I've resently learnt about Q# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_Sharp though I haven't tried it yet.

Well.. today I learned that there is a thing called "Safe Browsing protocol" and Firefox 147.0 switched from v4 to v5 :)

The big challenge in linux (at least for me) is to connect and work with devices like printers or scanners. It is weird but when I connected my (now old) printer a decade ago its setup was easier and more stable. After several years and ubuntu upgrades at some point I wasn't managed to make it work at all.. And I had no luck with my scanner at all.. Luckily I don't need to use neither printer neither scanner these days but I still keep a laptop (also old) with win7 and all original drivers for such devices.

It is cool but remember that not all the world uses Fahrenheit for temperature :)

I solve chess puzzles sometimes

This time I read LotR in original for the first time and this was quite an effort for me as non-native English speaker. And yes - poems and songs have much more sens and much more beautiful in original if compared with translated ones.

I wish ChatGPT also had collapsable answers. Now the answers are quite long in most of cases and the whole threads become inconvenient to scroll.

The Lord of the Rings

Heh.. they used ancient .su domains (soviet union) in several places, I wonder where it is possible to register them nowadays and how easy it is?

From a technical perspective this is a pin-hole camera :)

I'd say it's not only the greedy corporations but maybe technical challenges. Compare with clutter on ISS or in earlier spacecrafts - also claustrophobic, narrow and packed with equipment.

"The Second Coming" also comes to mind.

The author mentions that they considered FastAPI and this looks more sane decision as for me then rather radical jump into Node.js.

Ah, that's cool! Thanks!

Thanks! I can't imagine how to code in this style everyday, tbh :)

Could you elaborate? :) I found OrangeC Compiler but I'm not sure this is the OCC you've mentioned.

Is this supposed to be a specific coding style or paradigm?

I’ve never seen code written like this in real-world projects — maybe except for things like the "business card ray tracer". When I checked out Arthur Whitney’s Wikipedia page I noticed he also made the J programming language (which is open source) and the code there has that same super-dense style https://github.com/jsoftware/jsource/blob/master/jsrc/j.c

While this is very cool and llamafiles are quite universal there is anyway a nuance for Window systems which is the size limit for a Windows executable which is 4Gb maximum. As LLM models are tend to be quite large this limit is reached pretty fast. So for such cases llamafile.exe will be required (which is also universal and runs everywhere). And at the end it could be just llama.cpp tools which released for all platforms + the LLM model file itself.

It is probably a reference to Stanislaw Lem's books https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepulka

Well.. my judgment was based on the facts from the article, which are mostly about the amount and sophistication of equipment. I also read more facts from this link posted there as a reference https://apnews.com/article/unga-threat-telecom-service-sim-9... - they mention 300 SIM servers and 100K SIM cards which is quite impressive as for me. Also, for some reasons all of this is clustered around the UN facilities (in 35 miles radius). Even if all of this is related to spam only activities this is quite a large investment as for me and that's why I'm not really convinced this is just some "normal" thing to see.

An interesting choosing of words - "It's just normal criminal enterprise for sending SMS spam and anonymous messages." It doesn't look anyway "normal" as for me. I feel that this guy just says me "move along, nothing to see here" and resembles some South Park absurdity tbh. As for me it looks quite advanced (though I'm not an expert here) for just sending spam messages.

yeah, the 15th standard.. https://xkcd.com/927/ :)

Could it be a result of a caching of some sort? I suppose in case of LLM they can't make a direct cache but they could group prompts using embeddings and produce some most common result maybe? (this is just a theory)

well.. nobody cares now I suppose.

> I'm slowly starting to think that NATO/EU is using Ukraine as a trench war test ground

Ukrainian government even officially proposed that some time ago as I remember.

I'd say this is more like Wolfenstein 3D :)

I have started with F1 around pandemic too :) I took me some time to figure out what DRS is and why and how it is used. Regarding the cars and dominance - if I'm not wrong Red Bull previously contracted with Honda and they gave them superb engines. Now their contract is over and Honda is working with McLaren. So looks like who uses Honda is the winner, at least in recent years.

> DynamoDB You can now have empty fields

When this was changed? I think this is still an issue, I've had some such errors quite recently.

Ah, I see, thanks!

Such sites can exists on things like S3 forever probably. The only things to care about are domain name and certificates.
