What language is this? I'd expect a language with a ? -type would not use an Optional type at all. In languages such as OCaml, Haskell and Rust this of course works as you say.

I personally don't enjoy the MyObject? typing, because it leads to edge cases where you'd like to have MyObject??, but it's indistinguishable from MyObject?. E.g. if you have a list finding function that returns X?, then if y

Funny how how all the links, including the ones to their own pages, are routed through google.com/url, e.g. the link "Assets Available to Download". Usually tracking isn't quite this visible.

I mean no, you don't need to be open source at all. Just don't release the data and call the release "open weights". Or do release the data, and the training process, and call yourself "open source". Though, I

I think this is a fair take: > We currently do not support unprivileged use case (same as BPF). Basically, Rex extensions are expected to be loaded by privileged context only. As I understand it, in privileged context would be one where

So we are on agreement that "weights" are not source code. Training data might not also be actual "code", but it is source. After all, the model trained using that data tries to estimate its training data. It is the gr

> Open source means the source is available. Anything else is just political. Where was that defined so? And most of all, given the domain of information technology, who understand open source to cover cases where the source is available
189.
by _flux 10mo ago
It kind of is, though. You use some input material to produce the weights via some process, even if the weights might not become exactly the same every time you reproduce the process; the production of the weights isn't done by working

> But anyone can visually examine this. Can they? In principle it could be the difference between RGB 0.0,0.0,0.0 and RGB 0.004,0.0,0.0, that could be very difficult to visually see, but an algorithm could unmask the data with some corre

From the style of this article I expected that https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprwire and https://github.com/hyprwm/hyprtavern would have documentation, specification and perhaps a bunch of tests, but

Doesn't this just move the bucket: which processes should the OS grant access to that API? In any case, if the purpose is to make a backup of the system, it seems the possibility to read all and every file as original as possible seems

The key difference is what the GPT outlined: tuples have order for the fields and named tuples are not indexed by the name, but instead a field accessor is used, i.e. foo.bar vs foo["bar"]. In addition namedtuples can be indexed u

Wouldn't ref-counting CPython already know that a has a single reference, allowing this optimization without needing any particular smart JIT?

I suppose it would be possible to design the ring so that any pillowing would occur only in outwards expansion.

How much rechargeability really requires from hardware point of view? I suppose the problem is that there are no standard for tiny magnetic chargers/cables. Every watch comes with their own, and they need be custom designed. For a devi

If you really want to do this, you should probably ask for a plan first and review it.

I don't think it would be typical to depend on exception handling when dealing with boundary conditions with C++ containers. I mean .at is great and all, but it's really for the benefit of eliminating undefined behavior and if the

Looking Glass displays (not the "hololuminescent" ones) solve many of the same things (multiple viewers, no glasses) while looking good, and in principle you could build a cube out of them, although the display can't be seen

I know the process is there, but I really, really doubt it does anything else than just uses OpenSCAD code to render the mesh, as FreeCAD can also deal with meshes. I think it would be pretty unlikely that the FreeCAD devs would have implem

Hm, at least build123d (which I had never heard of, thanks!) can export STEP, which I believe is becoming a necessity if one wants to assemble real-world models with FreeCAD (and nicely also slicers are picking up support to it). I'm o

I believe LLMs ultimately cannot learn new ideas from their input in the same way as they can learn it from their training data, as the input data doesn't affect the weights of the neural network layers. For example, let's say LLM

Unison could be one of the more popular programs written in OCaml. This sort of lead into trouble at one time, as the author chose to use the OCaml serialization of data as the protocol, so synchronization between 32- and 64-bit platforms o

Windows works in SteamDeck, so I think it seems highly likely that Valve will provide the drivers for this device as well.

Well, doesn't seem the issue would have been avoidable other than with "harder thinking" or better testing or something like that. Maybe model checkers could be used, but perhaps the search space is too large for all the feat

sudo-rs tries to be more or less a drop-in replacement for the original one, though, meaning minimal reconfiguration should be required for it.

Everything to do with reimplementing sudo, though. But sudo has its share of CVEs as well (latest CVE-2025-32463), so perhaps a fresh look on the tool is warranted; perhaps some learnings have been taken from it.
