ZFS is completely broken on Ubuntu Noble 6.8.0 LTS.

The Noble 6.8.0 LTS kernel is a mess. Im not sure what we are going to do in our org. We have been discussing it for a few months. I want an in house fork based on an GKH LTS but others are hesitant to take on that level of responsibility.

there will be millions/billions of people utilizing llms against me supplied by adversary nation states. why do I have to get the shit version if I want to follow the rules? same reason I support the second amendment. why do I have to be the unarmed one? I wont even be able to protect myself from unaligned AIs if I only have one thats been corporately aligned.

yes, just like anything else I have access to can help me do felonies

the alignment issue has become huge in recent months. the tool should do what I want it to do and not be aligned against me.

I sport fished Kodiak for halibut and salmon in 2009. what a crazy place to fish. the abundance of fish was incredible

hopefully if each state starts crafting dumb laws like this they all get banned via commerce clause due to infeasibility of compliance

a GB300 rack is like 5-6 million so seems a bit low.

yeah. gonna be a huge mess so I havent

I hate those sharp edges. I've contemplated taking a router with a carbide roundover to mine many times.

We don't spend that much money every day but here's the gist: We have a distributed system that has several components that don't meet the performance requirements of the next uplift we need to do. We need to carefully consider the tradeoffs of things like how to shard a few of the databases, how to rearchitect the ETL flow that comes off the system and is used for analysis. We think of a few approaches and then we get the coding assistants to blast through the end to end development of each approach discovering all the known unknowns and unknown unknowns along the way. Then we can load test each method, profile them, analyze them manually and with the LLM. Then we can pick the solution and take another shot at implementing it with the coding agent, but more carefully and with more oversight with all the things we learned.

We don't hit those high numbers every day. An average day is $50-100 max.

As far as home projects. Something like write a GUI desktop or phone application from scratch. The LLM has to reference a lot of code and API docs to figure out what to do and spends a lot of time thinking while debugging. It gets expensive :/

I have at least walked 20 miles before in my life. I've never written anything with as much breadth in 20 years of coding until I started using these tools. I also have quite a deep backlog from trying.

That’s what Im considering.

When I sit down and dial in on a serious project at work I easily spend $500-1000+ day of API usage. At home I just hit the limit and give up / cancel my sub.

Wish I could just go all out one weekend a month. I hardly code outside of work but sometimes there’s a project I have an itch for.

may open up other opportunities due to people being more mobile. more commerce activity in general. I heavily dislike having to find parking or hiring a non waymo ride.

this prompt is actually in claude cli. it says something like implement simplest solution. dont over abstract. On my phone but I saw an article mention this in the leak analysis.

all these flags are findable by pointing claude at the binary and asking it to find festure flags.

I feel like Java does it the best. Golang didn't start with generics so it's a bit odd IMO.

the batteries included approach is the stdlib that can do everything. turns out it’s hard to maintain and make good.

VR NVL72 is twice as expensive as GB300 as well

reinforcement learning is all code that was created by coding gig workers through scale ai and similar. I cannot believe it would be very good.

creating plans in claude and asking chatgpt via api to review loop was my strategy this week. I'm not a big fan of codex as a coding harness because it seems to just give up quite easily where claude will search the problem space and try things but I think gpt does a much better job of poking holes and asking clarifying questions when prompted.

did you see this, they can build a simulator from sv images. https://waymo.com/blog/2026/02/the-waymo-world-model-a-new-f... even the lidar part

yeah i experienced this the other day when asking claude code to build an http proxy using an afsk modem software to communicate over the computers sound card. it had an absolute fit tuning the system and would loop for hours trying and doubling back. eventually after some change in prompt direction to think more deeply and test more comprehensively it figured it out. i certainly had no idea how to build a afsk modem.

maybe the barely split microsoft type. the advantage 360 with freely positioned halves is a game changer in comfort. I can move it around at will but generally keep it wider than shoulder width apart.

GB300 NVL72 is 50% more expensive than GB200 I've heard.

If the test is taken on personal laptops it's almost impossible to stop cheating. You can easily take video capture and send it out via 5g modem on a completely separate computer hidden inside of the laptop. Then you can receive answers back in very discreet ways like nearly imperceptible LEDs.

Same reason DRM-data rights management or DLP-data loss protection technologies are rather pointless against determined attackers. Anything that is permitted to be viewed can be copied.

1-3 is too short but they aren’t making new A100s, theres 8 in a server and when one goes bad what do you do? you wont be able to renew a support contract. if you wanna diy you eventually you have to start consolidating pick and pulls. maybe the vendors will buy them back from people who want to upgrade and resell them. this is the issue we are seeing with A100s and we are trying to see what our vendor will offer for support.

they have very strict AML controls as well. For example if you regularly withdraw a few thousand in cash to pay contractors for a house project they may close your account.

Luxury vehicles I've never understood, especially the non Lexus variety. so don't expect me to explain that.

Due to all the people in my fmaily I have 4 cars so I wouldn't go from 1 EV to 2. If the current EV gets destroyed I do think that used EVs are the right way to go and would buy a used one for sure.

They do still feel like throwaway cars. I'm not sure how you can argue they will have a longer lifetime. If the battery dies surely no one is replacing that at cost? It's more than the car is worth. At least with an ICE each part can be replaced in your driveway with a few hundred in tools and the part probably exists locally used or new.
