Do you have more specifics? I just tried it on my machine (Fedora 42, Plasma 6.5.1 Wayland, Konsole 25.08.2, Radeon 780M) and it seems fine for me. Does it only occur occasionally/under specific circumstances for example?

What is broken for you? At this point, starting from roughly KDE 6, Wayland has been pretty much flawless for me. KDE 5.27 was pretty much fine already as well.

Not sure if ditching infinity cache/L3 for a bigger L2 would make sense. It seems at least plausible to me that growing the L2 cache that much would make its latency worse, thus losing most of what has been gained. In the image you lin

Well, sure, but from what I know, humans are way better at following 'implicit' instructions than LLMs. A human programmer can 'infer' most of the important basic rules from looking at the existing code, whereas all this

Out of curiosity, how much of the 138K LUTs (as well as other resources like BRAM) are in use here? I wonder if there's much room to add fancy peripherals, or perhaps "growing" the CPU to achieve better IPC.

But that just raises more questions; why would Cognition be better positioned for B2B? Wouldn't Cursor have an advantage as they already have a foothold in the B2C market? Expanding from there seems a lot easier than coming for B2B dir

Is 86box period-accurate for Windows XP? It seems to go up to Socket 370 (Pentium III) which is very early for XP. Additionally, from my experience using PCem (which 86box is based on), you need pretty beefy hardware to emulate a Pentium II

I would say "kei" does pretty specifically refer to vehicles adhering to those Japanese regulations. I think "minitruck" or "compact truck" would be a better, more general name.

I guess modern crash safety does require decent crumple zones, but I'm not sure in how far Europe is different than North America in this. If anything, small vehicles aren't a thing in NA, but extremely popular still in Europe, ev

I don't think you understood what a "copilot" and a "HUD" is. Confusingly, GitHub Copilot (the original one that suggests completions) is basically a HUD. On the other hand, agents that you give a task are clearly c

Calling GC time "additional overhead" is not entirely correct, imo. Non-GC languages often spend plenty of time dealing with malloc/free, and I consider both GC and malloc/free to be "memory management". Both a

I feel like a massive counterexample here is embedded. Hardware companies tend to laugh at maintenance (it's expensive and extends the life of their products, so you don't have to give them money as often). If Linux was not GPL, m

I disagree, because there is no 'easy' way to know what the most 'significant' changes are. I can think of a few heuristics (e.g. most changed, earliest changed, as well as prioritizing things like header files for C and

Wouldn't it be feasible to add a tiny battery or capacitor? Assuming the radio doesn't need to transmit continuously it can be powered via those which are then powered by the "forever battery".

Why is giving precise instructions bad? I would expect LLMs to be pretty good at following instructions after three years of training them that way. Plus, if the instructions are precise enough and therefore each step is simple enough, I wo

What do you mean by Anthropic shifting their ordering? It seems to still be consistently Opus > Sonnet > Haiku. They didn't release 4 Haiku, but they also didn't release 3.5 Opus, and pricing wise Sonnet 4 lines up with earl

I believe that PyTorch already uses Triton; I recently tried to do torch.compile on a Windows machine and it did not work because the inductor backend relies on Triton.

Ollama serves multiple versions, you can get Q8_0 from it too: ollama run deepseek-r1:8b-llama-distill-q8_0 The real value from the unsloth ones is that they were uploaded before R1 appeared on Ollama's model list.

Calling a person by the wrong pronoun is insulting, simple as that. The social convention is: "I say 'he' if and only if the person in question is male". Thus, calling for instance a transgender woman 'he' or a
