It depends on the task, but you generally want some context. These models can do things like OCR and summarize a pdf for you, which takes a bit of working memory. Even more so for coding CLIs like opencode-ai, qwen code and mistral ai. Infe

I like the alpine-ajax API. You specify one or more targets and it swaps each of those elements. No default case or OOB, just keeping it uniform instead. As for Datastar, all the signal and state stuff seems to me like a step in the wrong d

Consider supporting some organization working to repeal prohibition, e.g. LEAP. None of this could be justified without the war on drugs. Plus we'd get rid of the prime motivator for a lot of the world's crime.

I really like Clojure, it's the language that finally made FP "click" for me. It was my go to for hobby/side projects for quite a while. Dynamic typing is why I eventually switched. Haskell scratches the same itches that

> Most open source maintainers work in their free time on those projects, and have an additional fulltime job to cover the bills. Are you certain? I'd think most open source development is done by paid developers, on company time.

For one thing, new games on Linux should no longer be targeting a platform that should have been phased out before Steam even launched on the OS. And people will no longer need a duplicate set of libraries on their machines, all the way dow

Actually, AMD's latest design, the RX 4x0 series, measures up really well to NVidia's mid and low end cards, especially for Vulkan/DX12 apps. They're not a contender in the enthusiast market, but will be releasing high-e

No thanks. I can see this kind of legislation turning any online presence into a horribly expensive bureaucratic nightmare while accomplishing fuck-all security-wise. (At best.. Given current governments' track record, any privacy act

Why do you want to learn C or C++ if you can't think of something you'd like to use them for? I've written a fair bit of assembler and occasionally still do tiny projects in C or C++, but my language of choice (by far) is the

I don't think open source is really about making money for most companies, it's more about improving quality and keeping costs down. At a former employer we did follow the give-it-away-and-charge-for-a-service model, but we also w

There's no extreme right in Norway (at least not in the parliament). The so-called "extreme right" progress party are left of the US Democrats in all(?) matters. With only 16% of the votes they also lost 1/4th their seat

Norway is the same. The norm is 37.5 hour work weeks. We're entitled to a 0.5 hour lunch break every day, but that's unpaid unless you're required to spend it on-site.

I like Clojure, but this looks rather painful. If you're dead set on adding type declarations, perhaps you'd be better off with Haskell or something?

4096 bit keys only make sense if they're asymmetric and those won't capture anything close to 4096 bits of entropy. As for the strength of 256 bits, the Wikipedia page on brute force attacks should tell you how infeasible attackin

I like it this way. Less intrusive, but easy to find when you want it.

Thanks. I did fix it soon after posting, but guess the incorrect one could be cached for a while.

Valve and Ubuntu might have popularized Linux gaming, but they also screwed us over. Every desktop CPU sold in the last decade, at least the ones capable of running games, supports x86-64. The only reason 32 bit installs exist in the wild i

I'm not saying that metabolism has no effect, I'm saying the effect is small relative to calorie intake. I'm well aware of how a keto diet works, and that it can be useful for people looking to lose weight. It's no guarantee, though. Ther

Have you been tracking calorie intake, both before and after the diet change? That's the deciding factor for your weight. Metabolism, wheat/yeast sensitivity or even normal exercise only has a minor impact. I would think dropping something

A simpler explanation is that his new diet contains less calories than the old one. Achieving ketosis by accident is pretty far fetched, even among ignorant people on some crazy food group diet.
