I'm not familiar with that word, Ludonarrative, but yeah constant interruptions to suspension of disbelief are a huge pain in the ass. And the Wikipedia page on it goes into deep and nuanced examples when we have just basic failures. I

OK, thanks I thought I screwed up. I have recently been working on a command line tool and the windows version is called mz.exe. On Linux it is just 'mz', just a coincidence. I was concerned this name collision might cause problem

All of that is "I" and "me", not everyone. Happiness isn't meaningless, it just appears that you can't internalize someone else's internal state and understand how they might achieve happiness a different

I hope it doesn't find a new class of bug. Find another thing like Spectre could be problematic. EDIT - I hope if that new class of bug exists that it is found. I hope that new class of bug doesn't exist.

I want to agree with you, but I don't think we really know enough to say this with certainty. What you propose is on of several plausible scenarios.

No need to be so absolute no one is "assign[ing] responsibility for your well-being to others", there are grey areas and gradients and employment is fundamentally full of those. No one person can be an expert in everything, we liv

To be maximally charitable, some people don't want to trade one freedom for another (lots of people are just assholes, but let's ignore them for a moment). There are some fundamental compromises in freedom. If I have a right not t

It is easy to "find a new job" but things like healthcare, geographic location, and creditworthiness are tied to employment. If employment were more isolated this argument would still only be superficially reasonable, because we a

Put another way, I don't trust amazon to not screw me. Many people have concerns, some based in reality and some completely imagined, about Amazon and other large corporations trying to screw them for just a few more cents. Why would I

This sounds like someone saying that banning children from mines is a restrictions on the child's right to mine coal. If society would be a better place than short term growth be damned.

Others can build models that try to have decent performance with a lower number of parameters. If they match what is in the paper that is the crudest form of review, but Mistral is releasing some models (this one?) so this can get more nuan

I do stuff that uses all my RAM. New workstation has 192GB already had builds that pushed it to 180gb used. I am not alone. I am not saying everyone needs that much, just that the bar for what warrants a dedicated server rack keeps going up

But apple has like 5% market share. 8gb with windows is really rough. There are people who don't care or can't afford performance.

On the failing CI, I suspect it was more a culture thing than a specific technical detail thing. Windows shops often try to purchase solutions to their own organization's failures, like the crowdstrike thing (Yeah I know some Linux mac

Is 128gb so much? My last workstation (not a laptop) had a 5950x and 128gb of DDR4 and that RAM is like 4 years old now. I am not saying you will have it in an ultrabook form factor, but I had 32gb of ram in sandy bridge laptop (intel core

That is strong (and fun) point, but this is peer reviewable and has more open collaboration elements than purely selling widgets. We should still be skeptical because often want to claim to be better or have unearned answers, but I don&#x27

At least with spectre applying the mitigation was a choice. You could turn it off and game at full speed, while turning it on for servers and web browsing for safety. This is busted or working.

TLDR; I hadn't meant it that way, but in web pages it really is enough. Web pages generally don't have computation time to worry about, mostly just IO. This simplifies scheduling because whatever is coordinating the event loop in
