    It's a 3 bit quant of Llama3-8B. I'm sure there are use-cases for that, but it's useless when it comes to tool calls or coding and I wouldn't trust it's factual accuracy either.

    From the flatpak docs: > A given branch of the Freedesktop runtime has a 2 year support period after which they are declared EOL.

    You're right, I must have gotten that mixed up. Sorry. I guess floats are still mostly deterministic if you use the exact same machine code on every PC.

    You don't need to tun the whole game at a fixed framerate, only the physics. That's actually common practice. The bigger problem is that floating point math isn't deterministic. So…

    Nim compiles to C, and it has a compiler iotion that does this.

    Both of those flavors are based on the CommonMark spec. There's just some extra features and some forbidden html.

    Choosing names like `App`, `ok` or `get` in a language without namespaces is a bold choice.

    JSON 5 is pretty good. It just needs to make the top-level brace and all commas optional, and add proper support for multi-line strings (writing '/n/' at the end of every line does…

    I think the problems with big network were diminishing gradients, which is why we now use the ReLU activation function, and training stability, which were solved with residual conn…

    It does work on mobile,but the instructions are cut off. And it doesn't play like normal solitaire. You can move any card, no matter what's on top of it. That makes it much easier.…

    I find json5 much better than json, but it has still many of the same annoyances. - instead of trailing commas, how about making them completely optional? It's not like they are ne…

    At the very least, division by zero should not be undefined for floats.

    Shouldn't it be `round(x/5)*5` ?

    JSON?? I don't want to programm anything without comments. I guess you can easily convert from use yaml or json5, but all the examples are still in json.

    AFAIK a steam ban in this case just means that you can't buy stuff or activate keys anymore. You should still be able to play previously purchased games.

    You can still make stuff that runs from the boot sector. You just won't have access to fancy graphics drivers. I found this: https://github.com/nanochess/RayTracer

    Child porn is already heavily "regulated". Producing the stuff is illegal and AI service providers must take steps to prevent it.

    How useful is such a feature in reality? On smaller devices, the web brower almost always covers the whole screen, and even on big monitors, it usually touches at least one corner.…

    You mean searching for keys? $..book[?@.price Yeah, I don't think javascript has that function in the standard library. Writing one is not super complicated, but having to put that…

    JSON Path: $.store.book[?@.price Python: [x['title'] for x in data['store']['book'] if x['price'] Javascript: data.store.book.filter(x=>x.price x.title)

    Someone did actually create a scripting language specifically designed to work with rust: https://rhai.rs/

    I use the binary package because Ubuntu only provides a Snap, and that lacked some permissions I wanted (reading installed html docs).
