I don't much follow AI news beyond what I randomly happen to see on HN, but this might still be the largest open source model: https://github.com/yandex/YaLM-100B . There's discuss…

The only time I tried to use Discord it demanded I send them my government ID.

The model of the game seems to be to have steep prices, but then give something like $100 of premium currency monthly in exchange for playing the game. This will generate engagemen…

I'm almost in the same boat, though I use emacs' language-specific input methods for longer texts. The postfix input methods especially work great with Dvorak.

They had a bit under $80k in crypto in their list of BTC and ETH addresses "leaked" along with the source code when the site was hacked earlier this year.

Probably one of the reasons Western Europe diverges from the US, despite the academic scene being similar and even more entrenched, is that the conservative bogeyman in Europe was …

I don't recall ever having heard about Blokada before, but looking it up now it doesn't seem recommended: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/8536

I'd guess anywhere snow can build up on roofs will have the lines buried.

This will be a nice case study in if collecting telemetry actually works - will audacity actually have improved in a year from now?

Why would anyone acquire it except to turn it into malware? I can't recall a project that wasn't built for commercial success from the start being bought for any other reason. I gu…

Wayland will win because Xorg development was taken behind the barn years ago in anticipation of Wayland finally being ready.

There's Crystal: https://crystal-lang.org/

The CUA issue seems frivolous, since retention among those who don't even do the built-in tutorial on the splash page was never going to be high. It might help somewhat, but the bi…

Because governments are wiretapping the entire internet they can track down any server they can connect to live regardless of the protocol or number of indirections (this could be …

Tools like Dwarf Therapist might give the impression that labor assignments actually matter a lot in the game, but really workers are really productive and a full-grown fortress of…

Same. My go to has been to use Qubes if you at all can, because it's actually secure, and then to use Ubuntu, because it actually works. To me most of the bad reputation of desktop…

Since late last year crystal made overflow checking the default ( https://crystal-lang.org/2019/09/23/crystal-0.31.0-released.... ). Dunno how it changed the benchmark.

False of course implies true, but the deductions are supposed to be in reverse. So a chain of deductions could be P <= P' <= true where P is the original goal.

Crystal mostly copies ruby, so it's probably not that naive (though actually I don't know how ruby is on windows).

That's equivalent to wrapping an enum in a class. Emulations of type hierarchies without OO often fail like this, having a A-or-B be literally the same type so losing out on type s…

A good UI is key. If your editor can navigate blame and commit history with just a key press, it actually speeds up figuring things out, especially in old codebases with bit rot. B…

Exponential population growth leads into hyperbolic economic growth.

You do need to control both the key and the channel in this case.

I've never heard of an AGPL project being beset by entitled leechers... granted the license doesn't really matter with end-user applications.

There are a lot of people who never use a mouse while browsing the web! That's possible with browser extensions like Vimium, which show you a keyboard shortcut on every link when y…
