They're not a particularly fast card compared to something like a 5070, they have lots of VRAM. That's why they were cheap before. Also "Some stupid game", who woke up and made you…

"give them difficult tasks beyond your own intellect?" Lol no, I've yet to find a model with those properties. Sounds like a fast track to AI psychosis. The domain I work in doesn'…

I've owned this GPU for 5 years already, it's fine

I'm using the qwen cli tool with a duckduckgo search skill that I made Claude write. It's like bootstrapping I guess Once it can search for factual information online the smaller m…

I get about 35-40tok/sec on a 3090. It's actually about the same speed when accounting for how much more responsive my system is to Anthropic's saas infrastructure

I'm finding qwen 27b is comparable to sonnet but my self hosting has about 5 more 9s than whatever Anthropic's vibe coding. I also don't have to worry about the quality of the mode…

The soundtracks for SimCity 3000, 4, and the 5th one titled just "SimCity" are written specifically to be played while doing some fiddly micromanagement tasks.

Cool now use the reference on another thread.

No because as far as we know 26.04 won't enable zswap or zram whereas Windows and MacOS both have memory compression technology of some sort. So Ubuntu will use significantly more …

I had a memory management problem so I introduced GC/ref counting and now I have a non-deterministic memory management problem.

Sure but what did those guys do all day? 400 people is a lot of people

Even at 100k employees I’m still dumbfounded by that number. What do all these people do all day?

It's really funny that after going through all those fonts it landed on Ubuntu Mono for me which is what I use anyways to code in my terminal. I wonder if it's Stockholm syndrome o…

> The Chinese models are open source because they are not state of the art I think geohot is burying the lead in this text in his post with a lot of speculation. It's not not that …

Because that's probably how long it took for someone to prioritize it. Even if it's not fixed by the dupe ticket, the volume of bug reports makes it almost certain another ticket f…

You don’t hear back because almost always your bug is a duplicate of some other one. They can’t share the original with you because it contains data from another customer or from i…

Yes I understand that. ~50000 engineers aren't conspiring to close all tickets that way. It's a stupid line of thinking. More than likely your steps to reproduce are too laborious …

That the ~50000 engineers at Apple are conspiring to close your tickets in the exact same way. It's ridiculous

[flagged]

Back when I worked at Apple I would just try it in whatever I had installed. If it didn't reproduce I'd write "Cannot reproduce in 10.x.x" and close it. Maybe a third were like tha…

Would be nice if zswap could be configured to have no backing cache so it could completely replace zram. Having two slightly different systems is weird. There's not really any diff…

The article says it starts to repeat after a few days but with flash memory prices being what they are couldn’t they have loaded something like a hundred thousand little voice clip…

It didn't seem to make the news but at least in NYC the entire Amazon storefront was broken all afternoon on Friday. Items weren't displaying prices and it was impossible to add an…

Because it's not a Mac even though the chipset is the same, there's no XCode and whatnot.
