I am interested in seeing how much these cybersecurity capabilities correlate to general programming. Cybersecurity definitely feels like it would be easier for an agent due to the natural explicit feedback "did I get access or not&quo

I don't think this is accurate. Easy Anti-Cheat has supported Linux for a long time, many years before this. I doubt they were years and years out of date, updated, and allowing Linux was turned on by default in the new version. What t

I don't think this is true. I've been using NixOS for years and it's awesome. Total game changer for managing my PC and development environments. More adoption will help of course, but I certainly haven't needed it to ge

This model is a preview of Qwen's upcoming Qwen4 architecture. It is a 125B-A6B MoE model, meaning it has 125B total parameters with 6B active at a time, but it also has a 51B parameter engram with it. The engram is basically a lookup

Yup, direnv + Nix. Incredible combo for development.

Sure, but a seed oil is not a plant. The oil is extracted from a plant. You can eat all the plants you want, but unless you directly consume the processed extract, you won't be getting much fat. Avocados are a source of healthy fats. H

Various plants (dark leafy greens/cruciferous vegetables) do make up the foundation of a healthy diet, but do not provide significant protein or fats. Meat is very useful from a dietary perspective. You can make a quality vegan/ve

The value proposition for the frontier labs is starting to look really bad. There have been multiple open-weight, Chinese models released recently that perform extremely well, often at much cheaper prices. DeepSeek pricing is insanely low,

Nixpkgs is one of, if not the largest, package managers by # of packages. I think naturally that will result in more abandoned packages than others. What is the % of abandoned packages relative to total I can't say. Nix tends to have u

This was a governance structure that began ~1 year ago. Nix is 23 years old, so it won't be dying or going away due to this. But it is sad to see two extremely valuable contributors leave the project due to burn out. Nix and NixOS are

Deepmind always worked on some of the coolest architectures. Following things like AlphaStar, AlphaGo, and more were extremely exciting and felt like the hacker persona of machine learning. I hope Google can take advantage of this awesome t

They've also announced Qwen3.8-27B being released open-weight next week. Qwen3.6-27B is widely regarded as one of the best local models, especially since nothing else comes close to it, that isn't benchmaxxed, without being signif

No, but they can transfer them, which is what the comment you replied to was worried about. My partner used to be an elementary school teacher and frequently complained about the school she worked at. The district transferred a large perce

Well they haven't lost anything yet. Somebody is vibe coding a rewrite in another language and we don't know much else. The author said he will write a blog post about it soon. So far all we know is it is passing most of the test

They haven't fumbled anything. One person has used AI to vibe code a rewrite of a Zig program in another language. Zig didn't gain popularity due to Bun, last I checked Bun doesn't even mention it is written in Zig on the hom

by toshinoriyagi 5mo ago
Zig won't be affected by Bun potentially moving to Rust, the language has been growing rapidly and one of the main proposals of Zig is "maintain it with Zig". It's ability to integrate with existing C code bases, as well

The anti-AI policy had nothing to do with Bun's PRs being rejected. This post[0] by a core zig maintainer explains why the PRs were low quality and subsequently rejected. [0] https://ziggit.dev/t/bun-s-zig-fork-got

I don't think immigrants make up the basis of the Swiss economy. Looking at their demographic data[1], it was pretty strongly European dominated for a very long time, and is still ~80% European. When people talk about immigrants in thi

I swapped from Windows 11 to Linux in 2024 (Arch for a bit, NixOS for the last 1.5 years) and can never go back. Linux isn't perfect yet, but my experience is so much better now, and it will only improve. Windows seems to be regressing

I understand you, I just think there is value in using a separate adjective, to avoid beginners thinking pain caused by damage to tissue is normal and you need to push through it to get gains.

by toshinoriyagi 9mo ago
It certainly does not need to be painful. I think most people will make a distinction between the burn of acidosis, or what you call unease, and actual pain indicating damage is occurring. But yes, if you never train close to failure you wi

Steroid use has been shown to increase muscle in untrained males by around 25-30% I believe, without adding any exercise. That doesn't accomplish too much. If you want any worthwhile results, you will still have to train, although the

There is a minimum weight you must use to create a training stimulus, but yes, you can increase your 1RM with higher-rep sets (again, to a limit, they can't be sets of 100, the weight is too light). To increase your 1RM at the most opt

by toshinoriyagi 9mo ago
The weight does matter. You will never get bigger if you don't add weight to the bar, and you will never get bigger if you only train at 1% of your 1 rep max, no matter the number of reps. Producing a training stimulus requires placing

Correct, it's not sold by Framework, but is a replacement mainboard sold by a 3rd party. I think that is one of the big appeals of a modular laptop like Framework, though. You can create an ecosystem around it, customize, and not be lo

I've been on NixOS full time for probably 1.5 years. 0 problems, other than some games that need kernel anti-cheat to run. EDIT: I was also able to connect to my solar panel gateway trivially from the CLI just a few days ago.
