It was too early, but also lingered in development for far too long. It also never had the proper server-side implementations, so it could feel like a solution in search of a problem. That said, the design is far more advanced than the roll

I think you meant a quote attributed to Bill Gates: "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox and I broke into his house to steal the T

That's good information. I couldn't possibly even start to run even DeepSeek Flash on my system, but also if you're assuming multiple GPUs, that is going to affect the napkin math.

I assume this is primarily intended to block using older Kindles to bypass DRM? I have some experience doing this with this on an older keyboard Kindle and Calibre, and haven't really kept up with the current state of jailbreaking on n

Interesting. It seems like a ToS violation would have been worthy of a warning and revoking the offending earnings, but nope, it was no mercy or review.

Several years ago, I ran a niche hobbyist website and incorporated Adsense (because why not?!?). The site featured a fuzzy search function since it referenced tens of thousands of named parts. The search result page would echo the (sanitize

As much as I respect the site and gladly financially support it, this is ultimately a failure on Ars Technica and its editors. If there are any. If this were just some random blogger, then yes the blame is totally theirs. But this was publi

Massive radiators. In this photo[0], all of the light gray panels are thermal radiators. Note how they are nearly as large as the solar panels, which gives you an idea about the scale needed to radiate away 3-12 people's worth of heat

It feels like GLM has either a bit of a fan club or maybe some paid supporters...

It is still good, even if not the new hotness. But I understand your point. It isn't as though GLM-4.7 Flash is significantly better, and honestly, I have had poor experiences with it (and yes, always the latest llama.cpp and the updat

Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B[0][1] is a very impressive local model. It is good with tool calling and works great with llama.cpp/Visual Studio Code/Roo Code for local development. It doesn't get a ton of attention on /r/

I only have one day's worth of light usage on a Pixel 9 Pro, but it feels at least as responsive as Nova Launcher. Zero lag in switching screens, opening the app drawer, or scrolling through apps - there is a control for the animation

I had never experienced meteoblue so I installed it, it looked very nice, but when I added the 4x1 widget, it looked horrible. I resized it and got "Subscription required. Tap on the widget to open the in-app store"! If you'r

Widget sizing/appearance was probably the only surprise that I discovered between Nova and Octo. Resizing in Octo takes a bit of getting used to, but I was able to reproduce the appearance of all of my widgets. Padding is a little diff

There have been enshitification clouds looming on the horizon for Nova Launcher for so long, I think many people (including me) were hoping it would just never happen. That said, check out Octopi Launcher. I installed it for the first time

Thank you! I had looked at several recommended launchers and none were real Nova Launcher replacements. I randomly saw your comment and was intrigued, especially since I hadn't seen a lot of sources mentioning Octopi Launcher as a suit

I was a 10+ year long Nova Launcher user and knew this day was coming after the sale and layoffs[0][1]... This evening I at looked several replacement launchers, such as Lawnchair and even the stock Pixel launcher again, but Octopi Launcher

This feels like the desperate, look at me! post, which is the exact opposite of Andrej Karpathy's recent tweet[0] about feeling left behind as a programmer, as covered on Hacker News[1]. I guess would want to see how sustainable this 5

The spinrite[0] user group has noticed some of these effects, even on in-service drives. The theory is that operating system files, which rarely change, are written and almost never re-written. So the charges begin to decay over time and wh

Just a FYI - many people[0] (including myself) have had serious issues with JetKVM. In my case, I found it is not compatible with all HDMI sources but others just have unknown "Loading video stream..." issues. [0] https:/&#x

You're thinking of Mauna Kea, which is some distance - both horizontally and vertically - from Mauna Loa.

Yes, but this is generalized so it was able to be added to the llama-server GUI as well.

We shake our heads at round vs. square filter in the distant 1970 past, but flash forward 55 years and we have that a very similar situation in the active American space capsules - none of the spacesuits are compatible with any of the other
