I honestly kind of like it. Both the design mess, and also that there's very little zoning going on. In our immediate neighbourhood we have apartment buildings and family homes; two parks; two izakayas and a couple of hairdressers; a car repair shop; a rental car lot; two different tiny […]

If it helps it had its start in the 1970's as a reaction to social liberalism and societal changes.
This swing toward far-right conservatism has been in the works (more or less planned and deliberate) for over fifty years, and it's going to take as much work, for as long, to push the […]

Lack of time management is my guess.
People will assume the time through the test is linear, so A people spend less time on the math problem, then breeze through the multiple choice with time to spare.
B people will spend too much time on the faster problems at the start and be […]

Would a map of economic distribution show a similar pattern? I suspect it would.

In my current job as HPC user support I love meeting researchers to help them get their work done on our systems. I enjoy writing the documentation, and I really enjoy teaching HPC fundamentals, Python programming and so on.
I never really enjoyed helping colleagues or teaching […]

Why care about Vulkan support?
Because CUDA works only on NVIDIA cards new enough that they still provide drivers. And ROCm supports only a small subset of AMD cards.
Vulkan is well supported on just about any GPU or GPU-like device out there, from cheap Android devices up to the largest […]

For #Vulkan it gets juuust a little sketchy:
There's a fork of ollama that provides Vulkan support:

No releases yet. But in one of the issues, one user provides prebuilt binaries for Ubuntu:

Ah. I never tried that. We use my wife's iPad for this (we just this morning realized it's the only thing the iPad is ever used for) and it's set to japanese.
Might be worth reporting in the feedback form at the end. They seem receptive to constructive comments.

The Aeon in Chatan by any chance? They do "time sales" with this music now and again. Annoying enough that I rather wait outside until it's quiet again.

Figured out why some MPI jobs were suddenly failing when using more than ~1000 processes after our update. Turned out to be a combination of two seemingly unrelated issues in two separate parts of the software stack.
But it's all working and the users are happy again!
Ps. Mastodon […]

It's probably (mostly) a gimmick, yes.
But I guess they do it this way to avoid having to put down, then pick up the coffee jug again. That takes time on its own, and increases the risk of a mistake that stops the whole process.
Also, why have a jug at all? Why would it not brew the […]

What I liked the Swedish variant: The opponent - not you - presents the thesis. And the defence is entirely about the thesis, not about you; nobody will ask you questions to find out if you've learned anything.
Less fun/more interesting: it's public, and advertised. Family […]

Coming from a small country, but living in another where getting "my" keyboard layout ranges from expensive to impossible. So I blindly remap the widely available keyboards to my language.

For *reasons* I have to always use a heavily remapped keyboard where many symbols have moved around. Then I got a HHKB with black-on-black keycaps (still remapped) as my main keyboard. By now I completely ignore what the keycap says when I press a key.
Which is not great the rare […]

We can see the ocean both from home and me from work. In the summer it's really cool to see squalls forming and moving around in the distance, surrounded by clear skies.

And here I am slightly concerned that my desktop takes 270W in total when playing bg3...
I kind of want a new GPU but I don't want to increase the power draw too much.
