A fun "do-it-yourself" question for people who've always wanted to learn about the baroque architecture of the PowerPC Mac and the classic Mac OS: where is hardware support for specific models implemented?

I see what you mean now – thanks for clarifying for me.

The "overstay" was scare quotes – you're allowed to stay.

Case in point: public charge and political rhetoric that (at the very least) wildly stretches the truth about immigrants applying for benefits.

> if you overstay a visa you should expect detention Again, though, there's a catch-22. Wait times until you're even notified about your interview appointment date are long and unpredictable.

A note that it's easy to "overstay" a visa when waiting for a green card interview - the wait times are often in the 6-16 month range, and if you leave the country you'll be considered to have abandoned your "petiti

I've always wanted to ask people who lived in East Germany: what similarities and differences do you see with the modern American surveillance infrastructure?

Ironically enough, that would be practical for "vintage LLM" - perhaps (morally) obligatory?

You're right: I wish OpenAI could find a way to "donate" GPT-2 or GPT-3 to the CHM, or some open archive. I feel like that generation of models was around the point where we were getting pleasantly surprised by the behaviors

I see “parsing” and I think: I’ve always wanted to try out SOTA fuzzers - I guess I have a project with what’s left of the weekend!

I’m curious - did fragmentation end up being a significant issue, whether in memory or offloaded?

I love the ideas about how we might use historical LLMs to inquire into the past! I imagine that (the author hints at this), to do this rigorously, spelling out assumptions etc, you’d have to build off theoretical frameworks used to inducti

What a time to be alive: my iPhone has enough Unicode coverage to display hieroglyphics… imagine thinking two decades ago that you could use disk space on a mobile device like that. (It doesn’t have the glyph layout chops, though…)

I always found it annoying that Rumelhart and McClelland named their books with the acronym “PDP” - Parallel Distributed Processing. Now I know that they were probably aware of the name collision…

IIRC, because of Wine, Mono has enough of WinForms to make a few things work. But who the hell wants to distribute an application with a Wine runtime?

I'd love to see how far shucking it and using aftermarket cooling will go. Or perhaps it's hard-throttled for market segmentation purposes?

A heads up that, for macOS (and I think Windows?) users, Opencloud's desktop apps currently don't support lazy loading of files/aggressive unloading.

I will admit: if NextCloud is competing against GSuite funding by orgs and power users with paying subscriptions, how are we going to expect NextCloud to have anything resembling feature parity while maintaining “harder now but better lon
