  • If the markets reject OpenAI and Anthropic, the US should nationalize them

  • Each investor will get one CD of ChatGPT training data per share as a bankruptcy settlement. Every CD need to be inserted into a single user-provided server to train the model anew, because it's saved as a multipart archive.

  • Someone didn't like me posting such "awful" fried rice last week. So I'm reflecting on what they said and...

    Jump

  • This rice had touched the skillet heated above water-boiling temperature, so it's a fried rice.

    What more do you expect out of fried rice? A thick black crust dripping with oil? Looks edible enough to me.

    Fixes connection problems instantly. Yeah, I've put that into my crontab.

  • Why a Raspberry Pi shouldn't be powered through its GPIO pins

    Jump

  • You totally should power your Raspberry Pi through GPIO pins, once you grow up from blinking LEDs on your table to assembling some automation equipment that you expect to work at other people's premises.

    MicroUSB connection is the one biggest point of failure in any kind of Raspberry Pi automation project. Type-C socket is better, but it still depends on your cable to have appropriate quality, and if your project involves vibration, the cable may and will slip out.

    If you don't want your Pi to randomly stop working in two years, choose a good-quality power supply and solder it to 40-pin DuPont socket header. Do not use individual socket wires, they need very little effort to get loose. If you're paranoid, you can solder it directly to Raspberry Pi pins, but obviously you won't be using that particular Pi for any other project, also you should use heat shrink tubes.

    but the only thing that's broken is the fuse which can easily be replaced.

    Lolno. You're not replacing any SMD fuses without a heat gun and a workbench with a magnifying glass. Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 do not have fuses at all, overvoltage directly fries your PMIC and the replacement is impossible to find.

    Source: I own a fried RPi 4, and several RPi Zero, one of which failed to boot because MicroUSB cable wiggled in a socket.

  • GNOME Receiving Additional Design Help Thanks To Sovereign Tech Agency Fellowship

    Jump

  • Oooh. Gnome gets a dedicated software developer. Just imagine what he could add in two years.

  • xz comes standard with every Linux distribution, and it implements the same 7zip compression algorithm but with more options.

  • Runk

    Jump

  • Written in hand-optimized assembly with individual implementation for every CPU on the planet, with integer division function in 10000 lines of code impelented with XOR and bit-shifting which is somehow 0.3% faster than CPU built-in division operation.

  • help wanted

    Jump

  • I've recently used Codeberg. It's online about two hours per day.

  • cron PATH bit me again today

    Jump

  • You can append

     
        
2>&1 | logger -t my-cronjob

    to any command, and it will write logs to system journal which you can view withjournalctl

  • No, Linux didn't actually hit 10% market share. Blame bots

    Jump

  • They exist. But it's mostly viruses. Every competent script monkey runs their bots on Linux servers, unless it's someone's else PC.

  • Why does every VPN need to rewrite their own client?

    Jump

  • Most of the proprietary VPN clients are a fork of OpenVPN or Wireguard client with rebranding and a payment button.

  • A shell colon does nothing. Use it anyway. | Filip Roséen

    Jump

  • You can write true instead of : and it will look better, true is an actual command.

  • FreeBSD Just Removed The Last Of Its GPL-Licensed Code

    Jump

  • In a sane and healthy software company, they would contribute their changes back to BSD just because it makes easier to apply latest BSD changes amd security fixes.

    Most companies wont. They fork, modify the BSD code for their specific hardware, sell it, and never ever update thier software.

  • Why does every VPN need to rewrite their own client?

    Jump

  • Open-source VPN clients do not implement the most important feature - a monthly reminder to pay your bill. Well, and dumbing down the technical UI to one big green button, so even dumbest users would not have trouble with it.

  • My Wago connectors arrived

    Jump

  • The superior technique is solder the strands together at the tip of the wire, then plug it into Wago so you can disconnect it easily when you need to add another wire.

    Or well, crimp the ends and connect to a busbar with bolts, but that's for wires where you calculate your electricity in kilowatts.

  • My Wago connectors arrived

    Jump

  • By the time your wire reaches 200⁰ needed for your solder to melt, your insulation would already be burning. That's not a plausible scenario, or you need to deliberately make a bad solder joint, cutting half the strands in the wire so it overheats in that particular place.

  • TreeView is designed as an afterthought. Some manager at MICROS~1 was like 'ah yes we need an expanding nested list widget by tomorrow' and they mutilated text edit box to draw text lines that expand when you click them. It does not have keyboad focus. It can only be operated with a mouse. It does not have shadow or raised widget borders. It has black text on white background, while every other widget has Windows Gray background.

    The proper UI would be a separate button for each label, like multiple hierarchical combo boxes.

  • SK Hynix CEO: Current memory semiconductor prices are "abnormally high"

    Jump

  • AI companies gonna crash, and then memory manufacturers will be left with 50% oversupply no one wants to buy. So they don't build new factories yet.
