How much does your organization's structure interfere with your architecture, on a scale from 1 to Monorepo?







pro tip: prevent heart attacks by not rebooting a server the moment a test run of emergency alerts starts in your region.

I just realized that I haven't ever heard of or seen an ancient bug book. I mean, surely some nerd 150 BCE must have drawn all the various bugs, found commonalities, then tried to classify them. Maybe such documents were just too hard to copy compared to prayer texts and just didn't survive. Also, no magnifying lenses.

@Extelec One method is to punch a hole in something (could be a leaf, even), and place the water drop in the hole. Another is to form a small loop with, say a pine needle, and place the water droplet in the loop.

But they did have access to transparent material - natural transparent crystals in particular.



I wrote up some notes on Gemma 3, Google's new openly licensed (not open source) vision LLM, released this morning. simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/12/…
in reply to Simon Willison

by structured data extraction are you referring to constrained decoding like using grammars? Or just asking it to respond in a specified json schema via the prompt?

@redscroll Ollama has grammar support baked in that works against any model, I'm using that


Found out yesterday that my kid is texting on the reg with some random "kid" (supposedly) that she doesn't know in real life.

If this person is who he says he is, it's mostly harmless. He doesn't even live in the area. So I don't want to come down too hard and risk that it drives her into further underground/hidden comms.

But if he's NOT, I'm worried about sextortion or some other scam. If other parents have advice, I'm listening.

The EU and Canada are specifically targeting US products which will primarily hurt pro-Trump areas, and are products where there are ample options to replace those now more expensive items. They’re using a scalpel while Trump uses a child’s plastic hammer. minnesotareformer.com/2025/03/…

This summarizes my morning at work diagnosing issues after our server received an upgrade by the hosting provider over night.
in reply to SuperDicq

Gentoo, Mint and Ubuntu (the latter two unfortunately ship a proprietary version of Linux like Debian, but at least ask before installing further nonfree software).
in reply to GNU/翠星石

What do you mean Ubuntu and Mint are better than Debian when it comes to this?

They don't even have a clear separation in their repository and they install the Snap package manager by default which also contains proprietary software that does not ask the user.

"Meanwhile, generative search tools’ tendency to fabricate URLs can also affect users’ ability to verify information sources. #Grok2, for instance, was prone to linking to the homepage of the publishing outlet rather than specific articles.

More than half of responses from #Gemini and #Grok3 cited fabricated or broken URLs that led to error pages. Out of the 200 prompts we tested for Grok 3, 154 citations led to error pages"

The latest example of a potential new variant evolving in a long-term chronic infection has been detected by the diligent work of those collecting and sequencing samples in South Africa.

As Ryan H describes on this thread, it is descended from the BA.3 lineage, which last in circulation about 3 years ago. So presumably it has been evolving in a chronic case since then, and recently managed to transmit to other people. The latest sample is from a different province and with one added Spike mutation (K356T).

in reply to Mike Honey

Here’s the frequency of the BA.3 samples in the context of all the recent samples from South Africa. Optimistically, we can hope that it has already gone extinct, as there have been >35 samples collected since it was last detected.

In the context of global sampling, there are still thousands of samples reported each week, so it seems unlikely to be spreading widely, yet.

in reply to Mike Honey

Meanwhile, the wastewater surveillance from NICD in South Africa showed a wild, wild spike in recent months – on the scale of the original Omicron wave (just prior to the start of their data).

Hopefully that is just a coincidence, but it is quite puzzling what might’ve driven that.

Washington Blues: A Government Town Faces a Gloomy Future

For years, Washington, D.C., was insulated from many of the economic forces that decimated many older U.S. cities. Now, as Elon Musk’s mass layoffs shake everything from employment to real estate, the region faces the prospect of decline.

Saw a post about teens not dating anymore, and... I think I am anti-dating? It feels like training kids in outdated courtship ritual that revolves around spending money and by extension commodifies relationship?


Essa figura feminina não usa nada, exceto um penteado trançado e um sorriso. Ela está segurando seus seios, um gesto típico das Deusas babilônicas. O acabamento é rudimentar, o estilo é simples, mas esse objeto cotidiano de bolso nos permite olhar de maneira direta para o rosto de uma personagem de três mil e quinhentos anos atrás. 122 mm de altura.

USANazi regime:
We are gonna annex Canada! We are going to threaten & fire our most competent, most skilled professionals! We are going to do whatever we want because we are number one.

Canadians:
Number one most hated nation.
That is never going to happen.
We will fast track your medical professionals & look at fast tracking other skilled professionals who want to live/work in Canada instead of being under threats by their own government. Thanks, for for brain draining your best & brightest.



‘People Are Scared’: Inside CISA as It Reels From Trump’s Purge

“Most people are … doing the work of 2+ full-time [staffers].”

First world problem: you eat whatever you want, including sugar and fastfood, yet your calorie deficit is about to kill you. Seriously, I might have to get used to proteine cocktails to compensate daily losses… guess in a way it’s even good to be me.

@admin i only started regular workouts recently (4.5 months ago), to my great surprise my appetite didn’t change and this resulted in calorie deficit and now in low energy. Genetics again, my whole family was unhealthy in almost every way except for metabolism… wishing you the best of health and strength, I wish we all were less dependent on things we can’t change no matter how hard we try.
