What I find surpring here is this being about DNS. Simple optimization should have been done maybe 1997. Letting it build up to 100 TB is noteworthy, but on the other hand for IT that's common. It's surprising but also totally exp

It improved a lot and it is good. On Linux I think the default way to go is still Lazarus. But with Delphi you can buy more shiny polished things on top. So for commercial use Delphi is more relevant. And there are enough differences in com

You don't have to use their premium database components. Just use something else as client-library. I'm also not a fan of yearly payments. But with a $1200 license you usually get access to all old versions - including Delphi 7. A

Where did you find the news? So far I only found decent discussions about it in Chinese. https://www.zhihu.com/question/2070336637360518307/answer/20...

I'd also be interested in the Pareto Front of Fonts. That would be the final font collection - to rule them all.

I think learning how to set up a local AI now requires less time than learning about potential pitfalls of token-plans and processing payments in corporate environments. It's not that billing is complicated, but learning to set up a lo

Sounds like a decent challenge. Needs AI Translation built into the forum infrastructure... But I'd give it a try. Before there was AI, I chatted a few times successfully in Chinese only using some translation tools. Now with AI it sho

In case there is a decent forum about tech somewhere in the Alibaba cloud, I'll be interested. HN has built a certain unhealthy bias in a lot of subjects. But so far other places haven't gained enough traction, yet.

Nice. I used Q4_K_M to have some headroom. But yours seems to fit nicely.

Why? Unlike loads involving a real physical process there is absolutely no need for AI-training to be constant.

Ozone is an interesting topic. CFCs seem to be very potent climate gases. But I haven't checked any calculations about them, yet. I'd love to see a good analysis of the absorption-spectrum. Adding something new to the atmosphere h

Hm. Nowadays a lot of games look alike. They use some 3D-Engine and most of the work is in the 3D-modelling and writing some interesting scripts. For modelling and scripting I think we're not far away. A lot of games just reused old hi

Today even tiny CPUs are really fast. Locally you have to mess up badly to run into trouble. But of course people will do exactly that... Most real world problems still can be solved with 32-bit software, so the last ~20 years running out o

I once found that my old Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard had an option to disable the Caps Lock Key in the settings. I immediately used that. Then after a reboot Caps Lock was ON and the Key was disabled - Shift now also didn't disable Ca

But remember that markets can stay irrational longer than anyone can hold his breath. If they get more funding there's a good chance they'll invest more in the destruction of the remaining production capacity. Admitting that with

Maybe sycophantic nature is a good fit for the legal system. A successful lawyer once told me that the most important thing is to know your judge. Objectivity isn't a big thing in court. They'll cite random newspaper articles as e

The relation of consciousness and being in control is interesting. I'm not so sure about the decision-making experiments - maybe they just measured latency in the communication layers? I think being in control is a rare thing. It'

One step further is to ask how conscious your mind actually is. There is a lot happening on autopilot - and everybody usually checks out for a few hours at night. Maybe consciousness is a rare temporary thing. I think evidence suggests that

Great! Now add a liquid ocean and add scattering in that liquid. Stretch goals: absorption and reflections...

I'm running a server in the 5K-league. And the results are very good. I get about 150 Tokens/s from Qwen3 for coding. And about 50 Tokens/s from the newer non-MoE Qwens. I wouldn't bother with less than 32GB of VRAM. Wit

Real Linux on phones is a thing. They're usable, but most hardware is getting old. E.g. PinePhone still works fine, but they recently announced that it's unlikely that we see a new version. They mention that it's hard to be c

Good point. Also, most humans seem to have no problems believing even stories that are self-contradictory. Philosophers from all periods have often stated that the situation with human mind and reasoning is almost hopeless. The news here is

I think using violet as a name for the entire color-range around (~128, 0, 255) is also common. So in a sense purple is an element of the violet color-range. But as points they are distinct. I think purple is more specific - as a color-rang

Purple has a lot more red. (157, 0, 255) vs. (128, 0, 255). Good to have learned something today...

And don't forget open source games. Before going for the indies, I'd suggest downloading and winning all the available major open source roguelikes. And after that, start creating mods/patches for those. Once you're done

So, to follow up I'd say in the context of EML I think ln(-1) = pi*i is the natural fit. Pi and Tau are both more advanced constructs.

by adornKey 5mo ago
The construction so far uses ln(-1) to get to pi - so far no easy way to tau.

by adornKey 5mo ago
Although x + y is surprisingly more complicated than you'd expect at first. The construction first goes for exp(x) and ln(x) then to x - y and finally uses -y to get to x + y.
