I used to think about it a lot when I was younger because it seemed so unfair that life comes to an end. As I've gotten older (and closer to the inevitable) I think about it less. Hopefully you'll get to the point you realise worrying about something you can't change isn't productive use of the time you have left. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do what you can to eat well, keep fit and put off that final reckoning as much as you can.

I don't think Google drive supports encryption.

Your build artefacts will already be in RAM as the kernel will utilise any spare for the block cache. The block cache is evicted using a least recently used (LRU) basis when the system is under memory pressure. Using ram based filesystems is basically bypassing the kernel and reducing it's flexibility to make the best use of spare RAM in the system.

To be fair those aren't bad choices. I would certainly recommend the Shawshank redemption, I've seen it many times and it hasn't gotten old.

Very mediative.

The new charge of endangering life might have some effect although as I understand it the smugglers often nominate one of the travellers to "drive" the boat until it is picked up. I'm confused about the denying citizenship clause though. The last 14 years the Tories where complaining that human rights legislation meant they couldn't deny asylum to people based on the way they got to the country. What changed?

Finally! I can see why Arm might have been tetchy about QC getting a subsidised server class chip but they could have just waited until the renegotiation of the architecture license. God knows how much bad blood has been created between them and one of their most prolific silicon shippers.

I'm usually wary of hot takes of developing situations but he obviously knows his stuff. Very clear explanation, very professional response from the controllers who must be in shock in the moments after.

I just spec a machine up to the defined limit and then buy it, install and claim back on expenses. I'm fact "do I have root on my machine" is one of my standard interview questions.

Their paper outlines the training process but doesn't supply the actual data or training code. There is a project on huggingface: https://huggingface.co/blog/open-r1 that is attempting a fully open recreation based on what is public.

 

This is an interesting article of the fish shells journey of covering to rust which I found quite interesting. I'm especially interested because of projects I work with that are currently experimenting with rust.

 

The long awaited Cass report has been published looking at gender affirming care in the NHS.

 
 

Are there any good recommendations for water control valves? I want to control a automatic watering system and need something to attach to the garden tap. Open firmware would be a bonus.

 

I found this post interesting for my layman's understanding of LLMs and some of the underlying architecture choices that are made.

 

I wrote this as a layman's primer to the basics of LLMs and other generative AI. I'm still early on in my journey but hopefully it helps explain things to other newcomers even if it glosses over the details.

 

They covered a number of topics but for me the most terrifying was the examples of deep fakery that had already been used in elections.

I wanted to ask the community if they had had any experience with deep fake media online? If so did you notice or did your need to be told it was? How much effort do you take to verify things you see online?
