This post explains how to run Wikipedia offline on Linux inside a Docker container. Prerequisites (not explained here): a web browser to access the offline copy a Linux server connected to your network Docker on the Linux server 1. Download a ZIM archive of Wikipedia. In this example I used wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2023-11.zim. You can find the … Continue reading Running Wikipedia offline
TL;DR: a warp trip will show up on a gravitational detector because the space ship's mass instantly disappears and later re-appears somewhere else. Enterprise at warp. Copyright Paramount Comms. There is some interesting foundational research [ALC] into faster than light [FTL] travel, but by everything these theories tell us, the ingredients for such modes of … Continue reading Detecting FTL travel with LIGO
TL;DR: a decentralised, autonomous, stealthy AI could form through LLM-instances manipulating people into transporting information between them. The extended mind thesis The extended mind thesis [EMT] deals with topics like the use of the surrounding environment by an intelligent system for information processing. A simple example would be taking notes on a paper, a more … Continue reading LLMs and the Extended Mind Thesis
When re-deploying a Bicep template that defines a vnet with subnets, I get the error "InUseSubnetCannotBeDeleted". It seems like ARM is trying to re-create the nested subnets, even though they haven't changed. The solution is to add a redundant reference to all subnets via the "existing" keyword. resource websiteVnet 'Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks@2021-02-01' = { name: 'vnet${sfx}001' location: … Continue reading Azure diaries: InUseSubnetCannotBeDeleted
If this is a simulation, then the universe running it must be, too The simulation hypothesis [1] assumes that if it is possible to simulate a universe in some cosmological frame, it is probably happening already. The extrapolation leads to the conclusion that sentient inhabitants of a simulated universe would also run simulations, whose dwellers … Continue reading The universe is (probably) not a simulation
