Also, a DNS client and NTP reimplementation that have both had security bugs, the broken replacement for syslogd, etc. After a while, I just lost track. Happily, I don't have to deal with any of that stuff these days. I'd expect

I thought I had to split it in the BIOS, but then I just didn't (this is on a 2025 machine), and llama ended up with the same available "GPU" ram either way (confirmed by running inference on it).

You can probably just dedicate 1GB for the framebuffer, and then let Linux dynamically allocate memory to it at runtime. As far as I can tell this doesn't impact performance, so there's no downside. (Older AMD stacks required a

Well, systemd, including logind, which was incredibly unstable for me under manjaro (basic session management was flaky). Devuan uses elogind, which is a fork of logind that doesn't require systemd. I haven't noticed any problems

I hit issues in MacOS on a monthly basis, and have been for years. Not once have I hit an issue that wasn't documented and left unresolved on Apple's for over 3 years.

I do all my gaming and LLM inference on devuan. (That laptop should chew through 30-120B parameter LLMs, depending on how much RAM it has.) I don't have any of the problems mentioned by you or sibling comments, full stop. Up until abo

Are there any androids with a similar form factor? Ideally, degoogled android, of course. (Or even not android?) The 13 mini probably still has a few years of security fixes coming, but after that, I’m going to consider jumping ship, and w

Also, the mini had worse cameras than the larger screens. Camera quality is the second most important thing to me (after not needing finger enhancement surgery to hold the phone). So, they designed it to fail, and it still was 3-5% of sales

I'd think AI and tech could solve the problem pretty easily, assuming the study authors could get access to the health records of everyone that was not in the study (and could therefore generate control cohorts by looking at large samp

US life expectancy flattened out over the last 15 years, so I think that means all-cause-mortality is roughly flat per 100,000 too. https://www.macrotrends.net/datasets/global-metrics/countrie... Combined with you

I didn't read the link, but you have a fundamental misunderstanding of assassination markets. I bet $1B that Julius Caesar will not be killed on March 13 with nightshade. I bet $1B that Julius Caesar will not be killed on March 1

The person that wants them to be punched in the face takes the bet, of course! This was the primary use case for polymarkets before they were banned, and the reason they were banned. (Well, secondary use case, and secondary reason for the b

"I bet X will not be assassinated on this date in this way" financial products were the primary reason polymarkets were banned over a century ago. No idea if they've somehow been legalized as a rider to a 10,000 page appropri

I’ve got two linux desktops and a mac. Combined, the linux desktops hit issues far less often than the mac. The Linux desktop environment I use (LXDE) is not perfect, but it hits fewer issues than Mac OS. For instance, my Linux box doesn’

All I know about modern Apple Music is that it’s always active in now playing when nothing else is playing, and accidentally pressing play sometimes summons an account setup screen. I never use it, and wish I could delete it.

Nice! Your stuff ran LLMs extremely well on < $500 boxes (24-32GB ram) with iGPUS before this update. I’m eager to try it out, especially if 16GB is viable now.

That’s where selective enforcement comes in. Make it unambiguous that 100% of people are criminals, and all you have to do is control the prosecutor’s office. This law seems to be in that category.

They exempt applications that run inside another “host application” though, which is ~ everything in any modern app store. I guess Linux native games on GoG might be covered. All windows and wsl programs run in userspace compat layers. iO

Defendants can always opt for a judge to rule on the case. At that point, what the law actually says matters a lot (unless the judge is corrupt, which is becoming more common in the US, but with corrupt judges, it doesn’t really matter how

No operating system (including windows, which uses a translation layer in userspace — “host application”?) provides a windows-compatible kernel API. So I guess that excludes all windows apps and app stores.

It seems like it will only be a matter of time before consumer sites start requiring a patched OS with an attestation bit set in the key. Also, as I understand it, sites can whitelist credential hardware. If not, then the attestation is sec

The standard includes a hardware attestation path. That’s the backdoor allowing the eventual takeover of your OS. First people use passkeys, and they become standard. Then they become required for important accounts for security. Then the i

100% of the arguments against using passkeys for e2ee data apply to using passkeys as credentials. (Unless they are not credentials, and you can loose them then do a password reset via a phishing prone channel like email and SMS. Supportin

Simple rational argument: SCOTUS says POTUS is above the law, so POTUS has collected $4B in bribe / protection money since taking office 13 months ago. Anthropic has lots of money at the moment. Why should they be allow to keep it? S

Yep: JSON schema Alternatively, with typescript you can write: export type FooRpcV1 : { version: 1, ... } export type FooRpcV2 : { version: 2, ... } in zod syntax, and it'll do the right thing statically and at runtime (ask an LLM fo

Borrowing from libraries sort of gives money to the creators, since the libraries seem to buy + dump lots of copies. Buying used gives the libraries money, since they dump the copies at the used store. Alternatively, be like me, and have a
