I saw this movie. Schindler's List, was it? History really does repeat itself.

Can't tell a darn thing from the linked page or the home page. What language? What platforms? Either I'm really dumb or the page is incomprehensibly designed with no actionable information.

How would it be for a 2D game?

> DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 (Reasoning, Max Effort) is amongst the leading models in intelligence and well priced when comparing to other models of similar price.

Similar price? Doesn't make sense. Maybe they meant power, capability or speed?

Seems short sighted for an interim policy, to me. Why not just require clear and detailed disclosure of the use of said tools, to generate data for which to make a properly informed non interim decision?

SomeHacker44 — Mon, 27 Jul 2026 13:43:57 +0000

VS Code, with typical extensions for the langauge in use but no AI integration

Git

Antigravity CLI or Claude CLI

Whatever support is needed (JVM, CLR, etc.)

Arch Linux or rarely Windows 11

Agree. I would pay for it.

Any recommendations on how to use OpenGL from the CLR (.Net/C#) please?

Yes! 100x this. I do this all the time with my print technical books.

You already do not have that unfettered right in the USA.

Would you mind sharing more please? I literally just finished the same set up, with a 9950X CPU and 192G RAM at 4,800 MT/s. I used lemonade with Vulkan and the UD-Q8_x_x model from HF. 256k context. I have about 8G VRAM free, and use the iGPU for my desktop/monitor on Arch. What options do you give llama-cpp or whatever you run please? What other models have you found fit nicely in the 2xR9700? Thanks!!

Please say more about the "dev experience of rust." As a long time Lisper and not much of a Ruster, I found the dev experience very painful. Granted, I expect had I continued using Rust that would have abated in tjme. I also disliked Clojure at first until I became comfortable with it and productive, before coming to like and appreciate it.

Is there some reliable tool which can list all the kernel anti cheat that may be installed on my Windows system, and the games I need to uninstall to remove them? Or remove them directly? Thanks!

I believe treason is literally defined in the constitution itself as taking up arms against the country. By that definition, I think there have been few to almost no treasonous people in recent decades.

They reference RCT without first defining it.

Can you please explain how you set it up? I run it on my 129G Strix Halo under Arch with Lemonade with OpenCode and it just sits there doing barely anything unless I leave it to run over night. Then it says it thought for 13.7 seconds but was really 15 minutes. Thanks! I am using the 27B dense MTP model quantized by UnSloth with the UD-Q8_K_L if memory serves.
