If the claims on multilingual and pretraining performance are accurate, this is huge! This may be the best-in-class multilingual stuff since the more recent Gemma's, where they used to be unmatched. I know Americans don't care muc

You're not losing much; the film is really good, and features Oldman... among other very good acting. There is elitist cohort bent on signaling how they cannot stand films, and how live theater is superior, blah blah. Well, usually the

Wow, this is unbelievable. I thought UniFi was a premier networking product. Certainly its price would suggest so. Not supporting IPv6 in 2025 is unacceptable.

The latter, and as I said in prior writing—it's not that I don't believe in constraints, I simply don't believe that this "staticness" is a feature of contrivance—rather, I would say it's a side-effect having t

Please share! Computational literature is my main area of research, and constraints are very much in the center of it... I believe that there are effectively two kinds of constraints: in the language of stories themselves, as thing-in-itsel

Only my 2c, but being able to modify commodity software (including, but not limited to browsers, text editors, etc.) I am running on my computer is table stakes.

Back in the day if you were studying in Cambridge under somebody like Russell, it would have been a class of 5, and all of you were poised to become professors. Now, well, now it's a different story. Say what you will about higher educ

"Open source terrorism" is a hilarious designation for Rust-like traditions and customs. I wonder what other programming language/software communities may fall under this definition?

You seem to be involved with 9front. Are you trying to suggest there is a nontrivial community of people who cannot afford modern 64-bit Linux platforms, and opt for 9front on some ancient 32-bit hardware instead? Where are they coming from

Or rather that the whole premise is wrong? I say, take Wittgensteinian stance on the matter, and who cares it's been 50 years.

I did buy 384 GB worth of Samsung DDR5-4800 sticks for my homelab a few months ago. I was wondering at the time if I really needed it, well ended up using it anyway, and turns out, dodged a bullet big time.

I'm sorry, but it is you who completely misses the point, and have so far failed to engage with your opponent's rhetoric on any meaningful level. (Using latin words like sequitur does not count!) To borrow your analogy: there is,

WebUSB is amazing for trusted computation on TKey platform, i.e. you don't have to trust the browser to load the correct program as the key is always DICE-derived deterministically. The browser is the best thing since sliced bread for

I did paint a cynical picture, so please do take it with a grain of salt. Poly is just one tool, and it's never a solution to anything. What you say about potential abuses, undesirable selection, etc. I agree 100% and hate the office-p

Well, my perspective is having to do with Ukrainian mil tech, but I believe the same is true in e.g. cybersecurity, and it helps that the newcomers are often familiar with the process. Poly is not for everyone. Now, when you say "indus

This is not accurate. Polygraphs are not detecting lies, they're used to assess your sensitivities; there are really talented interrogators in counterintelligence, whose full-time job is to fuck with you in subtle ways. To poly a perso

The obvious explanation is they have scaled it up, but it turned out to be total shite, like most new architectures.

There is a whole subcommunity of highly respected physics quacks like that one guy from Lockheed obsessed with propellantless propulsion. They are very much into zero-point stuff and how they do it is semi litho.

Bluefield is so overrated, and Nvidia shouldn't get away with calling it "programmable" NIC. So far it's a downgrade from SmartNIC's of yesteryear, let alone modern platforms.
