The repository names all look like two terms/words from dune (harkonen, mentat, ornithoptor, etc.) followed by a number. This would indicate that the account (possibly GitHub auth/actions token) has been compromised and then used

What's the usecase for this API? My experience with running LLMs locally is spinnnig up llama-server (possibly on a separate machine) and then configuring other applications to point to that OpenAI compatible web server instead of Open

I used Gitea for a while, but eventually switched to gitolite+cgit. That was down to the org/repo structure not fitting my git hierarchy (I'm using a topic/repo, topic/subtopic/repo style structure) and the lack of

If you want a GitHub-like UI (with org/repo structure limitations) use either Forgejo or Gitea. If you want a similar but different experience use GitLab. If you want something more akin to the kernel experience (i.e. hosting, flexible

One challenge is that model evaluation is typically domain/application specific. Model performance can also depend on the system prompt and the input/context. Regarding evaluation, I've found using tools like promptfoo (and i

So it's similar to Defence of the Ancients that resulted in DotA and other MOBAs. It wonder if they'll be able to create a version of this with the new mechanics/gameplay loop but with different art/assets.

The Q5 quantization (26.6GB) should easily run on a 32GB 5090. The Q4 (22.4GB) should fit on a 24GB 4090, but you may need to drop it down to Q3 (16.8GB) when factoring in the context. You can also run those on smaller cards by configuring

Tools like this (formal verification, sparse, etc.) and built-in mechanism (types, generics, RAII, rust's borrow checker) can only verify issues within the scope of that framework. There are also trade-offs and limitations with each ty

My only gripe with the game is that healing doesn't give XP to the healing units. This means you need to place them in combat to level up instead of placing them behind the fighters like they are intended to be, and with them initially

For llama-server (and possibly other similar applications) you can specify the number of GPU layers (e.g. `--n-gpu-layers`). By default this is set to run the entire model in VRAM, but you can set it to something like 64 or 32 to get it to

That search (e.g. `ford fiesta water pump`) is consistent for me as well, except for an "explore more" section in the middle of the results. So it does seem to be specific searches where it gives up after the first 7-10 results (o

XPath 1.0 is a pain to write queries for. XPath 2.0 adds features that make it easier to write queries. XPath 3.1 adds support for maps, arrays, and JSON. And the default Python XPath support is severely limited, not even a full 1.0 impleme

XPath is used in processing XML (JATS and other publishing/standards XML files) and can be used to proces HTML content. RDF and the related standards are still used in some areas. If the "Batteries Included" standard library

by rhdunn 7mo ago
That's my point. You can have a large standard library like those languages I mentioned, but that isn't going to include everything nor cover every use case, so you'll have external libraries (via PyPi for Python, NuGet for .

The HTML "Living Standard" is constantly updated [1-6]. The PNG spec [7] has been updated several times in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2025. The XPath spec [8] has multiple versions: 1.0 (1999), 2.0 (2007), 3.0 (2014), and 3.1 (2017), w

There are several issues with "Batteries Included" ecosystems (like Python, C#/.NET, and Java): 1. They are not going to include everything. This includes things like new file formats. 2. They are going to be out of date when

The idea behind a greenscreen is that you can make that green colour transparent in the frames of footage allowing you to blend that with some other background or other layered footage. This has issues like not always having a uniform colou

AI assisted coding is really good as an enhanced auto-complete, often better as it picks up patterns in the code and will complete whole lines or chunks of code. There, I'll assess the results like any other auto-completed suggestions.
