I have a RX 9070 also. I run llama-swap with a fill-in-middle 7B model, local 9B model, and it proxies up to OpenRouter for the bigger stuff. I think that's where the sweet spot is right now. I've spent $2 in the last 2 weeks on O

Some friendly tips from post-silicon validation: sudo systemctl reboot --firmware shutdown /r /t 0 /fw These reboot directly into BIOS. For Windows CMD+R menu, run it by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+Enter (elevates to admin). You may

Are those real numbers? Also, do you mean additive or multiplicative (i.e.: 20 + 20 + 15 vs. 20 * 20 * 15).

Is there a market for publishing the retrospective of the process which resulted in a "late found flaw"? I would expect uninteresting data would still be published if only to prevent someone from going down that rabbit hole in the

> Zig also doesn't have dynamic dispatch It doesn't have it as a language feature, but it does have VTables just like C would. The `std.mem.Allocator` is an example of this.

I think they're discussing the lifetime of that heap data, not whether the data is heap allocated.

I don't understand. Isn't this already the case in America with Section 230? (The original post is about the Netherlands, so this is now tangenting.) It's just that no one actually acts as a platform. I'll daydream with

There's a dead comment sibling to this one talking about how group admins can see through the anominity. I don't understand why it is dead. It wasn't even rudely stated. Is it just flat wrong, or did it cross some unknown soc

A quirk in my config that I haven't bothered to fix makes it so my formatter runs post write. I've unfortunately picked up the habit of <esc>:w<cr>:w<cr> in rapid succession.

I used to work on datacenter NVMe products. I wrote the tests which validated them (mostly functional not performance). I left that company before things got hot with fabrics, but I really want to see that stuff succeed. It looked really co

Is no one going to talk about their capabilities system? That shit looks cool. A compile time permissions system for which resources can be used. I wonder how fool proof that can be made. Are there escape hatches in the form of arbitrary as

I usually do. I have a 2 liter water bottle that I fill up at least twice a day. Though ironically with the heat this summer, I've been exercising and drinking less.

Wasn't there active attempts to hide the extent of the issue with Chernobyl which significantly worsened the damage? If so, that seems like saying there were cascading human errors in a murder-suicide. You're technically right on

I, for one, quite enjoyed the novelization of it. Especially the part about the space-irony continuum. My sleeping wife did not appreciate being woken up by laughter though.

I'm fascinated by the woman who seems to be pacing back and forth rather than do anything productive to help people or get to safety. I wonder if I would have the clarity of mind in that moment or if I would melt down also. It's m

I can't imagine someone named their language "of", "programming", or "in". So, I guess 3. Joy and Odin are obvious since they have shown up here recently. Totally tangential, but am I the only one that was

Good read. Thank you. This just worsens my fear of changing "unnecessary" code when I don't know the original motivation for it.

That's the user and/or user agent inserting those. You can have streamlined email threads without those issues. You just don't top post. Now, try to do encourage that behavior in a corporate environment, and you'll just

I think that's runtime safety protected. It should segfault if the program is built with "ReleaseSafe", the variable value is only known at runtime, and the variable overruns the array. There's a "ReleaseFast"

I used a Vega64 for years and just bought a 6000 series. Both work great on my machines. I'm typically running the bleeding edge kernels though, so that might explain it a bit. I would think Ubuntu is probably the most supported if you
