Interesting that your impl agents are not opus. I guess having the more rigorous spec pipeline helps scope it to something sonnet can knock out.

apple keeps talking about the Neural Engine. Does anything actually use it? Seems like all the current LLM and Stable Diffusion packages (including MLX) use the GPU.

Re:An open-source flow battery kit on Tuesday August 13, 2024 @02:05PM (#41237825)
I dont know anything about flow batteries, but some quick searching leads me to believe that there are two tanks of electrolytes with pumps that pump them along a membrane and then you get power across the membrane. In this small battery kit, is the idea that the battery provides enough power to both operate all its own pumps/electronics, and then output usable power? Does anyone know how much power you'd be able to get out of a small setup like this?

Looks like a cool project!

The military version of the P320 (M18) has a manual safety. Not clear from the article whether or not it was engaged. That said, I’ve always thought it is bonkers that the P320 doesn’t have a trigger safety.

Third party sellers make up most of the inventory. Means Amazon has less inventory risk, but the buyer experience is terrible. Really unfortunate.

Zero growth or negative growth (real or nominal) are both cases that not keep pace with expectations.

What about that paragraph makes you think things are gangbusters but they have to lay people off?

I pay out of pocket for a JetBrains license because it makes me a LOT more productive. I don't spend money on a lot of dev tools, but if it saves me non-trivial time, it's a no-brainer.
has anyone been able to withdraw taler tokens from the demo bank? Getting an error `could not find any exchange`. Don't think it's my setup.

Re:Signing Git commits with your SSH key (2021) on Tuesday September 13, 2022 @09:42PM (#32832334)
if you sign your commits, you should also consider timestamping your commits. I use OpenTimestamps for this. Docs and some rationale here: https://github.com/opentimestamps/opentimestamps-client/blob...

from the doc:

> My signing keys (e.g. blog or Qubes code signing keys) do not have expiration dates. This is not laziness. There is a fundamental problem with using an expiration date on keys used for code signing (e.g. git tag -s), because it is unclear what the outcome should be when one verifies some old code (written and signed when the key was still valid) in the future when the key has already expired?

> Naturally we would like the old code, written and signed when the key was still valid, to continue to verify fine also in the future, after the key expires (and the developer passed away, perhaps). However, it is very problematic to prevent the attacker from creating falsified code pretending to be an old one.
