I think they're quite good. Great for movies / games, I could use them for text but I'd probably zoom the editor a bit - a full work day in them would probably be Too Much. Really convenient for being able to plug into headle

Cool app, I'll give it a try. Thanks for sharing, and I definitely appreciate feeling the need for an alternative to Lex (which is sad! they took VC money then had to hypergrowth or die, my prediction is that it will be the latter tbh)

Did you actually check it? Sonnet 3.5 generates text that seems legitimate and generally correct, but misreads important details. LLMs are particularly deceptive because they will be internally consistent - they'll reuse the same incor

fwiw, you can enable this on Windows too with a simple command: https://techdirectarchive.com/2023/10/08/how-to-enable-a-pre... It isn't enabled by default likely because it makes updates more of a manua

Hm, this shouldn't be the case, something Odd is happening here. Normally restarting the app should do it, though on Windows it is easy to think you restarted the app when you really just closed the main window and reopened it (you nee

I'm surprised the call to WriteProcessMemory or creating suspended processes isn't being picked up, it usually gets you a lot of points on the "Detect binary as malware heuristic" detector

I suspect that it is legal fears tbh - it is almost certain that if AMD or anyone else tried to make some kind of CUDA compatibility, nVidia would pretty fiercely sue them into the ground. This is almost certainly why both Intel and AMD bai

Here's a real, actual bug that we had in the old Slack for Mac app (which was Webkit-based, so effectively the same approach as Tauri et al) - some users, only on older versions of macOS, report that whenever they paste in a YouTube li

I cannot describe how Bad an idea it is to try to rely on the OS-provided web browser. We chose Electron at Slack, partly because of the numerous unfixable bugs with Slack for Mac for people on downlevel operating systems, and that was just

Hit the nail on the head. This is a bald-faced attempt to suppress LGBTQ people from public life - even the possibility that content could fall under KOSA will make studios / businesses deem Queer content or characters to be "to
