thanks for this!

It's free for now, just like registries were "free" and docker desktop was free.. until they weren't. I am not against Docker capitalizing and charging for their services (as they should); however, the pattern of offering a service for free and then reneging after it's widely adopted, makes me hesitant to adopt any of their offerings.

A month or two after a visit to Iceland (my favorite country by far by the way), I received a ticket in the mail for speeding. It included a picture of the car I rented and a closeup of the driver's face- a face that did not belong to me (presumably another renter).

Luckily, a quick phone call and a copy of my drivers license cleared things up, but systems like these inevitably lead to "guilty until proven innocent" scenarios instead of "innocent until proven guilty".

works for me

From the abstract, it sure sounds like any electronic checkers or chess game would fall under this patent. If so, I'm sure there is plenty of prior art to invalidate their claim.

I'm not even sure it saves a ton of time to be honest. It sure _feels_ like I spend more time writing up tasks and researching/debugging hallucinations than just doing the thing myself.

So that would include everything? - cloud/hosting expenses - system administrators/devops engineers and their laptops, workstations - project management software, office software, support, etc - project managers, designers, technical writers, qa engineers - software licenses, domain names, certificates, etc - internet bandwidth, data-centers, HVAC, backups

Proxmox uses qemu for vm’s.

Everson on the @GeekDetour YouTube channel explores how a patent filed in 2020 could be preventing our slicers from generating stronger 3d prints using "Brick Layers". He shows, what appears to me at least, to be pretty clear evidence of prior art that _should_ invalidate the patent.

I'm not a lawyer but would love to see this added to all slicers.

Watch his 8 minute video and/or read his open patreon blog post (https://www.patreon.com/posts/115566868) and help spread the conversation.

little known fact: you can write shorthand for any ip address. It simply omits 0. Ie 127.0.0.1 (or 127.000.000.001). Try pinging it. `ping 127.1`

10.0.0.3 -> ping 10.3

It sounds like the same requirements as a 70b+ model, but if someone manages to get inference running locally on a single rtx4090 (AMD 7950x3D w/ 64GB ddr5) reasonably well, please let me know.

I totally agree. And some long/complex files are simply unavoidable (shell/build scripts, config files, etc).

This is not always possible and a little short-sighted, especially when you are on a large, complex, established project with many contributors, where "just refactor 1.5 million lines of code, spanning 1500 files that have evolved over a 10 year period" is just something not open for debate.

In those cases, and in the cases where a single large file just makes more sense or is unavoidable (IaC/build scripts, shell/sql/migration scripts, config files, etc.), the author's methods are absolutely valuable.

I find if you subscribe to the "Write libraries not software" mantra where your libraries/packages/classes are focused and adhere to the single responsibility principal, code organization kinda sorts itself out. But I agree with the author that organizing and commenting long files like this makes it easier to grok what's going on.

But if you are clicking around a project and scrolling with your mouse, instead of taking advantage of your IDE's ability to use keystrokes to find and open files, jump to references/definitions, find and replace text, etc., you are handicapping yourself. It's worth the investment to learn.

Assuming you have python installed on the system, yeah.

Starred! And thanks to the author for taking the time to answer so many questions here!

A camera shutter? Are they getting into photography?

I really like the idea of something like vlang (https://vlang.io), as I've tried multiple times to find the motivation to learn Rust, but always end up going back to golang for the simplicity.

The primary reason I do not use the va.gov online services.

The US is getting better about it, some more than others, but a few off the top of my head..

I realize how much effort is going into a project like this and I do hope you find a way to monetize on it, but until it's open sourced and auditable, I personally could never see me using it. The risk is simply too high.

All I know is FEDEX ships packages to my house. UPS ships packages to my house (with a smile).. USPS either stuffs everything they can into my mailbox like they are packing a mortar tube; or more often than not, they simply tell me to suck it and come pick it up.

Nothing sucked worse than being the last guy to the MRE box. But hey, making "MRE bombs" out of the heaters was always fun.

I cancelled my premium, unsubscribed from all my channels, and have stopped browsing YouTube (which I did daily for years).

Basically, I've stopped using YouTube as a source for finding new content. If I get linked to a video from a trusted source (here, reddit, etc), then I'll watch the video, but they lost me as a member of the community.

How about censoring Dislikes? This is in progress now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxOuG8jMIgI&t=1s

The like to dislike ratio on their video is exactly why we need to see the counts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxOuG8jMIgI

This will make the site useless for finding new content and content creators. And what's the point of a Like count without a Dislike count?

I'll just assume every video has as many, if not more, dislikes and will turn to other sources for finding quality content (if at all).

And they might as well get rid of the comments section too cause that's where people will voice their opinions.. but maybe that's part of the plan.

Anyway, I've been a paying premium member since the beginning but the second I stop seeing dislike counts is the second I find other things to do with my time. Sad, because I really enjoy surfing YouTube.

I still see dislikes but will be cancelling my premium the second they go away.

Learned a lot, thanks for the write up!

I have never had a positive experience with anything related to IBM. Granted, my experience has been few and far between, but I'm guessing that's a good thing.
