My only pain with KDE is trying to resize windows. I have a 1 pixel line a certain distance away from the outside of the window. I'm using an oldish version from kubuntu 22.04 though.

Also the header "The honest benchmarks" is an irritating LLM style. And all the commas! So many commas and short sentences! E.g: "Same database, same machine. The only difference is the write pattern.". It's so bad

If I google `"libxmlb2" site:packages.ubuntu.com`, google returns no results. I've tried this with a couple of other package names, like cups and firefox. The robots.txt is permissive. The Debian package repo, packages.debi

The PSP has 32MB of RAM plus 4MB of embedded RAM, upgraded to 64MB of RAM in later models, the browser also is limited to only a subset of that. I wonder how old the anecdote is? It's hard to imagine any websites now working on that.

What's wrong with web server logs? That would give you the number of visitors, if not the pageviews on an SPA.

Wow, that's interesting, apparently 10th gen Pentiums and Celerons don't have avx. The wonders of product segmentation. They apparently corrected course (and also gave consumers AVX-512) in the 11th gen: https://www.t

I'm surprised that Go doesn't default to AVX2 support by now, considering that Haswell started shipping in mid 2013. Speaking of Dr Lemire's suggestion of a V5 architecture level, would that make any sense given the fragmenta

What quantisation do the creators intend this to be run at? They talk about 16GB of ram, so should it be run at 8 bit? People here are talking about using q4, but I would have thought a smaller model like this wouldn't perform well at

This reminds me that I once had a computer magazine from the 80s that came with a green vinyl record "single" that had a game on it for a popular computer, perhaps the Commodore 64. It was useless to me as I had a Z80 machine, but

The value of openrouter isn't as a middleman for users of claude, gemini or chatgpt, it's for those looking to find a model that fills the use case at a lower price than the top 3.
