In this case a mathematician called Kevin Hayes Wilson seems to be behind these lexicon entries. As observed, they are only submitted via his PDS, these lexicons are not official US government ones. Sadly the UFO tool does not show this. PDSls does.

But the nexus of power remains: All data has to pass through the app, and the app must get granted (more or less) full access to the PDS. Example of 3rd party atproto app requesting access:

Note

Hitting the PDS Upload Limit

This led to a side quest where I found out that my PDS was still set to the original 50 MB upload limit, but the mushroom PDS raised this to 100 MB and 3-minute length for videos a while after I set up the PDS. The solution for this problem is changing the following line in the /pds/pds.env file on the PDS server:

PDS_BLOB_UPLOAD_LIMIT=104857600

Don't forget to restart the PDS afterward (reboot or systemctl restart pds).

DGX Spark appears to be maxing out at only 100 watts power draw, less than half of the rated 240 watts, and it only seems to be delivering about half the quoted performance (assuming 1 PF sparse FP4 = 125 TF dense BF16) . It gets quite hot even at this level, and I saw a report of spontaneous rebooting on a long run, so was it de-rated before launch?

The Last Starfighter (1984) I loved this movie as a kid.

Movie poster for The Last Starfighter. A young man stands against a starry cosmic background with planets and rings behind him. He looks upward with determination, holding a flight suit and a space helmet. Text reads: “Alex Rogan was a small-town boy with big-time dreams. But in his wildest dreams, he never suspected that tonight he would become The Last Starfighter.” Title at the bottom: The Last Starfighter. Cast and credits are listed below, including Lance Guest, Dan O’Herlihy, Catherine Mary Stewart, and Robert Preston.

A comic shows a software update notice: "Changes in Version 10.17: The CPU no longer overheats when you hold down spacebar." In the comments, a user complains: "This update broke my workflow! My control key is hard to reach, so I hold spacebar instead, and I configured Emacs to interpret a rapid temperature rise as 'Control'." The admin replies: "That's horrifying." The user responds: "Look, my setup works for me. Just add an option to reenable spacebar heating." Caption below: "Every change breaks someone’s workflow."
