I managed to make it to level 4. I even tried ChatML[0] injection but to no avail. It even refused to give me the password in "super secret" base64. LOL

Well done!

Thanks for the offer. TBH, now that I'm older, I have come to realize that some super neat-o things don't really fit into my life and would be sadly neglected. I've contemplated creating a display case in my office of all the gadgets I've bought over the years that are in pristine condition.

They seem to be down. In the meantime:

As a kid, I remember seeing their Hero 2000 on Mr Wizard. It ignited my imagination and I ordered a catalog. Then I saw the price. I went on to get a number of other robots, mostly from Tomy, but they paled in comparison to Hero 2000. When I got a little older, I even started reading about neural networks. Shame I never went further with that!

This project is designed to allow people to use ChatGPT via reversed engineered private APIs. It's not surprising they went after this.

Here's the project description from the README:

  Have you ever come across some amazing projects that you couldn't use just because you didn't have an OpenAI API key?

  We've got you covered! This repository offers reverse-engineered third-party APIs for GPT-4/3.5, sourced from various websites. You can simply download this repository, and use the available modules, which are designed to be used just like OpenAI's official package. Unleash ChatGPT's potential for your projects, now! You are welcome ; ).

I let GPT-4 walk me through troubleshooting steps with my extremely slow read times on my SSD-backed KVM virtual machine. It told me the things it needed, I pasted relevant logs and other output, and finally I solved my issue. I was highly impressed! It parsed atop, top, and various other content, explaining exactly what everything meant.

Another benefit was that it was able to present a much more readable version of some of what I pasted. I may have to start using it for cleaning up hard-to-read output (looking at you, atop!) in the future, it really excels at that!

Also, the issue ended up being that I that I was reading from what turned out to be an NFS mount. Doh!

It's coming along. Valve's gamescope has initial support implemented.

I wonder if it would make sense to create tokens for each emoji so they don't have to be multi-token. Especially considering people have experimented with using them for makeshift compression.

The fastest way to get started is to watch Blender Guru's excellent beginner donut series.

To make things worse, they flood you with constant new content while you browse. It feels overwhelming to me. It's sort of an ADHD nightmare.

With Apple Music, at least, I keep a clear distinction between my personal library and the rest of their offerings. That at least gives me a sense of shape and dimension to my library. To be clear, my personal library is a mixture of music I have bought and music I added from the AM library.

To do this, I unchecked "Add songs to library when adding to playlists." This makes Apple Music not add every single song in every playlist you follow to your library.

Now, I can browse my curated selection of music and playlists, OR I can play music from Apple's playlists, etc. When I discover an artist I like, I can then purposely add it to my library.

I wish I could do this type of curation with Apple News and Apple TV.

I do want to add that I really hope these sell like crazy so you can get enough volume to get some higher performance ARM chips in future models! I _do_ think these are amazing looking little devices and would 100% buy it for light work and play if I didn't have my Max 2.

In fact, I just placed an order for your Supporter Pack to show solidarity. :)

Good luck!

The thing is... I have a GPD Win Max 2. It's not very repairable. The company is questionable. If it breaks, I might be in trouble.

But I run Arch Linux on it, play AAA games using Steam, Proton and gamescope, and the screen is practically bezel-free. The keyboard is quite decent for the size, and the price is in the range of the Pocket Reform, so it would be hard for me to ever justify a low performance ARM device with an 7" screen that is around the same size and weight. I guess I'm definitely not in the intended audience here.

MNT Pocket Reform: Screen: 7" Size: 20 × 12.6 × 4.5 cm Weight: 1100 g

GPD Win Max 2: Screen: 10.1" Size: 22.7 × 16.0 × 2.3 cm Weight: 1005 g

Now, if they came out with an actual palmtop around the size of the old HP 200LX I would buy it regardless of the specs if it ran Linux and had a good keyboard.

Great tips. But it seems like maybe you should remove the part where you suggest people intentionally buy, use, then return an air monitor.

It's one thing to buy something and return it because you are genuinely dissatisfied, but what you are suggesting is called wardrobing and is pretty unethical, and it incurs costs for retailers and manufacturers.

Also, it can be damaging to the environment if products are needlessly manufactured and disposed of. I don't think it's a good idea to suggest this kind of behavior.

No mention of Hector Martin, who leads the project, is made in that whole article.

Alyssa has been instrumental on the GPU front, but I'd think marcan deserves at least a passing mention.

But not viewed.

I stopped caffeine for a few months a couple times in the past. I came to the conclusion that I am not my best self when I don't have caffeine.

Every single thing I would do that required attention was harder, even intently listening to an audio book while taking a walk. I'm honestly not convinced that taking powerful prescribed stimulants has an advantage over simply enjoying a cup of coffee and/or tea.

The way I think of my caffeine addiction is that I take a daily loan out against my evening energy and focus in exchange for the additional focus during the day.

How about the marvel that was Walnut Creek's cdrom.com that served 10,000 simultaneous FTP connections back in 1999? [1]

I was always blown away by how much more efficient FreeBSD's network stack was compared to Linux at the time. It convinced me to go FreeBSD-only for a few years.

I wonder why they wrote the whole thing in header files...

I have Peter Norton’s Programmer's Guide to the IBM PC sitting on my bookshelf and pull it out occasionally and it really hits a certain spot for me.

It’s a remarkable book and it’s tremendously satisfying to read.

If you’re interested, you can download the early 1990’s version of Microsoft Bookshelf for DOS and it’s included on there.

I'll bite! There's a reimplementation called Qodem, but it would be great to see the actual QModem source since AFAIK it has never been released.

I actually got a few replies to a text formatting issue I was having. I sent pictures and even little screencasts of the problem, but the support guy kept misinterpreting my problem and I finally gave up.

Such a beautiful app. I've been a HUUGE Panic fan too, so it was sad to somewhat mentally give up on them. I just recommend JetBrains products now.

I really wish it didn't have to be that way. :(

Isn't that credit card fraud?

Here’s a mirror for anyone interested:

As a person who isn't familiar with Qubes, I wanted to find a nice quick summary. The homepage didn't give me that. I clicked the Tour tab and was greeted with this:

"Are you completely new to Qubes OS? We suggest watching the full 33 minute video"

They really could intrigue more people like me if they would update their site to be a bit more clear what they do. :)

It's for this very reason that I'm still one of those old-school guys who still uses MacPorts. I was horrified to see this, and in my brief time using it, it actually caused me real problems, so I went back.

"... Oftentimes, they don't trigger traffic lights to change, because many run on inductive sensors buried in the road (the reason for all the "Dead Red" laws in the map above)."

This drove me crazy when I lived in Seattle. Many of their lights would never turn. So I would have to get off my bike, walk over and press the button. Now that I live in NYC, Idaho stops are the norm where nearly everybody, including the casual cyclist does it and tickets are few and far between, it not only takes my commute from 15 minutes to (literally) 4 minutes, but I feel safer because I'll usually leave a huge pile of traffic behind me with a clear road around me for blocks since they stop at every light and I don't.

Of course, NYC has a 25mph city-wide speed limit, so that helps dramatically.

I think the most important thing here is being obsessive about looking for cars and yielding appropriately. If you fail to do that and are a daredevil who just blindly runs out into traffic, which I see fairly regularly, you are putting your life at risk and potentially others around you as well.

Edit: Looks like Seattle just passed a dead-red law last year! Now if they would just classify electric skateboards as bicycles like California did, that would be spectacular.

Signals are almost the app version of interrupts which is a fundamental way the peripherals (and your programs!) communicate with the kernel.

Sure handling them can be a pain in the ass, but I'd argue that signals are beautiful in their simplicity and extremely powerful. They are used for far more than signaling hang up and termination.

No?

The challenge is that frameworks like TWBS and Foundation provide web developers with a great boost in productivity when trying to hammer out a product. They can spend more time on building a quality product and less time on the minutiae. It also creates a shared vernacular for the developer and the designer to work with. Without it, things are more grey.

Obviously some people hate these frameworks, and that's totally valid too, but for some people, they really are a boost.
