   Same restriction with cuckoo filters. Are there any better than bloom filters without this restriction?

   So is this a "serverless" named-pipe-as-a-service cloud offering? Or am I misreading?

   Out-of-the-box Linux distributions give me a desktop notification when my 17-year-old MX mouse (connected via unifying dongle) is low on battery. Does anyone know how to get this on Windows? Nothing worse than the battery dying mid-use.

   It’s not just a soldering iron needed. I replaced the switches on my 17-year-old Logitech MX Revolution and on a newer Performance MX and the old switches are completely impossible to remove from the PCB without snipping away at them and a

   This only decreases memory cost of input context window, not the memory cost to load and run the models.

   I came to comment the same thing, having clicked through from the link and not seen the OP’s text. In my case, I searched for and found the GitHub link at the bottom of the landing page and saw the language in the repo details. Please add “

   If you’re lucky enough to structure your entire app in advance to keep in mind how sync signals are delivered, you can ususllly get away with only setting an atomic Boolean, incrementing an atomic int, or setting a binary semaphore.

   In fish-shell we have to forego using the niceties of the rust standard library and make very carefully measured calls to libc posix functions directly, with extra care taken to make sure so memory used (eg for formatting errors or strings)

   I've been using gemini-exp-1206 and I notice a lot of similarities to the new gemini-2.0-flash-exp: they're not that much actually smarter but they go out of their way to convince you they are with overly verbose "reasoning

    It doesn’t make sense to me because if we can borrow capacity to perform calculations then we can “borrow” an infinite amount of energy.

    Who is “we” and why do we need it in a “simple” language prone to memory errors where people have to non-portably reinvent every wheel? Signed, someone that writes and distributes apps/tools written in “less simple” languages and apps&

    Instead of a copy icon, it would be better to just generate the entire content as plaintext in the result (not in an html div on a rich html page) so the entire url could be used as an attachment or its contents piped directly into an agent

    I’ve found that it’s entirely too easy to get inconsistent (i.e. self-conflicting) output in the same response from when the likes of gpt4o when you require reasoning and logical deduction on topics completely or mostly alien to it and not

    NTFS has per-folder case sensitivity flag. You could set it online at anytime prior to Windows 11, but as of 11 you can now only change it on an empty folder (probably due to latent bugs they didn’t want to fix). NTFS had mediocre compressi

    I’m a die-hard ZFS fan and heavy user since the Solaris days (and counting) but I believe the WinBtrfs project is in better (more useable) shape than the OpenZFS for Windows project.

    You don’t need to look that far. Many of us here lived through the introduction of NTFS and did live migrations from FAT32 to NTFS in the days of Windows 2000 and Windows XP. I still remember the syntax: convert C: /fs:ntfs

    Having a consistent log is sufficient with an atomic compare operation is sufficient for a distributed database but its performance will be extremely questionable. CAS is always the slow step, in this case, pathologically slow. The magic is

    Yes, that’s what I gathered from the code. But I was proposing it as an “easy” solution that doesn’t involve throwing away OP’s main idea.

    I have been a huge (but lonely) proponent of C# and rust being the best two-language combo. But once (someday! Soon they say!) first-class discriminated union support lands, it’ll be the ideal recommendation for anyone that wants to get awa

    False start with car rental companies, only three, not four. Hertz has to be a unit then, making the first group hertz, second, mole, and volt. Similarly, enterprise must be in the business sense. Enterprise, project, venture, endeavor. Tig
