haiku2077··on Complete silence is always hallucinated as "ترجمة نانسي قنقر" in Arabic
I've noticed this also happens in english Whisper models with the phrases:

"[ sub by sk cn2 ]"

or

"Anyways, thanks for watching! Please subscribe and like! Thanks for watching! Bye!"

or

"This is the end of the video. Thank you for watching. If you enjoyed this video, please subscribe to the channel. Thank you."

> Should piloting a plane solo be outlawed?

Pretty much every civil aviation authority in the world requires two pilots on commercial flights.

haiku2077··on LetsEncrypt Outage
Certainly something a hell of a lot simpler then x509 - and without assumptions from the 1990s hardcoded into it
haiku2077··on Log by time, not by count
"customer" is hard to describe since the buyers are very large organizations. Think multinationals, entities which have air forces and space programs, etc.
haiku2077··on Log by time, not by count
My systems scale to somewhere around 200,000+ machines at peak and seem to do fine.

Electricity can be moved long distances over wires.

Something I've done in the past is send some logs to BigQuery for cheap mass storage and others to Grafana for fast querying and use in live dashboards. Basically a filter rule in our logging agent to send different events to different destinations. I think with some more hacking I could get both datasources into the same Grafana frontend...

For Python I like structlog which has a feature for including exception info in a readable form: https://www.structlog.org/en/stable/exceptions.html

Does logfmt allow nesting? I often inckude data structures like dicts/maps, arrays or complex objects in my JSON logs.
haiku2077··on Log by time, not by count
Best advice I ever got on logging:

    log all major logical branches within code (if/for)
    if "request" span multiple machine in cloud infrastructure, include request ID in all so logs can be grouped
    if possible make log level dynamically controlled, so grug can turn on/off when need debug issue (many!)
    if possible make log level per user, so can debug specific user issue

The only one I'll add is: If your logs are usually read in a log aggregator like Splunk or Grafana instead of in a console or text file, log as JSON objects instead of lines of text. It makes searches easier.

haiku2077··on FFmpeg devs boast of another 100x leap thanks to handwritten assembly code
If anyone is curious to learn more, look up "profile-guided optimization" which observes the running program and feeds that information back into the compiler
haiku2077··on Coding with LLMs in the summer of 2025 – an update
Cuz all the adults around me called it a Kleenex when I was growing up and I've internalized the word for that kind of tissue is Kleenex
haiku2077··on Coding with LLMs in the summer of 2025 – an update
When I need a facial tissue I ask for a Kleenex even if the box says Puffs. Because who says "pass me the Puffs"?

Reading that article, it reads more like the person skipped the weigh station and got pulled over by the highway patrol cop usually at the weigh station. Weigh stations will often have a patrol car sitting by the highway that pulls over anyone speeding or who needs to stop at the weigh station but didn't. So CBP (not ICE) was called by a highway officer.

Still to your point of a state government authority calling the feds because someone they interacted with looked Hispanic.

I pay for search and have convinced several of my collaborators to do so as well
haiku2077··on Intel to boost gross margins – new products must deliver 50% gross profit
I've got an AMD card I bought last year under $1k with 24GB. Meanwhile Nvidia is putting out these weird 8GB and 16GB cards in that price range.
haiku2077··on Beyond Meat fights for survival
I remember the veggie burgers they're talking about and they weren't black bean patties. The one I remember had potato with peas in it... god, it was delicious

Companies that big have legal requirements to keep much of their data around for 5-7 years anyway.

This is also why I use rclone copy instead of rclone sync for my backups, using API keys without permission to delete objects.
haiku2077··on Every part on a bicycle is safety critical
I have lost a chain twice on motorcycles! Can definitely be sketchy if you don't react immediately.

And the seatpost thing is one I've heard about - IIRC Peloton had to recall several million stationary bikes because of a similar failure.

Many companies share non-public data with law enforcement if asked nicely.
haiku2077··on Fully homomorphic encryption and the dawn of a private internet
For very large amounts of data, the cloud provider can hit economies of scale using tape drives ($$$$ to buy a tape drive yourself) or enterprise-class hard drives (very loud + high price of entry if you want redundancy + higher failure rate than other storage). That's why storing data in the slower storage classes in S3 and other object stores is so cheap compared to buying and replacing drives.
