Welcome to post 49 in the R4 series. The Two Cultures is a term first used by C.P. Snow in a 1959 speech and monograph focused on the split between humanities and the sciences. Decades later, the term was (quite famously) re-used by Leo Breiman in a (somewhat prophetic) 2001 article about the split between ‘data mod...

I saw this document on running DeepSeek R1 [1] and decided to give it a go. I downloaded the llama.cpp source and compiled it and downloaded the 131G of data as described. Running it with the default options gave about 7 CPU cores in use. Changing the --threads parameter to 44 caused it to use 17 CPU cores (changing...

I have bought myself an expensive ARM64 workstation, the System 76 Thelio Astra that I intend to use as my main desktop computer for the next 15 years, running Debian. The box is basically a server motherboard repurposed in a good desktop chassis. In Europe it seems you can order similar ready systems here. The hard...

Have you ever found yourself in the situation where you had no or anonymized logs and still wanted to figure out where your traffic was coming from? Or you have multiple upstreams and are looking to see if you can save fees by getting into peering agreements with some other party? Or your site is getting heavy load ...

Marco wrote a blog post opposing hyperscale systems which included “We want to use an hyperscaler cloud because our developers do not want to operate a scalable and redundant database just means that you need to hire competent developers and/or system administrators.” [1].

I just read an interesting blog post about ML security recommended by Bruce Schneier [1]. This approach of having 2 AI systems where one processes user input and the second performs actions on quarantined data is good and solves some real problems. But I think the bigger issue is the need to do this. Why not have a ...

I've been working on a multi-label email classification model. It's been a frustrating slog, fraught with challenges, including a lack of training data. Labeling emails is labor-intensive and error-prone. Also, I habitually delete certain classes of email immediately after its usefulness has been reduced. I use a CR...

I’ve just got a second hand Nissan LEAF. It’s not nearly as luxurious as the Genesis EV that I test drove [1]. It’s also just over 5 years old so it’s not as slick as the MG4 I test drove [2]. But the going rate for a LEAF of that age is $17,000 vs $35,000 or more for a new MG4 or $130,000+ for...
