   This would require massively more power than the Mac Studios.

   So, just to review the hypocrisy here: Full-on murder simulators: OK. Exchanging consensual pleasure with the wrong person: NOT OK.

   There are languages that transpile to Lua that get you things like typing… https://typescripttolua.github.io/ I’m personally a fan of YueScript which is basically an evolution of MoonScript (but it’s not typed). https:&#x2

   there are thousands of products that use Lua underneath or in some capacity. I investigated LuaJIT these past few months and I think it is underrated.

    And I used it for 2 years on 2 drives on 2 different OS'es (Manjaro and Arch) and had 2 corruptions that bricked the drives. And they were root filesystems, so... that wasn't fun. Statistics are funny like that.

    Hi, I believe I've contributed financially to your project in the past (mainly because zfs (licensing issues) and btrfs (unreliability, in my personal experience) need good competition... and btrfs bricked 2 of my drives once...) You&#

    I've bricked 2 drives to btrfs (one on Manjaro and one on Arch), and 0 to bcachefs. Of course, I've never used bcachefs as a daily driver... nor as a filesystem in general... but I'd love to... lol

    Every piece of information or file that is compressed sends a dictionary along with it. In the case of, say, many HTML or CSS files, this dictionary data is likely nearly completely redundant. There's almost no added complexity since z

    This can happen with primadonna devs who haven't had to collaborate in a team environment for a long time. It's a damn shame too because bcachefs has some unique features/potential

    I guess I meant losslessly round-trippable. In other words, you can go from jpeg -> jxl -> jpeg without any loss in quality, potentially (although with jxl -> jpeg -> jxl, you will lose space while it is a jpeg, and you'd p

    Has anyone found significant-enough differences to not just make one overarching LLM_GUIDANCE.md and symlink it to the others there? This also strikes me as such an organic (ironically) problem that it probably makes sense for everyone to p
