I have seen more GUIs these days that don't support even the bare minimum of using tab to cycle through various fields and selector buttons. Which as I recall was introduced in like windows 3.0.

One could also run it locally on a used dual xeon (or amd-equivalent) server with 512GB RAM, albeit slower, if you have a useful workflow for it that's like "take this day's efforts and run it through various analysis agents&

It's not that GLM5.3 in full precision unquantized is any smaller, it's 141 * 5.4GB files at approx 770GB which is about the same size as 5.2.

It's a fair point but capabilities do degrade relative to what is considered "ordinary every day use software" even if nothing is wrong with the OS. For instance there's a fair number of old laptops which exist now that

I don't think Microsoft actually cares (or they consider it to be a good thing) because the default out of box experience on Windows 11 is to drive the average non tech home/consumer user towards a whole array of microsoft monthly

Given the very wide selection of x86-64 platform PC workstation hardware which is capable of running linux just fine, limiting yourself to only a few vendors just because you don't want it to have win11 out of the box is really doing

I use screen extensively, the GUI is for leaving things like QGIS running full screen (which is sure not going to work in a TUI). Both CLI environment and GUI get used.

If you work for $bigcorp and have a work computer with nothing of personal value to you, all the more power to you. Great way to keep things separated. I'm writing more from the perspective of somebody whose home office and workstation

My setup is basically, the 'runs harnesses' VM is accessible by ssh (of course) but it also has an xfce4/xorg desktop environment running on it. I can easily form an ssh tunnel to it and then use tigervnc on my workstation la

I mean, it's not like, rocket science to basically boil down your page (which I don't fundamentally disagree with) to "we should put these things in a jail". As I already commented here I implement this for myself at the

I also think it's really funny that it sort of comes to the conclusion of "we're gonna make something not that different than a FreeBSD jail 25 years ago" as the best possible sandboxing solution.

This is why I run opencode and similar things in a dedicated KVM virtual machine that lives on a system under my desk that doesn't have access to my user account data, documents folder, photos/video, ~/.ssh/, other API k

I am hoping someone with more free time than myself can contribute some things in the RF engineering domain in the 'engineering-sciences' section. There's some problems out there that will definitely stump even a smart LLM.

freely available satellite/aerial images in 2007 were in no way high resolution enough to identify such a tiny airplane, and in many places, they still aren't.

I've never had a problem with lineups at busy ones like the Everett, WA costco. Also keep in mind the costco gas hoses are designed to reach the far side of the car, you don't have to pull up to the side where your gas tank faces.

For anyone thinking of building like a 12x14 size back yard shed/office for year round ues, look long and hard and do the math on the cost difference in using 2x4 for the exterior wall framing vs 2x6 (like a real house). Lots of cheap

You can buy a pi 4 1GB for $49 CAD which is pretty close to the original price, especially accounting for USD:CAD conversion and inflation in the last 12 years. That's a much more normal price for something with all the I/O pins o
