It is distracting you because part of your mental focus is on "is this AI".

> They don't know what comfortable vs. uncomfortable feels like in a language This is mostly about human preferences right. If software is just taken as the end product, does it matter what "feels" good and doesn't?

Video by GN has a little bit of info (but not a lot). Basically they made it so that the pipes only accept input from MSI signed software + the pipes can only invoke MSI signed executables. https://youtu.be/Eck8NnoaD4M

This is relying on the patient being stupid. I would always prefer just an honest explanation of things rather than pseudo-science drugs. And if I do discover that it's a pseudo-science drug then I've lost all confidence in that d

I am confused why none of the experts weighing in here address this at all. Like I get that AI is generally disliked, but ignoring facts only makes me want to not trust doctors.

People complain because Proton specifically advertises privacy, mainstream providers don't. Which is pretty reasonable as far as complaining goes. Good job on mocking others though :*

Well it is their reality. It's more like most people live in a different, crueller reality than them.

Arch wiki is something special. It is astounding how diverse and detailed (and yet concise) it is.

I discovered it today and I'm in love! Thank you for maintaining a piece of simple joy for more than a decade <3

Because a novel is about creative output, and engineering is about understanding a lot of rules and requirements and then writing logic to satisfy that. The latter has a much more explicitly defined output.

Yeah then you have the choice to not buy the locked down hardware, you don't have a right to get open hardware FROM Google. Of course there are no good options for open hardware, but that is a related but separate problem.

I worked in a similar system. The raw data from the field first goes to a cloud hosted event queue of some sort, then a database, then back to whatever app/screen on field. The data doesn't just power on-field displays. There&#x27

This is the exact attitude that keeps people away from Linux. The moment someone points out practical problems with Linux, it's users get all defensive and elitist about it. Sigh, if at least this changed more people would use Linux.

I feel the same. For now, I've made peace with having to switch to "whatever is the latest maintained fork with privacy defaults" every 6 months. Hopefully Ladybird becomes a usable browser sometime soon.

This is what I have struggled to understand about Zig. It seems pretty much like C in a mental model aspect - you are responsible for everything. It's slightly better than C, but C already runs on everything on the planet and can be ma

I've been wanting to do this! The plan was to modify the Bazzite DX version build script, but ultimately Fedora being base was a deal breaker for me. With KDE Linux this might finally be a dream come true.

I'm on a 3080 and it uses 1 gb vram and 22% util. Sure it's still not lightweight, but certainly not as bad as you seem to be experiencing.

Yeah and in real world people from different countries with vastly different economic backgrounds compete on the same stage, I think video games are fine.

On a different perspective, I love that VS Code supports so many things. As full stack dev I have to work with Python/TypeScript/C# interchangeably, often in the same project. I can easily switch between projects with the same edi

I don't think that LLMs at present are anything resembling human intelligence. That said, to a human also, the order in which candidates are presented to them will psychologically influence their final decision.

I have been using it lightly. But the biggest problem (for me) is that I cannot use custom icons. I have to use Azure specific icons in a lot of diagrams. Mermaid's support for custom icons is only via iconify packs as far as I can tel

Isn't it generating in the browser using webgpu?

I'm in the same boat. Sure it's nice and better, but I haven't felt so much annoyance with the python ecosystem that I desperately need something better. I use VS Code and it takes care of venv automatically, so I am biased b
