- My immediate question is that if all of that was on-disk data duplication, why did it affected download size? Can't small download be expanded into optimal layout on the client side?
- update-refs works only in a narrow case when every branch starts form the tip of a previous. Your helper might still be useful if it properly "replants" whole tree keeping its structure.
- discoverability is a big problem, especially for CLI tools which can't afford to show small hints or "what's new" popups. I myself learned it from someone else, not docs.
- That particular case can be solved much easier by rebasing outer-most branch with `--update-refs` flag.
- I got a lot of noise when plugging speakers to my display :(
- How many before you stopped? I am at 37.
- VPN app can still solve it by locally resolving configured domain into special local IP, which get VPNed into real IP on their side. You'll need to encode original DNS name into protocol somehow, so that remote side knows which real IP to access, but it is certainly doable.
- Majority of people think they are better than average drivers.
Surely those models are not smarter than _you_, right?
- Having worked with QUIC extensively lately I must say that having protocol entirely in userspace is truly liberating. It also helps that almost everything, including headers is encrypted, as a result middle boxes can't interfere and "optimise" your flow.
For high latency and high packet loss links, like one described in the article, you'll probably need pre-emptive retransmits and I am not sure that simply tuning parameters will get there. Retransmitting before loss is detected cuts bandwidth, but I suspect will improve end to end latency.
- Then you see 25% cache hit rate in production and realise that disabling it for benchmark is not a good option either.
- How is it possible to develop emotional connection to anyone with a goldfish memory? I'd be surprised if context size there is more than 50K tokens.
- huh? What did I miss?
- Then io_uring AIO mode underperformance is even more curious.
- > Google et al. were at one point pinnacle technologies too, but this was 20 years ago.
In 2017 Google literally gave us transformer architecture all current AI boom is based on.
- When I left my phone (out of battery) on a plane, I went to the flightradar and checked all airports the airplane was visiting after. Then contacted lost&found at each of them individually and eventually got my phone back. It was found only a fifth flight!
- All Linux ISOs collectors in the world wholeheartedly agree.
- Usually their revenue is from affiliate links. YouTube channels have ad spots, merch sales etc. There are many shills of course, but some are doing their best to give accurate reviews and don't shy away from bashing manufacturers for their missteps.
Yet widely known (to enthusiasts) problems, like stutters from the OP, are often not mentioned at all.
LinusTechTips doesn't depend on ASUS money in any meaningful way, but still failed to mention stutters in their Zephyrus G16 review. Some might say LTT is not a reviewer, he is an entertainer, but he undeniably thrives to be accurate while doing so.
- It always puzzles me how apparently well known flaws never mentioned by product reviewers, even genuinely pro-consumer and generally well respected, like rtings or notebookchecks.
You buy product after stellar review, encounter problem, search for solution, find reddit thread where everyone is "yeah, it is always like that, why do you act surprised?"
Why indeed?
Sounds like your manager felt that he need to provide at least some feedback and it is best/safest he could come up with.
