Seems to me that such boolean flags do not force you to think about "building up" or "building down". You just declare what _is_. Who cares what the default is? When you're building a minimal thing, changing some de

I've been using SwiftKey for 10 years (typing not swiping), and test ran FUTO for the last month. FUTO improved a lot (I had tried it a year earlier also) but SwiftKey's suggestions are still a lot better in my opinion. With Swift

In contrast to Microsoft, OpenAI, and Anthropic, AWS has never done anything close to sneaking in unwanted training opt-outs after the fact. They are the only ones I trust not to do that so far. And their terms are extremely clear on that,

No, this is not the reality of using Haskell packages. The problem you describe was solved more than a decade ago. You use a Stackage snapshot ( https://www.stackage.org/lts ) which is a curation of packages that work togethe

Even then, I also share the confusion of the poster you're replying to. I don't see how a virtualised NVMe disk is different from a physical one. Especially if you don't have control over the underlying hardware (so you don

Given the commit is 4 weeks old, will it eventually get comments? The code before the patch does not look obviously wrong. Now, some more lines were added, but would you now say it now looks less obviously wrong, or more obviously correct?

A big benefit of piezo-powered electronics is that they can do all the usual stuff, such storing state, or cryptography to prevent spoofing, which the ultrasonic approach from the article cannot do.

Ubuntu ships a Chromium browser that has its abilitiy to store passwords safely sandboxed/containerized away. I did not expect that, given that Ubuntu comes with a full GUI and thus safe password storage backend available in theory .

That does not really matter though: Even immediate-mode approach programs should just not be drawing new frames when the program logic says that there are no new inputs that can result in different pixels (e.g. no user inputs, animations, n

Indeed, no modprobe.d will help when the feature is compiled into the kernel ("=y") instead of compiled into a runtime-loadable module.

If you want to use the suggested mitigation (disabling kernel module `algif_aead` with a modprobe config), and you do not want to run that whole obfuscated shell code to get an actual root shell, but only check if the module can be loaded,

I have not lost any Sublime tab in 15 years (I have tabs this old). Sublime also saves a backup of its state files next to the state files in your home dir, so you can restore in case anything ever goes wrong (e.g. bugs in the new version).

Syscall spamming is one of the main reasons why computers get slow when many apps are running. Good software does not do that; when idle, it should only consume RAM, not CPU. Aside: Browsers, and Electron, seem to always syscall-spam no mat

I tried Zed last month but found that it uses high CPU usage even when idle (up to 50% of 1 core of my i7-7500U). This is even higher CPU usage than my vscode causes. Sublime does not do that; in fact it has 0% CPU usage when idle: su

Why would one set up reinforcement learning like that? The point of creating samples from user data should surely be to label them good or bad, based on the whole conversation. You look at what happened eventually, judge the outcome as bad,
