streb-lo | 5 months ago | on: Bcachefs removed from the mainline kernel

That's a good argument to keep recovery tools in userland rather than bend the kernel around them.

Why do they need to be in the kernel anyways? Presumably they are running on an unmounted device?

streb-lo | 6 months ago | on: The current state of LLM-driven development

I don’t really see how it’s different than how you’d setup someone really junior to have a playground of sorts.

It’s not exactly a groundbreaking line of reasoning that leads one to the conclusion of “I shouldn’t let this non-deterministic system access production servers.”

Now, setting up an LLM so that they can iterate without a human in the loop is a learned skill, but not a huge one.

The situation you’re outlining is trivial though.

Yea, there’s some grunt work involved but in terms of learned ability all of that is obvious to someone who knew only a little bit about LLMs.

Is there a reason all workspace accounts need a project ID? We pay for gemini pro for our workspace accounts but we don't use GCP or have a project ID otherwise.

The vast majority of them volunteered. And that's just conscription -- every country would do the same in such a situation. The US pursued and prosecuted thousands of cases of draft dodging in WW2, forcing most of them to go and fight.

streb-lo | 1 year ago | on: TikTok says it is restoring service for U.S. users

At least post the rest of the relevant text:

>the President may grant a 1-time extension of not more than 90 days with respect to the date on which this subsection would otherwise apply to such application pursuant to paragraph (2), if the President certifies to Congress that-- (A) a path to executing a qualified divestiture has been identified with respect to such application;

>(B) evidence of significant progress toward executing such qualified divestiture has been produced with respect to such application; and

>(C) there are in place the relevant binding legal agreements to enable execution of such qualified divestiture during the period of such extension.

It seems highly unlikely any of those criteria are being. Trump is not even suggesting it, never mind providing receipts.

streb-lo | 1 year ago | on: The Texas Triangle: A rising megaregion unlike all others (2021)

Yea, that makes sense. I think you can conceivably define a megaregion to include places like the PNW corridor, the bay area, research triangle, etc. I'm just a bit baffled how Spokane and the region between makes the cut. Seems like the author just wanted to draw a bigger circle.

streb-lo | 1 year ago | on: Bug hunting in Btrfs

As someone who uses a rolling release, I use btrfs because I don't want to deal with keeping ZFS up to date.

It's been really good for me. And btrbk is the best backup solution I've had on Linux, btrfs send/receive is a lot faster than rsync even when sending non-incremental snapshots.

streb-lo | 2 years ago | on: Cloning a Laptop over NVMe TCP

Yea, there needs to be a `snapshot -r` option or something. I like using subvolumes to manage what gets a snapshot but sometimes you want the full disk.
