Thanks, and yea, you're right. Their top-level copy muddies the waters on this and makes it sound like what I wrote, but indeed, from their datasheet: > The ARCHSEL register has one bit for each processor socket, so it is possible t

This report is for immigrant visas. H-1B visas are not immigrant visas and are the ones that require the stamp renewal in the home country. That being said, yes, the way the current administration handles immigrant visas, worker visas, and

GitHub literally went all in on doing almost nothing but AI-related feature additions for Copilot. So they built their own prison. I don't have sympathy for them. They have disrupted my work so much in the past month that it's rid

What does IBM actually do? I just can never understand their business and operating model. It seems like they just do a bunch of random stuff and sell to the most enterprisey of enterprises.

To my understanding, the RP2350 has two ARM cores and two RISC-V cores, the two pairs are separate, and only one architecture can be used at a time on the chip.

You mentioned, emphasis mine: > benefit wide areas of the human experience So no, I don't think founding companies has much to do with the wide human experience. It's actually a pretty rare thing. And I argue that most startu

That's not what he is arguing, though, is it?

While I agree the comment will rub the startup groupies the wrong way, I don't really think the question itself is unsubstantial, especially in comparison to the post, as the post does not address the question. And I elaborated in resp

I didn't argue anything. I only pointed out that your statement was incorrect as stated.

How? Doesn't it just basically host files? I barely know what it is other than to download models other people produce.

That's isn't true globally. For example, see here: https://www.ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/2024/september/global-c... > Agricultural land area expanded 7.6 percent between 1961 and 2020 and currentl

Trees alone aren't enough. For example, ecosystems like the Amazon rainforest are highly balanced ecosystems that are in a perpetual recursive loop. You can't tear them down and then rebuild them by just planting trees. The rainfa

Which exact model are you running? With only 48GB of RAM, by the time I got a model small enough, it was pretty bad in performance both in speed and reasoning.

Terminal programs are GUIs. So you are using a GUI to access those remote systems. Thus, there's no reason why another GUI couldn't do the same. Everyone always acts like GUIs couldn't possibly make HTTP requests, interact ov

It isn't LLMs in general, from what I can tell. It was how this port was done and communicated.

Maybe they should have planned on that when they went all in on Copilot stuff several years ago? Even the GitHub organization is under the larger Cloud/AI organization at Microsoft. Further, it is clear that Microsoft and GitHub have b

Or Perforce. Perforce, in my experience, just worked. It also has sane conceptual names for things, a good CLI, SDKs, visual tools, cool features like workspaces that Git completely lacks, etc.

Git is absolutely miserable without things that GitHub, GitLab, and others provide, and there's still a huge ceiling to grow into in terms of layering on UX on top of Git. In my opinion, Git is holding software development back. Git
