Huh. This is more readable than almost any large python codebase to me at first glance. It’s 2D, and well commented. I find it an excellent use of screen real estate. Perhaps it would be a different story if most of us weren’t stuck in 16:9?

You’re pretty close actually. It’s a single strand of positive-sense RNA 7.5kb long, and a protein capsule. +ssRNA is treated as mRNA by the host and is directly translated into proteins.


Substantially. It is way more coarse, usually much more moist as well. Tends to be more “pure” tobacco with less additives, though I’m sure that’s not universal. I know somebody who does not smoke but buys it to keep in cabinets and various drawers because they love the smell. I must admit I am partial to the smell as well.


This is an excellent idea, ty.


It does seem to. I’ve been working on some personal projects where I’ve needed to look up and research transformers quite a bit (the kind that often has a ferrite core) and it has been frustrating. Frustrating not just trying to search for the wire datasheets, etc., but also because I often have to use the other transformer via service to find what I’m looking for because search is so enshittified by the newer definition.


What are you trying to do?


Not the above poster. I would like to run agents with local multimodal LLMs to process huge numbers of sensitive files for an org( summarization, knowledge extraction, answer user questions ,etc). Any ideas?


Worth getting to know the in and outs of forest management now. I don’t think AI will take most tech jobs soon, but they sure as hell are already making them boring.


I’m very guilty of trying all sorts of productivity software as a form of procrastination. The best one did, in fact, turn out to be index cards and a pencil.


Reddit runs well IMO if you go to old.reddit.com. The mobile site is borderline useless, presumably intentionally.


According to Reddit's "Staff Platform Engineer (Web Platform Team)":

Old Reddit has the advantage of being pretty much static non-interactive content. No video, tiny thumbnails, and barely any JS or styling. Some people like this and some don't, but the end result is a very lean website that performs well out of the box.

Suffice to say, I'm on the frontend perf team and we're acutely aware of these problems

This was in October 2024.

Which is of course a bunch of bullshit when you consider that Reddit's backend returns most data in under 400ms, and it takes Reddit frontend 3+ seconds to render it

It could be that they are just incompetent.


Based on how universally horrible their video playback performance is (even in the iOS app), I can only assume incompetence.


Jeff Geerling is one of my favorite public figures (I’m not sure how far or if I’m stretching the definition of public). I keep meaning to subscribe to his patreon, I mean that’s the least I could do - I think he’s the only creator I consume the content of on 4+ platforms. And occasionally he shows up here too. I just love the sheer “making things” energy, and all the open work he does.

If there was, say, a Patreon equivalent that was just a static site that displayed an address to send weird or excess hardware, cash, etc to, that would be so ideal!


Same, I read everything he writes. I remember reading a bunch of his stuff when I was getting into ansible, and then all his Pi stuff especially when CM4 came out. It's a strange sort of parasocial relationship but for nerds!


Strongly agree for the same reasons. I don’t subscribe to his stuff for any particular niche, I just enjoy the “this is a thing I am going to learn lots about and make a video”.


And then claims it’s a barbecue turkey, and eats it in front of her in an attempt to save face.
