realityloop··on GigaGPT: GPT-3 sized models in 565 lines of code
According to https://www.anandtech.com/show/16626/cerebras-unveils-wafer-... the WSE-1 was $2Million, so I expect the WSE-2 is an arm and a leg too.

realityloop··on Modern action films fetishize the body even as they desexualize it (2021)
It’s important that this was an average, there were people at each end of the bell curve.. and there still will be in future statistics. I would expect that a substantial part of subsequent change in the average is caused by shift in population to cities, where there is far more opportunity to “rack up numbers”. It’s not uncommon to come into contact with people in their late 20’s or early thirties that are still virgins (both genders). I place a bet that for a non-insignificant number of people that don’t engage in intimate relationships, it’s due to body issues caused by the very media the linked article reference.

realityloop··on Poor Man’s Bose – Open Office and on the Go Noise Control
I have to report the same experience, and I used to turn the volume right down when using noise cancelling too
realityloop··on Poor Man’s Bose – Open Office and on the Go Noise Control
This the same reason I stopped using my QC25’s i’ve often wondered if any other people may have had the same result.

My logic was that they are creating opposing frequencies at the same level of sound pressure as the ambient you are trying to override meaning it’s still loud, just not in a perceptible way. So especially on airplanes, I now use earplugs instead.

realityloop··on APFS – A Backup Software Developer’s Perspective
I haven’t tried the GM seed yet, but I’ve reported a pretty annoying bug with inconsistent directory listings from host into guest with vagrant. A listing in the guest will be missing entries, but you can CD into the missing folders. This causes sites not to work as the application in the guest can’t see files it requires. The only way to resolve it to date has been backup and reinstall with without apfs.
realityloop··on Lightest ever direct drive extruder for FDM 3D Printers launched on Kickstarter
Hi I'm one of the co-creators of the Zesty Nimble, feel free to ask questions here.

For fellow Delta owner we hope this is something you all get a great level of use from and it opens up what filaments are printable for you, for Cartesian owners we think you can unlock faster printing speeds and better quality prints.

It's been around a year in the making, we really hope that shows through.

A friend and I have been working on this for close to a year now, carriage weight per hot-end is now under 35grams.

Feel free to ask questions.

realityloop··on Discord server for 3D Printing community real time chat
Hi Everyone

I started up a Discord server for anyone that wants to talk about 3d printing in real time.

I've currently created channels for:

General https://discord.gg/CMEaYrq

Delta https://discord.gg/hXtTGRD

Cartesian https://discord.gg/2meJvmm

SLA https://discord.gg/NzUf4ud

Feel free to let me know if you think other channels should be created.

Cheers Brian

realityloop··on Why DNS in OS X 10.10 is broken, and what you can do to fix it
I posted this issue on hn a week or so ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8969581).. I tried via AppleCare to escalate this and the response from Apple engineers was that it's expected behaviour.. Also if not for a few key apps I'd be switching to some Linux variant.. Here is a video showing the bug with a comparison of 10.9 and 10.10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m9OI_AjCx8
realityloop··on OS X offline DNS bug: no local DNS server when disconnected from networks
So the response from Apple is that is expected behavior, and the applecare contact suggested I use the hack proposed at http://arstechnica.com/apple/2015/01/why-dns-in-os-x-10-10-i... (which I sent to them)

At this stage he doesn't know if it will ever get fixed.. no indication from engineering..

realityloop··on OS X offline DNS bug: no local DNS server when disconnected from networks
This video shows that as of OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) you can't use your machine for local web dev with a local DNS server with a wildcard to access your local sites when you are disconnected from a network

This is a real P.I.T.A. because you can't work on things when on planes/trains without Internet access unless you create a manual hosts entry, likewise it makes you look less professional when presenting things on premise at a clients.

I'm trying to work with Applecare on a resolution, but their not really groking it at the moment, and if it can't be resolved I'll be seriously considering a change of OS.
