Large Hadron Collider taking the L tonight. That rampdown pattern (black graph) is NOT normal 😬 I’ve only ever seen the magnets do that one other time, and that was ten years ago after a small animal got fried on an 18 kV power line.

The bright #LLM future, next part.

git.gentoo.org is now effectively dead, being DDoS-ed by almost a million different IPs every day. Most of them are just performing a single request at a totally random URL. How are people supposed to deal with that? How can we distinguish a legitimate user who hit some URL from a scraper that distributes its operations over thousands of IP addresses?

If you use LLM crap, you're part of the problem. You support these bastards. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Or the more likely option, since the press failed to investigate his first staged assassination attempt, it’s now his go-to move when his pole numbers get too low.

@glyph

Numba has been a godsend for my simple but voluminous math problem (billions of tx). What took 15 minutes pure Python got crushed to 14 seconds once cleaned-up of any superfluous admin stuff and @jit'd.

It's hilarious how everything Sam Altman thought AI would become, turned out to be dead ends. He was basically wrong about everything, and now OpenAI is scrambling.

Since Linkding doesn’t offer any sane way to get lists of shared bookmarks at the individual user level (since doing it via the API requires a separate per-user API token, and there’s no user-specific attribute in the RSS feed URL structure), I worked out a simple workaround involving querying the database directly. So now in addition to feeds for tags, you can get per-user feeds of shared bookmarks with this syntax: https://feeds.later.place/adam@omg.lol

Linkding’s feed URL syntax can be a little wacky, so I put together a simpler way to generate feeds for specific tags from a "feeds" subdomain. Like this: https://feeds.later.place/pokemon

Just change the tag name at the end of the URL to generate a feed for that specific tag. The feed will include all shared (public) bookmarks using that tag across the instance.

It's been a while since I had to ask this question too seriously, so it's interesting to see the where the ecosystem has transitioned to. Lots of new libraries (I've never used PyBind11) but also venerable ones (Boost.Python, cffi). Interesting to hear that parameter conversions are still a significant overhead. Cross the boundaries infrequently, with large values, to avoid the translation overhead explosion, which is ancient wisdom: https://blog.glyph.im/2022/12/potato-programming.html

If you're enjoying my somewhat disjointed attempt at liveblogging North Bay Python here, I'm mostly doing this to try to keep my famously discursive attention focused.

If you want a *good* liveblog, I have no idea how @MaggieFero manages it but their posts are the gold standard
