are there OSS solutions for controlling/configuring unify hardware?

I assume environment variables became popular as it's an 'easy' way to inject secrets without hardcoding them in a config file.

Homebrew does a great job @ initial setup; it does a poor job of keeping a system clean and updated over time.

Agreed. I migrated ~all my personal things to Uv; but I'm sure once I start adopting widely at work I'll find edge cases you need to know the weeds to figureout/work around.

Historically; my rule of thumb is as soon as I can't see the ~entire script without scrolling - time to rewrite in Python/ansible. I Think about the rewrite, but it usually takes awhile to do it (if ever)

The argument is whether the LLM training on the copyrighted work is Fair Use or not. Should META pay for the copyright on works it ingests for training purposes?

Honestly; the exact opposite. Removing funding for research means either research is canceled, or funded private. Funding the research privately increases costs to end user as private ensurer is directly accruing more cost. Research stopp

same on both. On dial-up; I learned to touch type so I could insult my opponent after killing them, but before they re-spawned and could attack me again in a video game.

ADO handles this by showing a dropdown of 'comment left on update X, currently update Y' with a toggle to show the difference. I ~hate how ADO handles individual commits (comment left on a single commit is hidden), but I do like t

> Genuine questions : why do you eat meat ? I know not aimed at me, but honest answer: because I grew up eating it. Environmental/moral concerns have never been a prime concern as I don't consider them problems reasonably solve

I'll reword it. The idea isn't to make everyone skip meat; but to make the non-meat options more competitive. I say this as one with multiple briskets in my chest freezer waiting for some good weather.

Think about it more; if the vegan and steak options were ~equivalently priced - more would choose vegan than if it wasn't more expensive. The idea isn't to make it prohibitive; insofaras don't make the most environmentally-e

IIRC there was a study done that being polite to an LLM garnered better results. It's helpful all around

ding ding ding. If you're rude to an LLM, those habits will bleed into your conversations with barista/etc.

It looks like they relatively recently migrated the entire codebase from Apache to MIT. I wonder if that was in relation to pulling in code from Spegel. They updated ~every header.

You'd think there would be a market for something OSS here. It would be problematic to keep clean/useful...

"an old poorly implemented model can't do item X well therefore the technology is garbage" Likely the most accurate measure of progress would be watching detractors goalposts move over time.

I had the last non-butterfly MBP, and work tried to get me to move to a new one for years - i fought to keep mine. Then I switched jobs, got a butterfly MBP and the laptop was honestly one of the worst I've had. After 2 years, I had

It almost feels like people are annoyed the non-technical population has options now.

You still have all of those things; but no the 95% also have it (albeit in a walled garden). It's more "Others are participating, but not how I want to" than anything I think. I do wish more tech oriented communities ran of

IIRC, MS has right-of-first-refusal on providing any new/necessaary compute for stargate. But also iirc; Stargate was well along before trumps horse/pony show also no idea how much is still necessary to purchase.

I don't know if its golden rule or common-sence when applicable. If our testing framework is in Python; writing a wrapper to code tests for your feature in Perl because you're more comfortable with it is the Wrong way to do it imo

how much of that cost is hidden/subsidized though? Less I missed something; there's lots of claims but lots of fuzz also. If you bring up API fees; CCP is notorious for subsidizing local business to operate at a loss on the globa
