That's how Chrome started. I remember it showing a banner with itself on /. which froze a page on scrolling over it for a few seconds. In all browsers except Chrome. Never understood this Chrome-go-go mob mentality that everyone h

In my view, it’s self-hostile, not AI-hostile. Other sites that I have visited may discuss how AI works or how to tinker with the internals of open models. But no other place except HN was themed “Prophecies of AI” that much. We are just ba

Started with yes and no, but thinking more of it, basically yes. I’m interested in AI tech (not philosophy or prophecies). But HN isn’t that great of a source for tech details. Reddit and local boards helped much more. At the same time I ha

Otoh, no-score sites mostly become either *chans or slow forums with lots of ceremony and zero feedback on anything. It turns out if you get rid of groupthink, you get rid of either group or think as well. I really admire HN dynamics in thi

This is our nature. People who aren't affected by "KPI" are the minority. That's why forums must be very careful with choosing a set of published indicators, because people will "play" these, often unreflective

In general I tend to balance my karma around 0 on most sites, treating it as a sort of a currency. But some forums ask nicely to not do that, so I don't, cause I'm a relatively nice guy, and if they ask instead of commanding it, t

Bloated is an emotion, it's not a technical term. The related, most commonly known technical term is "DLL hell". And I absolutely love to work with flatpak, because not once in my job I thought about it, apart from looking wh

Thanks, I think it got better in at least one instance of those. But for some reason programming.dev is okay either way. Feels like posts don’t change if I switch between all/local. Why is that?

So you’re not experiencing exactly this with pip/etc? I hit this “just rebuild this 10GB venv” scenario like twice a day while learning ML. Maybe it’s just ML, but then regular node projects don’t have complex build-step / version

Oh, tell us OS can’t venv itself a separate python root and keep itself away from what user invents to manage deps. This is non-explanation appealing to authority while it’s clearly just a mess lacking any thought. It just works like this.

Why can’t python just adopt something like yarn/pnpm + and effing stop patch-copying its binaries into a specific path? And pick up site_packages from where it left it last time? Wtf. How hard it is to just pick python-modules directo

I'm just not reading any of it - not interested. SM addiction is so 2015. I have technical accounts to be able to search for something (e.g. while training loras) or to watch without annoying popups when someone links me to it. This dr

It was literally the unit with implementation part just missing. Sort of a header that you can just read(?). Idk if it played a role in compilation, probably not. But some commercial libraries packaged them as well. Here, look at this rando

Sorry for the offtopic, but I wonder what Salesforce does in AI at all, because isn’t it a boring CRM company from the previous century? Like they just wanted to do AI two years ago and nike ’d it.

I don’t need anything to be “forced” on me, especially when this forcing is nominal and I can #include implementation details. You may need that in teams with absurdly inattentive or stubborn members, but for you-personally it’s enough to g

This is the linux I remember and loved. I can tolerate it today. In rare cases I configure it back to normal, but only if it’s a great obstacle (like coloring ls output to the background color of a terminal).

This is an old idea behind “everything is file” and plan9, afaik. FUSE allows this, you can easily write a “driver” that does exactly this on a mountpoint like /mnt/mywebfs/whatever.com/search?q=…. /proc (procfs) is

Is it true that non-gguf models are basically all Q4-equivalent? I'm always not sure which one to download to get the "default score".

This test/src separation always felt like html/css to me. When still using C, I wrote tests right after a function as a static function with “test_” in the name. And one big run-all-tests function at the end. All you have to do th

I remember int/impl sections since the 1990’s turbo pascal, which wasn’t “object” still, iirc. Also, commercial closed-source units (modules) were often distributed in a .tpu/.dcu + .int form, where .int was basically its source c

I used to think like this, but then I discovered generating (prj_root)/types.d.ts. It doesn’t do anything technical because types are in src/**/*, but I do that to generate a quick overview for a project I’m returning to afte

My one-shot memory worsened with years but grasping concepts from examples got much better due to experience. So I find walls of text much less useful than a continuous “synopsis” of snippets and best practices. One usage example is worth
