Given that the infrastructure description included the DataTalks.Club website, this resulted in a full wipe of the setup for both sites, including a database with 2.5 years of records, and database snapshots that Grigorev had counted on as backups. The operator had to contact Amazon Business support, which helped restore the data within about a day.

Non-story. He let Terraform zap his production site without offsite backups. But then support restored it all back.

I’d be more alarmed that a ‘destroy’ command is reversible.

The math adds up. If you take out all the whiners, you get left with a large cohort of sunny optimists.

There’s a difference between ‘repairable’ and ‘upgradable.’ Most of the comments seem to conflate the two. Lenovo isn’t doing a Framework.

It’s a smart move. Differentiates them from other laptop-makers for corporate IT, who can do the parts swaps themselves. Also smart is associating the brand with iFixit and working to get a 10/10. That’ll be what sets them apart from all the others, at least for the next year or two.

Ah, pregnancy… when internal organs migrate to the arms.

Obligatory Firefly mention.

Was self-hosting gitlab or foregejo not an option?

At some point, some DIY person will come up with a way to disable these things in their presence.

And they will make bank.

MCPs could learn a thing or two from the failures of ActiveX.

Will they?

No…

Web4? Seriously?

When we lived in a big city, we would hit the occasional Costco sale, then go out and hand out blankets, tents, tarps, water, socks, and warm clothing. Also, toys and school supplies.

In a smaller city, donations to the local food and housing groups, school fundraisers to help cover costs for books and supplies for those who can’t afford it, and refilling the neighborhood open-access fridge.

Basic responsibility to pay it forward.

There’s a reason that sign is there.

You said “two of the three reviewers found substantive deficiencies in rationale, design, validation of results, interpretation, and presentation.”

So… what is left?

Where are the drinks?

These are all the Least Worst solutions. I humbly disagree.

When LLMs first came out, I asked them a few fun logic puzzles. The kind that Martin Gardner used to publish in Scientific American.

Got total gibberish answers. A while later, tried again. This time, perfect word-for-word responses. Had LLMs become sentient and developed logic? Turned out they had found all the old Scientific American back issues to train on.

Guessing the same is going on with the carwash question. The more posts come out about it, the more likely the LLM responses will get closer to published answers.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Question is, how long before it makes it to the next DGX Spark? Some people don’t have $10B to burn.

370 BC?

The beards need to be way more fierce.

Small privacy leak. Carry on.
