Even old x86 Apple laptops run Linux poorly, at least without a lot of tinkering.
I have a MBP 14,3 with miserable WiFi and no sound on Ubuntu 24.04.

Amid this news madness, I've thoroughly enjoyed being subscribed to the daily #CarbonBrief. Instead of compulsing the news, I try [and often fail] to focus on the most insightful items in my news feeds. This analysis of the latest UK auction for #WindPower was excellent:

It's kind of hilarious that Xe wrote this in 2023, I read it then and thought it was too far fetched because no IT dept would ever trust an AI to *talk to customers* for them, let alone have access to the database and other things to try to fix problems on its own, and n…

I hate how rapidly Intel EOL's CPUs.
Like, my office workstation has a pair of Skylake-SP's (Xeon Scalable Gold 6144) which were launched in Q3 17 and hit end of support in December 2023. That's only six years.
And Vtune 2024.x is the last version that supports it. I have to pin an old version of VTune to be able to do profiling now.
I know it's getting on in years now, but it's still a pretty decent processor (CPUMark per-core performance competitive wi…

To people who didn’t vote for Trump, his sweaty panic over the Epstein files is perplexing.
The president’s enthusiasm for sexual violence is no secret.
It’s been nine years since the release of the “Access Hollywood” video, in which he bragged about how he liked to “grab them by” the genitals.
In 2023 and 2024, two civil juries found that journalist E. Jean Carroll told the truth when she said Trump sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.

A short history of #SQLGlot:
2023-07: SQLGlot is added to #Gentoo.
2023-12: Rust extension is added.
2026-03: Rust extension is replaced by mypyc compilation.
2026-03: SQLGlot now requires its own mypy fork… 🤦
Seriously, what are these people thinking?!
EDIT: and of course it's LLM #slop now.
