Isn't it "writing things down" that helps you think? Does it have to be "hand writing" in particular?

It's demanded by the standard to check whether the devices are in physical proximity. And BT LE is the chosen method.

This doesn't work if the device you want to login on doesn't have Bluetooth.

I don't have hardware to runs this, so no, I didn't.

One thing that I had experience with, that led me to believe this might be true: it seems one of the earlier llama models was over-tuned to resist generating CSAM. Once I tried a somewhat sensitive prompt containing the word "girl" in it. Llama only ever generated refusals for this prompt, citing I was prompting for CSAM. GPTs and Claudes of that era had no issues with the same prompt.

One thing I read on this topic on reddit is never EVER use the word "girl" when prompting H3. So CSAM probably.

Because there's no VRAM. The “regular” RAM on Apple Silicon devices is shared with the GPU virtually in its entirety.

One of the Passkeys/WebAuthn spec people made a huge fuss over how KeePassXC did their export function https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/10407

May I push back on the idea that a single word may mean (completely) different things?

I'm pretty sure ISRG doesn't want to deal with payments any more than they do now (i.e. outside of donations and sponsorships)

Flutter uses canvas when targeting the web. (At least it was the last time I looked at it years ago)

That sounds like really bad insulation. Energy, in form of a hot or cold air shouldn't simply disappear from a properly insulated dwelling

I donʼt have many strong points, it mostly feels nice to use, be it browsing or participating.

But to name a couple of points: itʼs index-able by search engines (compared to a certain similarly named popular “alternative”); robust topic tracking system: I know exactly where I left each topic off.

I wish for the opposite.

Nekit1234007 — Mon, 25 Jul 2022 07:36:00 +0000

Just like creating any sort of archive. You (or a program of sorts) create the fs structure in some directory, then invoke something like `mkdwarfs -i /path/to/that/directory -o /path/to/output/file.dfs`

Yes! https://manpages.debian.org/testing/squashfs-tools/unsquashf...

I believe 7z can do that as well.
