Similar in Brazil, orkut was the social network here

It doesn't, it is a runtime for running Portable Executables[1] on the fly while also mocking windows API libraries to Linux implementations

Nice moment to hook the git-maintenance[1] command, which setups automatic pre-fetching of a repository in a scheduled manner. That way you don't need to remember to manually update your mirrors. Since the repo is public, cloning with https is a simpler setup for prefetching, but ssh is also supported with some configuring.

Edit: wrong link

Not only training, you can literally clone the source code locally and ask the agent to debug your problem by grepping the kernel itself. Even if doesn't "know" the answer it can investigate it on the fly, that's super powerful

No auto mode is the thing that bothers me, I don't trust the cli blindly nor do I trust myself to read every python script it throws at me. Auto mode is an acceptable middle ground in my experience

Most people say full agentic coding only got good enough for production at end of last year. This year was the turning point for most companies. A lot of experiments going now right now.

Of course things can change drastically in the next years, as they already have in the last few.

Only thing I know is that it is really stressful working on this rat race

Have you tried setting up systemd-oomd [1]? It works by killing the offending process (hopefully) before a true OOM.

When I run in a frozen system because of RAM, I'm a happy user of the Magic SysRq 'f' [2], it bypasses most kernel scheduling so it works even on frozen systems

For OOM, there's earlyoom [1] and systemd-oomd [2]. They usually work out of the box

Like xkill? [1]

Just be careful where you click

IMO AI companies are selling the infrastructure and easier access to the models, beyond competing to get the smarter model. We can run Qwen locally, but at what cost? A good enough GPU for running 27B is more than 4,000 USD where I live (Brazil). Even if I were to spend 100s of hours in credits I would never reach a point where the 4000 USD investment pays off. Unless I'm doing it for the sport, building my own LLM rig is not financially viable.

This is without saying that company clients of Anthropic or OpenAI will not have the upfront money to get a RTX 3090 for each and every employee. Much better to sign a deal with the LLM providers and get cheaper token price with a sales person.

If the public interest is divided, what should be ICE's interest? This applies to other enforcing orgs too. Should it take the majority even if the debate is close to a tie?

In most cases, what wins is the interests of people in power, for all domestic policing

Would they not allow it? Rockstar is the owner of the game, they can update any removal of content if they want to. Modern games frequently change gameplay, story, and soundtrack between versions

You can dowgrade a version of a game, if you want to. Is not as easy as clicking a button, but it is possible and not against ToS

I'm not talking about licenses or owning the game, I'm talking about if a publisher removes a game for whatever reason, you don't immediately lose access to that game, you can play it forever after. That is their current de facto policy, with probably a few exceptions.

The discussion on wether you truly own a licensed game is a different thing from what I said.

The GTA case is because js technically an update from Rockstar, not specifically Steam's fault here. There are always to downgrade a game, but true, it is not as easy as GoG.

Steam's policy is that an already published game can only be delisted, allowing old owners to still play the game. I still own the original versions of Skyrim (before Anniversary edition, definitive edition, and all other *ditions), and I can still download it and play it, even though that version is not available for purchase in the store anymore.

Xbox and PSN don't have such luxuries AFAIK, after a game is removed from the store you cannot keep downloading and playing them.

PC is the last bastion for gaming freedom, a place to patch your game to use community servers. And for better or worse, piracy and emulation is always an option for the games that have any restrictions

Nope, not at all, very different etymologies

Aside from being more flexible they are mostly the same game. The original excuse for bedrock was that Java was slow and a native game would render much better, it was also easier to put shaders in a a native codebase. But Java edition is pretty performant nowadays and computers also got much more stronger than the game became heavier

Mainly networking and namespaces, same reasons why we run services on docker instead of old multi-user setups

Roko's Basilisk is dumb, but not the dumbest thing I heard people taking seriously

Not needed for working, but I always find GE's improvements on performance much better than stock Proton. I usually default my games to it anyway, since it is always installed

It is obvious when you think that 3d volumes scale cubicly and 1d lengths scale linearly. Adding another 1 meter to a cube of said filaments would increase the total length by a power of 3!

2x RTX3090 is extremely overkill for gaming, you can run any released game on earth on ultra for much less

Some, but not all, most don't. Ideally they would all work, ReactOS doesn't make a priority on being a "safer" option, just an open source option

In the article there's no mention on the targeting works, self guided munitions have machines as targets, usually. A drone by itself might kill civilians and even allies if ot misidentifies a person or animal.

I'm using Ground News for skimming through the news, their ads are everywhere, but it is a somewhat good product. I pay for the most basic plan and it is pretty cheap. If I want a deeper dive in some story I look the links to the original posts their provide

I'm not saying that is good nor that is bad, looking through the anthropology lens there's no value judgement.

Besides, differently from your shocking examples, cultures and languages don't "die" as you seem to imply, they evolve, and that part is natural and not bad or good. Portuguese (and English) will change we liking it or not

To be fair, it is only natural: Portuguese itself only came to be because the Roman Empire conquered the Lusitan land [1], a lot of English comes from Norman French from the Norman conquest [2], the Americas didn't speak European languages until 500 years ago or so, etc.

If you give enough time, all languages will change, and some of them because of major political changes/conquests

It is pretty small when considering content output. It is only 11 million people, and only a fraction of them will be writing something that could be used on training datasests. If you look at the countries by scientific contribution, for example [1], Portugal is on the 28th position, while Brazil is in 14th by more than double the number of contributions.

Don't get me wrong, it is definitely impressive given Portugal's actual size, but I believe there's a hard limit for population and size that will be difficult to cross

We had TED, but it was not instant, nor was it free. It only worked on working hours and took a maximum of 1h, still better than American banks, though. QR Codes is also a big deal.

The deployment of PIX was also really well executed, if it took too much I'm 100% sure that Visa and Master would've made it worse. Being quick was a wise decision
