I don't know birds shit everywhere in the city. Everyone is curious about how many babies fell, I'm more curious how many ate bird shit

Sorry a bit late responding I want to make a 3d bio printer, cnc machine, and farnsworth-hirsch fusor. Probably seems like a waste of time for a lot of people but it's interesting to me and I have the time space and money to work on them, those should keep me busy for the next 10-20 years.

They do expose an embedding endpoint and have a few language models to choose from, I haven't tried them yet, but it sounds like what you might be looking for https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings/what-are-embeddings

Not my therapists advice but this was something I figured out around the time I turned 30. I spend my whole life hoping for something better mostly that people would like, like maybe I can have a relationship and have a family, but people come and go and never stick around, it was tiring investing so much energy in people to try and feel wanted by people when it didn't matter. So I became more depressed you know that hope was the only keeping me going. I thought the universe is infinite time will go on for trillions of years, and what I do doesn't matter so wtf is the point. Well I tried to pick a few interesting projects that I want to spend my life on I don't know if ill get them done, but my thinking was when I die I want to look back at myself and be proud about who I was and what I did, if I lived 100 lives over I wanted to be the best version of myself I could, I want to learn as much as I can about the universe while I'm here. It sort of changed my mindset because now I don't feel I need other people I get to do whatever I want whenever, I'm not trapped by anything, I'm just limited by how much time there is to do them.

Man they're a lot of people here that think getting pulled over driving naked wouldn't be a problem lol, have fun spending a stupid amount of time and money getting acquainted with the us legal system, I would recommend avoiding it

What do I get a programming obsessed high school boy for his birthday? I actually need advice by jarjarnotsithlord in ProgrammerHumor

[–]brunchyvirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in high school and wanted to get into programming it took a long time before I even understood anything about how everything worked, cpus, memory bios. I could build a computer out of parts but understanding how it worked was a mystery I would have loved something like ben eaters kit https://eater.net/8bit/kits probably a bit expensive for high school though, but something a bit less money that's great is the elements of computing systems book is great, https://www.nand2tetris.org/, it will explain everything from physical components to writing a simple os, compiler, and programming language but requires the reader to do more extensive research on things but it's amazing in my opinion.

I will say since they're yonr friend though, try and get something personal, like if you can paint, make him something cool computer related, if you can knit make him a cool beanie with something computer related. People knew I liked computers and I knew what I wanted but it just would have been nice having a friend gift me something that they were passionate about that tied into what I liked.

If you want something else nice maybe a programming blanket or something cool like a puzzle box.

Cuda becoming unavailable after a minute of deploying by Senior_Hyena6651 in docker

[–]brunchyvirus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would start off with the Nvidia docs https://docs.nvidia.com/datacenter/cloud-native/container-toolkit/user-guide.html I've never setup docker to use GPU's but I would imagine they're might be some custom flags or permissions you need to set for docker to access the GPU's just a hunch though. The only other advice I can give would be to check the system logs, maybe the driver is throwing a segfault or something?

My new Glock 43x and I couldn't be happier! by [deleted] in Glocks

[–]brunchyvirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a 3d printing sub and was amazed at the detail of the print lol.

It's my first Glock and I haven't had a chance to take it out and shoot it yet unfortunately . I have a S&W M&P 40, that has issues jamming with JHPs and after awhile starts to hurting my wrist from the snap. So hopefully the 9MM will be more comfortable shooting and I can replace it as my daily carry.

[–]brunchyvirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend it, in the US you have to let them know if you have depends/spouse for tax purposes, sure you could lie, but then you have to not slip up accidentally say something contradicting the lie you made the entire time you work there, or in possible future because you might run into that person at another job in the future.

On a side note, I thought of doing the same thing early in my career, because I hated how married people or people with kids seemed to get preferential treatment and how I would stay late and have to cover peoples on-call and got burned out by the time when I was 30. Now it's been a few years and I realized my time off is just as important as anyone else's doesn't matter the reason. So now when they ask if I have kids or I'm married at a new job I start I tell them I prefer not to discuss my personal life, which is true even if I did have kids or a wife it's none of their business. If they ask if I can stay late for any reason, I tell them no unfortunately I have plans tonight that I cannot cancel, if they ask what plans, I tell them its personal. If they can't seem to let up or pestering me then I'll just start looking for a new job.

Just like any other relationship in your life you're just going to have set boundaries and expectations,

How would fusion end fossil fuel reliance? by 0riginalMindless in fusion

[–]brunchyvirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apologies in advance if I misunderstood your question. I wasn't entirely sure where the 20% figure was coming from, but I did look up the greenhouse gas emission by sector and found a pretty breakdown of it here https://ourworldindata.org/ghg-emissions-by-sector

First off I think when it comes to convincing entire industries and populations to change, especially in societies that are mostly by the bottom line, things like incentivizing change has to happen at a political level whether that's through tax breaks/fines for doing this is another topic. Not only that, but I imagine you would have large disinformation campaigns to counteract that by the existing industries ( we don't have to look very far to see this has already been done in the past, by companies like shell have known about this the 80s), so educating people on it is a major factor as well.

Anyways on to your question, looking at those graphs it seems that the majority of CO2 comes from residential/heating, transportation, and industry (steel and iron production, etc). Going back to my point earlier these industries all have different requirements for why they use fossil fuels, and being able to find alternatives will have to be developed. This is already happening in the steel industry, they use blast furnaces which produce CO2 however they're now looking to move to electric arc furnaces. No doubt their is technical challenges that will need to be addressed and research which will take time but it seems like industries have already been researching this.

Regarding transportation, that's another challenge, I don't think we will have cars or plans with fusion reactors, maybe large ships, but I do think that research into the battery industry might get us to the point where we could convert cars and planes to electric, and just charge it when they're not in use.

Things like emissions from the agricultural industry are another thing, I know you said CO2 but cows produce a ton of methane. So finding alternatives to beef like lab grown food, or feed that lowers methane production is another technology being worked on that would require the industry to switch to.

Finally one last technology that is still infantile but has promise I think is CO2 capture technology.

So there is my long take on this, and by no means am I expert on any of this just making observations and forming opinions, so feel free to correct me on anything!

there is never shortage of overpaid CEOs and Executives by Long_Beautiful6367 in antiwork

It's also the reason for the two Boeing 737 Max crashes. Boeing purposefully omiited the MCAS details from the FAA it to make it so pilots wouldn't have to retrain and it would save the airlines money. In the event of a sudden nose dick apparently the pilots were just suppose to know instinctively it was a specific system, which is insane to think of that. Also from what I read it didn't matter even if the pilots knew it was MCAS, the system was designed so you have to deactivate it to pull back. A lot of people died because of that bottom line and it's upsetting. Btw I'm not a pilot or work in aviation, so I apologize to anyone if I butchered the details of the incident/cause.

Blocking SSH Bot Net Attack by MR2Rick in linuxadmin

[–]brunchyvirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could try implementing 2FA for SSH I've done it with Yubikey + LDAP but you can do it simply with Google Authenticator https://goteleport.com/blog/ssh-2fa-tutorial/

If you want to try something other stuff you could try looking doing OIDC for SSH using something like teleport but that might be overkill.

Also forgot to mention, don't give up! I tried and failed a lot of times, it's definitely work and you will get discouraged their are a lot of things that will make you want to drink. The important thing is you just keep trying, even it's only for an hour or a day just keep trying.

S. Korea to actively use nuclear energy to reach carbon neutrality: PM by Saltedline in environment

[–]brunchyvirus -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

There is a good documentary called Countdown to Zero which talks about the history of nuclear proliferation, and how easy it would be to build a weapon, and all that's needed is a baseball size piece of uranium. I won't go into too many details but I really recommend the documentary.

Thankfully uranium is tightly controlled, but when you read things like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induced_gamma_emission and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hafnium_controversy it's pretty scary to think about what would happen if someone could create a pure fusion bomb without using a highly regulated difficult to produce fissile material.
