The acronym is new to me: Facebook, Anthropic, Google, openAi?

About 20 years ago I learned if I took my laptop to class and typed my notes I didn't retain nearly as well as if I took a pen and notebook. I was in computer science in Canada and…

I suppose in most industries, but in others a bug in a computer programming has more serious consequences. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25 comes to mind. Many of the really…

The problem may be that it's a 7800XT which handles memory contention by freezing.

I have 32GB of RAM with 16GB VRAM and I haven't had a lot of luck running larger models like this. Are you able to expand on that?

There are certainly rats in Hamilton and Toronto; and I had the misfortune of dealing with them in my home at one point. They ate through (or under) the crawl space, and they would…

It reads like affine types to me https://panzerschrek.github.io/U-00DC-Sprache-site/docs/en/r... They borrowed heavily from Rust here.

I wondered if innoextract was Linux only, but I see there is a homebrew formula. https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/innoextract Is the author reading hackernews?

It's the most common sports related head injury by a wide margin and helmets are quite effective at injury reduction.[1] As a public health policy it makes a lot of sense. Anecdota…

I grew up in Orillia, but my siblings and I all moved to your city. At the time it was just the closest to Toronto I could afford because all jobs are in Toronto. This city has gro…

Toronto still has a Pet User Group (TPUG) which runs the World of Commodore conference every year. https://www.tpug.ca/ It might be the closest thing remaining; though unfortunatel…

I don't have the evidence to say either way, but I do know that at least my city has a lot of cellphone repair businesses, including mall kiosks. Presumably they have enough client…

Are you able to run any of the old Loki games on Linux these days?

CorsixTH requires Theme Hospital assets but we didn't clone or otherwise steal anything that we ship, we require you to supply the assets precisely because we aren't. I presume tha…

Super Tux Kart does have battle mode somewhat similar to the Mario Kart balloon fight though not as polished (and many of the arenas are a little too large in my opinion). It also …

Pythagoras learned from Egyptians that have been largely erased by euro/western narratives of superiority.

Even glibc breaks ABI. The linux userspace ABI is too unstable and games don't have to be doing weird things to hit it.

Most of human history we didn't have electronic distraction devices and we have one Michelangelo; the answer is probably not as many as the question implies.

I suspect they would put out a GOG Galaxy that works on Linux well before promoting it on their web site that aggressively.

lua does not preserve compatibility between minor versions. As such they don't need to reserve words for future use.

I have a question. Does the directed / no cycles aspect mean that webhooks / callbacks are forbidden. I work a lot in the messaging space (SMS,Email); typically the client wants to…

I have strong Tawney Scrawny Lion and Un loup dans le potager vibes from this commercial. Delightful.

It sounded like they were encouraging dnsmasq for home use. I migrated to that successfully. My DHCPv6 is working flawlessly now whereas I was never able to get it running smoothly…

Turns out Linux needed a stable abi for games and Wine provided.

Sure, t2bot and OOYE discord bridges have told us they are not yet compatible and still months away. The appservice-irc bridge has this issue which is more of a question: https://g…
