I learned of that from On the Metal podcast. Was a big favourite. Definitely a great watch.

I did this 10 years ago. I now run windows server as my windows guest so I dont get all the client cruft. Works like a charm

Could this be used to infer the alignments done by the creators of the models by passing in a common set of questions to before and after and then comparing the results? Would be interesting to see what Elon has done to his XAI model in comparison to OpenAI.

There is a Rust based browser project ongoing that can use this (if its not already).

Considering that Microsoft was a completely different beast in that time, I'm not surprised it does not seem that silly.

M$ (appropriate name for that time) of the day was doing its best to own everything and the did not let up on trying to hold back the open source internet technologies until the early 2010's I believe. Its my opinion that they were successful in killing Java Applets, which were never able to improve past the first versions and JavaScript and CSS in general was held back many years.

I still recall my corporate overloards trying to push me to support IE's latest 'technologies' but I resisted and instead started supporting Mozilla 3.0 as soon as they fixed some core JS bugs for our custom built enterprise JavaScript SPA tools in the early 2000's. It turned out to be a great decision as the fortune 500 company started using Mozilla / Firefox in other internal apps in later years long before it became common place.

Brodie Robertson just posted a YouTube video summarizing this including Linus’s response. It’s definitely a doozy. I’d be interested to hear the BSD folks perspective on this.

While researching which SCS to use at Honeywell in early 2000’s, I read the RCS thesis and it was short concise and a fantastic read. I recommend any SCS N00b’s to read it first.

Thankfully at the time, I chose SVN over CVS and although SVN was only at v0.8 my small team never lost any data. I never regretted my decision.

Correct. I just checked the project yesterday and they are presently at 3.4 :-|

I don’t recall paste w/ formatting ever working well. IMHO, the OS’s should allow for some global config for default for Ctrl-v, Ctrl-shift-v.

I did a very rough BOM analysis of just the raw components and if you buy them at their highest rate (1pc cutoffs), the raw component cost excluding the PCB was about $100 USD. My guess is you would be looking at about $200.

Personally, I would be jumping in if I could buy a fully populated PCB and take care of 3D printing, final assembly and software. However, doing electronics like this is far out of my wheelhouse.
