I miss the days when my Linux desktop looked like the cover art of a Fear Factory album.

What do you mean by the use of the triple parentheses?

Anthropic and OpenAI aren't the only ways to use LLMs. There are plenty of LLMs where you can download the weights and run them locally. There are even others that you can train yourself (see the LLM360 family).

I remember this was also used by SN Systems (Sony at the time) as the frontend in their C++ compiler for systems like the PS Vita and PS3.

I think it's probably irrelevant in this age of Clang a) existing and b) being everywhere but it still feels like the end of an era.

I have an X230 which was upgraded with a quad-core CPU (i7-3612qe), 16gb RAM, SSD, and 1080p screen, and it makes a pretty decent around-the-house laptop. I'd rate it pretty highly; it's not quite as fast as my 6th gen X1 Carbon but the X1 is starting to get quite flaky.

How much fraud happens because of mail-in or early voting?

Also as the Hawker Siddley (later BAe) Nimrod maritime surveillance aircraft.

It’s like saying “I no longer read or write assembly”; you are still solving problems but you are able to work in a higher level space to do it.

But the people collecting the money have.

If only fucking Zoominfo would integrate with these whitelists.

Canada has a national do-not-call list and that hasn't stopped me from getting hit multiple times a week by startup sales reps.

I have depression, clinically treated with SSRIs. My exercise regimen now is 8-10 hours a week of swimming, cycling, and running. I find that the exercise helps lift my mood a lot, but also if I lose my ability to exercise it is far less catastropic to my mental health than if I stop taking the SSRIs.

My exercise volume varies throughout the year because of physical health concerns (sickness, injury, combination of the two), and I notice it and will become mopey, but it's far from the crippling anxiety and depression that sets in if I miss my SSRIs for a few days.

But this is just anecdata, treat accordingly.

>Regardless, it had always seemed pretty clear to me that it was never about efficiency anyway.

Nope, it was about looting the government's data and delivering retribution to perceived enemies (ie: USAID).

Care to explain?

Because in C everything is unsafe, by definition.

What a complete own goal. I wouldn't want to have anything to do with Zig if there's a chance the head of the ZSF writes a blog that contains a substantial portion of unsubstantiated, unattributed personal attacks directed toward me.

Maybe Jarred wasn't easy to work with, but that doesn't mean that it's a good idea to publicly air all the dirty laundry. He at least seemed to have his heart in the right place by donating a substantial amount to the project.

I am absolutely gutted. I remember reading the id Software .plan updates as they were made. I was a bit too young to follow Quake development, but the insiders view of Quake 2 and Quake 3 Arena was incredible to see happen.

And, yeah, I know that it was the id Tech team that was affected and not all of id Software, but it was the engine development that got me hooked.

Time, money, and size.

Government procurement takes a lot of time to see through to completion; Palantir is not a new company, they're over 20 years old now. To succeed you also need money for lobbyists; regardless of what you feel of them they are a necessary part of the system. Also at the government level, especially at the level of federal governments, you are competing with Oracle, IBM, and other similarly large companies which is difficult to do if you are a new, small company.

Because govtech is notoriously difficult to break in to.

Who did they say no to?

They don’t need to “officially support” Rust in order to ship code written with Rust. Just target the applicable architecture and ABI. It’s a lot easier now that the ABI’s are mostly standard now too.

Source: I wrote a compiler and runtime that ran .NET code (AoT compiled with LLVM) on PS3/Xbox360/Wii and shipped a few games with it.

Allow me to reword, using 'kfreds phrasing.

"Mullvad is weighing in on politics unrelated to its privacy mission because money given to Mullvad is eventually ending up in the hands of Örebropartiet by way of Daniel directing his compensation into his donations."

There, better?

The crux of what I'm saying is that if you give money to Mullvad you are giving money to Örebropartiet, and that's unchanged by the first part of the statement.

You can say Mullvad is apolitical all you want but the problem is money paid to Mullvad is eventually ending up in the hands of Örebropartiet by way of Daniel directing his compensation into his donations.

>In a podcast segment about immigration and deportations Allard stated his opinion and said that "They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish." [54]

Ignorant, yes, but not fascist.

I have to say it is interesting to watch anti-LLM sentiments approach the same religious fervour as pro-LLM sentiments. No grey, no nuance, no compromise, regardless of what the facts of the matter are.

Do you consider everything generated by an LLM to be slop, regardless of the quality of the work?

We’ll see; reports are that he was caught green-handed.

It's only notable now because of how safe aircraft are now and how rare these incidents are. Like, of the 116 B-58 Hustlers built, 24 were lost in crashes. Over 200 B-47's were lost during its service life, killing 464 crew members.

This is the first B-52 crash in almost 20 years.

But if you keep looking past the prairies you’ll find another province, one that also has invested heavily in hydroelectric power.
