The Orange Pi 6 Plus, a board with a CIX P1 SoC, showed promising hardware but struggled with software issues, requiring custom OS images and vendor-specific GPU and NPU userspace. Despite these challenges, the board proved usable for local AI work, with some models and runtimes performing well, but its high power draw and loud fan made it less attractive as a low-traffic always-on appliance.

Dependency cooldowns turn you into a free-rider

https://calpaterson.com/images/photo/snow-house.jpeg
Dependency cooldowns are suddenly in vogue. They have quite quickly become widely recommended and it looks like they're going to get fast-tracked into the basket of "industry standard best practices".

Understanding Clojure's Persistent Vectors, pt. 1 (2013)

https://hypirion.com/sha/a90ab1743d3840abf7251f797e8cc0d0a05e42bdab57c0dfa91d3eac4adcd0e3.png
Clojure's persistent vectors use balanced, ordered trees to achieve O(1) runtime for appends, updates, lookups, and subvec operations while maintaining persistence. The tree structure is shallow due to a high branching factor, allowing for "effectively" constant time modifications and lookups, although technically O(log32 n).

5NF and Database Design

https://kb.databasedesignbook.com/posts/5nf/wikipedia-1.png
The traditional way of teaching fifth normal form (5NF) is confusing and unnecessary, and a more logical approach is to start with business requirements and create a physical table schema using a textbook table design strategy. Two patterns of physical table design follow naturally: the AB-BC-AC triangle and the ABC+D star pattern, both of which are fully normalized and do not require 5NF ...

The US war against Iran has failed to achieve its unclear and shifting objectives, with the Trump administration confusing military means with political goals and mistaking tactical success for victory. The war's lack of a clear strategy and theory of victory has led to a stalemate, with Iran still able to wage war and control trade in the region, and the US facing a difficult path to ...

To get the most out of a gym session, fitness class or a run, do it at the time of day that best suits your own natural internal body clock, say health researchers. Early risers or "larks" should exercise in the morning for maximum benefit, while night owls should train in the evening, they suggest. Synchronising exercise in this way could boost heart gains, especially for people ...
