That's a different conversation than the one I'm having. I haven't made any argument against making new things. I'm saying "Django, but different" isn't for agents. It makes agents work harder, in general.

Just because they can doesn't mean inventing a new framework "for agents" is going to be superior to letting agents use what's in their training data. I suspect it'll be worse, but the time/resources needed to

Inventing a new thing "for agents" always feels counter-productive. Your new thing isn't in the training data, so you have to teach it how to use your thing. Why not use tech that's already in the training data? Agents k

I think that speaks to them not understanding at the time the opportunity they were missing out on by not shipping a CUDA-like thing to everyone, including consumer tech. The question is what'll it look like in a few years now that the

Is it really that short? This support matrix shows ROCm 7.2.1 supporting quite old generations of GPUs, going back at least five or six years. I consider longevity important, too, but if they're actively supporting stuff released in 20

Pretty sure the correction is wrong, not merely a stylistic choice.

X restricts what you can view without logging in. Many folks don't want to log in to X, for obvious reasons. Posting an xcancel link is kinda like folks posting various `archive` URLs to bypass paywalls, work around overloaded servers,

I'm not saying it is or isn't written by an LLM, but, Yegge writes a lot and usually well. It somehow seems unlikely he'd outsource the front page to AI, even if he's a regular user of AI for coding and code docs.

There's a lot of retirement funds tied up in heavily AI-exposed stocks. A crash, which seems inevitable to me, will hit the public pretty hard.

This has to be a bit. You can't possibly believe Musk's fantasies after a couple decades of hilarious (and occasionally dangerous) lies.

This is a remarkably ignorant take. Literally every detail is wrong. They aren't major chords, they're mostly power chords, which are neither major nor minor (no third and the third provides the major/minor tonality). They of

"The old doctrine was that CO2 was a proxy for air quality" That's not accurate, though. CO2 is, on its own, an air quality concern. It has also been known, or at least part of the conversation, since Florence Nightingale&#x2

How is that new information "challenging old ventilation doctrine"? It confirms old ventilation doctrine: monitoring CO2 remains a good proxy for general air quality, including viral and bacterial threats, and reducing CO2 via ven

If transparency were taken seriously, that wouldn't be an easy task. And, if it were multi-state, either via multiple states having such an organization or via a collaboration of states and organizations who don't all agree about

I always liked the reddits (Steve and Alexis), but I'm not overly fond of what reddit has become. And, I fear the beatings will continue until morale improves. I just don't think the incentives are aligned with building a good com

I work on Virtualmin, and have for nearly two decades; most of that time as both a commercial product and Open Source project. It is an extremely competitive market, and it is a shrinking market. We've had about 150,000 active server

And, it emulates two SID chips and has multiple modes (6581 and 8580), so it seems like a pretty darned good deal, honestly. Real SIDs are pretty pricey these days, and they aren't making any more of them, so they will keep climbing in
