I've had pretty good luck running llamafile on my laptop. The speeds aren't super fast, and I can only use the models that are Mistral 7B and smaller, but the results are good enough for casual use and general R and Python code.

Edit: my laptop doesn't have a dedicated GPU, and I don't think llamafile has support for Intel GPUs yet. CPU inference is still pretty quick.

Setting up a new Debian Docker Swarm

After seeing someone else posting their struggles with getting Docker running on their system, I thought I might share my process for setting up new Docker nodes. I don’t make any representations about my way being the right way, or the best way, but this way has been working for me. I have been playing around with a swarm,...

Docker swarm is dead, docker swarm mode is still very alive

The paid proton accounts let you use several custom domains, although I'm not sure if you can combine custom domains with email aliases. For random sites the email alias with the stand @proton.me would probably suit your needs.

After about 3 years of use I've been very happy with proton's spam filtering.

That's already been hacked by the NSA

A lot of people are focused on this quote:

Witness Reverend Jeff Hood told reporters he saw a man ‘struggling for their life’ for 22 minutes as Smith became the first US death row inmate executed by nitrogen asphyxia

Which says to me that from the time they brought him in and strapped him down until he died lasted about 22 minutes and the murderer struggled physically against the restraints the entire time.

This quote farther down suggests from the time they started administering the gas until he died only took a couple of minutes:

But, witnesses said Smith appeared conscious for several minutes, shaking and writhing on the gurney.

Several could be 25, and he could have been shaking from pain and agony, but it seems more likely he was holding his breath and shaking out of fear while trying to fight and get free.

Keep in mind that the first quote is from his anti-death penalty spiritual advisor and this entire article is brought to us by a magazine with an "end the death penalty campaign".

I'm generally anti-death penalty myself, but nitrogen asphyxiation seems way better than electrocution, lethal injection, or hanging. They could probably do it better by using some kind of general anesthesia to render him unconscious and then flood the room with pure nitrogen, or even just get rid if the death penalty all together. Unfortunately this is the world we live in and so fae this is the least bad option we've seen.

Basically it means that you lose the ability to control reactor temperature. Sodium cooled reactors general have a positive thermal coefficient for reactivity, meaning when temperature increases the reactor power goes up.

When you lose cooling your temperature rises, which results in increased reactor power which results in increased temperature which results in power which ... in a self reinforcing loop until a melt down occurs and everyone gets Chernobyled.

Even if the reactor isn't susceptible to this cycle, liquid sodium is a solid at relatively low temperatures. So in some situations the liquid sodium will stop circulating and then start to cool and solidify. This effectively blocks the cooling pipes and it is very difficult to get the sodium heated up enough to liquefy and restore cooling circulation. This can again lead to getting Chernobyled.

This reads like a poor attempt a guerrilla marketing.

Boomers won’t part with their homes, and that’s a problem for young families (www.cnn.com)

Buying a family-sized home with three or more bedrooms used to be manageable for young people with children. But with home prices climbing faster than wages, mortgage rates still close to 23-year highs and a shortage of homes nationwide, many Millennials with kids can’t afford it. And Gen Z adults with kids? Even harder....

Not only are corporations buying up houses to rent, they're actively preventing new houses for purchase from being built through "build to rent" schemes. They use the already scarce construction resources and divert them to building housing with the sole intention of renting them out.

So they're keeping the supply houses available to own down, and then preventing new supply from being created. It's a giant fuck you from corporations and shitty local government for letting it happen.

From the article:

Among children and young people aged 0 – 19 years in the US, COVID-19 ranked eighth among all causes of death; fifth among all disease-related causes of death; and first in deaths caused by infectious or respiratory diseases.

Unless I'm reading that wrong covid was never the leading cause of death for people under 18.

That's really only true if the good that's being purchased is necessary to live.

Interesting, I don't remember that at all. Did you just make it up?
