It's absolutely manufactured! And labeled as 130 volts. Of course, people use them on 120 volt systems, but of course, they still work. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Feit-Electric-40-Watt-Soft-White... https:/

Yes, the 130 volt bulb lasts longer when operated on 120 volts. My family would buy these when I was kid. Some probably non-LLM explanations: https://blog.1000bulbs.com/home/why-buy-130-volt-light-bulbs https:/&#

'Good' news, there seems to be nothing new architecture-wise. Same as Qwen 3.5 and 3.6, so llama.cpp doesn't know the difference.

Hey Sam, does 0.34 watt-hours per query include an amortization of the energy consumed to train the model, or only the marginal energy consumed by inference? I used to believe this wasn't worth considering (because while training is en

It's not only notifications, it's permissions (that the app won't work until you accept) to track your location, exfiltrate your contact list, and so forth. It's an invasion of privacy. It should not be required to, e.g.

It's definitely true with KDE Plasma. If you squint at a KDE Plasma desktop, you see a Windows Start menu and System Tray. The similarity is more vague with GNOME (3) and Mac OS, IMO.

Great idea. Is the companion app open-source and free of tracking/surveillance? Does it work with no internet connectivity? Is the BMS communication protocol open, so one could write their own client for it? How about the BMS firmware

The "Operating System" section of the article touches on this. Most of Framework's employees use Linux, to the extent that the CEO himself runs Windows, to shake out any glitches with Windows support. [0] It's a tiny mom
