Yeah that particular issue doesn't bother me much anyway, just delays startup by a second or two.

For the past month or so, I've been getting "RDSEED32 is broken" and it seems to be an issue with AMD's drivers? Either way, there doesn't appear to be a solution for me outside of getting a new CPU, but it also still boots and works so I'm not too bothered by it either.

But when updates roll around? Yeah, usually a good idea to make a backup before updating. Same is true with Windows, of course, but I already expect Windows to need a reinstall every year or so.

After being fired and then brought back to the agency in June, Weiser ultimately resigned.

They tried that, it seems.

Ever since they bumped the min-spec Mac Mini to 16GB RAM, it has looked like such a great deal. The upgrades are still way too expensive (except RAM now I guess?) but base model is great.

Yes, actually. Data centers are designed to cool down components pretty efficiently. They aren't cooking the RAM at 500°C.

[–] TehPers@beehaw.org 3 points 1 day ago (3 children)

500°C would be way above the safe operating temps, but most likely yes.

Server memory is probably reusable, though likely to be either soldered and/or ECC modules. But a soldering iron and someone sufficiently smart can probably do it (if it isn't directly usable).

I haven't watched a 60m piece in years, at least until now. Now I've watched 15m of a 60m piece that I wouldn't have watched if it aired normally.

Other stories. I believe one was about someone climbing Mt. Everest, for example.

My experience, having actually tried this on a huge codebase: my time was better spent looking at file names and reading source code myself to answer specific questions about the code.

Using it to read a single file or a few of them might go better. If you can find the right files first, you might get decent output.

Spouting bullshit? If so, I agree.

Codebases in the 100k+ to 1m+ sloc can be very difficult for a LLM (or human) to answer detailed questions about. A LLM might be able to point you in the right direction, but they don't have enough context size to fit the code, let enough the capability to actually analyze it. Summarize? Sure, but it can only summarize what it has in context.

"People" are not a single entity. Everyone is different. Many would cheer for him no matter what, whether they are diehard Rs or they have some kind of parasocial relationship or whatever. They don't care what he says, only that he said it. Some would cheer because they like what he says, regardless of who said it. Some would disagree and become disillusioned. And some might even hate him now.

He still has a lot of supporters. I nearly cut my mom off recently, and I rarely talk to my dad. Both of them rampant supporters. Naturally, their support of this bullshit treatment towards innocent trans people (like the guy I'm married to) was enough. And they'll defend it still, even disrespecting us in the process, or jumping through mental hoops to explain how he doesn't actually hate trans people and isn't attacking them on a near daily basis. I can't explain why they do this, and honestly it's not my job to change them as much as I'd love to (and I've tried). All I can assume is that my parents don't respect who I married, and that's enough for me. But my point is they're still out there.
