The Libre has been life changing for me, but in particular during sleep I do find that the levels can be very unreliable if you end up sleeping on the same side as where you have attached the sensor.

I find it confusing to release weights under a source code license too as Apache 2.0 that is used for plenty of open models spends a lot of time talking about code, which should be unrelated to weights (I am not a lawyer though). But perhap

LLaMa 2 is sadly not open source and not open science, despite what Facebook keeps on claiming: https://blog.opensource.org/metas-llama-2-license-is-not-ope... Thus you will have to read the license and judge whether it

Glad to see more models made available. Sadly it has the same kind of licensing problems as Facebook's LLaMa [1]: * "If you are commercially using the Materials, and your product or service has more than 100 million monthly active

There is also json2tsv [1] that follows a similar philosophy and I have had some fun combining it with awk(1) recently for database ingestion. [1]: https://www.codemadness.org/json2tsv.html

So you are suggesting what? That the UK would be allowed to join a scheme that hands out a large pot of money drawn from EU tax payers without pitching in? Give me a break. Framing this as some sort of ominous plot requires leaps of logic

Dear lord, it really is not that simple. Having ported software and served as a package maintainer on both the Linux and BSD side you get anything from pathetically easy to nearly impossible (Julia on NixOS was one hell of a journey). Jus

Before employees, partners, and associates it was workers. All part of the same old euphemism treadmill. "Städare" (cleaner) becoming "lokalvårdare" (environment caretaker) is a personal favourite from my childhood in Sw

If anything, watching the long version makes it even worse. Regardless of what one may think of unions, them portraying this video as some sort of objective (mandatory?) training session really feels dirty. You do not choose words such as &

No, abuse@ is not some sort of Google invention but to the best of my knowledge was an informal convention that then got formalised in RFC 2142 [1] in 1997 along with many other common mailbox names. If Google sets this up automagically for

At least in my circles it is common that people play or have played, especially males. I myself play on average two tables or so per day online. Although I certainly should force myself to read up a bit more on strategy.

I mostly agree and love what Fujifilm is bringing to the table (the viewfinder in particular). Sadly their sensor size breaks backwards compatibility though with relation to old lenses. Other than that, I wholeheartedly agree and readily re

That last comment is a bit unfair, no? Yes, there are plenty of "fools" that throw money on Leica gear and wearing it as a fashion statement. However, Leicas are also darn fun to shoot, even if they make zero sense for a profess

After having gone through about a handful of SIP clients, I have to say that baresip is by far the most reliable one I have found. No random breakages. Accounts just work once you have the configuration done. It has some idiosyncrasies in t

I agree that we are not entitled to Jitsi (8x8?) providing us with a free service. But it is not as clear of a cut as saying "Run it yourself then!" to a bunch of spoilt brats. At the height of the pandemic I started using Jitsi f

This is sadly the standard license for work produced at Facebook AI Research (FAIR) going back at least three or so years. Most researchers are not deeply invested into the details of licensing, so many of them simply assume it is properly

As someone moving back and forth between BSDs and Linux over the years. I think I can relate to this feeling. On Linux you inarguably have more options in terms of software, higher performance, better device driver support, etc. But even wh

I do not think that anyone is arguing that it does not make sense that we say write 東京駅 (Toukyoueki) for "Tokyo Station" in Japan and that -eki as a suffix is to be expected here. However, if you see a purging of already existing

This perspective is becoming increasingly common: "If only we had a different kind of license, the tech giants would not have it their way". But I find it so very very hard to believe it. Google - a single such corporation - has
