Modern ROM is not locked in stone. For example, Flash memory is considered a modern, advanced type of Read-Only Memory (ROM), specifically a specialized form of Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), and can be re-wri

It's a suprisngly apt analogy, considering with Arch you are always compiling ...

At last ... realistic expectations! "I estimated that starting and finishing this project would take me 2 years, with a 99% chance of it never being finished. So I just hung paintings instead"

This should get more attention - those decompression requirements are a massive impost.

Pretty sure he means this: - assume heads beats tails - if both players get opposite results (HT, TH) then the winner is obvious - if both players get heads, player A is the winner - if both players get tails, player B is the winner.

You made the right call. Very interesting article and great to hear about the history of game development that isn't focussed on the US market.

Must be incredibly rewarding seeing your game rebuilt. Fantastic bit of history too - I had no idea games were being made for the Amiga in Baghdad!

Haven't read that one yet, but his Children of Time series is sooo good.

I think the key call out with this is how cool egui is (the Rust GUI library it uses). Check out their website: https://www.egui.rs/ The demos are very good: https://www.egui.rs/#clock Edit: egui is an imme

Yup ... still have some old 'xover' cables lying around - all of which are RED in colour to explicitly declare their usage

I guess that's a decent analogy, except the vast majority of people aren't building their own models.

That's a solid success rate!

by abrookewood 1mo ago
I don't understand who this is targeted at. You can download the models, clone the datasets free. Who is paying them and why?

Can someone help me out - who pays for things on HF? Are they charging the model providers?

The M1 was genuinely a big step forward, but what has followed, not so much. I have an M5 Pro with 48GB of RAM and it is genuinely good ... but that's about it. I love the battery life, appreciate the hardware, but find the OS to be an

That's clever and entertaining. Have you actually enjoyed any of them?

I'm in the same position ... just got my first mac, love the hardware, but man, I don't know why everyone is so smug about the software - it has a fairly similar number of annoyances as Windows (not qiute as much, but it's cl

Could be completely off base, but isn't this the equivalent of polling a Provider's commit log or distributed log? So accessing a third party's Apache Kafka?

That soundtrack is absolutely perfect.

OK, so apparently YouTube was not a good example !

Not sure that this is universally true. Youtube, Uber, Airbnb and others all have massive first-mover advantages.

Of course they are. Can't let OpenAI steal all the spotlight. "Look! Our models are master hackers too!"

Yeah, genuinely sad when he passed. He's not the most influential person in computing, but for some reason, he was the one person I most wanted to meet. Probably the way he presented himself. Seemed like a genuinely good guy.

Sorry, what is stylus? I'd love to get that configured. Those pop-ups are damn annoying.
