EoP - Ethernet over Power

I generally do too. But then you’re also at the mercy of whether the site was designed with even the most basic of security in mind. Luckily the password managers all generate unique passwords so one site getting hacked and plaintext passwords stolen won’t get my bank info put at risk - but still.

Honestly I thought it was great when OAuth started making it easy to use my various pre-existing IDs as logins for websites. But now I cant remember which one is which and my password manager doesn’t give me any hints. Sigh.

Just store the JSON in a sqlite table with an extra column or two for commonly indexed stuff…?

You can pry sqlite out of my cold dead hands. Because I’ll probably die while using it out of frustration due to the poor performance of triggers.

You might want to consider using country codes in your language identifier.

en-US en-UK en-CA

all have slight variations in dialect. I don’t speak other languages but I imagine it is important in many cases.

Or a link to a thread on microsoft answers that 404s

What was that? I was busy installing a package in my node.js cluster to convert the first letter in a sentence to uppercase.

I’ve been using a debian based system for a dozen years. Then I decided to buy a NAS and turn it into a NixOS driven media server.

JFC I thought I knew linux and I was so wrong.

iirc the M line of chips is a superset of ARM instructions. So all programs compiled for aarch64 should be able to run but programs compiled for M chips probably won’t be able to run on aarch64 targets.

Has anyone here used Asahi? How well does it tend to work? I’m wondering when the bulk of the work will be done by the kernal and you could then install any random ARM distro.

Nah - the english language is just full of ambiguities that people tend to understand through context or intonations from speaking that are lost in text

… what?

Did you even read my earlier comment?

I explicitly meant “as”. It’s great as autocomplete. Not as an agent to complete programming tasks.

Well, this kind of AI won’t ever be useful as a programmer. It doesn’t think. It doesn’t reason. It cannot make decisions besides using a ton of computational power and enormous deep neural networks to shit out a series of words that seem like they should follow your prompt. An LLM is just a really, really good next-word guesser.

So when you ask it to solve the Tower of Hanoi problem, great it can do that. Because it saw someone else’s answer. But if you ask it to solve it for a tower than is 20 disks high it will fail because no one ever talks about going that far and it flounders. It’s not actually reasoning to solve the problem - it’s regurgitating answers it has ingested from stolen internet conversations. It’s not even attempting to solve the general case because it’s not trying to solve the problem, it’s responding to your prompt.

That said - an LLM is also great as an interface to allow natural language and code as prompts for other tools. This is where the actually productive advancements will be made. Those tools are garbage today but they’ll certainly improve.

Some FOSS projects are supported by having a for-profit company offer turnkey packaging and support for those projects. Look at TrueNAS. They sell nice NAS hardware preconfigured with their software and the profits support the development.

Sounds like the bedrock-only part is just a visual update. If you’re on Java you already have access to shaders.

But still - fuck MS for making bedrock a totally separate game so they could avoid giving alpha buyers free in app purchases.

What about when the sex is … wrong?

I just uninstalled it on my work pc. I got fed up when certain applications saved a cache to somewhere in %APPDATA% that got backed up every Tuesday. The apps then saw the cache changed and attempted to reconcile the changes and corrupted my work.

Never again.
