> Rust had like 3 allocating types total. Seriously? Categories of types maybe, but literal types it's more than that. Even closures allocate if they need to capture their environment.

Some of this surely stems from Rust not originally supporting allocators at the standard API level until later. You can manually create your own, and create/modify your own containers, but until GlobalAlloc came around it sometimes inv

But that was has nothing to do with the incident in the Middle East, it's a more general one.

Back in 2023 when the previous issue happened, it didn't actually "crash", it detected what it perceived as an inconsistency (which was due to invalid waypoint logic for waypoint codes in multiple countries) and put itself in

It was blatantly obvious Iran would do that if attacked. This has been known for decades. The only thing previously stopping them holding the strait "hostage" was the threat from the US of doing an "Operation Praying Mantis

They've got the IDL files as well for the APIs, but you can't use them without their libs: > The data model is defined using a custom format .rmodel based on the ddkit > framework (rmodel-api). > Please note that the .rmo

DDS sort of took over from CORBA in the military domain, and the statically-typed IDL was still quite similar to CORBA last time I looked at it, so that takes you back to around 1998 when CORBA was being used a lot in the military in my exp

Its giraffe / grandfather clock one is pretty bad... (two necks? wearing a suit?) Weird as well, it's clearly pulled out some 1884 patent on clock designs, and a quick ddg/google doesn't show it as anything to do with gr

Sounds like it might not have been fully fixed after 2023 then.

Other than the fact it's mathematicians signing it, why is mathematics special in this regard: surely this generally applies to a lot of different industries and sectors of research / academia? Mathematics is being used as a bench

It's wider though, and surely going to weigh more...

I wish they'd alternate each year or something between iPhone / iPhone mini if they're struggling for sales. The body shapes and cases seem to change each year anyway now, so it's not like people get to re-use cases that

Where are you seeing them having an issue with the larger (Pro) model? The announcement specifically says 4.1 Pro will be released in the future.

I've had this for a few months trying to log into https://console.vultr.com/ ... It does it for me if I use a VPN (Mullvad) - if I don't use a VPN then I haven't noticed I get them. But yeah, very annoying.

It's not even that though if we are going to be nit-picky: it's a coordinate (not quite sure what the pixel extent would subtend to solid-angle-wise, but...) based off the coordinate frame of where the space telescope will be whe

by pixelesque 25d ago
Title doesn't match submission: it's not really a "coordinate" in 3D space, you "adopt" a pixel from the early imagery taken by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Maybe that can be reverse-projected back to

Hermes' Github has 12K open issues and 25K pull requests. I assume they're using agents to sort through all the slop?

Looks okay to me. The first column has both the Hy4 and Hy3 scores overlaid on one another (Hy4 is darker blue and the taller one), with both scores written below the top of the respective bar - maybe you're seeing that?

Too sloppy, didn't read.

Yes, but come on... That's due to the need for ultra-fast memory and inference compute, it's not the same thing.

Is that the same as storing state in a DB and on a filesystem though? Like, I get there are other features they have, and things like history, but I don't think it's quite the same. Isn't most (not all) of the LLM's reso

As someone typing this on an M1 Mac with 32 GB of RAM who tried using 3.8 27B (Q4_K_M) yesterday in both LM Studio and llama.cpp, I wouldn't call it particularly usable in terms of token speed. (and that was with `--spec-type draft-mtp

I've found Pro to be a lot better per "task" than the recently released Flash for code reviews and things (via OpenRouter running in pi.dev). Flash makes a lot more initial mistakes, and then has to re-check stuff, and produc
