I recently started using compose2nix, and I’m enjoying it.

Reminds me of War Gods. I played that a lot on PS1 as a kid.

I use proxmox as my hypervisor with:

1. TrueNAS VM
2. Home Assistant OS VM
3. Debian VM for MDAD and MASH, but I’m slowly moving things to Nix when I can.
4. NixOS VM for everything else using compose2nix for services designed for docker and regular systemd services where it makes sense.

different service ;)

They’re funded by a parent organization with a crypto coin, and they explicitly state hosting AI models as one of their main goals. No thanks.

There are, however, also those who simply defer to the powerful — that assume that “this much money can’t be wrong,” even if said money has been wrong repeatedly to the point that there’s an entire website about it. They are the people that look at the current crop of powerful tech companies that have failed to deliver any truly meaningful innovation in years and coo like newborn babes. Look at the coverage of Sam Altman from the last year — you know, the guy who has spent years lying about what artificial intelligence can do — and tell me why every single thought he has must be uncritically cataloged, his every decision applauded, his every claim trumpeted as certain, his brittle company’s obvious problems apologized for and readers reassured of his obvious victory.

Nowhere is this more obvious right now than in The Guardian’s nonsensical decision to abandon Twitter, decrying how “X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse” mere weeks after printing, bereft of context, Elon Musk’s ridiculous lies about his plans for cybertaxis. There is little moral quality to leaving X if your outlet continues to act as a stenographer for its leader, and this in fact suggests a lack of any real interest in change or progress, just the paper tiger of norms and values that will only end up depriving people of good journalism.

as a warning shot and for publicity. it’s a good tactic.

My body, my life, my choice. Get over it, mom.

glances over at HP laptop I requested a replacement for 6 months ago because it overheats if I have a video call on and a spreadsheet open

I mean, we’ll have to wait for real analyses to be done, but I would suggest that a lot of that “shift” has to do with the fact that the Democrat message to struggling working class people was along the lines of “that sucks that you’re struggling, but the economy is really fine”. The Republican party didn’t dismiss them, even if their “solutions” and “causes” were bullshit.

I do own one and I love it, but I have similar complaints about the heart rate monitor. I just don’t use it enough to have it matter. sleep tracking works pretty okay, though.

The bigger oil and gas companies want just enough regulation to make it easier for them to force out smaller companies for whom hitting these targets is more difficult, but no more than that. These big companies often are so vertically integrated that they can design systems across sectors of the industry that do actually emit less than older equipment segmented by lots of smaller companies. It’s a sad fact that increasing climate protections tends to consolidate oil and gas corporate power into fewer and bigger companies because it’s going to make the last mile of the transition from fossil fuels that much harder.

This is one of many direct climate consequences of the the failure of the Democratic party to run a compelling candidate and platform. I can only hope that states like Colorado and California can keep doing what they’re doing, and that the rest of the world can do enough to mitigate at least some of the added damage our country will do over the next 4 years.

the Bangle.js 2 has all of those features and works with gadgetbridge like the pinetime

Also, just a sidenote, while AlphaFold2 training data is available for download (unsure if AlphaFold3 will follow suit), the OSI recently released its definition for open source AI models, and there is no requirement that the training data needs to also be open for a model to be considered “open source”, which is extremely disappointing and will degrade the meaning of open source.

I was very much looking forward to this, and it works great. My instance is back up and running again.

I don’t know if DevOps can render them. It certainly can’t on my system. I would recommend not using the remote repository WebUI for that feature.

Jupyter notebooks can totally handled by git! If you use GitHub, it will even render them on the WebUI for you.

I’m almost a year in to a job where I was given this task with no admin access on my local windows machine, with a team that had never used an IDE or git before, and with only Google Drive as my allowed cloud tool. When I got here everything was just a bunch of Jupyter notebooks that would get run in Google Collab that were stored haphazardly over a shared Google Drive.

It’s been a slog, but Python for Windows, VSCode, Git for Windows, and Poetry can all be installed without admin access, and we got limited access to Azure DevOps. I’ve taught my team how to use powershell, git, VSCode, and Poetry, and taught them about testing and documentation (this is a slowwww process). We finally got a desktop computer with admin access this week that we can RDP into (that I requested basically right when I started), so we can run scheduled tasks on Windows and hack together some kind of a CI/CD system. We started a wiki on Azure, have most of our stuff documented and in a well organized monorepo, and track our work in boards now.

Now that other teams are starting to see how we’re doing things, they want in, too. Thank god these people are wonderful and excited to learn because otherwise this would be very frustrating.

This is extra insane when the exit polls show this is clearly white people fucking everyone over
