Why bother mentioning this model? From what I've seen, it only excels at benchmarks. Qwen3 is sorta where its at right now; Qwen3-Coder is pretty much at "summer intern" level for coding tasks, and its ahead of the rest. Sham

From what I've seen, in areas that you can make anonymous reports, the cops don't do anything. For example, judges generally won't issue warrants just because an anonymous phone call claimed something. Again, don't let a

It works because they exported it. VAR=foo bar only sets it for the env passed to that exec or subshell, export VAR=foo && bar adds it to the current env then executes bar. export VAR=foo && bar is dangerous because it stay

The correct path of action would be, if you have children, to have the correct kind of lawyer on retainer already. This is the unfortunately reality we have. You do not speak with the police, you calmly but firmly inform them that they can

So you're saying that members of Congress can finally catch up to the rest of America with technological help? Although that might be true, they're scared of computers. They only recently mastered the fax machine, but can't f

It is on Nvidia. Nvidia's code generation for Vulkan kind of sucks, it also effects games. llama.cpp is almost as optimal as it can be on the Vulkan target; it uses VK_NV_cooperative_matrix2, which turning that off loses something like

Yes, I'm aware. I use OpenZFS, and have so for almost a decade. The kernel modules can never be merged into mainline due to license differences. The kernel modules would have to be reimplemented to change the license from CDDL to GPL.

ZFS already took off, though. The largest data pools in existence that are on an actual filesystem are on ZFS, nothing else can handle them. And it's only the kernel part that needs the rewrite, the userspace stuff is fine. Btrfs was s

Already hug of death?

by DiabloD3 1y ago
I honestly don't think Btrfs is ever going to take off. We're better off just making a clean room implementation of ZFS, and just go with the better technical solution. Meta, although morally bankrupt, _usually_ makes sane technic

I get the joke you two are making, but I've seen what academics have written in Python. Somehow, its worse than what academics used to write when Java was taught has the only language for CompSci degrees. At least Java has types and ca

Yes it does. ROCm support for new chips, due to being available for paid support contracts, comes like 1-2 months after the chip comes out (ie, when they're 100% sure it works with the current, also new, driver). I'd rather it wor

Largely Vulkan. Microsoft internally is a huge consumer of DirectML for specifically the LLM team doing Phi and the Copilot deployment that lives at Azure.

CUDA largely was Nvidias attempt at swaying Khronos and Microsoft's DirectX team. In the end, Khronos went with something based on a blend of AMD's and Nvidia's ideas, and that became Vulkan, and Microsoft just duplicated the

CUDA isn't really used for new code. Its used for legacy codebases. In the LLM world, you really only see CUDA being used with Triton and/or PyTorch consumers that haven't moved onto better pastures (mainly because they only

Although it is open, its really just all code borrowed from llama.cpp. If you want to see where the actual developers do the actual hard work, go use llama.cpp instead.

UWP most certainly did not exist when WinRT came into existence. WinRT, itself, is also more or less the third version of this attempt: Managed C++ came first, then C++/CLI, then the WinRT era and C++/CX. C++/CLI and C++&#x2F

Windows Terminal is sort of a clusterfuck of multiple programs, only one of which is a UWP program (the actual visible WinUI shell that runs) which you're not allowed to do as a UWP-era Microsoft Store app, but they got internal permis

The taskbar exists in its own timeline, apparently. (Ex-)Microsoft engineers working in the UI/UX team for Windows itself have spoken about how much of a nightmare dealing with that thing was. Also, the taskbar technically exists as a

This is incorrect: Alacritty does not have significant lag on old hardware. I suspect you actually meant "hardware that does not have (what is colloquially called) 3D acceleration". That said, I agree with Terminal elitism being w

They already do, though. The big UI refresh in Win10 is all XAML, and the new Win11 taskbar (the one we all hate) is now a totally normal XAML app. WinUI 3's big changes (to get a 3.0 version number) is not with the XAML stack itself,

You have that backwards. WinRT is the managed languages runtime for Windows, introduced in Win8. Its sort of the replacement for COM/OLE but also defines the ABI dialect in a way that allows managed languages to call unmanaged code wit

I have not seen it yet, however I have heard favorable responses about it. The responses have largely been that Dave's theory is basically a near-complete summary of science that doesn't include roughly the past 5ish years of scie

Because they want to sell you a Retina(tm) monitor. I wish I was making a joke. Roll back to a version of OSX that predates Retina, and _all_ of your monitors get the expected Mac-like font rendering, Retina or not. Go to 10.7 or newer, and

That's not the "big difference" you're looking for, though. I'm the tech person in the lives of many normal people, and they ask me, "Hey, why does Google search suck now? How do I turn off this AI thing that k
