Caffeinate is burned into my muscle memory at this point. I attribute that to the realization that you could repeat opt flags. There's something catchy about

Bookish teens will read them anyway.

Giving them the option to do so in school, I would imagine would be met thankfully by them if done well, and a "no thanks" from the less-bookish - who very possibly will go on to read them later on in life.

Yeah. Redis (valkey now for me mostly) is where I go for that extra oomph if the patterns make sense (or some level of scripting for dev work makes sense; the lua integrations is chef's kiss.).

Yeah that's super frustrating. It sounds like a classic IT dev issue when IT is ops though to me - and I'm happy to be wrong.

I personally believe (notice the caveat here) that debugging relatively well designed databases on a good RDBMS is an easy task, if given access to logs, data (or even a redacted replica), and docs. Choose the docs along with one of the first two and it shouldnt remain a mystery for long. I've worked with postgresql a lot over the last couple decades, and even the most convoluted live-in-prod bug isn't wasn't half as bad as the vibe coded nonsense I see and debug weekly (not hating on AI; fwiw this is more a symptom of process/lack there of around integration of the tech IMO).

What does that...mean?

I always thought that too. I spend a lot of time outside and check rigorously. Very often I find a recently attached tick. Found a fully-engorged deer tick half-detached not too long ago - pulled it off jaw-intact. In treatment for early-mid stage disseminated Lyme again, for the third time. Certainly a hidden tax one pays living in New England...I've recently put a lot more effort into things like permethrin.

From what I understand, you're spot on with your last note. Larval stage can be extremely hard to see even when fully engorged. Adult-stage ticks (at least Deer Ticks) are the size of a large grain of cooked brown rice. I've seen fully engorged nymph-stage that rival the size of a grape...

If that's all it took to make Deepseek so good, I'll gladly ship High-Flyer all my personal 150k claude/chatgpt conversations in exchange for Deepseek 5 (and a rack of B200s or Ascend chips)

What I'll never understand about this whole thing is why most people seem to easily tolerate the rigamarole of maintaining an entire host SBC OS and sending or even cross compiling binaries to it, for microprocessor work. I much prefer maintaining a dev env on machine(s) and sending and flashing a binary over the wire. Maybe I just dislike state, but the pico (and several other MCU ecosystems these days) make it so easy to

I still find his pattern recognition book useful and informative. It may be dense, but some of us consider that a positive for 'reference' literature. That book was one of very few that still holds up well fr when it was published - truly in on of the last "dark ages" of ML.

I think those down voting you are perhaps overly eager. I upvoted. Grab "Deep Learning" - you'll find it useful, imteresting, and likely less 'dense' in the negative sense!

Not to sound facetious, but perhaps enough runs at different param/token sizings to define a curve?

I feel the need to link the top level comment[0] the venerable cstross posted the time I submitted the same link a few years ago.

I also want to quote a comment of his on THIS posting of the link[1], just because he said he is chill being quoted on his referenced comment.

And finally, I want to state here that I fullheartedly agree with aforementioned comment and I too crave a banksian fully automated luxury gay space communism future.

I like this. It's just saying you have responsibility for the tools you wield. It's concise.

Side note, I'm not sure why I feel weird about having the string "Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION" [TOOL1] [TOOL2] in the kernel docs source :D. Mostly joking. But if the Linux kernel has it now, I guess it's the inflection point for...something.

Sorry, what are you talking about? Just release it? Are you talking about trying to make money off it? Are you claiming you reverse engineered ecu tuning software you paid for?

An RTS where you could only swap between FPV views of each of your units would be fun. Or at least different. Savage II but there is only 1 player per team, and no overhead view. And you can wrench control from a bot at any time.

As a kid I played something similar to this, and monetary value (A=0; J=11; Q=12; K=13) was introduced as a rule. Someone played a card they wrote on a 10 that forced me to eat a worm to destroy the card (and get $10). I never got my $10 and felt guilty for months after, and guiltier when I realized I felt guilty for eating a worm without compensation. The fact I felt I would not feel guilty otherwise confused me.

Would play again.

I haven’t been back since February last year. I guess a win for some people!
