Is Mozilla really relevant anymore ? When they cut the devtools and rust/servo teams I view them as fragmenting the browser market and not driving web forward.

I didn't know about this - thanks ! I haven't tried this for a while, but just for comparison I actually got a GBA emulator on my Samsung via play store. It's very much an Apple thing again.

I switch between both every few years, on iPhone 14 ATM. Honestly Android does a lot of things better - there's so many stupid "because Apple" things on iOS. For example it's impossible to tell the charging speed/es

I think the point is having stable recurring revenue. Giving you unlimited usage means on average you'll be paying more than you use, but, unless you're seriously abusing it, you can technically cost them more than you pay. Just l

No they weren't - ASP.NET webforms and old EF was such a pile of shit it didn't matter how fast C# was (and back then it really wasn't, granted order of magnitude better than ruby/python, but way behind JVM). The applica

C# in 2006 was a joke, probably worse than Rails in performance. This was the webforms era and old EF - meant for enterprise customers with a couple of hundred active users max... ASP.NET being a competitive/performant framework is a v

If it's anything like LLM for code review then I'd say it's not very potent. No doubt it's good at paraphrasing code, deobfuscation sound like a good usecase. Other than that I've seen it mostly come up with bullshi

I think they probably finetuned that because it used to be the other way around and it was pretty bad UX to wait 1 min to apply a function change to a class or stuff like that.

It's funny how some of those examples give me this creepy uncanny valley feel for music (the lowfi hip hop example) - I've never experienced it this way before. It's sort of reminds me of the audio effects they use to indicat

I don't have problems with bugs as often as I would expect considering the complexity of the IDE ! I'd say it's much better than Visual Studio which is directly comparable. But there are many annoying issues open for a long t

I don't understand what you're trying to say ? From what I've read 4090 should blow A100 away if you can fit within 22GB VRAM, which a 7B model should comfortably. And the latency (along with variability and availability) on

by moonchrome 3y ago
We are talking about 7B models ? Those can run on consumer GPUs with lower latency than A100s AFAIK (because gaming GPUs are clocked different). Not to mention OpenAI has shit latency and terrible reliability - you should be using Azure mod

I'm saying that EU is again lagging in providing new effective treatment - just like they were with COVID vaccine because of beurocratic penny pinching. So I'm praising the US fast adoption of an effective treatment.

Sounds like you don't like the outcome and dismiss the possibility that it's the result of the system. From what I understand Orban has a decent approval rating in his country. For Putin it's hard to say since Russia is so fo

Copilot is a tool that does intelligent copy paste with an interface that doesn't break flow - smaller models can support that. ChatGPT tries to be a knowledge oracle/problem solving via conversation and it's not up to that t
