Did you need to compile a kernel to enable it? I’ve just done the project of installing Debian on a 20 year old iMac with 2.5 GB of RAM, and while zram definitely seems to help, I’d love to try this as well.

Maybe they should have written anarcho-capitalist accelerationists…?

Probably to run Minecraft, I’m guessing.

I think what he means is that the unique identifier for a database record is a composite of two fields: SSN + birth date. That doesn’t mean that SSN to birth date is a one-to-many relation.

This is making me realize that I don’t fully understand the relationship between “instruction-tuned” and “pre-trained”. I thought instruction tuning was a form of fine-tuning, and that fine-tuning comes after the primary training of the model.

Super cool idea — but they have a repeated crashing bug to fix on mobile Safari.

I’ve never noticed until now that Ernie Hudson looks like he was trying not to crack up in the background.

I would have agreed a few months ago, but tell that to Joe Biden.

I so badly want a source for this.

Just wanted to share some love for this filesystem.

I’ve been running a btrfs raid1 continuously for over ten years, on a motley assortment of near-garbage hard drives of all different shapes and sizes. None of the original drives are still in it, and that server is now on its fourth motherboard. The data has survived it all!

It’s grown to 6 drives now, and most recently survived the runtime failure of a SATA controller card that four of them were attached to. After replacing it, I was stunned to discover that the volume was uncorrupted and didn’t even require repair.

So knock on wood — I’m not trying to tempt fate here. I just want to say thank you to all the devs for their hard work, and add some positive feedback to the heap since btrfs gets way more than it’s fair share of flak, which I personally find to be undeserved. Cheers!
