Give 3.5 or 3.6 a shot. 3.5 has smaller models that you could leverage. If you can swing it, though, 3.6 27B is quite good.

They are actually quite a bit better than you might think. Qwen3.6 27B is pretty capable at coding. For non-coding work, they are more than good enough. A lot of the ways my non-technical family members have interacted with AI would be pe

The myth of the stock market was that value was tied to the performance or potential of the company whose ownership you were taking a part of.

This all assumes there was some skill involved. Instead, this along with gamestop and a few other meme stocks are showing that the stock market simply isn't as rational as finance experts have wanted to pretend. This is a bitcoin stoc

As of Java 24 (Java 25 being an LTS) I'd say they are equivalent. You can use a virtual thread just like you use a regular thread and there's basically no handicaps or gotchas. In Java 21, when they were released, there is a got

Are you using an SSD? That does make a pretty big difference. Also, make sure you are setup to use proprietary firmware. IDK if fedora does that by default. For my laptop I was running without it for a bit and things were definitely a bi

At least part of this is going to be the resolutions at play. In windows 95 era you were dealing with 640x480 resolutions. Maybe 1024x768. Modern displays are doing a lot more than that. 1920x1080 at a minimum. Beyond that, in windows 95

If you are someone that mostly likes the Windows 7/10 experience, KDE out of the box is basically that. It's more customizable. It's (IMO) less clunky and less burdened by legacy components. But it really just feels like w

It seems they've been stopping short of completion. Once the next gen chip is released, they are done and stop working on fixing issues. Hopefully, with some time this gets better as it's not like they have to start from scratch

Not as much as you might think. We've found amino acids almost everywhere we look, including astroids [1]. It seems that the building blocks of life pretty naturally and readily form. Which is a pretty strong indicator that life is li

The law gives very few liberties. And the places where people think it give liberties, it is actually just banning laws from being made around liberties. Freedom of speech is the peak of this. People think it means "I can say whateve

Depends entirely on how he's employed. If it's his own private practice then yeah, he pockets a lot of that 250k. If he's working for a hospital, then he has basically no influence on the price he's not payed per surger

Show me the AV1, H.265, or even H.264 decoder that doesn't ultimately rely heavily on hand written assembly to achieve "fast enough". You can doubt all you like. Ultimately, there's a reason why dav1d includes hand code

I've wondered why desal hasn't also paired up with ocean mineral extraction. It seems like the two would go well together. Even when talking about RO, you'd think diverting all or part of the brine water for evaporation woul

It's the chief complaint put forward by fox news. It's just a blatant lie. I've experienced healthcare outside the US (in the UK) and it's on par with US healthcare in terms of wait times. Seeing a GP was same day with

That's part of the problem, but we also have a problem with limited medical schools in general and with those schools charging through the nose because of that scarcity. I have a nephew training to be a doctor now. He's looking a

> As rav1d shows rav1d is not a full rewrite of dav1d to rust. So it really doesn't show that. It's currently C + rust + asm. I don't think we can say anything about what this does or does not prove about the performance

Yeah, forgot to mention that in my comment. Tools are all built around non-rx workflows. That means doing things like performance work is a lot harder. Especially because RX is working on message passing it can be really tricky to figure

Just what your coworkers said, it's hard to maintain. It still has it's application but it's quite hard to ultimately work with. For example, if something throws an exception, if you didn't setup the pipeline correctly

Encoder and decoder writers frequently need extremely fine grain control over SIMD instructions in order to get good performance. The way they weave these instructions can be very hard to express with a high level language. Further, there&#

Other than needing more RAM, all the hardware that works for Win 7 will work with Windows 10 and 11. Most software should as well. Windows 7 drivers are compatible with windows 10 and 11 so there really isn't a reason you couldn'

AMD isn't giving away free stuff. They are selling FPGA hardware. But further, the free stuff has a lot of restrictions around it which practically gear it only for university usage. And the reason they do that is they want to have

IDK where it's at now, but 15 years ago xilinx was some of the most garbage software I'd ever worked with. Super buggy, constantly corrupting itself, and this was for me just doing university level projects. God speed if you can
