What do you mean? You use the 5lb tank via the Aarke instead of the CO2 cylinders? Or you refill somehow the CO2 cylinders? If it's the first one this sounds like the best of both worlds with the convenience of the countertop device and the cost-efficiency of the bulk CO2. It would be great if you elaborated some more!

Works like a charm for me, just like for you. Getting ~8 tok/s on my middle-of-the-road workstation laptop. Thanks for this!

Musician-turning-tech anarchist (?) Benn Jordan is making a very interesting series of videos about Flock cameras, their poor safety, and their gray-area interfacing with local governments:

I recommend them.

Mind sharing the fix as a patch? I would like to run it this way, too.

Regarding the teaching workload: This is not generalizable; during my undergraduate studies a significant fraction (maybe the majority? too long ago to be sure) of my classes were taught by graduate students, especially the math and computer science classes. At the graduate level, your statement was true for me at my second university. In fact, I'm not sure if a graduate student would be allowed even to teach a graduate-level class, considering their credentials.

My experience around universities (as an academic) is that, generally, the number of adjuncts scales linearly with overall funding/skill at grantsmanship in the department. That is, the smaller universities I know saddled professors and their graduate students with substantially more non-research work, including teaching and administration.

Re: the point about Zig: Especially considering I used and played a lot with D's BetterC model when I was a student, I wonder as a language designer what Walter thinks about the development and rise in popularity of Zig. Of course, thinking "strategically" about a language's adoption comes off as Machiavellian in a crowd of tinkers/engineers, but I can't help but wonder.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, you're (I think, implicitly) claiming that reducing Russian oil revenues doesn't impact their war capabilities. Why would that be the case?

Concerning how widespread DBT is: In the last five years in grad school, I knew many people doing a psychology PhD and DBT was one of the major training focuses for their clinical psychology curriculum. I would say the characterization given by this article matches very closely with what they told me over the last ~5 years.

My impression of DBT compared to CBT, based on what my friends told me, is that DBT is much more confrontational. I remember one friend even specifically said that it took her a long time to "unlearn" the therapist's natural response to affirm and validate, but then redirect negative feelings with skills.

I like it, but the fact that you don't have to input the whole word correctly and only each individual letter really conflicts with my muscle-memory to correct mistakes. I also think the animations and effects are a little over the top and they distract me from typing.

Objective statements require some evidence. Are you referring to evidence elsewhere in the conversation or have you forgotten to include it?

Probably an obvious addendum here, but the classes I remember having the most engaging lectures were flipped style where you didn't need to take notes necessarily, because the class was about discussing and deepening the understanding of material you saw already. That was true for my physics classes as well as philosophy. I think it was doubled up in usefulness when we were assigned material that asked us to act on our deepened understanding soon, e.g. before the next class period, such as one of the many "opinion pieces" we wrote for things like dualism/monism, etc.

Technical subjects achieve this with labs, too. It doesn't scale but we see clearly that scaling isn't always very desirable, especially if it leads to this regression.

I don't know but if you want to find out a good place to look is Luke Ranieri's Polymathy/ScorpioMartianus channels. He engages very actively with the Ancient Greek and Latin languages and his content is also useful for discovering other links.

The tl;dr with Ancient Greek as I understand it (warning) is that dramatically less content was written and over a much larger time period. Homer's works are even described as their own (Homeric) and as such it makes "Ancient Greek" a more nebulous term than "Latin," even when you account for Old/Classical/Late branches. In turn, making it in my estimation harder to have a Fr. Foster equivalent.

Look into it and let me know.

It's funny to hear someone describe my daily driver personal laptop in the same way as a 380Z. I use Slackware with Xfce4 and except for the lower screen resolution (1360x768) I have never noticed that it's not "modern." I even have a new battery so it gets 6-9 hours of use again.

Like you said, the giveaway is the poor performance, but if you're a systems developer that usually isn't a problem anyway. Emacs, C, assembly, some Chisel and Forth are all that I write on it.

Unless I misread they don't state exactly how the attack escalates privileges to install the driver. Could there be two versions of the attack with varying levels of severity?

This is very cool and very useful as a commuting cyclist. The routes that OSM and Google give me don't always have a high "reasonability" score in that they may be the most direct routes, but the road conditions are very uncomfortable for cycling for any one of many reasons.

One thing that would be very useful is to color the segments on the map based on the waytype. The proportions are given in the summary but unless I already know the route I can't tell where exactly those segments of difficult cobblestone are.

The use of LD_PRELOAD as part of the attack surface makes me think that a statically-linked binary has some value. Not a maximalist approach like some experimental distros, but I think there's clearly some value in your standard userland utilities always performing "as you expect," which LD_PRELOAD subverts. Plenty of Linux installs around the world get on fine using BusyBox as the main (only?) userland utility package.
