I really enjoyed this blog, well written and takes the time to describe technical aspects of LLMs that I wasn't familiar with (noob here).

> Ask your LLM for details but

No, mate. You need to provide details. The onus is on you to support your claim.

I've never heard of a UBI experiment that limited "toil". Nearly all UBI studies I've come across show an improvement in life satisfaction, reduced homelessness, drug use, etc.

I think you've taken the "work less" that was found in some studies to suggest they needed "toil". They simply found it somewhere else.

SLURM -> NVIDIA. Pretty big deal for the science community.

Amazing. Hit me up if you're on the cusp of supporting another student and need a little bit more.

I'll promise to donate for 2 years if all things stay steady for me

My wife was sponsoring an Afghani girl for many years. When the Taliban took over, all education stopped for young girls.

It was really hard when we stopped receiving cute drawings. We're still have the GO AWAY CORONA :( drawing.

Edit: thanks OP for inspiring me, I've registered for monthly donations to the TEP.

The very cool https://www.astrouxds.com aims to be the pixel version of the physical dashboards. It's a very cool design library.

Not related to Astro the templating engine.

This is the approach recommended for starting a hobby as well. Buy the cheapest set of tools and if they break or are not meeting your needs.

And this is why I hate reading other peoples R scripts.

15 packages loaded but only 3 used, `rm(list = ls())` at the top of every script, hard coded paths or worse using the `here` package.

I've been watching seaweedfs for a few years now. It is very cool tech and I'm itching to use it but unfortunately the docs are very bare bones.

Do you have plans to improve the docs? Some of the info I needed was inside GitHub issues / discussions.

Overall very cool project. One of these days I'll reach out about enterprise support for my usecase.

If you're a fan of single player checkout the mod scene. It's very good. UED First Light is excellent.

Right! I like this usecase very much. For uses existing software infra to perform the required task.

I wonder now what else we've reinvented when it comes to sending data...

I don't understand the purpose. What am I missing?

The author "prints" to the eink display. Why not load say the pdf directly?

I find this single sentence not only awkward but frustratingly annoying. Bills frustration is beyond reasonable.

New comment by greazy in "Unified Arabic"

greazy — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 22:58:49 +0000

The lack of books and therefore lack of reading leads to reduce vocabulary. I read somewhere the average of known words by an Arabic speaker was substantially lower than English speakers.

When I switch to speaking Arabic (poorly) I struggle to find words because my vocab level is so bad. Imagine for an every day person, not being able to effectively express themselves. It would lead to a ton of frustration, miscommunication and misunderstanding.

I really need to improve my Arabic!

Thanks for answering my question! I also have mild aphantasia, I can navigate okay but not as well as my wife.

I also get lost or disoriented in big city centres but in a natural park or trek I'm totally fine.
