correct, at least depending on your threat model. Having a password stored + totp in a password manager does give the advantage of protecting you against the loss of the stored password itself.

Specifically with 1password I have all three factors you've mentioned above. 1) knowledge - my vault password is memorized, 2) inherence (?) - biometrics used to unlock the vault on trusted devices, 3) possession - my account requires a security key to unlock.

Work, school, or ignorance.

> It doesn't matter whether Recall is present or not

Yes it does. Consider getting some malware that is detected a few minutes later and removed. For most people there would be no harm. With recall, you would be instantly screwed.

Wait so I can get a huge office building for the cost of three mediocre single family homes?

I hate this solution. Instead of simplifying tax law, the government is just building another layer of crap on top. If this is all they are going to do, why bother at all? Why not instead subsidize tax preparation software for “simple” cases and be done.

Cool or room temperature is the opposite of lukewarm. The range of day to day useful cold temperatures for water is really narrow. 72 F is room temp. 32 F is frozen. Cold is usually below 40. Cool is the stuff in between. There are many more useful temperatures between 72 F and 212 F. Having more words to describe those makes sense.

I’ve been using Kagi for a while now. It’s worth a shot. I’ve been very happy with the quality of the results and I never find myself feeling like I should check google too.

Spacemacs is a good project, but it certainly isn’t easier to set up than helix. Helix literally requires zero configuration to enable this functionality.

Better than nothing. Especially if you panic. It’s even better if they don’t kick in at all.

You have to warm them up, but let’s not pretend that EV and ICE are equally impacted by the cold.

“Right to work” is the new speak for “at-will”

I will probably get a multithreaded compiler before I can convince people to stop abusing templates shrug

> People like their car to look new/different

That's true in my experience. Though it is interesting that cars look more and more similar over time rather than different.

I'm still waiting for multithreaded c++ compiler. The project I work on has some nasty templating, and there are a few compilation units that take a long long time.

There shouldn't even be an assumption that two people's definition of consistent lines up. Just because you can draw an equivalence between Taylor and Apple, doesn't mean that other people will or should.

I don't have a Tesla, largely because I don't trust them due to all of the hype. Hype which is largely driven directly by Musk. That said, they are good cars for a lot of people and the sales numbers reflect that.

Are you saying that because you don't think Musk is trustworthy, others shouldn't be buying these cars?

I could make an argument around generative AI and our industry, but I won’t. We don’t know what the future holds, and there will always be smart people pushing towards AGI.

Instead, I will tell you this. Anxiety is an absolute beast. You should get help slaying it. There will always be existential threats. You need to build the tools to accept and adapt.

> … and cannot be fixed with technological hacks and definitely not by one of their core enablers

Well said. Hopefully the US Government will start being harder on monopolies in some meaningful way.

Seems like marketing to me. They got rid of the stainless steel frame from previous models, switched back to aluminum, then added a pointless band of titanium so they could say Titanium in their marketing.

The iPhone 15 pro is mostly aluminum. There is about a 1mm thick band of titanium around an aluminum frame.

Hasn’t Spotify always injected ads into podcasts regardless of premium? Are these new?

It lowers the barrier to market for the end consumer product, but all of the stuff in between is gone. No more compiler vendors, or xml libraries, etc.

I feel like you could make a strong argument that open source actually aids tech monopolies. Consider some business that needs <foo> to work. They can use OSS, buy, or build. If they buy, they share their profits with some other company, and they have to do that for the duration of their use of <foo>. If they build <foo> as proprietary software then they are stuck with keeping expertise in that software. If <foo> is instead OSS, then they can either directly use that component, or make some initial investment in that component, and then use it with minimal further overheads.

If you are building, then it better be your core competence. If you buy, then as you become larger and more successful, buying will be more and more expensive. Its hard to make your suppliers exclusive, and competition will be somewhat maintained.

The Linux Kernel is a great example. There used to be a ton of kernels to choose from maintained and developed by small businesses, but over time Linux was chosen as a good free option. Companies would then put relatively minor investments into customizing or maintaining Linux, avoiding needing a proprietary kernel. After 20 or so years of this, there is almost no money to be made as a small operating systems vendor.

Inverse square applies to spherically projected energy. It was directed in this case.

If you flip a coin and it lands on heads, that’s not an accident, it’s just chance. You get a risky procedure and die, well that’s chance too.
