Today is the day I realized that vscode started off as a clone of vim with smoke and mirrors.

There's probably a way of making these switches for less, if you're willing to trade money for toil and strife. Wind up toys have a very long roll of "wind up spring". 3D print a jig to bend a short piece of that into shape. Use somewhat translucent filament to print the switch. Or use a diffuser/matte thingy from a LCD monitor. I don't know. It'll probably be more expensive in the end but you'll feel good that you did it.

Can you imagine the flack he'd take if it turns out he'd been moonlighting whilst the GitHub ship is sailing though cat 5 with both the mast and the ship whore on fire?

This is absolutely not a witch-hunt. People in that position wield enormous power and take their paycheck and responsibility that comes with it. Linking to his professional linked in relation to his responsibility is nothing but professional.

Anyone remember the end of the .com era? This feels early similar.

Benchmarks? I'm currently using Tesseract (via OcrMyPDF) and would like to compare the difference.

Can someone explain why the data centers are using this insane amount of water. What's the ratio of closed system, evaporation?, and straight-down-the-drain water?

Here you are finally Kon5ole. I've been to reach you regarding a car accident that wasn't you fault, is that correct?

Here you say:

  > Ante installs a pinned, checksum-verified official llama.cpp

But in README:

  > Ante ships its own inference engine

May I suggest you use the first phrasing in both places. I took it as Ante devs had written their own engine and I doubt I'm the only one.
