We live in a world where it has become increasingly possible--by a number of different mechanisms--to rent access to things rather than sell them, and we need to step in and better regulate that: if I pay for your product, you don't ge

I don't even have an fn key, much less an insert, on my hacked-up Chromebook, so I have right-alt set to alt-gr and I mapped alt-gr+enter to insert (and alt-gr+backspace to delete) in my X key map, and, even still, it honesty feels ver

The term "virtualization" is being used in this context to mean using features of the hardware to build virtual machines that run at native performance on computational tasks. In contrast, the app you linked to is just relying on

YugabyteDB is also a fork of PostgreSQL. Last year, they got around to rebasing from 11 to 15, and spent some time working on better isolating their changes to make that easier going forward. https://www.yugabyte.com/blog&#x

I think the idea is that the backspace would be a token, indelibly in the history, as it is something that happened: if you record on editor traces, the premise that I previously typed something and chose to delete it matters for my current

Maybe they are not changing the model weights but they are making constant tweaks to the system prompt (which isn't in any way better, to be extremely clear).

Unless the overall demand is doing massive sudden swings throughout the day between models, this effect should not matter; I would expect the number of wasted computers to be merely on the order of the number of models (so like, maybe 19 wa

I have Pro. To get the old models, log into the website (not the app) and go to Settings / General / Show Legacy Models. (This will not, as of now, make these models show up in the app. Maybe they will add support for this later.)

But now I have frozen an old language runtime and a bunch of old libraries into my environment, all of which are not just security hazards but interoperability landmines (a common one being lack of support for a new TLS standard).

Some people always like the status quo: no bloc is 100% consistent. With numbers like what you provide, though, this would be a minority of affected people... though, the ones with the most money to lobby.
