  • Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs

  • Supposedly. Says 148 in About.

  • Hundreds of American nurses choose Canada over the U.S. under Trump

    Jump

  • That scheme is totally crazy. Just because the money comes from the hospital budgets, it somehow passes as OK spending while it doesn't if it goes through the public budget for nurse salaries.

  • Maybe the article was written by AI that hallucinated the setting.

  • [Video] Gavin Newsom blames progressive language for Democrats losses

    Jump

  • Well, he's close to saying they need to focus on universal material issues more than leaning into identity politics, which I agree with, but I don't think that's quite what he's going for. Focusing on universal material issues does not mean throwing this or that marginalized group under the bus and he's already run over some people.

  • Ottawa is cutting 40,000 public-sector jobs. What it could mean for Canadians

    Jump

  • Austerity is common to both liberals and conservatives as both support the primacy of business over workers. More workers on the street increases the willingness of the workforce to work for less or do shittier jobs at someone else's business. The economic lib-con difference tends to be in degree (and lately competence), not in priorities.

  • Wow, StatsCan is hit particularly hard.

  • all you have to do is click on Settings > AI Controls. You'll then see a very bold and prominent option called 'Block AI Enhancements.'

    I don't see it on mobile though.

  • YSK that treatments for back pain can cost thousands. But scientists found some of the best fixes are actually free

    Jump

  • Is this stuff that competent physiotherapists know about? I had lower back issues and was going to physio for recovery from another joint fracture. The physiotherapist gave me some exercises for the back pain. I don't recall what they were but the pain disappeared and it hasn't returned 8 years later. I'm wondering of it was these kind of exercises.

  • Every company is trying to move itself into a position of power in its market to extract rents as a result of that power - for doing nothing productive extra.

  • Panasonic, the former plasma king, will no longer make its own TVs

    Jump

  • I used to be on the China-bad bandwagon when I bought our current Sony. I didn't understand nearly as well how production worked as I do now. The next time I have to buy one I'd evaluate on the basis of quality regardless of origin. I'd also avoid high amount of custom software to avoid annoyance and security holes, just like I did when I purchased our current one.

  • Interesting. 3B models run decently fast on my CPU and I have a lot of system RAM. 🤔

    E: Just tried it on 100% CPU on AMD 7700 with DDR5 3600 and it does 6.5t/s. Not bad.

  • They always made very good TVs, tube, plasma, LCD.

  • Yup, that's what I was referring to.

    Jump

  • Aaand another one bites the dust. So who's left that still makes non-PRC TVs? Just the Koreans I think. When I last shopped TVs I looked for non-PRC options and the only ones available in Canada were LG, Samsung and Sony. Sony already bit the dust a short while ago.

  • Raid Z2 help

    Jump

  • The acl, norm, xattr, dnodesize options are all to make ZFS behave like a Linux filesystem and are pretty standard for using ZFS on Linux. They aren't default because ZFS' defaults are for Unix.

  • Raid Z2 help

    Jump

  • I do:

     
        
sudo zpool create \
   -o ashift=12 -O acltype=posixacl -O compression=lz4 \
   -O dnodesize=auto -O normalization=formD -O relatime=on \
   -O xattr=sa \
   mypool \
   raidz2 \

   wwn-0x5000cca295e115f3 \
   wwn-0x5000cca2a1ef9c90 \
   wwn-0x5000cca295c03910 \
   wwn-0x5000cca29dd216b0

    I'm then going to optimize recordsize depending on the workload in datasets. E.g. Immich db might use 8K or 16K recordsize while the library dataset where the files are might be larger so that search is faster. Etc.
