built on GNOME OS

That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Tim Sweeney has a shitty take? Must be a day ending in Y!

I think it’s also fair to say this can be considered research into his take on LLMs.

Based on the actual bug report, because the people working on this are volunteers and the workaround is simple.

If you think fixing bugs like these is a worthwhile endeavour, chip in some money or volunteer. There are many ways for people volunteer that aren’t writing code, so if you aren’t a software developer don’t let that discourage you.

He wants everyone to become prompt engineers sloperators.

This take is so cold it could make solid helium.

(I agree FWIW)

Oh I’m not complaining that action was taken. The issue is that the tools available to us are antithetical to copyleft. All the takedown means is that nobody gets access to this code, whereas what we need is for everyone to get access to it under the proper license.

We really need a better answer to stuff like this than DMCA takedowns. They make sense for someone who doesn’t want their stuff made available at all, but it’s kinda the opposite of what’s needed for copyleft violations.

To be fair, Windows has had standby issues forever, so the only thing that’s different here from 20 years ago is that Linux does it reliably.

Relies on awk

Doubly evil given that GPU prices are still ridiculous.

Daily driving Kubuntu 26.04

As someone who owns several RISC-V devices the primary thing preventing usable (low end) RISC-V laptops is the GPUs. Most RISC-V silicon has Imagination GPUs, and the current state of the drivers there is “proprietary drivers stuck on an old LTS kernel.”

If someone makes an RVA23 compliant chip with open mainstreamable drivers and a BXS-4-64 GPU (or, better yet, somehow manages to license a GPU from Intel or AMD for it), that’ll be a cash cow.

They don’t in general, but things that do heavily detailed graphics work (like your compositor or browser) or lots of cryptography work on the CPU can get a bit more out of those newer instructions than many other programs.

Very approximately, things that Gentoo offers prebuilt versions of because compiling them is so resource intensive are often the things that can get the best benefit out of your architecture variant. (Not singling out Gentoo here as an example of “doing it badly” - they do the sensible thing by providing these prebuilt binaries, but in some ways it defeats the purpose of optimised source distributions.)

It’s a Hard Problem™ to solve.

Services I know that have both HTTPS and SSH access have seen all sorts of weird stuff seemingly related to LLM bot scraping over the past few months. Enough to bring down some git servers.

Look I don’t have heat in the winter so I compile Firefox for various processors to keep my bedroom warm okay?

The irony is that big things like Firefox can get the most advantages from building for your specific CPU variant, especially if you use them frequently.

I don’t know what’s worse: the fact that nobody at Microsoft registered that short URL for the lulz or the resulting destination for short URLs that don’t get found.

Yummy!

Discourse, not Discord. The accounts are managed through the same SSO that manages Launchpad accounts, so the devs who will use this already have an account.
