Probably going to take a 1-3 days for support to land in llama.cpp and vllm.

Waiting for llama.cpp support to land, but this might be a big deal for Strix Halo users. 6B active params helps around the memory bandwidth constraints, but a 128GB box can probably run the Q3/Q4 quants fairly easily with a decent con

The biggest practical obstacle, other than getting elected, is the dress code for the house of commons which disallows military uniform, disallows face covering (while voting), and requires smart business attire. You could argue that he mig

If I recall correctly, Russia required that Visa/Mastercard had offices and payment services located in Russia and they simply nationalised those branches and everyone's cards continued to work within Russia with minimal disruptio

Unfortunately yes, and its the US that has choosen to do it. Its up to everyone else to recongise that it has already happened, or suffer the consequences if they choose not to respond.

If your business has everything on GCP/AWS/Azure (which is very common) and the Americans choose to weaponinse US tech against your country or business, then unless you have non-US backups you are probably dead and all of your emp

Well yes. The addressable consumer market is just a lot bigger and more diverse than it used to be. You go back to the early late 90s and its a market dominated by teenage boys. Go back and look at some of the 00s and early 10s E3 presenati

The US Military does use GPS, but ordinary civilians don't have access to high accuracy data. Commercial vendors can license for higher accuracy, but its a hybrid civilian/military system with higher quality data for military use

Yeah, the whole concept of rights in the US are, in the main, about restricting what the federal government and states can do individuals. Whereas in Europe our concept of rights include restrictions on the state, but also also might restri

Valve already runs all native linux games I believe in the scout 1.0 runtime by default unless the vendor specifies a newer linux runtime. You can override some of this behaviour by going to the games's preferences within the steam cli

I'm not certain, but WORMs WMD is a pretty old 2016 title that might predate a lot of these container runtimes being available to games other than Valve's own first party titles like Dota 2 and CSGO/CS2. Also, Valve has recen

But we already had things like tachyons css (tailwind precursor) and webpack css modules at the time that both offered static stylesheet solutions to that problem.

1980s called, have you heard of Thatcherism? We had a housing policy, and then that was replaced by an anti-housing policy.

by a_humean 1y ago
Part of the reason is probably that nearly all high income countries have terrible housing policies that make it impossible for ordinary people to have stable housing until their late 30s/early 40s.

They wrote everything in unsafe rust where its very possible to segfault. This is not a normal C to Rust port. In a normal port you would never aim to have 100% unsafe rust code - rather you would hive off small parts of your application wh

I think there might end up being some problems which will be very challenging to solve with those resource constraints - namely memory. You will probably have to be pretty clever with your solutions. I remember one of my naive brute force s

Valve's proton and VKD3D basically covers all of that. The only games that I have any trouble running on my fedora/amd system are those that use invasive anti-cheat.

I mean... that isn't outside of the realm of possibility honestly. A lot of European states and the EU parliament have been making noises that could lead down that path. EU states actually take user data seriously, and its not like the

I think most people would count java as languages with a less expressive type system. For one it doesn't catch null exceptions, whereas languages like rust do.
24.
by a_humean 3y ago
I think the point in the article is coming from Python or languages with less expressive type systems there is an awful lot of overlap between compiling/type checking in rust and some of the tests that get written in those languages.

Yes, gas has been so cheap, until recently, that nobody has invested into insulation, and our housing stock is so poor quality and small in average size that insulation has lots of detractions in terms of property appearance and internal ar

The fact that new builds are still installing gas boilers and without ventilation systems in 2024 is insanity. A family member just bought a brand new flat that has a gas boiler in it with zero space for a hot water tank and no ventilation.
