And you still need to find and download the model files yourself, among other steps, which is intimidating enough to drive away most users, including skilled software engineers. Most people just want it to work and start using it for

Thanks, just yesterday I discovered that Ollama could not use iGPU on my AMD machine, and was going through a long issue for solutions/workarounds ( https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/2637 ). Existing

I wonder if anyone has used Jane Street's open source OCaml libraries and tools for somewhat serious projects. I took a brief look at these things, and my impression is that their stuff isn't "ready" for anyone outside J

That's the naiveity of software engineers. They can't see their limitations and think everything is just a technical problem. No, work is never the core problem. Backlog of bug fixes/enhancements is rarely what determines the

Not so fast. > Given the spending that is now on hold was apportioned by Congress, it is likely this will face legal challenges about the scope of presidential power.

I think the article made it very clear that there is a distinction between an arrest and a conviction. But I guess it's very easy for you to write such a comment without ever establishing that the person is actually guilty, as if, in d

Just finished Kara Swisher's Burn Book today, in which she says she does not report on such scoops unless personal matters have a repeated pattern or could affect a company's stock. It never occurred to me that there is such a cho

It is. I have colleagues who used Copilot for generating slides in PowerPoint. Copilot created slides that are completely unrelated to the prompt. Apple Intelligence is horrible and hallucinates a ton, but at least it spits out nonsense on

I am not a power user by any means. In fact I use Word and Excel maybe no more than 5 times a year for both professional and personal use. Yet I quickly run into things that are not well supported in other word processor/spreadsheet ap

My hot take: productivity on VR is not and will never be a thing, at least in the current heavy, bulky form. There won't be more than a few hardcore enthusiasts who can make use of it. It is made up by Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook. VR

I have been using Quest for the past 3 years. Not once did I miss anything from the Play Store (as a daily Android user). You can go to Quest subreddit or other VR forums and find that most people think the same as me. And that is exactly w

I find "CancellationToken" in VSCode extension APIs quite clear and usable, and not overly complicated. Wonder if anyone has done a conparison of Go's context and CancellationToken.

Of course they work, I use this in JavaScript all the time. But why would I do that when I have real enum in TypeScript?

Dude, why are you here? Your comment is just a (very opionated) rant and not providing any value for anybody in the discussion.

That's a stage 1 proposal that has barely gained any traction since its release. In fact it hasn't been updated for quite a while (with "real" content changes). I wouldn't make decisions for my current code based

They still make sense in terms of clarity, readability and reusability. I use enum every time there are more than 2 entries -- literal types and "as const" are just ugly in comparison. Not to mention that you can add documentation
