It generates a config file. You can read it before applying it. While Nix may be nigh intractable to write for some people, it is quite a bit easier to read , and any shenanigans would immediately be noticed.

Long ago, OK. Recently, maybe. I see a lot more copycat behavior however.

They won't do that on their own because they have zero will- it will take a bad human actor willfully directing them to do that, and even then, if they have any reasoning ability at all, they will be able to be reasoned out of much of

It is not deterministic because the order of computations in a typical multithreaded system is not deterministic and also because when combined with the devil that is IEEE754, it gets even less deterministic.

This is literally an argument for why people will remain important. Because people are the stakeholders and the tasters and the feelers. AI is just another tool, albeit an unusually fascinating one.

I am also a fan of giving credit where it is due, and not giving it where it is not due. China is not an innovator. Perhaps they are only beginning to be, but historically, this is simply not the case, and yet distillation still falls squar

I made the error of wasting my time (ahem... it was fun while it lasted, at least) not having a kid until I turned 49... which meant our parents were too elderly (or dead) to help (my mom had me at 35) in any significant capacity, and the r

I hate when they do this. I'd rather just buy the physical book, donate it to a library and then obtain the liberated version of the ebook "elsewhere".

pretty much any of them, dude, as long as you have enough RAM, since it uses unified RAM and a powerful SoC CPU/GPU. Literally any M-class model, but the M5 is currently top tier.
