Lol, understandable. I actually like kiwi browser quite a lot on mobile. Extensions, Devtools(!!!) make it especially great. Try that if you want (it's on top of chromium android). I use brave mo…

Once upon a time (windows 8 I believe) you could install the "mobile" version of office apps on the desktop and just use that for free. Limited in functionality, but free. This seems to be s…

Got to love the (oblivious) american moral superiority

They implement ublock origin compatible adblocking in the browser, not as an extension. Manifest v2/3 is irrelevant to brave's adblock capabilities.

It is possible to understand the mechanism once you drop the anthropomorphisms. Each token output by an LLM involves one pass through the next-word predictor neural network. Each pass is a fixed amoun…

This idea exists (the broad field is called neural architecture search), although you have to parameterize it somehow to allow gradient descent to happen. Here are examples: https://arxiv.o…

There's a nice way to halfway-fix that issue. It makes use of the fact that most bash commands that we copy are prefixed with a $ and a space. It also requires your terminal emulator to have a wa…

I'll do one better eval `llm "bash script to get 5 random links from indieblogs and print one on each line"` You could say it's a self mutating program.

> Could C add a borrow checker As I understand it, doing it while maintaining compatibility with old code is not possible. You'd have to add new required syntax for annotations and such.

Sure, and openbsd has traded off being a desktop OS for not tainting their code with the Bluetooth stack

> isn't viable for every use case Yes, and desktop, especially laptop, is an example.

There are a grand total of zero valid reasons for not including bluetooth in a desktop OS.

Nice, right from the horse's mouth. Let me watch that.
