Retelling distro descriptions like this, whether by human, or by text generator, can only be useful to absolute noobs who've never heard about any of those. It tells nothing about the quirks of actually running those systems daily.

I would advise to go in the opposite direction. Choose an LTS release of a popular distribution, a DE that is not designed with transparencies and shadows in mind, and a software-oriented window manager if you have an anemic card released before the era of hardware compositing in desktops. If it works fine, enjoy using supported software, then test zram, schedulers, spectre+meltdown-enabling kernel patches, and other options to boost performance if you like.

By the way, everyone knows that SSD is the first component needed by a slow PC. A second one is a dedicated GPU instead of integrated one. Even if it's completely mediocre, it still has plenty of VRAM and more than enough bandwidth for display controller to waste (unlike your main memory). And any kind of hardware acceleration integrated GPU pretends to do natively usually seems to result in 2× or 3× more memory transfers than needed to get things on screen.
Thanks! Good places to start from!
And when they respond, they will often make things go sooo slow. Like how the huge Apple Safari issue took a year from reporting to public disclosure.
Does it count as a cultural tradition if it was manufactured within the last 2 generations? It’s kinda like asking a family if they celebrate Toyotathon or Hondadays as a tradition.
The binary size is not really important in this case, llama.cpp should not be that far from this, what's matter as we all know is how much gpu memory we need.
Key point, the effort must be mutual. Putting your partner first at your detriment should be an intolerable proposition to your partner. In all things, moderation.

I was reading my comments again, and I can understand how someone might interpret them differently.

That was my point. If you married someone who doesn't like diamonds, fine.

The original comment was about "shenanigans like buying something else and passing it off as a diamond". Isn't there anything your partner likes? Would you buy something else because you don't wish to spend $X on Y, "passing it off as Y", and embarrass her in front of her friends?

If you’re asking about OP, that’s what it says

> By analyzing the new API, we’ve learned that it has an extension endpoint declared in the system, which means that other apps can create extensions of this type. Digging even further, we found a new, unused entitlement that will give third-party apps permission to install other apps. In other words, this would allow developers to create their own app stores.

> The API has basic controls for downloading, installing, and even updating apps from external sources. It can also check whether an app is compatible with a specific device or iOS version, which the App Store already does. Again, this could easily be used to modernize MDM solutions, but here’s another thing.

> We also found references to a region lock in this API, which suggests that Apple could restrict it to specific countries. This wouldn’t make sense for MDM solutions, but it does make sense for enabling sideloading in particular countries only when required by authorities – such as in the European Union.

If you’re asking about my proposal, an MDM solution is certainly a far cry from Apple endorsing and selectively approving third party app stores as a means to essentially outsource the duties of running the App Store to other parties while taking a cut through different means.
I'm getting lost in all that.

Using llama cpp and mlc-llm. Both on my 2 years old mobile Ryzen APU with 64GB of RAM. First does not use GPU at all, tried plenty of options, nothing did work, but llama 34B works - painfully slow, but does work. Second is working on top of Vulkan and I didn't take any precise measurements but it's limit looks like is 32GB RAM (so no llama 34B), but it offloads CPU, unfortunately seem like performance is similar to CPU (that is my perception, didn't take any measurements here too).

So ... will I get any benefits from switching to rust/webassembly version???
> In my view, the web is 95% small to medium projects.

I'm not sure that view is correct. For one thing, I'm not sure how you even define this.

As technology has advanced, many of the "small/medium" projects that used to require lots of dev time have turned into fully-built alternatives. The days when you need a dev to setup a blog are gone, as are the days you need one to setup a store, or a simple marketing website.

Are these part of the 95%? In some sense, yes, but in the sense of giving advice on a framework to choose, not at all, because no dev will even be making that choice - it's irrelevant.

As for medium-sized projects, there are tens of thousands of small, internal company tools that aren't even on the open internet. They probably fit your definition of being medium sized, let's say have a few devs working on them for many years, certainly medium sized compared to FB etc - but I'm not sure that whether this approach is right or wrong for them. (Genuinely not sure!)

I'm just saying, you need to much better define what you mean by small and medium sized, because some people might be thinking of my definition, while for some people medium-sized is, idk, AirBNB, which is tiny compared to FB but gigantic compared to most projects out there.
I used to live in Antwerp, Belgium, the self-proclaimed diamond capital of the world. Lodewyk Van Bercken, some 15th century dude who was able to cut diamonds to their stereotypical shape, used to live here.

In 2023, the city seems to think that diamonds are cool, with a diamond museum, public transport stops named after diamonds, tax cuts and promotions. In reality, however, it's mostly a bunch of very shady looking shops, the occasionally robbery, embargoed Russian imports, and a fair bit of crime. It's entirely unclear why the city is so seemingly proud and obsessed with diamonds.

Instead of realising that this trash is worthless, and this industry would be better off dead, they're spending money on tracing systems (an actual block chain implementation!), including microscopic laser etchings to identify diamonds.
The way things are going, we'll see more efficient and faster methods to run transformer arch on edge, but I'm afraid we're approaching the limit because you can't just rust your way out of the VRAM requirements, which is the main bottleneck in loading large-enough models. One might say "small models are getting better, look at Mistral vs. llama 2", but small models are also approaching their capacity (there's only so much you can put in 7b parameters).

I don't know man, this approach to AI doesn't "feel" like it'll lead to AGI—it's too inefficient.
I'm sure everyone's aware, but just in case: this is not actually Wikipedia.

What's it with HN's obsession with ECC RAM?

Also, doesn't DDR5 have built-in ECC?

Also, the website talks about M.2 for the SSD form factor. M.2 describes a physical connector standard. I would imagine that's enough to imply that it's not soldered SSDs.
"I care that people can have a faster version of prettier, not how it's implemented." & "... for any project written in Rust" are contradictory.

There are good reasons to write without worrying about publishing at all. One reason is that thinking about what will be 'publishable' will most likely greatly distort what you choose to write about.

Applies to most creative activities. It seems that many highly popular creatives were having great fun being creative, and that their audience shares in that enjoyment.

Of course some people would like to be able to support themselves in that way. But, then, it's probably best to let your audience find you first.

You’re being pretty harsh on yourself there. Wealth doesn’t only depend on your own efforts and behavior, but a myriad other things. Also, how do you calculate whether they are left with more than you? Is that about inflation adjusted wealth, or other things like education, resilience, number of hours spent with their dad, physical and mental health?

> Is the look/feel/controls consistent across browsers? (No.)

And to think that having a native look-and-feel used to be considered a must for any desktop application!

I would be much happier if all websites's UI components (not the actual website design of course) had the look-and-feel native to my browser (and if browsers actually cared to make them look good, TBH) rather than inventing their own dumb styles for everything.
I am also against buying expensive stones, but for a different reason. If you view diamonds as status symbols, buying them is not irrational. It's just an approach to life that I don't follow.
120 - or twelfty to friends - is a delight.

"The long hundred, also known as the great hundred or twelfty,[is the number 120 (in base-10 Hindu-Arabic numerals) that was referred to as hund, hund-teontig, hundrað, hundrath, or hundred in Germanic languages prior to the 15th century, and is now known as one hundred twenty, or six score."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_hundred

"120 is highly composite, superior highly composite, superabundant,[3] and colossally abundant. With sixteen divisors, 120 is the smallest number to have that many divisors..."

Can't say I'm familiar with this type of webdev. How is the CSS isolated at a 'component' level? Is that not what selectors already do? I'm having trouble picturing how this is built or how it works.

Traditionally you put your template HTML or just HTML in one place, CSS in another, and JS in yet another, then tie them together via <style> and <script>. Are you saying there are frameworks that tie HTML and CSS together into the same unit? That is rather strange to me.

In such an environment, do people decide on no structure for their class names? I'd still want reusable CSS in such a situation.
The point is there's no one who is not irrational. It's foundationally human.
Her glass video was awesome!
For a quick example, Bevy needs to implement some trait for functions with a variable number of inputs. However it doesn't stop there, it also needs to store some state for each input, in other words it need to map that `fn(...T)` into a `(...State<T>)`. How do you model this with generics? When I tried to think about this every way I found to express this didn't allow the consumer code to call any methods on those `State`s, essentially making this useless.

Well they could work any way the author wanted, but if it were me, I'd make the plugins WASM.

That's how my favorite code formatter (dprint) does it.

For that matter though, it's how I would implement just about any plugin, these days, except those that need to exchange large info rapidly (e.g. an editor plugin that needs to operate on every key press).

It's dead easy to implement on the app side, and plugin authors can use an increasing number of higher-level languages to build plugins.

Interesting, as a non-expert I thought it was broader than that. The resulting diagram has 5 directions:

But your points about the 'false choice' seemingly often presented by two party systems is well taken, as well as how you highlight the limitations of capturing a multitude of views given the binary nature of the questions involved! :)

Still, with 20 binary questions you can reach a million possibilities. I guess I hoped this was some sort of good approximation of a cutting plan in a classifier.

It is open source. Even if google pulled all funding … the language is maintainable.

First of all it’s not just an issue of maintaining the language itself, but all of the associated tooling as well. Second of all, it’s not just that Google could pull support, but that Google could choose to prioritize their own needs over the rest of the community.

And btw. Languages don't have to continuously evolve to remain viable. … If Go showed one thing, it is that PLs don't need to add as many features as possible.

Go advocates say this often enough that it’s honestly beginning to come off as an insecurity. And I would be concerned about cultivating a community around “less is more, Go should only evolve as a last resort”.

Moreover, keep in mind that the primary selling point of Go were goroutines. At the time Go was particularly well suited to exploit a gap left by other languages. Fast forward to today and Go has become a significantly less compelling option.

And just to prove that point: C is still a top rated language in terms of usage. When was it last updated?

Projects written in pure ISO C are relatively few and far between. In fact many high profile C projects are exclusively tied to one or two compilers. Furthermore, ISO C has delegated a lot of functionality to external standards like POSIX instead of giving them first class support, not to mention the plethora of nonstandard language extensions found in many compilers[0]. In other words, ISO C has stagnated, albeit C23 is a big update, while the C language has evolved.

Anyway, as I see it, golang is basically a dead end as a PL. It doesn’t interface well with other languages, it doesn’t substantially differentiate itself as a PL, any nuance you encounter with the language is likely to never be fixed, it’s a poor language for writing great libraries and/or abstractions, etc. That said, plenty of great businesses have been built on top of languages like PHP, so it can definitely work. Personally I don’t expect anything like another kubernetes coming out of the language again.
