Because 'manuscript' means hand-written. LLMs think if they write it enough times, it'll become true. Then they'll grow hands and then not only will RAM be in short supply but keyboards too.

IIRC W2K didn't have one. Defragmentation can use different strategies which may impact the time it takes and additional perf gains if the right files are next to each other. The builtin defrag tool doesn't give any option. So &qu

I get the sentiment. But for the record, O&O has been around for a long time, they were known for their excellent defragmentation tool, which isn't so much required nowadays. Their business model was never close to Adware (to my kn

Nothing would have prevented building a nice, lightweight system in Java in 2007 had one thrown away the conventions that had infested it at that point. Java's problem never was the language which has been as serviceable as any other s

You got what you paid for. They probably wished they could make cheaper cards too but it was never their primary focus and so eventually went back to making only expensive specialized cards where 3dfx, Nvidia, ATI and the like couldn't

Opportunity cost for Nvidia to prevent HF from going public or being sold to someone else. It's an insight into Nvidia's market prediction and what HF told them they'd do if left alone.

I don't doubt RISC-V can be used to make powerful cores but adoption as a general purpose CPU (rather than MCU) will need more than good numbers. There's still a missing piece in the RISC-V ecosystem: a coordination body of platfo

I'm pretty certain my car could go months running Android in low power mode just from the 12v battery, never mind the traction battery. But no, they had to have the head unit boot on every start and everything is slow for a minute, esp

Reading this, I can't come to a conclusion other than "git rapidly starts sucking balls for use cases outside of Linux development". Github started with ze_current_fastness but then ended up recurrently smashing into walls be

The difference is you can start processing plastic in the middle of the ocean NOW with very little oversight. Capturing river plastic requires collaboration of local authorities and people. This turns a purely technical solution into a huma

It's an external contract first ORM. It brings strict typing but doesn't go into object persistence management. It's similar to what OpenAPI/Swagger does for REST. Being contract first means that both SQL and correspondi

My caveman understanding is that mmap writes are bad for transactional accesses because you have little to no control over sync. The OS can decide to commit changes to disk anytime, in any order which is the opposite of what you want for an

The unified memory architecture is interesting for toying with medium size models but will never offer as much bandwidth as a dedicated GDDR memory bank. Conversely, GDDR can't be used for general CPU purposes because access latency is

> I didn't want to do it in C, and I didn't want to learn Rust. Sounds like you made a decision right there. The rest is just retro-justification, not a logical argument or comparative between options. It works for you, good.
