haha as if. I mostly do bugfixes, small features, and otherwise most of my PRs are just unit text fixes so that our CI jobs run again (because my colleagues don't seem to care about breaking tests, so I get to fix everyone's tests

I guess we can assume you won't be releasing any software for Windows in the near future :)

Good commit messages would be nice but honestly I would be over the moon if our pull requests would be approved within a week without having to ping one or more people.

According to this: https://x.com/EdgeSecurity/status/2041872931576299888 > ...it seems like they instituted an identity verification policy, didn't notify me about it, and then I guess they suspended accou

There are other less annoying alternatives such as WeTransfer.

Also any miner worth their salt knows to undervolt to save power (=money), run cooler, last longer, and run at very close to full speed or even in some cases 100% full-speed, depending on silicon "lottery".

I don't think anyone outside of Disney/ClosedAI knows what deal was actually made. Maybe they just shut down public use of Sora but Disney will still be able to use it internally? Maybe they never even signed anything, as is too o

Such as? Where do we find these open weight model providers? Why is hardly anyone talking about them or sharing links (here or elsewhere) if they are so wonderful and profitable?

Is OpenAI still considered a startup? They were founded ~10 years ago in December 2015.

To nitpick a tiny bit, from Wikipedia[0]: > In February 2024, OpenAI previewed examples of its output to the public,[1] with the first generation of Sora released publicly for ChatGPT Plus and ChatGPT Pro users in the US and Canada in De

Imagine all the money they can save on Sora which surely cost them way more than regular LLM usage, that they can now invest into suave Superbowl ads trash-talking Claude. I also wonder if they got the $1B from Disney? Was that even a paid

My company doesn't OK basically any software requests, even cheap stuff :( We also don't make anywhere near $10k/mo (not USA). REcently got a new dev machine and it had 512GB m2 SSD and 16GB of RAM. I had to order 32GB but I

Of course anecdotal but 2 months ago I tried to do that for a missing bolt in a popular scooter (roughly 7 years old, bought 2nd hand so didn't know exact specs). I fed it various images that I took + internet images. It found a bunch

I did that. It worked, until it didn't, and then I learned how to format my 340MB HDD and re-install DOS 6.22. Fun times!

Sounds like a lot of work to ensure it's correct, without the guarantee that it's actually correct. Why not just do it oldschool? Is it really saving you that much time?

Define "way better shape". Mentally? Physically? Spiritually? It's not prison, but I know people who spent time in various county jails for weeks to months, and all of them definitely came out worse, and did their best to sta

Yeah but it was voluntary. He was locked up on contempt for refusing to give the location of the remaining gold coins for 2 years and only stayed in jail for 10 years because he kept refusing. They let him out after 10 years because he was

> Perhaps the unusual outcomes are just more memorable, and so seem more frequent? That's a good point and could very well be true. I just know I've played plenty of games where I was mad that they didn't show the meaning.

So you're saying we should only put extroverted people in the office and introverted people get to WFH? ;)

Please write to the NY Times and suggest it! I still play and it still irks me when I have to go google a word.

How often have you played Wordle? I've played well over 1000 games, and at lesat 1/5th of those were words I had to look up. They seem to enjoy picking obscure words in order to make the game more challenging.

I look forward to reading studies in 10 years how we all became stupider thanks to this "feature". One step closer to the movie Idiocracy.

by lossyalgo 7mo ago
That reminds me of one of the biggest IMO missing feature of Wordle: They never give a definition of the word after the game is finished! I usually do end up googling words I don't know (which is quite often) but I'm guessing I&#x

I constantly read those comments and I personally have conflicting opinion with them. On one hand, it's interesting to compare what is coming out of models, but on the other hand, LLMs are all non-deterministic, so results will be fair

How long do those links exist though? Until the author deletes it?

If not then install EFF Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes extensions.

You should care, if they post it to socials then you are further tracked and online in at least one more sketchy database, and half naked as well.

Yeah something weird going on over there. Even my cheapo 2025 iPad with A16 chip ($300) lasts a few weeks if I don't use it - plenty of other non-Apple devices could really learn something about how power-saving mode is supposed to wor

As soon as I added a 2nd user, my Samba share totally broke and days later I still don't have it working. It was fine for over a year and now I'm close to deleting my 2nd user just so I can access my Mac Mini across the network ag
