  • My experience is that without swap my system will eventually lock up, without a clear sign of why. This was especially true when disabling memory overcommit, but I blame applications for that one.

    Who knows maybe my ram is failing.

  • I wouldn't trust current models to do any real work. Aaand I think humans will be cheaper than LLMs for a long time to come. Ultimately all costs are labor and if you need to give the power plant people (running the plant, mining the fuel, building the plant) sandwiches to get them to provide power for your llm, you're probably better off giving a human programmer sandwiches instead.

    The ai bubble pops when investors decide they want dividends instead of speculative gains.

  • Yeah it's a massive oversimplification, but all I had to go off of is the article title which struck me as absurd. I was thinking about how we're not running out of water for nuclear power plants because seawater can be used directly for cooling while the clean water in the plant never leaves.

    Inland plants of course will not have seawater available so they could certainly be at risk of shutting down for lack of coolant, but that is a problem for all thermal plants that use steam not just nuclear plants.

    May have fixed the dishwasher with a garage washer

    Noticed the lower arm of the dishwasher was in the same spot several washes in a row, so I got suspicious of the gap between that top nut and the arm. It looked like a lot of water could slip past. I found a small washer that fit almost perfectly in a junk box in the garage and now it seems to be working better.

    Bad faith representation should be a crime

    We can try a criminal case with the slimmest possible amount of information. Why is bad faith action not criminal in modern democracy. It amounts to fraud of the highest degree. To me the most blatant form is those elected representatives who changed political party after election, but includes any elected official acting contrary to the platform they were elected on.

    Democracy cannot survive this kind of fraud.

    What the heck is this trash shipping with firefox? about:compat

    Visit about:compat in your firefox. I find it insane that these exist.

    Edit: I've learned that this is part of the webcompat system addon developed by Mozilla and other contributors. I see why this is beneficial default behavior, since FF has no chance of getting enough market share to matter more if things are broken.

    However, this behavior is too intrusive for my taste. For example this injection: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/8a4afb4d34f8/browser/extensions/webcompat/injections/js/bug1472075-bankofamerica.com-ua-change.js is basically just to silence annoying user reports.

    Also, Every site FF pretends to be a different UA on is artificially reducing FF market share data.

    What is going on with /sys/kernel/notes ?

    Any thoughts on why cat /sys/kernel/notes gives me:

    I'm beginning to look into another issue I posted about, but this struck me as odd

    Help w/ crash

    Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash... And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I'm suspicious of.

    Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support... Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don't respond, SysRq doesn't work)

    XC90 speed vibration

    I've been procrastinating a fix for a vibration that is speed related on my xc90. It starts around 45mph and comes and goes up to 65 or 70... I broke some stuff 'diagnosing' it, and once I fix that I'm going to take the awd driveshaft out. I'm assuming a bearing is bad, any ideas? I want to repair the driveshaft because it's really expensive to replace.

    let's play make more space on /

    I have the unique pleasure of waiting as /usr is copied back to my Ubuntu SSD after offloading it to a sea of spinning rust to save some space. Surprise surprise Ubuntu keeps almost everything in /usr these days and it didnt boot :l but hey, at least BusyBox in initramfs has my back for times like these. Can i mount a specific ext4 directory with options? the issue seems to be my attempt at using a bind mount fails while running from the ramdisk, for whatever reason it wont mount my large data drive on /data
