LLM-s are definitely not intelligent. The market is definitely irrational. The hype is insane.

It is not about memory safety or anything like that. It is about simplicity. If you say "you can't do x with y in C++" you will get an "yes you can, you just use asd::dsadasd::asda…

In my experience the hardware requirements are whatever the file size is + a bit more. Cpu works, gpu is a lot faster but needs VRAM. Was playing with them some more yesterday. Fou…

When i think of "desktop integration", i think about drag and drop not working between `ark` (a QT program) and `thunar` (a GTK program), and i think of folk writing blog posts abo…

I never said it doesn't work. And yes, i do have "anything substantive" against it. The fact that, as i mentioned, it is just a package manager. And a bad one. > From what I have s…

Desktops integrate poorly with desktops.

I recommend just shipping everything you need with your app, either manually or using AppImage. Flatpack is, more or less, just a bad package management.. technology.

It says 72% efficiency, so over 400W of heat at full load. Inverter to a normal PSU would be about the same, if not worse. It could be that it raises the voltage then drops it back…

That's cool. I truly wish you all the best in your future :).

May I ask what you developed in the kernel ?

"Hacker" "News" (It's a somewhat obscure reference)

Thief the dark project supports HRTF through OpenAL Soft[0]. Head related transfer function is the.. modeling of how sound waves bounce of your body (shoulders, ears, breast). And …

Good headphones. Even without HRTF they are worth it.

Looks janky (the whole thing is shaking a lot every time it moves, especially the sensors). If it's cheap, it's good.

This forum.

Too many cpu companies are USA-ian.

Like all machines, they will fail. Picking up trash in space is harder then fixing what we did to the environment, even if it impacts us less. Laying down optics is a much better s…

Well, it seems to work fine (xorg.conf tearfree option, that is). AFAIK wayland compositing also has the problem that clients don't know when they should be done with rendering, as…

Screen tearing under X11 is more or less not a problem anymore. HIDPI, yes, but only for multiple monitors (maybe even just programs that don't support it properly ?). Security... …

Electrons are.. we don't really know what they are. What we do know is that they have a "charge" around them, an "electric potential", and that they repel each other. "Electricity"…

It would solve the needless IPC, cache trashing, priority scheduling (since it becomes a kernel thread, instead of a userspace thread), and other busywork.

Resampling in userspace and then sending it to the kernel is how it already works.. in ALSA. The only real problem with how ALSA does things is that you can't just switch the outpu…

That's how i write assembly. Extra newline between each small block, and two between every major block.

Room 641A is a similar thing.

We can lower the fossil fuel consumption by writing more efficient software, in a more efficient programming language like C. It gets less processed as well. Don't have an idea for…
