I'm not sure I'd call 1.5min processing compared to 3-5 min processing as "interactive".

Except you can overclock v3 :)

Nah. I want fixes in macos, not "boring" nor "shiny updates".
dur-randir··on Review of Anti-Aging Drugs
Shitty shits. Literally. As for metabolic acidoses, rates are extremely low (<10 cases per 100,000 patient-years, per https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26773926/), so it's almost a non-concern.

>Hopefully the last breaking change.

Every year's cope with systemd.

dur-randir··on Debian 13 “Trixie”
I've been living with sysvinit up until Debian 11. Then it became unusable with lxc containers :(, so I had to bite the bullet. But for the basic system it indeed works.

dur-randir··on Qwen-Image: Crafting with native text rendering
Memory bandwidth is only relevant for comparing LLM performance. For image generation, the limiting factor is compute, and Apple sucks with it.

dur-randir··on Fast and cheap bulk storage: using LVM to cache HDDs on SSDs
I have a 100TB array setup with LVM. I've thought (twice, each time I expanded this array) about using ZFS. It was ruled out for three things:

- there had been no raidz expansion (but now is, so this point is crossed)

- ZFS degrades read latency with the number of drives in array, while mdraid/lvm scales linearly - this is the price you pay for your checksums

- write-cache options on ZFS are atrotious, ZIL/SLOG are nothing compared to dm_writecache - I can stream 2GB/s full of sync writes until my cache drive is filled up, and it also provides reads to freshly written data, without going to backing pool

So, saying "why not ZFS" or "go buy some SSDs" is not really productive for promoting ZFS - it just underscores that "for ZFS" crowd are zealots.

dur-randir··on Sapphire: Rust based package manager for macOS
Their maintainers have a rather dubious anti-user history with opt-out analytics and forced auto updates to said analytics.
dur-randir··on A M.2 HDMI capture card
>I wish you didn't have to buy Xeon

But that's the whole point of Intel's market segmentation strategy - otherwise their low-tier workstation Xeons would see no market.

Any Linux with LVM. You don't need fancy proprietary OS for that.

>Vita Nostra, Marina & Sergey Dyachenko

That's far from their best novel, but unfortunately most aren't translated into English - there're Polish and sometimes Deutsch translations only :(

I've tried using it once and got compiler crash from the get go. Still no response on the bugtracker. Next try in 5 years.
