That's precisely the issue, the power dynamic needs to flip. The state of USA and more worryingly the direction it is in is horrifying.

Of course I am aware, but how is this relevant today? How does that prove that the science is irrelevant and wasted?

What? What LLM were you using a decade ago? Am I misreading you?

Sorry if this sounds naive, but does it make sense to write a codec library in C/ASM considering how well Rust is progressing, especially when, as the author puts it, AV2 decoding is roughly five times more complex than AV1 decoding?

The attacker filled out my signup form 942 times, made 942 workspaces, sent 942 batches of about a hundred invitations each, and stopped. They used my tool exactly as designed. The design was just bad enough that the tool was good for phishing.

Add "X is real".

The trailer is also awful. A slopfest impossible to follow. The editing is nauseating, the sound design is uninspired and the visual quality is hallucinatory.

Fun fact: naming identifiers with leading underscores in C conflicts with reserved use and should always be avoided. I noticed Gobee declares double-underscores liberally.

Per 6.4.3 (Identifiers) of C23 (ISO/IEC 9899:202y N3886):

  — All identifiers that begin with a double underscore (__) or begin with an underscore (_) followed by an uppercase letter are reserved for any use, except those identifiers which are lexically identical to keywords.
  — All identifiers that begin with an underscore are reserved for use as identifiers with file scope in both the ordinary and tag name spaces.

And per 7.1.3 (Reserved identifiers) of C11 (ISO/IEC 9899:201x N1570):

  — All identifiers that begin with an underscore and either an uppercase letter or another underscore are always reserved for any use.

The author of this post and the readers of this thread probably do understand context window limitations, but are frustrated nonetheless.

This is a very good list. I've also looked in particular for four-legged tables for their preferable aesthetics and have seen most of the tables you linked to. HM New Canaan or the eFloat Quattro comes the closest for me as I like having a wider working area. R&B Parsons looks a little clunky. I must admit that there is still some way to go compared to the sleek designs of the USM Haller in the article or the Palladio desk.

To the extent that sticking to defaults become technical apathy, yes, that can be troublesome for Linux as a whole. If the Linux user base was to grow considerably via Omarchy, there would be a higher support burden for the specific technologies and hacks it'd use. Consider Ubuntu as an analogy. It is popular because it is used widely, not because it is innovative or moves Linux technology forward (compared to e.g. NixOS).

> I wonder how you feel about a sponsored Kubuntu conference

Oddly specific? If you were honestly interested in a technical discussion then yes, in short, I wouldn't consider Kubuntu the pinnacle of the Linux-human interface. A sponsored conference? I have no idea why that is relevant or why you brought it up in such a stingy manner.

Again, what I find interesting in these low-barrier distributions, be it Omarchy or otherwise, is the implicit burden on the rest of the Linux ecosystem. The original author of the article could have expanded on Omarchy in this relation rather than just its technical shortcomings.

I'm not negative to the growth of Linux. However, we should ask ourselves what it means that there has apparently been such a gap in the market of Linux distributions that this project has been able to fill it so swiftly, and why established distributions with steadier technical communities were not able to capture it already.

It is understandable to be frustrated at a project without technical merit gaining so much traction when, as in the author's words, "longstanding distros like Debian have struggled with funding and sponsorship for decades". However, I do feel the author fails to come up with any conclusion as to why there is such a disparity between interest in traditional distributions and this rice.

I agree that it is almost suspicious how quickly it has risen to prominence. There has been a surge of hugely popular amorphous open source projects by single or few maintainers, often created very recently. In my experience, most of the users of Omarchy are inexperienced with Linux, and use it because it doesn't require them to form their own opinions and workflows, which can be both positive and negative.

Since this thread seems to have attracted the attention of some hackers with taste, has anybody considered an adjustable height desk? If so, what brands are you looking at? They all seem to compromise on the aesthetics on the desk and end up quite clunky.

Was the comment you are replying to edited?

Criminals in our century, saviours in the succeeding.

And of course the site itself has the generic style Claude picks when you ask it to invent and follow a design system. An ouroboros of irony!

How is this not just a "Spotify tax" on tickets? I don't use Spotify, and I don't want to, because it's obnoxious crippleware. Now Spotify will reserve tickets, forcing me to prove my loyalty to their platform for some reason, before attending a concert? This doesn't make any sense. And if Live Nation cares about selling to authentic people, why do they not just take the proplem into their own hands and go after the scrapers?

I was surprised to see that the new Antigravity does not integrate at all into Google's existing Material design system. Is the implication that Material is not for power users or developers? It's built as a universal solution.

It's a slop account.

This article has a satirical quality I'm quite enjoying. To write is to think. If you're not thinking, how are you learning.

Well, I'd be surprised if non-R&D inference providers were selling at a loss. There are a plethora to choose from, competition is quite healthy. Will they keep providing cheap tokens while the labs raise their prices? Probably, but then I don't see how they could be raised in the first place. And what timescale are you talking about? A couple of years? It is appropriate to assume inference will become more efficient over time. If you raise your prices, you are going to be out competed before it's profitable (if you assume it is unprofitable) which would be negligent. I don't see how this makes sense.

If you would be proposing a ban of VPNs to shield people from social medias, you would be missing the forest for the trees.

I keep hearing that AI providers will eventually stop "subsidising inference", but I do not understand how this would make any sense economically. It is already profitable to host AI model inference for prices cheaper than the big labs are charging, as evident by the plethora of providers available to choose from on OpenRouter, for example. The only way prices could rise without competition is if you sidestepped supply and demand.

That's advertising with extra steps. Apple having created an ingroup and an outgroup is very effective advertising on their side.

Is your point that we shouldn't motivate our technological choices? I wouldn't use Docker Compose in production.

I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen when gaussian splatting can be combined with DLSS 5. Gaussian splatting has a lot of potential in video games yet to be realised.
