Interesting read. Is docker sandbox a solution in this situation?

Thanks for the write up. So the first version was synchronous, second version was using epoll and third one will be use io_uring?

> Most Linux package managers cannot separate user-installed packages from system packages.

What is the use case when someone would want to differentiate system/user installed package? Isn't it good things that they are the same - meaning once something is install - it is there regardless of how it got here.

Does anyone know any applied functional analysis book? I have strong linear algebra foundation, but no real analysis.

Very cool! What would a 10,000 feet solution look like for MySQL to Iceberg on S3?

Does anyone know if these are already explained in Eskil Steenberg's dependablec.org?

Julia language is also used for HPC according to their webpage citing performance parity with C++. Would it be correct to infer Julia also provides the same level of memory bandwidth control?

Given the individual file size and total volume, I'd argue it make sense to use move to local only storage.

On a separate note, what tool is the final benchmark screenshot form?

Is there any article explaining how AI tools are evolving since the release of ChatGPT? Everything upto MCP makes sense to me - but since then it feels like there is not clear definition on new AI jergons.

> "open training" is something that won't ever happen for large scale models

https://www.swiss-ai.org/apertus

Source: EPFL, ETH Zurich, and the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre (CSCS) has released Apertus, Switzerland’s first large-scale open, multilingual language model — a milestone in generative AI for transparency and diversity. Trained on 15 trillion tokens across more than 1,000 languages – 40% of the data is non-English – Apertus includes many languages that have so far been underrepresented in LLMs, such as Swiss German, Romansh, and many others. Apertus serves as a building block for developers and organizations for future applications such as chatbots, translation systems, or educational tools. The model is named Apertus – Latin for “open” – highlighting its distinctive feature: the entire development process, including its architecture, model weights, and training data and recipes, is openly accessible and fully documented.

Wasn’t a simpler solution was to update the Debian buster repo url to archived repo url?

> At that point, I reached for an age-old tool that has gotten more useful in the modern age: binary search. That is, you explain the symptom to your coding agent. Then you have it repeatedly remove stuff from your code that might be causing the problem

Can someone give me some high level pointers on how to setup this scaffolding?

Alex Honnold: No free soloist ever died doing anything cutting edge. Nobody died doing something really hard. A handful people died doing things that are easy. Most soloist died in different types of accidents...base jumping, rogue wave.

I was surprised to see him take breaks and wave at the crowd. Very different vibe.

He must have. My impression from the documentary is that he practice the climb route many times with safety gear first.
