I remember when Facebook IPO'd, it immediately dropped from its IPO price ($38/share) and eventually bottomed out somewhere in the teens. There was a lot of doom and gloom around that time. Not saying Reddit is Facebook and you&#

The animations are what drove me to Hyprland. I used Enlightenment at bit back in the day and used Compiz/Beryl with GNOME a lot in the mid-00s. I'm a sucker for animations on the desktop, I even liked the wobbly windows. I start

You can also use the swapwithmaster dispatch to cycle windows into the center position with a keyboard shortcut.

The reason you could host them for free is because geocities, anglefire, etc monetized it. Banner ads existed in those days too. It was just the early days of internet advertising so ads where less targeted. It's been said ad nauseam b

When you put it that way, it certainly sounds a lot like Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. And I've never seen any tech oriented person who is familiar with EEE argue that it is a legitimate business strategy that should be permitted excep

Enter to rename rather than open is one of the dumbest UX decisions ever made in a file manager. And then doubling down by not allowing any key remaps at all so you're stuck with it.

Finder is an abomination. No app has been quite as rage inducing for me personally as Finder. I use the command line almost exclusively for file management and avoid it like the plague.

You sound a lot like me. I think macOS has the worst window management of any major OS especially for power users. It's so bad that buying a half dozen third party apps to "fix" the UX disaster that is macOS has basically bee

The answer to your question is: ollama run mixtral That's it. You're running a local LLM. I have no clue how to run llama.cpp I got Stable Diffusion running and I wish there was something like ollama for it. It was painful.

A RTX 4090 is about twice the price of and 50%-ish faster than AMD's most expensive consumer card so I'm not sure anyone really expects it to ever surpass a 4090. A 7900 XTX beating a RTX 4080 at inference is probably a more reali

Do you know of any resources with details on using llama.cpp with Go?

This is also known as BFF (Backend For Frontend). Every client gets it's own API tailored for it's use case that will mostly just aggregate/orchestrate calls to the general purpose API. https://samnewman.io/pa

The line has definitely moved but not so far that Go would be considered low level. I think most people would consider languages without any sort of garbage collection to be "low level" now so C, C++, Rust, etc. Go used to (still

I find using anything other than a tiling window manager to be extremely painful. I keep a Windows 11 partition on my primary for games. Otherwise I would be full-time Linux on my personal machines.

That's what most developers do... Honestly, I don't think the main threat is AI generating code anyway. I think it's AI as the middleware layer. There are a lot of developers that are gainfully employed as JSON shepherds -- h

It was about creating a land bridge connecting Russia to Crimea and securing Crimea's access to water from the Dnipro river. One of Ukraine's goals with last year's offensive was to sever the land bridge. That objective faile

Seems more like a defensive play rather than one designed to directly open new revenue streams. In the short term, Google is going to fully integrate Gemini into Google Assistant (the takeoff has been bumpy but there is a chance they stick

I'm kind of excited to see how scifi authors will tackle the generative AI revolution in their novels. As of now, the models still need large amounts of human produced creative works for training. So you can imagine a story set in a wo

A 500GB HDD, yes. I'm thinking of the person who had a laptop in 2010-2012 and either replaced their large capacity 2.5 inch HDD with a smaller capacity 128GB or 256GB SSD for the massive performance increase or bought one that had an

That's not how I remember it but it was a long time ago and memory is unreliable so I won't claim that my statement is a fact. But I remember a period of time where basically every rip was VBR. 192kbps then took over when bandwidt

Also, H265 encoded 1080p is hitting the sweet spot between quality and file size. About 500-ish MB per hour of content for decent quality. Its sort of like when VBR encoded MP3s became the standard in the privacy scene in the early 00s. The

Right. Google is incentivized to push PWAs and other forms of cross-platform mobile app development (hence Flutter). How often will the hot new app from some SV startup launch for iOS first with no Android app? Resource strapped companies t
