There was a Pakistani cheating ring at my wife's school. The administrators knew about it but did nothing.

Oh doctors, as in med students, absolutely cheat. Don't think they're above that. There are cheating rings that administrators turn a blind eye to.

It's not that simple. When you're away from home, how do you know the exact jurisdiction to lookup? And if it's not a police related matter, what non-emergency phone would you even look up? Plenty of metro areas have a bunch

How do you know what number to Google? Here's a real example. The day after a storm I noticed a tree leaning on a powerline. This was ~20 miles from where I live in a different county and township. If I hadn't already lived in tha

How do you know what number to even Google if it's not where you immediately live?

Does the GNOME founder think Omarchy is the SPLC or something?

This is actually something I've wondered about. What is the non-emergency number?

It does make sense. All I can say is if you don't release it, you eliminate any possibility of collaboration. But if you do release it, don't expect immediate collaboration. Whether a project gains interest is largely up to luck.

That's always been a possibility, even before the advent of LLMs. It was just harder to hide before. I think you should ask: what good is the project if you don't release it other than self-satisfaction? Sometimes just making some

Back when I switched to Linux in 2008, I had a similar wifi driver problem on my new Dell laptop. Eventually I found a different release of the Windows driver cab file strangely with an identical version but this one worked on Fedora. Soon

That's largely true of most technology available today. You can buy a cheap $100 phone that's more powerful than old super computers.

Script kiddies have always been a problem you have to defend against. This is nothing new.

Agents don't just exist in the aether. Any request is coming from an IP that can be identified at least to a hosting provider.

There is a certain attraction to the idea of being an NPC, or taking the blue pill offered by Morpheus as it were. Ignorance is bliss after all.

Where do you live where there isn't already property taxes?

How are stock buybacks wasteful? Aren't they just an alternate, more tax effective divided?

Don't many ccTLDs do something like that with the ".co.xx" second-level domain? (e.g., ".co.uk")

Mozilla's not exactly short on funds. They take in at least $500,000,000 every year.

I don't know what professional services they plan on offering. Does Debian actually offer any? I know the others do.

It appears to be an opinionated, batteries included distro/OS using a tiling window manager, and it's targeted at Mac/Windows power users. It's a niche target and time will tell whether it pays off.

You'd think a foundation raking in half a billion per year could accomplish more.

The really strange thing about the criticism directed towards Framework is they simply sponsored the Hyprland window manager, not the Omarchy OS, but because Omarchy uses Hyprland that got conflated as funding Omarchy.

That describes most distributions, even the base ones like Debian and Fedora.

Not a chance. Only the movies geared towards kids have been any good like Mario, Sonic, Wreck it Ralf, and the Lego movies. All of the teen/adult movies have been mediocre at best with maybe Resident Evil 1 being an exception.

With 32gb VRAM you should be able to run Qwen3.8-27B at either Q5 with 262k context, or Q6 with 200k context. Additionally you probably want Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) either in your harness or the server (e.g., in Open WebUI). Ad

That would be if Anthropic purchased Hugging Face, not Nvidia.

Not full precision. I've only benchmarked 27B across Q3-6 quants using lm-eval. I lack the hardware to bench 27B at BF16 but I might be able to do Q8_0. I haven't gotten around to doing 35B. I really should upload my collection of

You have your numbers switched. 27B is the dense model and runs slowly on unified memory. 35B (A3B active) runs great on unified memory.

I know it benchmarks very well. I haven't tried it yet though.

This is the best I got, all with Unsloth's quantizations. Laguna-S-2.1:UD-Q4_K_XL (no MTP) pp=186.4 t/s tg=27.8 t/s Qwen3.6-35B:UD-Q4_K_XL (with MTP) pp=404.4 t/s tg=83.2 t/s Qwen3.6-27B:UD-Q4_K_XL (recorded pre-MTP
