He appears to have replaced the original post, which was a lot more ad hominem: https://archive.ph/UZZit


Funnily enough, your archive is already a friendlier version, there is one with even more ad hominem: https://archive.ph/7ZRbY


> I’ll just remind everyone at the start that this is a respectful debate, and DHH and I tried to get on a call but couldn’t because we were both traveling.

> DHH claims to be an expert on open source, but his toxic personality and inability to scale ...

Yep, real respectful.

I don't even understand the point of the post, other than to shit on the other guy. It doesn't advance any debate or raise any questions.


The post as it is now sounds really decent and a step in the right direction. Let's not air all the dirty laundry happening here, it looks like Matt is trying to do the "right" thing here.

Here is the current iteration of that post from Matt:

"I’ve taken this post down. I’ve been attacked so much the past few days; the most vicious, personal, hateful words poisoned my brain, and the original version of this post was mean. I am so sorry. I shouldn’t let this stuff get to me, but it clearly did, and I took it out on DHH, who, while I disagree with him on several points, isn’t the actual villain in this story: it’s WP Engine and Silver Lake."


but content is sacred right? /s

he can link to his original post and put the clarification alongside if that's the case. i can change my mind if his actions show he's trying to do "right", but that takes time. for me, it's very important to know that he was even capable of writing the original post.


There's also "diskonaut", a TUI which displays the output like the treemap of WinDirStat. Bonus is that the display is incremental and updates as it scans everything, so you don't need to wait for the complete scan to see how everything looks like.

Written in Rust, and it's a `cargo install diskonaut` away if you have the rust toolchain installed.


For my daily use, Firefox needs built-in passkey support. Can't switch for all uses yet. In the meantime, I'm running both.


It's from Diamond Age, alluding to a character (YT) that was from Snow Crash.


Thanks for correcting me! That reference is even cooler than I expected.


Whoa, another (ex?) jed user in the wild. I still install it on new servers, and that was how other admins know if I was ever there. Smaller and faster than installing emacs.


Haha! "In the wild" gave me the visual image of me roaming through a foggy mountain forest with my laptop under my arm and sometimes sitting down and programming in jed and you spotting me and hopefully not shooting me.


NNCP (Bellard's prelude to ts_zip, using similar techniques) is not qualified for Hutter Prize, btw, because hardware and speed limitations specified by Hutter Prize.

"Must run in ≲50 hours using a single CPU core and <10GB RAM and <100GB HDD on our test machine." Which is an Intel Core i7-620M


There's Fabrice Bellard's textsynth server. https://bellard.org/ts_server/

No open source though.


I guess that's why the .zip format chucks its catalog index at the end of the archive. But it's still unnatural to use in a streaming format like tapes though.


What's fun is that the recent references to LoRA stands for Low-Rank Adaptation [1], not Low-Resource Adapters[2] (??? don't know if this even exists), but because Low-Rank Adaptation came out in 2021, chatgpt only explains what Low-Resource Adapters is, not Low-Rank Adaptation, which is what is being used in recent break throughs.

My own questioning of chatgpt on LoRA returns "Logistic Regression Algorithm" instead. Looks like it's too new to ChatGPT.

Just a separate rules file that blocks .in and other popular domains for India will probably work just as well.
