A bit OT, but how many people use Gnome ? or KDE ? The only stat I see is that it's about 1.2% of Steam users which are about 120 millions. So we're talking about 1 million here and I guess many devs don't play games so that&

Somehow I was expecting the swarm to fly much faster... Still impressive though.

that's super right. Got first hand unfortunate experience. The simple thing is: please managers don't buy the work-hard-to-compete ethos. It's not because you can take it that others can or should.

I wonder how many people on earth can compute 8_000_000_000 * 0.001% 'cos obviously I'm not in that part :-)

I won't work there : "We contribute to human progress by empowering people to express themselves, live in the moment, learn about the world, and have fun together." Do they really believe that ? Can't they just say they

0.001% is already about 800_000 people :-)

As an old guy, I'd say computers where a pretty unknown thing when we got them... That was new and niche when it all started. So we had the feeling of entering something totally new. But we were alone, on different computers, so a lot

After 20 years not coding (or coding in python, ruby, R, that sort of thing), I started up writing code in rust that needs performance (emulator). I was absolutely amazed by the quality of the compiler today compared to what I had 20 years

The idea is not bad but it sounds a bit extreme... Indeed choosing the right sorting algorithm is important and depends on one's problem to solve. But, 99.99% of the time, a general, all-round algorithm will do the job within 99% of th

> Limiting the production of oil in any sense is going to increase the price. That's a fallacy. If you limit the production, then you have less oil. The fact that the price increase is due to competing, individual, interests. If you

> They don't see what they have to gain by releasing the code, but they worry that it may create issues if they do. If they don't gain/loose anything but we gain something, I see a net positive for society.

I'm really suprised by the low number of cables between, say, Europe an US. Are those "big" ? I mean there are 20 or so cables for the whole traffic between these two regions, those must have a lot of bandwidth !

I understand I can query such a model, one query at a time. But are there way to query these models with several queries in a row such that the N+1-th query benefit from the knowledge that was used to answer the N first questions ? Basical

My 35+ years experience (ah ah!) tells me that emacs is the best :-) Just kidding... I code small stuff nowadays, so emacs is just fine. But if I had to get into something big, I'd certainly use a tool with powerful and fast code navig

I'm locked in emacs (joke intended). But I must admit that my rust/LSP experience with Emacs doesn't hold 5 seconds in front of what I've just seen on the Zas website...

For me things started to get interesting once I set up CUA mode to have the same key shortcuts as in the usual Windows world (ctrl-C for copy, ctrl-V for paste and so on). Once I got that I was able to work on text file, programs etc. Then

Thx for this answer, it's quite convincing. I'll look at the trend in electrification instead of the trend of CO2 emission !

Two questions : 1/ How much CO2 was emitted to train this ? How much to query it ? 2/ Does Google use that in its search engine ? I'd be very happy to have that kind of AI helping me to find the information I need !

Climate change is real for me. Heat wave + asthma are sometimes really tough to endure; big winds and more frequent floods (and more extreme) have destroyed the budget of the some parts of the state I live in for a very long time: it means
