I absolutely agree, if you have just a few people who are each paid 180k a year sitting around waiting for something to arrive because the low-quantity prototyping vendor is slow, it's not the be…

Can I ask if you are working with any established US defense-oriented electronics firms that go further up the supply chain in auditing/documenting sources and chain of custody of components and …

> I hate to ask this..but how exactly do you plan to turn this into a scalable business beyond being yet another Oshkosh? There are a number of small but very specialized US based defense sub-compo…

As modern datacenters go, 69,000 sq ft for a whole facility is REALLY small. Only some portion of that 69k is going to be actual conditioned space once you subtract all the ancillary services, things …

That thing is apparently $366 USD with 16GB of RAM, so my first thought is really "it had damn well better boot things properly if it costs so much".

Let's say that one does want to use a raspberry pi as a hypervisor and run a bunch of VMs on it... But why? A raspberry pi 5 with current market pricing for the 8GB or 16GB model is a really ba…

Recently saw an example of somebody who vibe coded a tool to mass export the contents of a 'Confluence' wiki into an instance of self hosted mediawiki, preserving everything. Mediawiki as a …

Beats how? In my experience 1-bit bonsai 27B is quite "dumb" when asked a question about a lot of things, as a canned repository of static knowledge from its training dataset. I mean, I lite…

Weird advertising on site: "Psylo is our privacy-first browser for iOS and iPadOS" Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Apple disallow any actual 3rd party browser engines? Like, an…

I've also been asking LLMs to draw SVGs of literal pelican cases and the results can be more amusing than pelicans on bicycles. You can get pelican cases with cameras, firearms, long cases, squar…

I don't, really, but 20B is also not that small... It's an intentionally weird question to see how confidently incorrect something will be. It certainly writes a plausible sounding explanat…

Why do you assume I don't also criticize living jerks?

The quantity of packages that exist at 162150 seems to say to me that there's a great many more than what are "necessary" for the operating system to exist. sudo apt-cache stats Total p…

How are they not comparable?

Other than what happened with 'xz', which was upstream of it getting packaged, how many times has this happened in the debian packages system? Also very popular.
