The Philips bulbs are more general purpose bulbs that would replace your "soft white" 2700K bulbs. I think they dim down to around 2200K. Otherwise, the specs are pretty typical for LED bulbs in terms of color quality, flicker, and dimmability.
Bedtime Bulb v2 starts at 2100K, much warmer, and dims down to 1700K. BBv2 has infrared. The flicker is very low: under 1% at 120 Hz; the best I have seen in any dimmable bulb. It is also designed to dim perfectly with all TRIAC and ELV dimmers (basically, any standard dimmer), which no other LED bulb can claim to do.
Side note: the term "flicker-free" is a total lie, so we stopped using it. I have seen lighting with up to 50% claiming to be flicker-free. Pretty much all lighting has some flicker. The term is just not true.
Sometimes it's about matching the fashion of the group you aspire to be part of, sometimes it's about having that fashion imposed on you so you look "professional".
Security guards at tech company offices are the only ones who wear suits, presumably because it's a mandated uniform, not by choice.
Apocryphal, but someone once told me history of male grooming is an example of this: When only rich people could afford to shave, the fashion among the noble was to have a clean-shaved face to signal status, and poor people had beards. Once safety razors appeared, then the trend reverted.
> On 23 October 2005, Finnix 86.0 was released. Earlier unreleased versions (84, and 85.0 through 85.3) were "Knoppix remasters", with support for Linux LVM and dm-crypt being the main reason for creation. However, 86.0 was a departure from Knoppix, and was derived directly from the Debian "testing" tree.[7]
My reading of this is that early versions of Finnix were based on Knoppix. However, according to the wikipedia sidebars, the initial release of Knoppix was 30 September 2000, while the initial release of Finnix was March 22, 2000. Something something beta/pre-release versions?
> Finnix 0.01 was based on Red Hat Linux 6.0, and was created to help with administration and recovery of other Linux workstations around Finnie's office.[citation needed] The first public release of Finnix was 0.03, and was released in early 2000, based on an updated Red Hat Linux 6.1.
For me as a Japanese language learner, it works fine so long as the text uses enough kanji. I've tried reading some Japanese-language books meant for kids around age 10, and the sentences that have 20 hiragana in a row can be killer. If a sentence uses both grammar you don't know and vocabulary you don't know, then how the heck are you supposed to figure out where each word begins and ends so you can look things up in a dictionary?
E.g. さっきまでは、心ぼそくてなきだしそうなのを、ひっしにこらえていたリナだったが、いまはまいごにまちがえられたことに、はらをたてていた。
With e.g. まちがえられた you could parse it as 間違えられた or 町が得られた and you can only tell the difference through context and intuition, which a learner of the language might lack. Even being able to recognize は and に as particles, rather than parts of the nearby words, requires context and/or guessing.
Kanji makes it a lot easier to figure out where words begin and end. Nouns are often written entirely in kanji, while adjectives and verbs are usually written with kanji at the beginning and hiragana for the parts that are conjugated (the ends, in both cases). A switch from hiragana to kanji usually means a word boundary, while kanji to hiragana can go either way.
> I've tried reading some Japanese-language books meant for kids around age 10...
I’m not sure at what target age kids’ books stop using word spacing, but books for younger children generally use it. Nevertheless, if you are used to seeing words written in kanji, even with word spacing an all-hiragana text can still trip you up, for the reasons you noted.
Side comment: Something I haven’t seen remarked on much is how Japanese can be easier for small children to start reading than English is because of the nearly one-to-one correspondence between character and sound for kana. My two daughters and now my six-year-old grandson have all grown up with Japanese as their first language, and they all started reading hiragana-only children’s books earlier and more easily than I, at least, learned to read English when I was a child. My grandson has also picked up katakana on his own; he is into dinosaurs and his picture books give the names of dinosaurs in katakana.
Generation time is more or less proportional to tokens * model size, so if you can get the same quality result with fewer tokens from the same size of model, then you save time and money.
I use sqlite for my 2-user server and haven't had any issues in the several years I've been running it.
It's possible to corrupt a sqlite database file, but generally it shouldn't happen unless you're doing something weird with it. https://www.sqlite.org/howtocorrupt.html
