The way you're calling a computer program "he" and "him" really skeeves me out for some reason.

Yep, that's a reasonable response. Thanks for your work.

Yes and I'm just pushing back against GP who seems to think gatekeeping that access is a good thing. And it's still way better than John Deere who (according to TFA), when the tractor detects that some wires are disconnected, want

When I bought my current car, it came with an owners manual--for free!! I can grab any data I want from the OBD port. The hardware was cheap, the software to use it is, again, free. I'm not excited about this brave new world where you

There's a big difference between "the issue was closed" and "received no acknowledgment". The former is a deliberate action. The latter could be a case of SMTP-ate-my-email.

I tested restoring my restic backups to the same PC and it worked. If I was forced to use a mac and Apple's password manager, I'd probably do the same test, conclude it worked, and then later lose all my data. If you care about ke

And with all those credentials, you couldn't even be bothered to write an accurate summary? That makes it look worse, not better.

Don't be so generous in your assumptions. Meta simply stole the username because they could, and gave the old owner nothing in return. Or if they were lucky, maybe the band got a few Meta branded t-shirts, as was the case for one of th

zstd is the go-to compression format these days. It's even supported in low-level software such as many linux filesystems. I don't know much about duckdb but it looks like it supports zstd too: https://duckdb.org/d

That's the goal, but those smaller models don't match the price:performance of leading open-weight models, which is why companies are switching away (as explained in TFA). The open weight labs figured out some secret sauce that (s

Less opex = more profits. They can use that money to fund training. I don't see how that could possibly be a bad thing.

Again, I am talking about inference, not training. Please read.

That doesn't really answer the question. What they do internally for training the next model is a separate issue. I'm talking about the models they offer publicly. Per the article, companies are dropping OpenAI+Anthropic (partly)

If we accept the premise that the top Chinese labs are simply distilling and can't compete otherwise: why don't US labs simply do the same thing? Distill their own models and slash their costs by 99% while keeping the same quality

It's amazing how people still fall for the marketing. Apple is an ad company, just like Google. Advertising and data collection is baked into their OS, store, and core apps. They're just trailing behind revenue-wise by a few years

SegmentedList had a weird API, especially the way you control the list growth factor by the size of an inline array. And it hadn't kept up with stdlib norms in recent versions. I do hope it comes back eventually with an improved API. A

I'll be honest, you sound like someone's grandma who calls every game console a "Nintendo" and every game character "Mario". So what if the general public can't tell the difference between Samus and Mario?
