I played with it for 10 minutes, very impressive. Couldn't get vscode to work, will try again later with different apps. (vscode is not that important anyway as it has a remote mode) I understand (well, "guess" more than unde

I might be mistaken, but both need a physical monitor turned on. If your monitor goes to sleep you can't connect/see a black screen. The kde one doesn't support remote user login, and while the gnome one does on paper, I neve

The maximum battery save mode on Samsung (or maybe on all android devices?) does just that - you can set the limit on which apps can be opend. Turn the display to greyscale. Homescreen only shows like 8 apps. I think for most people, just p

I kinda miss that in the early 2000's kde and gnome shipped with a fuck ton of window decorations based on all those (then-not-so) old OS. Teenager me had fun switching them every day and playing with windowing behavior (focus follows

Very very strictly speaking relying on models in it's essence is not the problem I think. There is enough "meat" there you can build a nice small profitable company. Those tools are better than vanilla agents by dedicating ex

groq is a series E hardware startup founded in 2016. It took them this long to be a potential threat, I'm not sure they are even an actual threat. Even if this purchase causes 100 new hardware startups to be funded tomorrow, nVidia is

It should work if the library was compiled with deceleration map option. Which most libraries are not and it's a shame. It was added like 3 years ago which was probably a bit too late, not even sure why it's not the default. (File

The best ”algorithm” for discovering new music was digging through profiles on last.fm back when the social functions of the site were still active. Sure, it was a lot of manual work, but the results were amazing. It wasn't completely

I'm using it for a hobby project, and pretty pleased. My personal maybe somewhat "stubborn old man" opinion is that no node.js orm is truly production quality, but if I were to consider one I think I would start with it. Be a

That definitely helps and worth doing. On Mac though I guess you need to move the entire development to containers due to native dependencies.

2003 me thought Wine is a dead end project and a waste of developer time. Granted valve put a lot of effort into Proton but they wouldn't even have considered it without the massive amount of work done before, kudus to all the non cyni

Css in js was like a fever dream that lasted 2-3 years and seems to mostly go away. It's a good example as to how the frontend world just seems to make bad decisions. Like if you take React's server components, it has a ton of pr

Where I live, the early Facebook apps were the killer feature of the early days of Facebook. Genuinely asking, what other software company did something like this back then? I'm tempted to say (tounge in cheek) FB was the original PaaS

Look I agree but one can also manage with an always on pc and an external hard drive instead of a homelab. It's part hobby part learning experience. Also if you have kids 0-6 you can't schedule anything relaibly

The part about buying a misleading CPU really hit home with me. Man all those small retailers in the 90s were living the dream with their unaware customers. My parents bought an AMD 486 100mhz at the end of 1995, it was still a viable low e

Generally those smaller models do well when most of the data comes from the prompt. Summarising, rephrase and change tone, categorize. Ask them a question, or to generate code and you'll get hallucinations

I'm purely guessing here, but also considering I read him and Linus both say "we have enough kernel developers", I think it's likely they don't want to encourage low quality contributions from new developers.

Linux desktop efforts need a BDFL. Too many duplicated efforts, the wayland migration while needed was a complete mess, and actually the worst time I had using Linux since like 2005. This kind of complete breakage of user experience is unim

GCP shutting down might be one in a million, but "Google cloud niche product X" is a lot more likely. With GCP I feel like you should stick to the core services to avoid any risks.
