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 never got it to work. The remote connection situation in Wayland is a major regression.

Fair enough, I probably wrote most people just as an automatic phrase when it should be "some people"

Check my math here, but 1 is larger than 0.

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 putting an extra step between you and whatever toxic app(s) you have can be enough. It mostly works for me, and as an added bonus you get insane battery life. I would try that before buying a new phone.

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 mouse! hover to select and only one click needed!). I wonder what techy kids today do to explore and have fun.

Speaking of the early 2000's, man, Aqua was such a good design. I appreciate the nextstep paradigm and design, but Aqua was just so futuristic, in a good way.

I don't think article misses it, it's exactly the point it makes

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 expensive human time on evaluating and fine tuning models. You can also build various integration, management and reporting features to add value. If you freeze model progress today, or 12 months ago when most of those companies started, it's a viable business I think.

But any gains you make on the first part will be lost to newer models, and the 2nd part is not as valuable when llms allow people to build fairly complicated features quickly.

I don't if worthless but all those companies have very limited time to gather customers and at least make themselves valuable for an acquisition

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 perfectly fine with that. Let's see how many survive 5 years down the line

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 size?)

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 blind, I found that people I had high similarity with, it was more likely I'll like what they like, even across different genres. Sometimes people were nice and took the effort to recommend based on my profile. I got introduced to varied music, different genres and even a bit from different countries.

The worst was Pandora, which did recommendations based on breakdown of musical instruments and elements in the song. It did what it aimed to do pretty well, only it was a bad idea. It gave you a lot of uninspiring music that sounded like a bland copy of something you actually liked.

Spotify's recommendations are not super awful, but definitely feel closer to Pandora's style. I wonder why is the result like that even though I'm sure they train their model based on listening history.

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 aware it has only one (very talented) maintainer as far as I recall.

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 cynical wine devs

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 problems and gets excessive focus from react devs, but fundamentally I can agree on what's its trying to solve. I understand the need, even if i disagree in almost anything else regarding it. I still don't know what the css in js phase was about.

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, but maybe im not old enough

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 end machine for that time but they paid as if it was a Pentuim. Had to somehow make it work up until 2001 with that machine. Don't know if I had a career in tech if I wasn't forced to tinker with it.

look the peace is definitely an achievement and much much better than the alternative. But it's incredibly fragile peace held only the Egyptian Army control and Sisi's dictatorship.

Most of the population still despises Israel, another revolution in Egypt and its a matter of time until there is another war. Now with western equipment for both sides!

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.
