I never understood the giant focus on side windows. If you want to see your components while you're using your PC, why not just build inside a transparent case, or build on a workbench/open style (caseless)

Rejected. You send me a pickle, I'll send it back. If your antivirus doesn't like pickles and wants safetensors, I'll return that email as well. (Physical mail with a pickle will also be returned to sender. I don't like

Suggest in the future not using LLM for random/placeholder data. Obvious placeholders work better (they're obvious. Obviously. Word fatigue, anyone?). For paragraph data that needs to be wrapped eventually, either use lorem ipsum

In practice, there's some bugs around this. There's no way to force Windows to update your password when you change it via Microsoft; I went through the password change due to Microsoft locking my Microsoft account, and Windows di

Being pseudonymous doesn't prevent you from using it to contact people you actually know offline. I used Steam to talk with my group members about a project in college a couple times. Other times I used Google chat/talk/wha

Eventually the spacers will depopulate the planet and we'll live alone. The robotics aren't quite there yet though.

I still pick on it, but I was never a big Twitter user, I just enjoy calling it Xitter. Picking on Elon Musk is for the shitty things he's been doing to our government and the world, and for being a bad person in general.

If this is all that's blocking you (not the fact that they don't want your business), you might have a friend who's been playing the T-Mobile free phone number game. I know some people with 4+ phone numbers they don't

Saying math (even using it in a dismissive tldr) is immensely helpful. Specifically, I've never encountered these terms before: - point cloud - fuzzy ellipsoid - view-dependent color - spherical harmonics - low order - differentiable r

I've seen it mentioned somewhere, probably here on HN, that the original thin scrollbar was implemented in Gnome, and that it only applied until you moved your cursor to it . If true, this sounds like a great innovation. Unfortunately

MDI in browsers isn't enforced though, you can still use each tab in it's own window, and (depending on your browser) you can open other sites in a sidebar (? Used to be possible) or split-tab (I think I've seen this in some

GPT2 at 774m is considered a LLM. I wouldn't say there's much difference between that and 700m, or even 123M. Having said that, looking up small language model these days returns tons of results calling 7B models small language mo

When I hit Win+L to lock my screen and come back 4 hours later to input my pin, I turn on my monitor (that I turned off because every 5 minutes Windows turns it on and off again), push esc or Ctrl a few times to clear off the image, and sta

Some of it may be unintentional. I've created issues directly through the `gh` CLI before, and issue templates don't show up there at all. If I haven't actually cloned the repo (or, more frequently, if I have a sparse checkou

I'm (somehow) no longer a goodreads editor, so I can't fix it for you, but there's a forum you can post in to say that you're not the person who wrote all those travel books and get your book detached from them.

When banned on steam, I believe you are still about to download and play your (offline) games. My understanding is that your account is effectively made read-only (blocked from purchasing, community, etc) and not removed entirely. Steam&#x2

It also seems odd that there's no discussion of using webhooks to replace the self-hosted runners for free, given that it would basically be working the same way. The only difference is who commits get attributed to, and where you go f

On Android, I used to be able to easily send text messages and now my contact from the dialer. Swipe to call, swipe the other way to text, long press to get the selector that shows the contact info button. Extremely useful: I only need one
