This definitely solves a good problem. Company don’t keep generally good confluence docs and documentation. Somehow if there is common source of truth it helps to entire org in a company. But I was wandering if it will be helpful or not for external world because I feel companies usually double check any information before releasing it publicly ..especially related to code base.(Just a thought).

Why is it NetBSD and which services do you have? I’d love to read about that, and I think I might utilise mine that way too.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted.

“But just to be sure, I got in touch with a friend of mine who works at a research reactor, and asked him what he thought would happen to you if you tried to swim in their radiation containment pool.

“In our reactor?” He thought about it for a moment. “You’d die pretty quickly, before reaching the water, from gunshot wounds.”


I really like this idea. When I was a kid I learned to play chess. The number of people who take action without thinking what will happen next is staggering.

TLDR: Python gevent compiled with -Ofast messes up x87 floating point unit state. Bad for PyTorch.

the current thing activism is their substitute for religious zealotry, and you can't be a believer without doublethink. our blessed homeland / their barbarous wastes, yada yada.


If bots get good enough to know what links they're scraping, chances are they'll also avoid scraping links they don't need to! The problem solves itself!

Flux backbone is too rigid. Very difficult to fine tune. Qwen is where it’s at these days.

I did exactly half of the puzzles last year, and I think my case is not too uncommon. I am perfectly fine with this, only maybe it would be slightly better if the puzzles came out every two days instead, to ward off the FOMO and give us more time per puzzle?

Keep in touch regularly with your friends and acquaintances after you no longer are in the same school or company. When 25, it feels like you will know and remember them forever, and vice-versa.

I'm here to tell you that you won't, unless you make an effort.

(Of course, I remember the guy who was in a group I ate lunch with in grad school who ended up running Google 25 years later; I don't know if he remembers me...)


Unless you fine tune it… the guys of Qwen are amazing.

> Managing code is one of the cornerstones of software engineering. It would be like refusing to learn how to use a screwdriver because someone really just wants to hammer things together.

Ok, then make the commands make sense. For example 90%+ people has no idea what rebase does, yet it is a useful command.

People does not want to learn with git outside of what works, because they can't experiment. The moment they will "hold it wrong" whole repo will break into pieces, unable to go forward or backwards. Hopefully they did not commit.

Git feels like a hammer covered in razor blades. The moment you will try to hold it differently you will cut yourself and somebody else will need to stich you up.


This is godawful, I hate it. If you aren't physically disabled or injured you have no business using this kind of thing. I do not want to live in the world where otherwise fully-capable human beings are not even using their own legs to walk anymore either because they can't be bothered to get off the couch for an hour a day or because they don't have the time to improve their health.

Absolutely disgusting nonsense. Get off my lawn, robot hippies


I couldn’t care less about the creator’s behavior if the software they wrote works wonders.

No comments here about the odd non-standard "say yes to say no" sliders for data collection and selling? I've only seen this a few times in privacy settings windows but enough times that I'm now wary of just assuming that gray means opt-out.

Mostly no.

Stop drinking. If you can consistently stop after one, you can do that, but zero is way easier than one. Bad hangovers are brain damage. Don’t ever do one again.

The most important relationships in your life are the ones where you’re naturally your best self. Prioritize those. My best relationships are the ones where I’m a good friend to them. You might be thinking of it backwards. (I sometimes have made that mistake). A betrayal of a good friend will haunt you forever. Think carefully about how to be true to those most important to you.

Save for down payment and buy a house. That’s the path to generational wealth.

Spend less than you make.

Create a habit of daily exercise. This becomes increasingly important in later years.

Everyone should work for a big successful company at least once (I used to say FAANG, but obviously with the renames that’s not true and also the world has changed. Start by making your list of the most important companies in the world). Learn as much as possible from the smartest people possible (also keep track of what NOT to do and how not to behave). Don’t stay so long it eats your soul.


Image editing model training is fascinating. One method for training image editing models involves using a second model to apply the inverse of the change you want the model to learn. Typically, the task you’re asking the second model to perform is easy, whereas the inverse task is difficult.

For example, you might ask the second model to cover the person’s face with a black square; a VLM model notes that the person is a man with brown hair and round glasses. Then, during training, the resulting image is presented along with the prompt, “Remove the black square from the man’s face. He has brown hair and round glasses.”

The model now learns how to remove black squares and replace them with a man’s face with brown hair and round glasses.

Since the training data is easily synthesized using existing models, you can generate enormous amounts of it - often very cheaply. For specialized editing tasks, this technique is really powerful. Build your training set for your special purpose task, fine tune an existing image editing model such as Qwen Image Edit to produce a new checkpoint or LoRA (often a LoRA is more than good enough) and then you have a special purpose model to perform whatever narrow editing task you need it to perform on your image data.

> I have a feeling the people who write these haven't really used LLMs for programming because even just playing around with them will make it obvious that this makes no sense

This is one problem with LLM generated code. It is very greenfield. There’s no correct or even good way to do it. Because it’s a little bit unbounded in possible approaches and quality of output.

I’ve tried tracking prompt history in many permutations as a means to documenting and making rollbacks more possible. I hasn’t felt like that's the right way to think about it.


Sort of related, but given that FTP is supported, I wonder how much work it would take to use telnet as a transport.

I would donate money for this comment to be on billboards. It's exactly how I feel.

Heck, gemeni is obviously so successful and gets used so frequently that android had to hijack the power button (at least on pixels) so when you hold the power button, it activates gemini instead of turns the phone off. Clearly, that is because everyone intends to activate AI instead of turn the damn phone off when they hold the power button. /s

Yet I know most people are also [probably] irritated by stuff like this. But _we_ do it anyway...


Tried to upload a large video, "processing" failed after 1 hour. Repeated three times and did not succeed in the end.

You only see that after the click.

I expected different posters for the same movie from different African countries.

Imagine buying a cook book of European cuisine only listing UK dishes.


Or you have an employee badge.

> Voyage to Arcturus

The blurb reads like a Gene Wolf story, surreal in its landscapes and interactions.

I will give it a try, and follow up with Wright's book.

Thanks for the recommendation!


Technically? Microsoft Word certainly lets one write smut, and Photoshop certainly allows one to draw pornography? They won’t like, produce NSFW things automatically of course.

> Hate to be the…

You don’t seem to hate it that much?


Yeah, copyright infringement isn't stealing, copyright shouldn't even exist to begin with.

I just think it's especially asinine how corporations are perfectly willing to launder copyrighted works via LLMs when it's profitable to do so. We have to perpetually pay them for their works and if we break their little software locks it's felony contempt of business model, but they get to train their AIs on our works and reproduce them infinitely and with total impunity without paying us a cent.

It's that "rules for thee but not for me" nonsense that makes me reach such extreme logical conclusions that I feel empathy for terrorists.


We do! An org can define precedence rules, but the engine looks at things like recency, authority, majority voting etc. We also flag criticality to raise manual reviews when needed.
