I run a few VMs in a “homelab”. Was interested in redundancy so could work on system without taking down home networking… Familiar with GlusterFS, corosync/pacemaker, etc…
So to go from one system to 2, need a third system to at least ensure quorum.
Of course, storage has the same problem.
Active-active has its complexities. Maybe active-standby good enough with DRND. Still a lot to configure…
Filesystem replication now means my NVMe drives will be limited to 1Gbit/s networking link. 10GB somewhat difficult on SFF PC and expensive.
Physical location also matters. Standby probably should be somewhere else… But what about 3rd node? Wired networking not everywhere…
This ends up being a lot of moving parts, expense, and headache…
Guess what is fast? Single node. Move the storage drive to similar spare SFF PC. Two screws, takes about 3 minutes max. Local RAID-1 to guard against sudden failure… Backup a couple times a year for peace of mind.
Even before AI, LinkedIn was already a cesspool of people posting trite crap frequently just to advertise that they have “followers” and collect new ones. Worse than the recruiters.
In what bizarro world would I want to follow a rando, who has absolutely nothing to do with my career, on a platform purportedly designed for like minded people to advance their career/business?
Might as well consider the dog with the most fleas as the “Alpha”!
You hit the nail on the head! Today’s fast paced world demands clear, concise communication. Fear not! Artificial Intelligence (AI) can allow people to communicate more effectively, allowing them to get a few extra minutes at the gym without guilt. Would you like some tips for improving work-life balance?
One class of doctors thinks roughly 250 is enough for a middle aged guy - anything over shouldn’t be medically treated. Of course, the “men’s clinics” don’t rest until it’s over 1000...
With the standard range so wide (even after age adjustment), why isn’t it measured annually, like the CBC and others?
Sure, it’s easy to point at obesity, but statistical ranges completely fail the individual.
Just today Google’s AI told me that 3**4 was 181 because I asked it for bases such that when raised to the 4th power had a 1’s digit in the leftmost place.
Yeah, LLMs aren’t designed for this kind of thing but it was really confident in its assertion… it picked the example too!
Even for research, a lot of CS papers seem like cosplay.
In the place of hard math, models, proofs, quantitative analysis of past approaches, etc. there is simply an “Architecture” section with much navel gazing. The paper topic is not a formal analysis but merely a description of a thing that was made.
Ironically, the least important part of an engineering research paper is the part describing the thing actually built/simulated. That is merely validation of the theory.
Despite the appeal of such an approach, I find this extremely unsettling.
Imagine if we had declared that Math for FIR filter design in Signal Processing was too difficult, so we’d just test random FIR coefficients until something good came out.
That sounds pretty horrible but at least the frequency response of the resulting filter would be known. We’d at least understand the behavior of the final product.
With LLMs, we don’t even know what we’re getting out of it.
(And no, I don’t see anything wrong with adaptive filters and such. Their behavior can still be quantified)

It’s way too easy to overthink stuff…
