Bloody 'eck. This sounds like a chat around the back of the bike sheds off of the '70's onwards. Yes, apple pips do have a tiny amount of cyanide in them (but why) This is a from a reasonable source and relates to cherries:

LG TVs boot Linux and have plenty of capabilities. Why would they not ... take a look around at the environment ... to best enhance ... your errr experience. LG are amongst equals here. I've seen devices (TVs/cameras) do ping sw

"It's formalized in Lean, isn't it?" If that's the current burden of proof required in your world for maths then that's fine! 't'ain't in my world: I want to see peer reviewed and published. Su

I suggest that Google should be doing that job for you. It is absolutely ridiculous that you have been either victim shamed, blamed or simply neglected by Google into doing it yourself. In a mall, you expect to see mall cops ... where are t

Ye domesday weapon will not be a disenchanted teenager whipping up COVID-19 variants (whatever that means) and spraying them on people. The real deal needs a lab messing around with viruses and whatever happened a few years ago ... and it d

Somehow I manage it for quite a few domains. You have to do email due-dil and off you trot. Gmail, MS and co really do respect the rules in my estimation and don't simply dump email out of spite. If you go in with at least everything u

My C64 is going to absolutely smash this and my dog (Darby) is a frequent barker too! I'll vibe up an abacus emulator as a PWA.

I started migrating my customers from VMware a good three years ago. It does help that I have thirty years Linux experience compared to the paltry twenty five or so of VMware (which was RedHat plus stuff back in day) I also have rather a lo

Windows does care about file extensions but is mildly embarrassed about it, hence the "show" default that has existed from Win 8 (?) onwards. Linux and co generally work with magic bytes which is just another way of doing file for

Yes, and I said its a limit of the implementation and not the model.

128k context is not a limit of the model, that's a limit of implementation: "Context Length: 262,144 natively and extensible up to 1,000,000 tokens." https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B

I (we) run Qwen3.8-27B-FP8 on a DGX Spark box - that's roughly £4000 of hardware. I did benchmark it in various ways and it runs quite well but it is a quantised jobbie and 1.5k t/s is also rather faster than anything I can possib

Mate ... How many people are engineers, technicians, mildly interested, not fussed or call the internet "Facebook"? IPv4 without NAT was fucked at the design stage. To be fair: Who knew? I was asked by my employer a while back to

Quite right but it would be nice if the kids would invent their own things instead of whining about how expensive doing "boomer things" is nowadays! Where are your modern alternative festis or something else? Where is the the mod

The article simply states "we must comply with some regs" and nothing else of substance. There is no indications of what registration implies nor what packaging is actually required. We get this: "That’s because one of the p

It was the '80s so safety razor blades were available but in a posh public school (UK version) aged ~17, compasses were everywhere and large old style razor blades were not - the modern style razor with one or two thin blades was a thi

Quite. I was a VMware fanboi (25+ years, man and boy) I still look after a few VMware estates and a lot of Proxmox ones (that used to run VMware). Hilariously, VMware is described as "enterprise class", which I can only conclud

Ubuntu is really polished these days. I rock Kubuntu myself and just migrated my Dad to it from Win 10 (no Win 11 on that box). I have two members of staff who have asked me to migrate them over. I just need to get "drive mappings&qu

IT is a bit of a journey (as is life). I started off with a ZX80 kit and some bluetac ... I've lost count of how many interfaces I've had to fenangle to get a job done. For 20 odd years I rocked Gentoo as my daily driver but my

No need for funky stuff, just do the classic (lol) Young's slits experiment which should be more than enough oddness for anyone. I was shown it at school, using microscope glass slides that we waved over a Bunsen burner running cold, t

You start with not installing Prometheus! Prom. is a full on stats grabber and display system with knobs on. This is a single system effort and at 5MB RAM is rather tiddly and surely counts as minimal overhead. It could probably send the

"puzzling than pellucid" Pellucid might be cromullant but it ain't pervasive. I have never heard that word and I've heard quite a few. If I had to guess: it might be American (US) in situ wankery only, for the use of.

I'm with you. That is quite a dense paper. I nearly made it through the first line, OK, sentence of what looks like the Intro, which doesn't bother introducing itself and isn't actually the introduction which occurs later. I
