Whompy wheels!

There’s two nines right there! Just not the ones you need.

Yes, I self host the English Wikipedia dump, as well as a few cooking sites and topic specific stack exchange dumps available in zim format.

My goal is:

• reduce dependence on public internet. In the event of an outage or restriction I’d like some books and other content I can use to entertain myself
• locally preserve a snapshot of information before it is possibly diluted by LLM edits

Use Asafoetida. It has been used for 1000s of years. Poorly written article that focused only on western science.

I also run this way. NFS4 mount for the media Dir. Cache Dir on the local SSD. No problems streaming 2-3 devices. NAS is happy to serve other files at the same time.

Docker host is nothing special, old Mac mini running Ubuntu.

Already flagged on HN. Maybe there is an innocent explanation, but I kinda think they try to suppress anything not pro-AI

Its not a Python oddity, its just IEEE 754.

I have consistently been trying to use AI for the actual tasks I need to complete for work over the last year or so (we are gently encouraged to try it, but thankfully not forced). I have found it to be “successful” at maybe 1 in 10 tasks I give it. Even when successful, the code quality is so low I edit heavily before it’s pushed and attributed to me.

I think the problem I have is I rarely work on boilerplate stuff.

Sad as that is, I think you’re correct

Yes! I hope they don’t roll over (again). They need to fight on every front. Respond to flooding the zone with a torrent of their own.

This seems similar to my experience trying to suss out actual requirements from various incompetent/incoherent PMs. Gibberish in, software out.

Not only do the rich not pay enough taxes, they are the greatest beneficiaries of taxpayer funded programs like SNAP since it allows them to underpay their employees. So we basically subsidize their gains.

LibreOffice UI hasn’t changed in years and I love it, my muscle memory is retained.

Also while ribbon style UI might be visually pleasing and initially approachable, I find simple toolbars with icons in a line are actually easier to scan and navigate. Whereas a ribbon typically has dividers and buttons of varying sizes making them easy to miss.

The company now offers affected users two years of free three-bureau credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Equifax, which require enrollment by June 30, 2026.

Aka…sorry for this breach, as a consolation, please give your personal information to this other company that will also “misplace” it…

Black is white. Up is down. The US government is making a freedom portal.

But….if someone sold a manually operated plastic extruder, that’s fine?

And if someone separately sold CAM software that’s fine too?

Just sayin’

I could not get to it on wayback machine, but this works

Why are utilities privatized?

Our energy provider increased our rates, then reported record breaking profits the next year. :(

Now I can code in peace while simulated AI usage quietly empties a lake somewhere…
