RSS is no simpler. And in fact when you have to take account the ambiguity of different clients interpreting the sloppy specification differently it just gets more complex. Even th…

At least in the past it was GLM-4.6. IDK if it is ever changed. https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/4276

Scrolling on desktop is also broken.

This seems like a great option for local usage. With 16 GiB of VRAM on the official ( https://huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-S-2.1-GGUF ) Q4_K_M quant (which seems to be recommende…

Wow an LLM hallucinated? What a novel discovery.

See also why houses are often painted when being staged for selling just so that the new purchaser can paint immediately after with their preferred colour. Wasteful but it works.

In minesweeper you start with nothing visible and explore while avoiding the bombs. In this you start with all of the hints visible and place the bombs. However in practice it is v…

Traversing a linked list is terrible for performance. But in cases like the cache you are only poping from the front, appending to the back or removing which are all quite fast and…

.eu is an exception as it is for the European Union but they don't consider themselves a country.

I am not a huge fan of most of these, but a few do seem useful. : "${1:?missing argument, aborting!}" I wouldn't use this because I would want to give $1 a name for the rest of the…

I think a very knowledgeable reviewer can make a decent guess. But to really know you would need to tear it apart and analyze all of the materials used (maybe the metal or plastic …

Not to mention that tying your insurance to your job is a *huge* pain. If you switch jobs or get fired you need to deal with coverage gaps, considering individual coverage for the …

> and advertisements (and even review sites!) almost never address it properly The thing that annoys me the most is when the reviewer opens the box, shakes it gently and says "feel…

While that is true the bigger issue is that LineageOS doesn't qualify for "They do not break the AOSP security model" as it allows users to get root access without modifying the OS…

If anything this distillation is more ethical than the original as it is on machine-generated content rather than copyrighted human-labour products.

I'm strongly in favour of this. I think income tax should approach 100%. So your second billion you still make more. But not twice as much. The exact decay function is up to date. …

The problem isn't that we are gaining more knowledge and better technology. The problem is that we are allowing the rich to use the technology to subjugate the majority. If AI impr…

Dead-man's switch means triggering when something doesn't happen. (The name comes from a switch that an alive operator would need to hold in such a way that if they died they would…

A USB drive with FLAC files works pretty well. It doesn't have the same feel as a CD with art though. For movies there isn't a legal way to acquire proper files unfortunately.

But even that isn't the whole story because the models can produce wildly amount of thinking output as well as regular output for a similar query. Sometimes you can take a cheap mo…

I think 10 t/s output is usable for many coding workflows if the input speed is much much higher (~100 t/s is a rough minimum line). The low output speed can really hurt for heavy …

Because the web browser can't make arbitrary network connections. Even if it was implemented intercepting at the HTTP layer (which would probably be much more difficult than just i…

Yes, I especially see this in code comments. You will get a PR where the comments reference an approach that wasn't the previous state and isn't the state of the PR. You can basica…
