    Changing the port is not the kind of security measure that will consume a lot of the attacker resources

    The news headline is misleading, it does not reflect the actual article title, which is much closer to what they truly did. They did not replaced RAG because they are still using c…

    Not off topics at all. That massive investment must be baked by something with a bigger ROI than just a chatbot.

    The same day, a post on reddit was about: "We built 3B and 8B models that rival GPT-5 at HTML extraction while costing 40-80x less - fully open source" [1]. Not fully equivalent to…

    XSLT/XPath have evolved since XSLT 1.0. Features are now available like key (index) to greatly speedup the processing. Good XSLT implementation like Saxon definitively helps as wel…

    Appreciate your input, but if you haven’t actually tested the VSCode integration, it’s hard to compare. Reading a feature list isn’t the same as using the tool.

    Not comparable. I did test VSCode and IntelliJ on agentic, MCP, and IntelliJ is for the moment far behind.

    Is your affirmation based on a testing of both plugin? I'm genuily wondering the plugin quality as IntelliJ plugin is still in beta and the VScode one not

    In addition the graph "Massive VRAM Savings" graph states what looks like a tautology, reducing from 16 bits to 4 bits leads unsurprisingly to a x4 reduction in memory usage

    It seems quite logical to me as well. An LLM is not a logical computing system but it has the knowledge on how to do a multiplication
