I saw GLM-5.2 on build.nvidia.com/models before, but it's not there now. Hopefully nvidia will host GLM-5.3 soon.

Is Chris Titus's tool able to remove the built-in Weather app (I haven't had a Windows machine with admin right for too long to remember that)? If yes, do we see 1 more GB of RAM free after running that tool?

Ah, got it. Those devices are like computer virus which don't need a computer to live on.They can make DDOS attacks if they want to. So, buying these devices at a cheap price is like renting out your IP address and your Internet connection.

Now I hope that nvidia will host it for free :-)

The last loco.rs release was 1 year ago. I wonder what happens with it.

When Firefox has an internal adblock like Brave, I will come back.

There are projects like this: urlx, curlio.

Today is Jun 15. So, I wonder if somebody + AI can rewrite curl in Rust in 1.5 months. I think it's possible if that person knows all curl features. However, does that person even exist?

What are they used for? Its CPU's PassMark scores an average of 4,246. A quick check on AMZN: https://www.amazon.com/KAMRUI-Mini-PC-i3-10110U-Bluetooth/dp... uses AMD Ryzen 4300U (scores 7364), 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, supports 3 4k (maybe 30HZ) monitors at the same time. That mini pc cost $289.

That $350 price tag is good for that configuration. Not sure how fast the USB-c ports are. It should have an HDMI 2.0/2.1 port. Mini PC's with the N150 CPU support 2 4k@60Hz monitors.

> I asked the business owner a question about a business task. He sent me a ChatGPT screenshot with the answer. I replied that it had nothing to do with my question and everything there was wrong. A minute later he sent me another ChatGPT screenshot.

If this happens to me, it's a sign that they don't want to talk to me and I'm going to be let go.

> Nobody cracks open a programming book anymore Not true for me. I still read the "Learning Rust in a month of lunches" although I ask AI to write Rust code all the times.

> It's not surprising that an LLM would produce different specs for the same work on different runs This is what I don't understand: AI is a computer program with its own data. If we give the same input to that computer program every time, why does it produce different outputs every time? Or does the input include LLM data + our prompt + some random data that computer program picks from its Internet search?

The thing that impresses me most is that the author knows everything (from the high level architecture to the small details) of "multi-Paxos consensus engine" (I have no idea what it is, but it must be very complicated) and can write everything out for AI to read (or did he/she use an app to convert speech to text)?

New comment by dxxvi in "I love Linux, but I can't quit Windows"

dxxvi — Sat, 16 May 2026 16:23:02 +0000

So, the complaint is that Linux (Fedora + KDE Plasma) is unstable after a week of usage and daily update? I'm not sure about Fedora as I'm using Arch (also with KDE Plasma on wayland). Everything is very stable for me. I `paru -Syu` whenever I remember or when VS Code shows at the lower corner that there's a new version.

I'm using wezterm in KDE Plamas in Wayland.

Has anybody done like this with Rust (e.g. https://github.com/LiveGray/100-Days-Of-Rust)?

Before reading that post, I would use sqlite/duckdb for everything related to data. After reading that post, I will use sqlite/duckdb + Rust for everything related to data :-)

New comment by dxxvi in "For the first time in the U.S., renewables generate more power than natural gas"

dxxvi — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 18:44:36 +0000

But the energy prices (electricity and gas) don't go down :-( Then "renewables generate more power than natural gas" is not very meaningful.
