I think it's a pedantic distinction. Affording something always implied some level of comfort: you wouldn't say you can afford the car if you are paying most of your spare income on it, even if you can pay for it technically. Spen

My point was that people would be just fine if it's only the food and gas going up since nominal wages are also increasing, and you have some degree of choice to eat cheaper things. The part that tends to break it is the increases in h

I'm not sure gas and eggs is the problem here. When people say cost of living, most of it is just rent or mortgage. To this end, I'm not sure if either party would be willing to do anything, as it primarily benefits the property-o

With the number of cards I have in Anki, something like this is going to fill up my inbox. Recent Anki versions ship a much more advanced algorithm called FSRS which performs much better (fewer reviews for the same recall). If you haven&#x2

I don't think privilege escalation is a big concern on most personal systems. If you run any malicious code, even unprivileged, you're basically already screwed anyways since the code can access all of your home, upload it, delete

qwq went through a two screenfuls of tokens to try all primes under 123 twice, but eventually gave the right answer.

It is slower, but I would say fairly usable for just LLM inference (still much faster than you can read). I'd say it's more of a matter of control. You can be reasonably sure that your linux box is free from ordinary forms of tele

You're also going to want some more SSD space, because working with these model files on a 512 GB root is going to quickly become a problem. If you get the 2TB option, that's another $600.

A 3090 often goes for $800-900 on the used market in the US. Two of these would be $1800, and you get a much more versatile machine. However, the downside is also obvious, since your two 3090s can draw up to 800 W, and there's no chanc

Macs that can run it are quite a bit more expensive than a 3090. GPUs can also do finetuning and run other models with larger batch sizes which Macs would struggle with. Also, for the models that fit both, an nvidia card can run it much fas

32B is a good choice of size, as it allows running on a 24GB consumer card at ~4 bpw (RTX 3090/4090) while using most of the VRAM. Unlike llama 3.1, which had 8b, 70B (much too big to fit), and 405B.

Given the abundance of elements, Carbon-based life with water as liquid is probably the most likely.

If anything, Emacs users are probably much more likely to inspect the code of whatever extension they are using, since with every help page there is a link to the source code. It helps that it's much less popular and so not as big of a

True, but you only hear about the ones who slipped up. I wonder what is the actual proportion of criminals being caught due to poor opsec.

A data center is also easier to place near a source of renewable/non emitting power generation. Harder to move entire cities around.

Wayland's scaling for 1.25x and even 1.5x is not so great either, though it is slowly going in the right direction with wp-fractional-scale-v1

For the money for a 4070ti, you could have bought a 3090, which although less efficient, can run bigger models like Qwen2.5 32b coder. Apparently it performs quite well for code

IIRC Google maps basically does not make money. I wonder if there can be a government deal to subsidize it on the condition that the data be open sourced.

Apple is creating a large marketplace where it controls everything. It can be argued that the 30% tax is probably reducing the amount of useful software being produced, as is the case with other store rules like browser engine restrictions.

The more obvious reason is that colder places do not get as many freeze-thaw cycles. It simply stays frozen for a few months. In contrast, much of the northeast experiences many more freeze-thaw cycles since even in the winter it is warm en

A problem is that your sources may have substantially different flowrates. One source can fill up the feed by posting a lot, which is a problem with RSS if you use it to subscribe to any high volume blog.

In GrapheneOS, you can set it to as little as 10 minutes, with the default being 18 hours. That would be a lot more effective for this type of data exfiltration scenario.

You can't have it both ways. You can either own your data and secure it yourself or you can entrust it to someone else and hope they don't leak it (they will). A lot of the data is already stored in your computer anyways, such as
