I faced pretty much the exact same choice, except I was given four of them, each with 8 GB of RAM.

Unfortunately they were two different hardware revisions, so the most I could achieve was two servers with 16 GB each.

They sound like a Jet taking off when powered up and the BIOS doesn’t support lower fan speeds.

Instead after months of deliberation I decided to go with a SFF Lenovo, 32 GB, 2 x 1 TB NVME, Ryzen 7, and bought this:

It’s whisper quiet and running Proxmox.

To get VM video passthrough to work I installed an extra video card, though, you could install a desktop on the host OS instead if you prefer.

The video card I used to fit inside is this:

I’m sure I’m not alone in asking:

1. How do you set a SIM PIN on a modern smartphone?
2. Can it be more than four digits?
3. What’s to stop it being brute forced?

Don’t know what it would cost, but it would likely take hell freezing over before it happens.

Pandoc will convert markdown to a PDF in portrait or landscape and there’s even “beamer” support, aka data projector or presentation support.

Why run Docker Desktop when it’s installable as a cli service?

What are you actually trying to achieve?

While they’re at it, could they please also penalize Android app developers who do this too?

Wasn’t that a quote from the most recent episode of The Pitt, just after Dr. J was discovered sitting on a bed making a video?

So … not made from potato then?

Tah. I’ll have a look see.

Not sure how, or if, I’d want to install an Arch package under Debian, but it’s my understanding that the package I’ve raised a bug for under Debian implements, or is supposed to at least, the functionality you’re describing.

What I haven’t found is a recipe that documents exactly how it’s supposed to work (not to mention, in a Debian way).

I’d love to discover something that doesn’t start with instructions to remove all pipewire packages and install from source, since that completely defeats the purpose of running Debian Stable as the host.

In my adventures I did look at this, but it appears to require that you install support for this inside the guest, which is possible for modern guests, but not for ancient ones like say Debian Wheezy or Win98se.

Nobody gets fired for buying IBM … apparently.

CVE: Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures

Or … you could just transport it in an unmarked truck, but then there wouldn’t be this perfect free marketing “opportunity”.

For me, the way to deal with this was to raise my arms above my head in a stretch. Made it stop every time.

Thought I was having a heart attack the first couple of times it happened.

As an adult, I still have them from time to time, but not anywhere as frequently, though still without any warning.

So, why is this being disclosed here and not a CVE reported to Apple?

While contemplating that, my Mac has been up for longer than that and it’s working fine.

The Mac I had before that was up for years, also fine.

So … what is this really about?

They are deterministic but complex to determine.

The Assumed Intelligence systems I’m familiar with have a “random” element, but it’s unclear where that source of randomness comes from. It it using a computational random source, or something like the lava lamp wall at Cloudflare, which is significantly more random, potentially actually random.

Unfortunately the complete article is not available, which is yet another issue exacerbated by the Assumed Intelligence cohort.

While I understand your point, deterministic with a billion variables is beyond human ability to process, let alone the multi-billion parameter models in general circulation today.

At what point does deterministic descend into random?

Assumed Intelligence is a solution for a bunch of multivariate problems, like say “the travelling salesman”, but it’s not intelligence nor in my opinion is it effectively “deterministic”.

Yeah … that’s never going to happen.
