The bazaar doesn’t work like this. There are no incentives to support old hardware. If there are enough people with old hardware, their activity might be enough to do something. Otherwise — puff, gone. Open source is already a miracle. The

Python is eating the world. However, all programming jobs outside of research will be slowly but surely automated away. Research will stay.

There are a lot of exciting jobs that require knowledge of Fortran (nuclear security, hydrodynamics, climate modeling, astrophysics etc).

For my tests, Mistral-based models writing was excellent, particularly with zephyr-7b-beta and starling-7b-alpha derivatives (original Mistral is somewhat too dry). Far better than everything before in OSS (including 70B models), and certai

Mistral derivatives have barely any guardrails.

Good points; I am, however, also interested in how to work effectively with someone who doesn’t like me.

Ctrl-F, "The Martian" "Phrase not found" But... how? This is exactly the same story that happened in the book. Since Spirit is older is the book, perhaps this was the real-life inspiration.

This, and also you print coloring books, math quizzes, puzzles, and everything else. Yes, these things are available on tablets too, but I think working with pencils and paper is also important.

We already have autonomous weapons: mines. The new ones will just come closer on their own. Like torpedoes already do. I don’t understand what is the big deal, autonomous weapons are already used and obviously will be used later much more o

In fact, Mistral is so exciting that I think it has some direct relationship to the topic of this discussion (they still don’t talk about how they trained it, at all). Perhaps there was some, how to say it, unexpected technology transfer, w

"This item is not available in your country" The country in question is Switzerland, probably the richest country in Europe, where many people would have bought it on spot. Regional restrictions are so stupid.

Also, there are numerous plugins for many languages that work in many Jetbrains IDEs. Choice is good; lack of choices and unification is not that good.

It is telling that all comments here are focused on the merits or faults of metaverse, instead of focusing on the actual message: Silicon Valley does not understand the concept of fun, games, and leisure time. It can be seen everywhere.

There are definitely no less libraries for C++. I am a scientific software engineer, and occasionally I do develop new things. And Rust makes writing new system-level software way harder, which I don't understand, as it is a system-lev

1. Option 1 quickly degrades into unrefactorable mess of TypedArenas, nested Rc<RefCell>>, lifetime annotations everywhere, and the like. It is unmanageable, which is why even libraries like PetGraph do not use it. 2. No, I don&#x2
