I like to think of it like this. It takes approximately five months of power, relatively speaking to power, the human brain vs. multiple megawatts hell even multiple gigawatts of power to power even some of the most modest and yet surprisingly complex AI models.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This random comment from another Slashdot article pretry much sums up my view on so-called ā€œAIā€:

Elevator music
Tony Isaac 20 minutes ago
If you derive your income from producing ā€œelevator musicā€ you might indeed be in danger of losing that income to AI. Also, bumper musicā€“music used to fill otherwise silent gaps between segments of a podcast or radio showā€“might be a candidate for AI takeover.
But if you produce real musicā€“music with depth and emotionā€“your job isnā€™t going anywhere.
How can I be so sure? Iā€™ve seen the kind of code AI writes. Iā€™ve seen the kind of prose AI writes. Both are amazing, for something computer-generated. But neither would be mistaken for the work of someone skilled or proficient in the art. Music wonā€™t be any different.

In-reply-to » Fuck me dead, what a giant piece of shit. On my Linux work laptop I have the problem that some unknown snakeoil "security" junk is dropping any IPv4 connections to ports 80 and 443. All other ports and IPv6 seem unaffected. I get an immediate "connection refused" when trying to estabslish a connection.

Thank you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! Luckily, I can disable it. I also tried it, no luck, though. But the problem is, I donā€™t really know how much snakeoil actually runs on my machine. There is definitely a ClownStrike infestation, I stopped the falcon sensor. But there might be even more, Iā€™ve no idea. From the vague answers I got last time, it feels like even the UHD/IT guys donā€™t know what is in use. O_o

Yeah, it is definitely something on my laptop that rejects connections to IPv4 ports 80 and 443. All other devices here can access the stuff without issue, only this work machine is unable to. The ā€œConnection refusedā€ happens within a few milliseconds.

Unfortunately, I do not have the slightest idea how it works. But maybe I can look into that tomorrow. Kernel modules are a very good hint, thank you! <3

Youā€™re right, it might be some sort of fail-safe mechanism. But then, why just block IPv4 and not also IPv6? But maybe because the VPN and company servers require IPv4, there is zero IPv6 support. (Yeah, donā€™t ask, I donā€™t understand it either.)

I had this problem four weeks ago on Friday morning the very first time at home. On Thursday evening, everything was perfectly fine. Eventually, I plugged in the LAN cable in the office and everything got automatically fixed. Nobody can explain whatā€™s happening.

Then, last week Friday morning out of the blue, the same issue was back. So, I went to the office yesterday and it got fixed again by plugging in the network cable. This evening, I have exactly the same bloody problem again.

What the hell is going on? Does anyone have any ideas? Iā€™m certainly not an expert, but I donā€™t see anything suspicious in iptables or nft rules. I also do not see anything showing up in /var/log/kern.log. Even tried to stop firewalld, flush the iptables and nft rules, but that didnā€™t result in any changes.

@prologic@twtxt.net the South Korean president is facing impeachment. The president declared martial law to protect the country from North Korea and eliminate anti-state elements. However, the declaration was seen as a response to domestic pressure and scandals. MPs blocked the declaration and forced the president to reverse his decision. The presidentā€™s defense minister resigned and the president is now facing impeachment proceedings.

Problem 2: Your SSD-backed database has a usage-pattern that rewards you with a 80% page-cache hit-rate (i.e. 80% of disk reads are served directly out of memory instead of going to the SSD). The median is 50 distinct disk pages for a query to gather its query results (e.g. InnoDB pages in MySQL). What is the expected average query time from your database?

Share your solution via Twtxt and how you arrived at it and Iā€™ll share my solution tomorrow!

Also interesting:

edit_hash: When a message is edited, a new message is createdā€“ this field holds the hash of the modified message. The client follows the chain of edit hashes to end up at the final, edited message to display. This lets us keep an ā€œundoā€ history (not yet implemented) and is a marker so the client can display a marker that the message has been edited.

But donā€™t take my word for it, I just got there and still yet to meet people and learn a bit of IT wizardry from them ;)
