I wonder if this could be used to track location of the vehicle

They acknowledged the bug. Screenshot and chargeback

Yeah I think there's a dependency issue going on there. Something isn't installed that needs to be.

If you are worried about a $300 solar panel you are not going to like the cost of a Mac Studio M3 Ultra 512 GB! haha

As one of the only people running a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 512 GB of RAM on the network, I can tell you at sustained 100% GPU utilization I am measuring 250 watts max (at the power outlet). My solar panels are easily producing this. The power calculation goes away once you connect a solar panel. You can get a 400 watt solar panel on Amazon for $300.

Same. I installed Forgejo two months ago when Github wouldn't let me create agent accounts. It's been awesome. Any time I want a new feature I open my agent on the server and tell it to add the feature to Forgejo. Took all of 15 minutes for it to add a working Show/Hide "Viewed" files on the PR reviews.

I am going to say this for all the people thinking like this. This attitude will get you nowhere in life. It historically never has and in the future it never will.

I was just thinking about this project the other day. Seems we have a whole lot of unused compute (and now GPU). I wish someone would create a meaningful project like this to distribute AI training or something. Imagine underfunded AI researchers being able to distribute work to idle machines like SETI@home did.

GitLab has some code in their repo if you want to see how to do it.

All SVGs should be properly sanitized going into a backend and out of it and when rendered on a page.

Do you allow SVGs to be uploaded anywhere on your site? This is a PSA that you're probably at risk unless you can find the few hundred lines of code doing the sanitization.

Note to Ruby on Rails developers, your active storage uploaded SVGs are not sanitized by default.

This is huge. A lot of these are the underpinnings of modern computer science optimizations. The ACM programming competitions in college are some of my fondest memories!

I think that's a great idea! I just checked one of my larger projects and it 55% ConcurrentHashMap and 45% HashMap so I'd personally benefit from this plan.

In a concurrent environment, I wonder if the overhead of wrapping every API call with a synchronized would make this significantly slower than using ConcurrentHashMap.

RL is still widely used in the advertising industry. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. When you have millions to billions of visits and you are trying to optimize an outcome RL is very good at that. Add in context with contextual multi-armed bandits and you have something very good at driving people towards purchasing.
