  • Tulsi Gabbard’s history with Russia is even more concerning than you think

    Jump

  • I met her about 9 years ago or so in NYC through a friend of mine over coffee. At the time she was a democrat with strong views about war, given her past experiences that made sense.

    Now she is fully unhinged. Sad to see these people who are so willing to change allegiances just to acquire some semblance of power.

  • ‘Thirsty’ ChatGPT uses four times more water than previously thought

    Jump

  • Why does the article make it sound like cooling a data center results in constant water loss? Is this not a closed loop system?

    I’m imagining a giant reservoir heat sink that runs throughout a complex to pull heat out of the surrounding environment where some liquid evaporates and needs to be replenished. But first of all we have more efficient liquid coolants, and second that would be a very lazy solution.

    I wonder if they’ve considered geothermal for new data centers. You can run a geothermal loop in reverse and use the earth as a giant heat sink. It’s not water in the loop, it’s refrigerant, and it only needs to be replaced when you find the efficiency dropping, which can take decades.

    I haven’t used anything but Around (internally) for the last 5 years, and then someone external sends me a google meet invite or a zoom and I cringe.

  • I have an M3 Max that does this, but only when I plug in two monitors at once over Thunderbolt. It doesn’t always happen either, haven’t figured out exactly what is causing it. I know my M1 is only capable of a single external monitor, so part of my suspects their multi monitor support is just poorly implemented over the latest TB spec.

    Using M1 with a thunderbolt dock doesn’t do it, so I know it’s not the monitor. Plus switching out one monitor for another doesn’t fix it.

    In the past to debug this problem I’ve used BetterDisplay

  • I use Arch for personal and gaming, Debian for self hosting and hacking, Alpine for containerized cloud deployments.

  • Trump campaign leaving some cities with hundreds of thousands in unpaid bills after rallies

  • He was doing this way before 2015. Look at the long list of people and businesses he has screwed over since the 80s by not paying his bills.

  • To be fair to all those people that misunderstand it, they are marketing it as Artificial Intelligence, which it isn’t. So one could argue it is in fact a lie, as most marketing seems to be these days. It’s difficult for us humans to see the difference between intelligence and an “alright prediction of what might come next”. Such as when we struggle to tell the difference between the truth and a lie someone told us. It can be deceiving.

    Since marketers have bastardized the term, and we’ve begun using AGI in place of the old meaning, confusion is only going to get worse until existing LLMs become somewhat boring, and marketing latches onto some other trend.

    With that said, I find the utility of this thing we now call AI to be pretty useful for my own needs, but that’s not stopping people from trying to fit this square shaped solution into circle shaped holes.

  • What is your directory structure like for programming?

    Jump

  • Similar question was recently asked here

    Generally what I’ve seen work well in my career and is consistent across thousands of devs I’ve worked with: ~/[whateverFolderNameYouWillRemember]/[organization]/[project]

    I recommend when it comes to finding things to just use a fuzzy finder, such as fzf.

  • I've had ios apple phones all my post-2010 life and am thinking about buying my first android phone, what are some things to know before switching?

    Jump

  • I’ve switched between android and iOS every couple of years since 2008. My recommendation: just keep using iOS.

    The experience is more polished, it’s less difficult to figure out what to buy. You don’t have to worry about Google doing more insane shit, like harvesting and selling all your data, or getting rid of a product you’ve relied on for years. Not to mention my older iPhones work more reliably than my older Android phones do, so even from a support perspective Apple is the better choice.

    My only gripe with iOS is that Safari is locked to the OS version you’ve installed, so when you stop receiving phone updates, your browser gets stuck in the past too.

  • Thousands of hacked TP-Link routers used in years-long account takeover attacks

  • I have setup plenty of MikroTik routers, never had any issues myself.

  • BuildJet is a YCombinator backed startup with a ton of attention, and a million extra to burn on top of what investors have already given them. They would have to royally fuck this up at this point, most people would be so lucky to have the opportunity they have here.

  • In his article Jeff said:

    They add a copper plating, and give it a polished gunmetal grey finish.

    Apparently to do all that, they had to order a batch of 5,000 cases, which I hope means they also have a ton of these ready to go.

  • I present: Managarr - A TUI and CLI to help you manage your Servarr instances

  • Yea I also just use LunaSea, especially when I’m not at a keyboard. I imagine the TUI will be pretty handy when I find myself well… at a terminal.

  • I have a metal dual USB A & C microSD card reader on my keychain. It lets me swap out cards easily, and should it ever be damaged, the chances are slimmer that the tiny microSD will be destroyed.

  • Where Do You Guys Throw Your Local Git Repos?

  • ~/sites

    I have always used it. I liked how it was easy to find in the home directory amongst other folders. Then under that I have a folder for every organization, including myself, and repositories live in those folders.
