Where in India? I’d love to explore if it’s nearby where I live

At which scale are you looking at? We have used Miyawaki to create a microclimate around our house, perhaps 120m^2, in a tier-3 town in Andhra. I have heard someone saying the minimum is around 10m2, in order to have room for proper diversity.

I saw video last week in India there was similar experiment done in sun the temperature 45 degrees C and 30 step walk under the tree the temperature 36 degrees C. We need more trees as an easy solution

I hope there would be enforced regulation around this kind of thing in cities in India. In residential areas, it's common that your house takes up almost all of your available plot space, and on top of that mostly constructed from concrete.

Air temperature is already high (e.g. 36C at my location just now), and radiant heat from sun and concrete can make the felt temperature more like 60C.

It's sad that new real-estate layouts continue to be approved, which will only be good for this type of dense concrete hell.

Why is it called a deal instead of eg. a treaty? Less formalism may make it easier to achieve but sounds like easier to discern as well.

Same here, I also find that aliases for speed introduce unnecessary complexity and mental overhead later on. It's not much, and for other people it doesn't matter or they have a different preference, but that's what I prefer.

Sort of contrary to that I really enjoy the maximalist shells. A computer should be fun to use!

I don't use aliases, but abbreviations that expand to the actual full command. Helpful to type less and history has the exact.

I'm sticking with LaTeX, not as a fetish, but because journal/conferences still do not accept e.g. typst. Will they ever do? I don't know, depends on their willingness to integrate it into their toolchains I guess?

Every sci-fi is a contemporary author's idea of the future. The further our the more unlikely the idea. Would love the site to be extended to any sci-fi. The percentages could be automated. How close to Dune are we?

This article highlights something interesting... it is quite common to get at least one /64 IPv6 block from a hosting provider or ISP. Yet most of the rate-limiting and IP blocking is done for a single IP. Sounds like when dealing with IPv6, an entire block of /64 should be rate-limited or blocked.

I'm on a relatively large Indian ISP, and my home network gets an IPv6 network assigned, which is directly routable. Didn't think about it until tailscale told me it was connecting over a direct IPv6 connection and I wondered how that was possible. Sounds like 90s network rampage may be back here.
gumbojuice commented on Human coders are still better than LLMs   antirez.com/news/153... · Posted by u/longwave
gumbojuice · 9 months ago
I like to use llm to produce code for known problems that I don't have memorized.

I memorize really little and tend to spend time on reinventing algorithms or looking them up in documentation. Verifying is easy except the fee cases where the llm produces something really weird. But then fallback to docs or reinventing.

Needs a (2018) added to the title -- the list of recent posts[1] gives the publication date as 2018-06-13.

Incidentally: Bloggers, please put dates in your actual blog post templates. The date is an important part of the context of any article.

[EDIT: The author of the article has already added the date to their template. Thanks!]

I feel like blog posts auto -adjust posts to some recent date for seo optimization, so most dates on blog posts are useless.

It's not great news for my old phone used for wifi at our guesthouse (let's a few security cams and our smart lock get online)
