Seeing The Mandalorian and Grogu tonight at 10pm! That should be wild.

This is Kevin Durant, and here’s a NPR story about this:
And I can affirm, having had NPR come on way too high after leaving the volume up, they’ve got some solid bass in some of their shows 😂

I recently asked @… to PLEASE close some tabs every now and then before her computer explodes.
Well now when she needs an URL that she had open before, she'll just ask me. She'll also inform me that she had that tab open at some time, but was asked to close it. Just sayin'.

Fizz has expanded its lawsuit against rival Sidechat, alleging that a Maveron VC shared its confidential information obtained during a fundraising meeting with the competing startup.

First, let’s talk about “grokking”.
In 2022, OpenAI published a paper showing that if you train a model on a simple dataset
(for instance, a simple mathematical operation like division),
and keep training it long after the training looks like it’s stalled out,
the model will suddenly make a massive jump in capability.
Why does this work?
The first stage of training is like rote memorization:
the model has to compress as much of the training data as…

Overtraining as the path to human-like AI

„Trotz oder gerade wegen des Krieges sei die Ukraine zu einem Star in der E-Mobilität aufgestiegen. Im Jahr 2022, als Russland die Ukraine angriff, waren noch 48.400 Elektroautos in dem Land zugelassen. Ihr Anteil ist 2025 auf mehr als 252.000 gestiegen.

Elektroauto in der Ukraine: Autark durch den Krieg
Ausgerechnet in der Ukraine boomen Elektroautos – trotz der Angriffe auf die Energieversorgung. Reichweitenängste stören offenbar wenig, es zählen andere Qualitäten.

Spännande artikel om högerns historieskrivning av ekonomisk utveckling i Sverige - jag är, gällande ekonomisk teori, endast en taskspelare. Men jag tycker att många argument pekar mot en osund och selektiv historieskrivning. #svpol #ekonomi

Hätte ja nicht gedacht, dass es so schwer sein kann bei Mediawiki 1.43.5 mit Vector 2022 für die Suchvorschläge eine Einstellung oder eine kleine Anpassung zu finden, die Namensräume ignoriert oder ggf. nebst 0 weitere festlegen lässt.
Sprich, ich würde gerne ach Vorschläge für NAMESPACE:PAGE kriegen, wenn ich PAGE suche.
Hach, ich geb's erstmal auf.

Faster zlib/DEFLATE decompression on the Apple M1 (and x86)
DEFLATE is a relatively slow compression algorithm from 1991, which (along with its wrapper format, zlib) is incredibly widely used, for example in the PNG, Zip and Gzip file formats and the HTTP, …

Major strides for vehicle-to-grid: the key amendment to the ISO 15118-20 standard, which standardises AC bidirectional charging with a clear separation of functions between the charging point and the vehicle’s inverter, is now an officially published standard. This means there are significant additions to the version published in 2022, which – as things currently stand – must be technically supported (though not necessarily to the full extent of its functionality) by all new private and p…

It's a day later and #footiMac and #newOldiMac are still up and running. Disk usage is stable. Current RAM usage for the database has gone up to 3GB from 1GB since 9PM last night. I'd like to know why. It's not any busier.
I'm running the backup script then later today I'll see if I can investigate more on why the RAM usage fluctuates so much.
I would like to know why it is more stable. Is it because I've simply given it enough room to expand and contract in the colima VM?
Is it because I set the clocks to the same timezone?
Inquiring minds... but I am happy that it is happy. And I have learned a lot and gotten more comfortable with docker. Which has been a goal almost since I joined Mastodon in Nov 2022.
I’m hoping to look for a new macMini now to replace #newOldiMac. If I can get that an SSD to replace the failing SSD in #footiMac and a large HDD for backup that'd be great.
