Anyone on the most recent LTS Kernel (6.18) with an older nvidia GPU will not have a good experience on Wayland. I have two machines with Pascal GPUs and: - The nvidia binary driver is shit with Wayland - The nvidia OSS driver does not sup

This is a good point, but my point is that they chose to get into this business. 1. Some people have no ethical problems making bombs. 2. Some people have an ethical problem with making bombs so do something else. 3. Some people have an eth

You are proposing that going from N companies chasing AGI to N-1 companies chasing AGI will have zero effect on when AGI happens?

I don't think we can stop it, but the people saying "this is happening and we should probably figure out what to do about it" are doing their best to accelerate it, which gives us less time to figure out what to do about it.

That would require multiplication to be non-commutative, right?

by aidenn0 4mo ago
That seems intuitively true given that most 32-bit numbers are composite, so if you have X = ab and aY < 2^32 and bY < 2^32: X × Y = X/a × aY = X/b × bY = Y × X = aY × X/a = bY × X/b Which is 6 pairs resulting in t

My impression is that AI didn't replace static code in this place; it replaced a person, who (hopefully) would have been suspicious about sending an account recovery code for e.g. "obamawhitehouse" to e.g. "bscurtu.alfam

If it's not about those things, then it's ineffective writing.

I wonder: what's the approximate market value on the bugs so far released?

The poem itself is elitist. If you leverage a broad social network, you are better than if you use AI.

So what's the kind of elitism that gets the point?

Aside from the fact that slapping an s-expression syntax on top of a language typically leaves you with a fairly crappy Lisp, that would also lack the excellent Common Lisp interop that Coalton has.

I agree 100% with this article. However I switched to NixOS several years ago. On the axes I most care about, NixOS is better than Gentoo. In particular, managing configurations in NixOS is really a breeze. No more merging diffs of rando

I have a close friend who absolutely would have taken a DC plan if it were offered, since he does not believe the city he works for will be able to meet its financial obligations. It was not offered. Granted I haven't talked retire

It also shows what category the notification was tagged with. An app that improperly tags notification categories gets one of two results from me: 1. Uninstall the app 2. If the app is non-optional for some reason, block all notifications.

They are not necessarily opposed, just in tension. A zealous guard of your attention will occasionally block something you would like to have seen. That being said, yes most notifications are garbage and should be blocked.

I just turn off all notifications for any app that sends me marketing notifications.

Many government employees have pensions. Most of the ones I know are also ... skeptical of the future solvency of those funds by the time they retire.

A good realtor will often not recommend the same contractors that they use for prepping a home for sale. The requirements for getting a home in saleable condition and getting a home in livable condition are not always the same. Instead t

My understanding that Japan is exceptional in this case; I've been told that houses in Japan depreciate about as fast as a quality roof, so e.g. a roof-replacement is not ever needed -- it's just time to build a new house.

It's more complicated than that. If you sell-to-buy then the tenure only affects the costs related to the purchase itself. I suspect many homeowners live in a house they own for much more than 20 years. I've owned since 2007, b

Nix mostly does not guarantee deterministic output. It rather guarantees deterministic inputs, and then sandboxes the system to inhibit the build from accessing the outside world. Deterministic inputs do not always imply deterministic outp

A lot of places did over-hire, but I'm suspicious that those places will successfully cut the fat rather than the muscle.

At work once someone dockerized a service that needed read access to NFS. The default for a docker image is to run as root, which would mean it was effectively "nobody" when reading over NFS. For the typical case of world-readabl

Kind of a non-issue when we won't let them stay. I know several Chinese nationals who: received STEM degrees in the US, really wanted to stay, but struggled to get a visa and ended up back in China.
