Maybe just having a confidence weight assigned to each sentence the LLM generates, reflected in tooltips or text coloring, would be a big improvement.

Of course the LLM is bullshitting the user. That's precisely its purpose: LLMs are tools that generate comprehensible sounding language based on probability models that describe what words/tokens tend to be found in proximity t

There are open-source libraries like AdPlug ( https://adplug.github.io/ ) that offer really good OPL3 emulation. If you have the MIDI assets from the original game, it might be possible to get the original AdLib soundtrack w

Most Linux distros do that. The AUR, for example, has packages for MS fonts, Apple fonts, and many others, all of which extract the fonts from public redistributable packages.

I suspect that the term "cartridge" being used for 8-track shells may be the source of "cartridge" describing the packages that ROM-based games came in, especially given the resemblance between 8-track cases and those of

The entire article is so thoroughly Japan-centric that if this isn't being said explicitly, it doesn't need to be. None of these products were ever on the US market.

Concluding that it's not intentional depends on the premise that they don't know they're doing it, which seems unlikely.

Another American here -- never heard "next best" meaning anything other than second-best to what you're currently looking at. "Next big thing" is commonly used and unambiguously means what's intended here.

I respect that, and I hope you get to that point! As a tech leader in a organization that currently falls short of the scale we'd need to justify Oxide products, I'm hoping that day comes soon. We're getting to the point whe

I'll listen to that, thanks. But I'm not sure I can relate to the criticism you're levying here, because I don't expect that anyone's motivations would ever be "for the betterment of the average person", n

None of this has anything to do with technology itself, though. All tools used by humans will be put to the purposes that those humans bear. The positive power we were attributing to the technology itself back in the '90s was really j

In this regard, I see a lot of projects aiming to "optimize user experience" that are actually optimizing for imaginary users at the expense of real ones. GNOME is a great example of this -- they're constantly removing functi

Have you thought of building an affordable small-scale product for home labs and maybe SMBs? Even if that line didn't turn a profit, it could function as a loss leader in getting engineers and consultants familiar with Oxide, and an o

Use a password manager, and put the master password in your will. Better yet, use keyfiles as a secondary option (I believe this is supported by all implementations of KeePass), and store a secure copy of the key file along with your will.

No, asciinema uses a custom data format to store the terminal data, then uses custom JS to play it back within a web site. I'm talking about just distributing ANSI files.

> Most people who use C nowadays are students, not "moderately skilled developers". That seems a very dubious claim, especially since most students begin with Python or JS. Do you have any data to back that up?

I'm not sure where you've been looking, but source tarballs have been available from both gnu.org and the GDB website for over 20 years, with every major release going back 30 years available for download.

One of the big downsides of most microblogging platforms (and social media in general) is that they consolidate everything into one undifferentiated aggregation, rather than facilitate the creation of many distinct bounded spaces. Tradition

Given the purpose of the tool, it seems like the most appropriate solution would be to use ANSI itself to animate the text.

Quick news is usually poor-quality news, and "life updates from people you follow" is another way of saying "pointless trivia from people you don't know actually know".

Just grabbed the source, and it's a pretty bog standard ./configure ; make. Simple build instructions in the readme. Not sure this is a daunting challenge for any even moderately skilled developer.
