"easily" is doing some heavy lifting there. Is Photoshopping this image together really easier than prompting an AI?

I asked for the classic "an astronaut riding a horse on the moon" and the horse had two heads. (Still pretty impressive mind you)

Biobank might have only told the government about this on Monday, but here's an article from 1 month ago about the records being leaked (to github!) during 2025: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/mar&#x

(Working for Red Hat) We actually opt devices in to our kernel. A couple of years ago an overzealous kernel maintainer removed the watchdog drivers used by qemu from the kernel and it took me ages to get those added back in.

I don't think this is actually true (eg. DPDK), but even if it is, you can put the driver in userspace (tun/tap + vfio/libusb/ioport/...) and still use TCP/IP in the kernel.

We weren't allowed to use calculators until aged 16 and I'm glad because I learned to do mental arithmetic. Many people I know, even in STEM, aren't able to do that, or lack a feel for numbers.

Or it could be there are Japanese laws or customs preventing them from doing it. The article mentions maximum fare prices for example. Japanese antitrust law is strong and thoroughly enforced.

Yes. How would private equity buy them unless they were private companies already?

But by companies that care about running railways, not by vultures that want to rip the companies apart and load them up with debt for their own short-term profits.

In the West some private equity company would be buying these up, selling off the land and separate businesses, and screwing the rail passengers for all they can, until the whole thing sinks in a sea of debt. Then repeating the formula.

Testing if you're running under virtualization or emulation is a whole thing. We wrote virt-what to do this for virt and containers. It could do emulators as well if someone was motivated enough. It's basically a giant shell sc

> where two teams diverged for months on a shared codebase There's your problem. What was the reason for not merging small changes, bug fixes, refactors and such, early?

But it's well within the budget of a small company that wants to run a model locally. There are plenty of reasons to run one locally even if it's not state of the art, such as for privacy, being able to do unlimited local experim

For some reason you were being downvoted but I enjoy hearing how people are running open weights models at home (NOT in the cloud), and what kind of hardware they need, even if it's out of my price range.

I guess you can only report spam through the gmail web interface which the FSF aren't using (because they're not using gmail, for obvious ideological reasons).

Compared to OpenSSL 3 this transition has been very smooth. Only dropping of "Engines" was a problem at all, and in Fedora most of those dependencies have been changed.

I wonder if anyone has run one of the free models continuously for a long time to see what it outputs? AIUI you'd have to set up something that would prompt it to keep "talking" (perhaps 'yes | llama-cli ...`)

Don't worry. In a few years we'll be like the COBOL programmers who still understand how things work, our brains haven't atrophied, and we make good money fixing the giant messes created by others.

I was thinking about which of these tools is the worst. It's a difficult choice as they are both awful heaps of shit, but on reflection I think ServiceNow edges out Salesforce as being the worst. Possibly ServiceNow (or "service

Interesting that coccinelle, sparse, smatch & clang-tidy are included, at least as examples. Those aren't AI coding tools in the normal sense, just regular, deterministic static analysis / code generation tools. But fine, I
