If you're facing weird effects or poor performance when working with #Emacs (or #orgmode) and you're having a customized setup:
One thing that may solve some issues is removing your elpa/melpa packages and let it install from scratch.

Een patatje oorlog voor de goede zaak: boeren proberen aardappelberg van 500 miljoen kilo weg te werken | de Volkskrant

This dual adoption raises a critical question: do LLMs systematically favor content that resembles their own outputs? Prior research in computer science has identified self-preference bias -- the tendency of LLMs to favor their own generated content -- but its real-world implications have not be…

My NVME performance rabbit hole is confusing; one of my two identical drives is half the performance in hdparm -T; I swapped the drives in the slots and the performance follows the drive not the slot. PCIe looks fine with the same link speed/width. NVMe features (nvme get-feature /dev/nvme. -f 0 -H) are the same on both.
Oddly the *latency* is much lower on the slower drive?!! wtf?!
