Christof Damian 💙💛Dear Lazyweb!I plan to go on a cycling holiday on the long weekend this week. I can't decide where to go 🙂 Someone help me choose! - Andorra - I have been before, lots of climbs, some annoying drivers, good food and shopping - Puigcerda - easy access to some routes into France. I also been before, but only with others - La Seu d'Urgell - just driven through so far, maybe new hills? Any help appreciated.

Shaula EvansHey, short film fans!

szakibHey Fedi!I need to convert a 4TB RAID array. I will move the data off it and then back. Currently it's NTFS (and Windows). When I'm done, it will be LVM+EXT4 (and Linux).Does the file system of the intermediate storage make any difference to the speed or otherwise? If yes, what would be best? (I might hit the 4GB file size limit on FAT32.)Also, is this best done by copying files, or would it be faster (probably not safer) to manipulate the existing partition?<a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/AskFedi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AskFedi</a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/LazyWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LazyWeb</a> <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/Storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Storage</a>

szakibHey Fedi!What's this thing on the high-voltage line? There are sections where there is plus one wire for maybe 20m, separated with glass beads from the main one, and it ends with a tube that looks kinda like a fuse. (Edit: under the big red ball.)My guess is some kind of sensor or safety device.

Álex SáezThis is an absolute honest question. There is a lot to hate about the LLMs (mostly business around the training and the general purpose LLMs) but I honestly would like to hear also the positive side of them.

Tanguy FardetI just discovered the ARC-AGI initiative and the associated test to estimate how close "AI" models are from <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/AGI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AGI</a><a href="https://arcprize.org/arc-agi" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://arcprize.org/arc-agi</a>While I found the initiative interesting, I'm not sure I understand what in this test really guarantees that the model is capable of some form of generalization and problem-solving.

Cosmic Meow Backgroundhey <a href="https://cathode.church/tags/lazyweb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lazyweb</a>, does anyone have experience with SSR photo relays? I'm thinking about using some for (near) DC signal switching instead of latching relays for cost reasons. or maybe there's an option I'm not thinking about? I've also thought about high voltage capable silicon muxes, but those are also expensive... basically all I need is a cheap, high-side gate driver capable of driving the gate to 15V from a single 5V source, but gate drivers with integrated charge pumps also seem rather expensive. it's tradeoffs all the way down.
