I always enjoy stories about Ada, Pascal, Object Pascal, Prolog, Perl, OCaml, Standard ML, Forth, Pike, Fortran, Scheme, Common Lisp, or some APL derivative in use in the wild.

It’s especially good to see a story about a recent project on a smaller system using Ada.


This is interesting and all, but “LoRA” is painfully close to “LoRa” (which is related to radio networking, not AI) when just scanning a list of topics. We’re never going to beat the Shannon limit on acronyms and initialisms.

I’m glad the rest of the anchor text gave some context.


A version of this comment is posted in all submissions about Low Rank Adapters. I don't see how "Learning to reason in 13 parameters" would apply to low power radio communication, so it's even less relevant this time.

I’m sorry if that reads like a complaint.


I see this comment on every single LoRA post despite the vast majority of posts being about LoRA not LoRa. Can we please stop beating this dead horse?

Never heard of the radio thing. I suspect LoRA has already eclipsed LoRa in general usage. It's probably more appropriate to complain on a LoRa post that it's too close to LoRA.

And I'm the exact opposite. I never heard about LoRA, but I have used LoRa and was curious to see what it had to do with reasoning.

It's just an unfortunate name collision: disambiguating by use of capitals only works with computers.


The dollar amount and delivery time is a good rule is a good one. This varies quite a bit based on the nature of your projects. The month might be flexible. Maybe a quarter or half year for some people?

> I used to believe the unwinding of the Petrodollar would take a generation, it's now likely to happen this year.

Why do you think the specific regime change targets of Venezuela then Iran, and the oil blockade of Cuba? Look at the volume of oil and natural gas from Venezuela and Iran. Look at how much is imported to Cuba. Now, look at what currencies they were using or trying to use instead of the US dollar.

Now, also, look at the extraction and refining capacity in the Middle East that has been destroyed or badly damaged in the past month. Different oil fields produce different types and grades of crude. The US mostly produces sweet light and sweet intermediate crude on land. The US gulf coast has a big refining capacity for sour heavy crude, which is the main exported kind from both Venezuela and Iran. The US right now after all the attacks on Iran and by Iran on US-friendly countries (along with Ukraine damaging capacity in Russia as part of their war) has a huge advantage in LNG production and in refining the very type of oil from Iran and Venezuela.

Put that all together and it looks like rather than only distracting from pedophilia (which is one motive for all sorts of things the administration does) and trying to culturally and ethnically purge the United States that there just might be another reason for all of these things happening within about a quarter. It could be assumed that the guy who said we were going to have a US as the energy leader of the world and who brags about all the access US companies can now have to Venezuelan oil might be trying to prop up the petrodollar through expeditionary warfare.


I don’t think he’s interested in general approval. Having a fervent cultish minority support and being detested by others both seem to suit him. Hell, he seems to enjoy being able to paint himself a victimized underdog to his followers.

Technically you can route without isolation, but VLANs are definitely a good idea if you’re using a single port.

There are 2.5 Gbps, 5, and even 10 Gbps USB NICs these days, although 10 Gbps ones are pretty expensive and require really recent USB ports.

I agree I want my local network and my WAN port separate, if for no other reasons than so I can use ssh to get into the router from my LAN with the WAN port disabled.


We’d be living in a different world if Trotsky had succeeded Lenin.

I’m a dog person, but most cats are lower maintenance than most dogs.

High ROI though

Does your cat welcome you every day when you come home like you're the most awesome person in the world? Doubtful! Dogs - hell yeah


Well, as I said I’m more of a dog person. I work from home and have for years, but if I step out to mow the lawn our little guy is frantic to greet me when I come inside.

Cats, for me, are rather higher maintenance than for most, too. I’m not wheezing and coughing to death allergic. I am however runny nose; mildly itchy skin; and itchy, crusty, swollen closed eyes allergic to most cat breeds. Cute, though, and some are actually very friendly and even cuddly.


Not illegal, but much harder to find than the sliced, cured belly meat (often from the side of the belly) usually meant when we just say “bacon” without qualification. One can get Canadian bacon, cured side bacon, cured back bacon, uncured pork belly, uncured side meat, uncured back meat, turkey bacon, beef bacon, and several other things in bacon-like categories. If you just say “bacon”, though, you’re probably going to get pork belly meat cured with salt and/or some form of sugar, and possibly smoked.

All I have to show for direct monetary damages is a drop in conversions if I’m using that site to sell or inform people about a product or a service.

If they’re changing the content of my website before showing it to viewers without my permission that also gets into copyright, tortious interference, possibly trademark, and maybe even CFAA causes.

I imagine this would be an opt-in service. Either the user uses a special browser that’s clearly marketed to do exactly this as opposed to the original content or the website operator opts in to having their content updated on the fly for users like this.
