From wikipedia

> Attested from c. 2900 BC. Went out of vernacular use around 1700 BC; used as a classical language until about 100 AD.

So vernacular use stopped roughly 3725 years ago

And it hasn't been spoken for almost 2000 years

So why am I learning a language that hasn't been spoken in 50 years?

I don’t think this is the https://xkcd.com/2347/ of the ops world? People will usually use the ingress controller of their cloud provider. I’ve been using the tailscale ingresses for tailscale funnel. But the transition from ingress to gateway api is seeming to take forever so I’m just running a caddy pod with a static config until the dust settles.

I think it has a lot to do with licensing. Companies feel safer using BSDs because there’s no fear of being sued under the MIT license, I suspect this is the reason sony chose FreeBSD for the playstations. A second reason would be quality vs linux, netflix has been line rate encrypted traffic with FreeBSD just because the network stack is (was?) more mature than linux. We used it at $job for zfs file servers because it’s native and much more mature than linux alternatives.

Nice to finally have a hackable headset on the market. I’ve been using the dji goggles for fpv flying because of vendor lock in. I wonder I could use these with OpenIPC to fly fpv with a fully open video stack.

I'm looking forward to seeing what hacks get done to the devices and what software is dreamed up.

Flying now requires you to own a smartphone

With Ryanair. Something to be avoided if at all possible, but a very bad precedent in any case.

Rather, enough people have smartphone that they won’t be object to using it as boarding pass.

And to install an app, which almost certainly has privacy invasion baked into the terms of use.

Nice that Suspend/sleep is on asahi-edge, I hope it will be upstreamed soon. I’m hoping to switch to asahi linux for the M series gpus to do video editing seriously on a laptop. Curious to hear how other people are doing this, or is everyone video editing on desktop?

Using x86_64 laptops???

pretty much every large tv/film studio/production company uses Linux for vfx/pipelines, and Windows is more common than macOS. macs are much more widely used by independent/solo creatives, and smaller outfits. ARM (both Apple Silicon and Windows on ARM) is still relatively new to the scene, and is definitely still the underdog in terms of usage.

Having worked in VFX: almost all of those studios use a Mac for video editing and many of the larger ones for their review rooms as well.

Most of them are on Apple silicon by now specifically because of the video decoder performance and large memory pool.

just a handful? or are most of their machines Macs?

Most of the general machines will be Linux workstations but none of them are doing video editing on Linux. They’ll have Mac’s for their in house editors and concept artists.

Windows isn’t common for VFX studios outside of unreal engine use or very specific software.

I would vouch it depends on which country those studios are located, and VFX reference platform exists for a reason.

huh I thought Maya + Windows was pretty stereotypical

Maya + Linux is the de facto for VFX work. Windows with Maya is usually only used in smaller studios or studios that are still dependent on 3DS Max.

ah that makes sense

All big advertising agency networks are on macs as well including their artists and editors. You'll see some pcs in production but only in their CGI departments. I worked at pixomondo, Accenture, the mill and the third floor and haven't seen windows outside realtime departments.

Hasn’t is always been an open secret that daring fireball it a shadow marketing website for apple?

Why install proxmox on top of debian? Proxmox distributes an iso that basically does the same as you with preseeding. Although recently had to install proxmox as an apt pkg on top of debian happened because the proxmox iso wouldn’t install properly. That actually happened twice. I think I’ll just install debian from now on…

I’ve encountered three separate machines where the proxmox installer fails. Both cli and gui. Debian first gets around that. Never figured out why

Why does the unsloth guide for gemma 3n say:

> llama.cpp an other inference engines auto add a <bos> - DO NOT add TWO <bos> tokens! You should ignore the <bos> when prompting the model!

That makes the want to try exactly that? Weird
