В Финляндии предупредили об опасном шаге ЕС против России09:28
This month, OpenAI announced their Codex app and my coworkers were asking questions. So I downloaded it, and as a test case for the GPT-5.2-Codex (high) model, I asked it to reimplement the UMAP algorithm in Rust. UMAP is a dimensionality reduction technique that can take in a high-dimensional matrix of data and simultaneously cluster and visualize data in lower dimensions. However, it is a very computationally-intensive algorithm and the only tool that can do it quickly is NVIDIA’s cuML which requires CUDA dependency hell. If I can create a UMAP package in Rust that’s superfast with minimal dependencies, that is an massive productivity gain for the type of work I do and can enable fun applications if fast enough.
I’ve been planning for some time to send a server to a datacenter to be free to announce my own IPs via BGP. The choice of OS running on this server is important, and I think that with Bootc + OSTree, I have a solution that suits me perfectly (because if I ever lock up the machine during an update, a simple reboot will restore it to a consistent state).
