Speaking of model killers, can they do “wine glass completely full to the top” yet? That‘s the one I used to show people but I haven’t tried it in a while.

When the comparison is literally every other cloud provider who all charge by usage only, then anything more than $0.00 is in my opinion too much to ask for. I’ve been using cloud services in one way or another from different providers (inc

I was just mentioning this in another comment earlier today, but Claude Opus 4.8 (that version specifically) uses the word “genuinely” on so many of its responses that I’ve started using it often when speaking when I didn’t before. Nothing

That and I’m not sure why they rebooted the server every time instead of just changing the flags…

As soon as I saw the phrase “belt-and-suspenders” I immediately thought Claude, as it uses it constantly, but maybe so does ChatGPT.

by einsteinx2 4mo ago
Or “belt-and-suspenders”. Was already getting lots of AI generated vibes from the article before that, but I’ve seen Claude constantly use that phrase and no real person ever in my life (though I guess some people must have or LLMs wouldn’t

That’s a perspective on the AUR that I hadn’t really seen before from Arch advocates, in my (admittedly hazy memory) it’s usually mentioned in the sense of “Arch is great because you always get the latest packages in the official repos and

by einsteinx2 4mo ago
No because there’s no way to handle an open submission repository at all. It’s impossible by design since anyone can submit packages to it. I would never use anything equivalent to AUR on any distro due to the obvious security implications.

Yeah I was gonna say I use Colima with Apple’s virtualization framework (it’s not the default for some reason but it’s a single command line flag), and found it works better than QEMU (better performance and resolved some bugs I was running

I did some searching. I assume you mean “Relics: Einstein's Brain (1994)”? If so, it doesn’t look like it was ever released on anything but VHS, so I only found a TV recording and a VHS recording.

What movie was it? There’s a good chance I can find it. If you’re in Reddit, there’s also a subreddit dedicated specifically to this kind of thing (requests for stuff that is no longer available) called /r/DHExchange

That iMac should easily run Linux, why not install it? Also I don’t know what else to call hardware that’s still working great 14 years later except for longevity…

I’ve been programming since well before LLMs and I never learned well from programming books. It just wasn’t the right format for me. I always learned by picking a project at the edge of my ability and just going for it, looking things up a

I don’t really use Twitter so I’ve never used it via the bot, I’ve only ever used it via the web app. I bounced back and forth between Grok and Perplexity for web search type tasks and at least for the moment am preferring Grok mostly becau

by einsteinx2 5mo ago
I keep hearing this statement, and it always makes me wonder if people have actually used Grok… I have a Claude Max plan I use for coding, but I also have a Grok Lite plan I use for web search type tasks (similar to Perplexity) because I li

Looks very similar to IINA in design (to be clear I like IINA), so I’ll check it out!

It’s actually extremely useful for DJ’s listening to their music collection. I always miss being able to adjust the bpm when listening to some of my songs that I always play a lot faster or slower than they’re produced.

I was in fact not aware of it until seeing your comment, this looks potentially perfect for a tool I’m making that involves financial data. I’m pretty on top of LLM news but I’ve never heard of this company, maybe they need more marketing?

My daily driver for the past 20 years or so has been a Mac, doing everything from software development to music production to general computer use. I’ve never had to use the CLI to turn off Apple DRM to install software. I use the Homebrew

After some searching apparently it means “congestion control algorithm”. Definitely should have been defined in the article, especially since they have a whole section dedicated to explaining what it is.

by einsteinx2 5mo ago
The graph in TFA shows the downtime pattern starting in January 2020. OpenAI released GPT-3.5 in November 2022 (basically December), and LLM/agentic coding didn’t really kick off in the way you’re describing until 2024, but really in 2

I have both, and if they already have a good steam library I’d definitely go with the steam deck for them. They’ll immediately have a bunch of games to play on it (and synced game progress).

While you’re correct that FreeBSD is not a Linux distribution, the word “distro” is literally short for distribution. It doesn’t have a different meaning like smart and smartass, it’s more like repo and repository.

Of course they release this just as alternative browsers like Ladybird are making great progress…

No not at all. Some of the original contributors stepped away, but they’re still active and have recently made a bunch of progress toward M3 support. Their blog is quite active: https://asahilinux.org/blog/ Announcemen

I have 4TB in mine (wish I’d gone for 8TB though now that it’s almost filled), and no I don’t worry about it at all because I have backups. Regardless of your drive layout (RAID isn’t a backup), you’re data can be gone at any moment if you
