I get the snark on the technical merits, but saying that Four Thieves is just a joke is sort of like saying that Luigi Mangione is just a murderer. The reason that they have such notoriety is that countless people are deeply disappointed an

As someone who has looked into it, it's unfortunately far from actually being a universal option in practice. I understand that my situation isn't typical, but the commute to an actually-inclusive UU congregation (there are "

An interesting quirk of the ISO 9660 standard is that the first sector of the disc is explicitly undefined, in order to accommodate a platform-specific boot sector. I sometimes wonder how many platforms could be accommodated by a single &qu

I don't recall seeing "app" on its own that often, but there was the idiom "killer app", meaning an application that was compelling enough to drive sales of its host platform (VisiCalc on Apple II being the go-to ex

Also, it's become pretty clear that anorexia embodies a particular kind of dysfunctional dynamic between body perception and diet (one that is gaining recognition in other forms of dietary restriction, as sometimes seen in e.g. athlete

You don't even necessarily get it with enterprise products; last time I checked, Nvidia requires additional CAL-type licenses installed on a "certified" server from the "Nvidia Partner Network", while AMD and Intel

(Context note: I started writing this as a top-level comment, but I think it ultimately fits better as a concurring reply here.) For all of the galling failures described in this story, I see it first and foremost as an indictment of the (n

The article mentions PC sound cards, but this family of synthesizer chips was pretty common in video games overall ca. 1985-1995. They were used in Master System, Genesis, Neo Geo, Capcom CPS1/CPS2, Sega System 16, Midway Y-Unit/T

Most of it these days is less about being intelligent enough and more about whether you're positioned to encounter or hear about a "chilling effect" [1]. Historians will probably only ever be able to debate order-of-magnitude

Yeah; I think that's essentially where the disconnect is rooted for me. It seems to me (a non-lawyer, to be clear) that it's damn hard to make the case for model training necessarily being meat-and-potatoes "infringement&qu

It's a bit of a clumsy rewording, but it pairs with the opening line that mentions Jimmy Buffett's "Margaritaville". In the song, the narrator eventually laments that "some people claim that there's a woman to

The claim that's being allowed to proceed is under 17 USC 1202, which is about stripping metadata like the title and author. Not exactly "core copyright violation". Am I missing something?

Note also that Sam Zeloof is a co-founder. He's nowhere near as famous as Keller, but he built a small-scale fab in his parents' garage when he was a teenager. I doubt there are many people with more "small runs" stret c

MIOpen has a "release/rocm-rel-6.3" branch, but I don't see a corresponding tag. I think a press release somehow got ahead of the software release.

I'm not sure where to find a better list, but I'm pretty sure those are the capital-s "Supported" configurations that you can expect to productively yell at AMD about, not the full list of what ROCm actually works with.

This could easily be misread as a culture war tangent, but at the risk of "explaining the joke", it's a reference to the song "A Boy Named Sue" (which TIL the Johnny Cash version is a cover, with the original artist

My understanding (albeit only gathered from blogs/YouTube videos/Google Maps) is that the biggest difference is parking. On-street parking is mostly not allowed, free parking at businesses is mostly limited to car-centric ones lik

I think you're right overall, but a lot of that is an unexamined reaction to a built environment designed for motor vehicles, rather than being designed for humans. In suburban America, it too often doesn't occur to people to wa
