In this case, Pascal as a Nvidia's codename for a GPU microarchitecture. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(microarchitecture) I guess many would like to use stock vLLM to run inference on affordable P100...

Even if it is mandatory in some form, there is plenty of nuance in the actual meaning before we come to calling "forced", isn't it?

Of course one can and should read the script before running it, but the instructions promote just the opposite. Even if we skip a step ahead and consider that this script then installs a binary blob... the situation doesn't get any bet

From the Github page: "curl -sL https://plandex.ai/install.sh | bash" Enticing users to blindly run remote 3rd party code on their machines is IMHO not a proper thing to do. This approach creates a dangerous minds

Did you mean to post a "subscriber link" that enables public access to articles at LWN? As it is now, it's members only until 20th of March...

Was the above post propaganda? Or was it just a user recommendation? Perhaps the reason it gets mentioned often is simply because it's a good piece of software. Then again, perhaps not! In any case, I'd be careful about using 3rd

You mean, like unrestricted access to the kernel with full firewalling capabilities? ;) Yes, GNU/Linux distributions provide exactly that.

Every time one sees something "bizarre" such as this, one should assume its made so on purpose and ask oneself hat purpose does it serve. In this case, its painfully obvious. Then assumptions such as "it's Signal's

Afternoon becomes an evening when the sun starts to set. An evening becomes a night when the sun is fully set. "I was up at two this morning" has several implied meanings. One of them equals to "I was up until two last night&

That got me wondering at a first glance too. But in this case, the word stands for "čuda" not CUDA. Čuda = miracles, wonders, in Serbian (and several other languages). And odd conglomerate of words from different languages perhaps

It's done afterwards, once you've safely reduced the speed of your vehicle, not during the initial emergency braking. It's basically a heads up for all the vehicles far behind you that haven't yet noticed a sudden change

You don't actually need to give the changes back to the community, you only need to give the changed code to those you distribute the modified software to. In other words: - if you don't publish the modified software, you don&#x27

Can't answer you direct question. But if messages sent are end-to-end encrypted, it would make no difference. There is nothing anyone can do to decrypt the content, even if given access to mail servers.

Just to note for those who don't know, FTPS and SFTP are completely different protocols. The similarity of the names often causes confusion, but SFTP has nothing to do with the venerable FTP. SFTP stands for "SSH file transfer pro

reMarkable 2 has pogo pins for the second USB at the left side, and that one supports a keyboard just fine. Terminal and emacs aren't there out of the box, but can be added. A really nice and quite hackable writing/reading device.

Well, it really depends on when were these jokes introduced to someone... They can hardly be marginally entertaining to someone 30 years ago if the person in question wasn't even born then! :) But they can most certainly be marginally

It's quite understandable, accurate and detailed on-line information about Molnijas is a bit scarce...

Sorry, but that's just nonsense. Mechanical time pieces that could even remotely be compared to a quartz in terms of precision and accuracy are few and far between and Seiko's 7s26 is certainly NOT among them by any means imaginab

Molnija wasn't a ripoff, Soviets purchased the design and the initial tooling from Cortebert. This particular Cortebert's calibre is indeed somewhat famous for being used by Rolex in 1940's (as cal. 618). It's a fine mov
