Not everyone plays the same games, play games in the same way, or has the same lifestyle as yous. Just one example: If I find two hours on a weekday evening to play games (when I am often occupied by other things on other days) and I want t

If the author ever talked to a gamer, they would have learned how ignorant they are. edit: in case it's not clear, when every other new game from major publisher starts at 50GB or 100GB and can sometimes be 300+GB, waiting 2hrs to down

Has anyone heard of any of these companies before? And I wonder what the number is for other languages. They want my email just to look at their "free report". Sorry that's not good to happen.

Same here. A co-worker touched a few hundred files in a PR and asked us to review. They merged it directly to main when nobody approved it. (The repo was not set up to enforce PR approval.) I don't personally use that feature, and I co

For OpenAI and Anthropic, their entire business is AI. If this thing does not work out, their company is over. Google? They are shoving AI into every product for sure, but the company is going to do ok even if they immediately stop all AI w

It's called AWS. Bedrock is right there. Price or data policy is never the issue. The models themselves are the problem -- most large US companies are not going to touch them. Source: directly involved in these discussions. You can dow

My comment was saying you lose something (e.g. performance) when using WSL2 compared to native Linux on a proper workstation. Linux driver has always been an issue on laptops, but that's not the concern for running Python code.

Memory overuse: for context, it's about parallelism on gloo backend with CPU. My observation is that on Linux, the same (bad) python code will result in the process getting killed quickly, saving user the trouble of rebooting. Not sure

Lots of machine learning workflows support Linux better than Windows, if they run on Windows at all. (e.g. https://docs.vllm.ai/en/latest/getting_started/quickstart/ ) DGX Spark runs Linux, and nobody is
