I once again feel that a comparison to humans is fitting. We are also "trained" on a huge amount of input over a large amount of time. We will also try to guess the most natural continuation of our current prompt (setting). When asked about things it I can at times hallucinate things I was certain to be true.

It seems very natural to me that large advances in reasoning and logic in AI should come at the expense of output predictability and absolute precision.

How is this a debian maintainer going rogue? Maintainers making changes to default package build flags is quite normal and should be expected. These changes were even requested in the public bug tracker.

This actually sounds like a solid move. There is obviously a huge market for a porn, nudity and kink related community. As proven by the decline of tumblr. I guess most US companies are too prudish to capitalize on the opportunity.

I guess the hard part is compartmentalizing the content spheres and public image perception.

I strongly dislike swap on servers. I can understand some use cases laptops and one-off situations.

I would much rather have an application get killed by OOM killer than swapping. Swapping absolutely kills performance. Not having enough RAM is a faulty state and swapping hides that from admins resulting in hard to debug issues. The OOM killer leaves handy logs, swapping just degrades your service and needs to be correlated with RAM usage metrics.

My experience is also that swap will be used no matter how low (or was it high?) you set the swappiness number if the memory throughput is high enough, even if there is enough RAM available.

Cool project. Very happy about you taking the time to package it. I never use cli tools I cant install with apt because i log into a lot of servers. Hope i still remember this tool once i leaves sid and gets to stable.

EU regulations forbid most subsidizing of goods withing country borders in general. There are some exceptions, like for example agriculture.

There were a lot of reports made before the cables were created indicating that prices would not change much. I believe these were created in good faith by incompetent people.

People in Norway are currently paying full price, but the government is refunding 90% of the cost above ~0.7 USD / KWh.

Very strange. I would probably pay my Spotify subscription just for the recommendation service. Did you use Discover Weekly actively? Did you share your account with children, at parties, etc.? I'm always puzzled by how Spotify recommendations seem to be so hit and miss for people. I wonder if it could be related to the type of music one listens to.

This website is niche enough that I think they are better of optimizing for what in-the-know users want than dumbing it down for people passing by. I recognize that is not really what you are asking for though, and I agree that they could do better with tool-tips and the likes.

Gorhill has to me always been a beacon of integrity. I always feel a bit uneasy about browser add-ons and the people in control of them and I am really thankful for not having a single worry about installing ublock origin on any browser I spend some time in.

This article frames power grid integration across the European continent as a solution to unpredictable power production from wind power for each country. This makes less sense when you factor in that the wind is highly correlated in nearby countries. The ones that are the easiest to import power from. Long distance power export is also lossy. Regulating power is hard to find now and will be even harder in the future as more production goes towards wind and solar.
