All the "Thanks for watching!" gave me a good chuckle. Remind me of one of my own experiences with one of the Whisper model, where some random noise in the middle of the conversati…

Here is a relevant tidbit from the RWKV paper "Limitations" section ( https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.13048 ): First, the linear attention of RWKV leads to significant efficiency gains …

For me it was worked relatively well. I track my config in a git repo, and doom-emacs is rather helpful on what external tools must be installed for various configuration "layers" …

emacs "gui" perfectly supports the mouse out of the box. For use in a terminal (after using both for some time, I find the gui version better tbh), see https://www.gnu.org/software…

Sorry, to clarify: I used the package `emacs-next` from guix to install emacs 28. You still need to install and configure emacs-lsp along with the LSP backend(s) you want to use. I…

I have been testing Emacs 28 for a few weeks now, as it was reported to improve performance on LSP integration (which was sometimes sluggish for me with rust). I have to say I wasn…

Don't think out of the box, but https://github.com/emacs-lsp/lsp-mode works rather well with emacs 28 from my experience. Emacs "distros" such as Spacemacs and Doomemacs both make …

Yeah emacs was a revelation for me on this regard, that the idea of "Free Software" could be more than just providing souce code and license. Emacs is actually explicitly designed …

Or that they used VC money to outcompete companies using artificially low prices, and then raised the prices to make some profit once they got a hold on the market

The GPL prevents it actually (I made a sibling comment with some details)

> you'd need to prevent the people you're granting the license to from changing it in derivative works No you don't need to. People cannot change the license of code they don't own…

For emacs users, there are some modes with similar functionalities (as expected from emacs!): picture-mode and artist-mode See for example http://xahlee.info/emacs/emacs/emacs_asci…

Aren't you worried about increasing the attack surface a lot for a machine directly accessible on the Internet? I'm neither a network nor a security expert, but I would have though…

> cat test.py import sys if sys.version_info.major = 3") print(f"test") > python2 test.py File "test.py", line 5 print(f"test") ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Doesn't seem that simp…

Not sure if it's the one you were thinking about, but there is a similar passage in the Slate Star Codex article "Neutral vs. Conservative: The Eternal Struggle" https://slatestarc…

Not a perfect test, but you can try for yourself on https://www.whichfaceisreal.com/ if you're curious (the tells for generated images on this one are quite obvious when you know w…

Thanks for the article! I think it's even worse actually, because this is not something that needs to be done explicitly or on purpose. Simply training AIs with a target goal of ma…

I find the article and your comment strongly resonate with a comment I made some time ago on an article about GAN-generated faces: > I guess very soon we will be able to generate "…

Good point. I don't use it on mobile (I sync things between my personal and professional computer mostly) so I can't comment much on this aspect. Joplin seems very nice indeed! But…

Not sure if that is what you are asking, but Zotero has plugins for saving web page directly from the browser: https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors I use it extensively with …

It definitely does not solve all the issues listed in the article, but for me Zotero https://www.zotero.org has been absolutely brilliant as a "digital content organizer". While it…

Sure you can indeed. For me the compactness of the rpi was a plus however. Since you don't need a dedicated screen or a keyboard (recalbox interface is tailored for controllers), h…

If you're looking for a fun use for your shelved rpi, I can recommand installing a retro-gaming distro such as recalbox ( https://www.recalbox.com/ ) or retropie ( https://retropie…

The definition of "best" is often subjective and may boil down to familiarity. On the other hand, betting on open-source tooling may be a good way to increase the chances that your…
