I'm going to start donating to a few free android distros I guess, I'm probably going to be trying them sooner rather than later, and without AOSP support the dev burden is going to be much higher, and it probably means they'll end up diverging and incompatible at some point (not in both directions, lineage will probably always have to have Android app support)

Great.

Which means that everyone is playing the game to not be cut.

I can easily run it in a 8 bit quant with the 4 x 48GB Radeon Pro W7900 GPUs I snagged for 2k each before the memory squeeze.

A 158B parameter model, especially in an architecture as efficient as DS4 is not that hard to drive currently if you got in before the craze, and will be relatively easy to drive with future hardware generations.

Companies or labs like deepseek that produce less but larger and more innovative models, so seem to be more research oriented.

then there are companies like z.ai (GLM), Minimax, and Qwen which focus more on commercializing the AI and so produce far more versions, but with far less improvements between them (usually fine tunes)

Commercial providers like anthropic probably do the same thing, maybe even without labeling it like a different version if the model is similiar enough.

The article states you can fit Q4 in 4 x 4090 and it works reasonably well.

I'd personally fo for deepseek V4 flash at Q8, hardware prices need to come down though. Once an NV4 version get released it'll be easier to run on commodity hardware.

I think I'm completely done after like 6 hours which is insanely fast, and it really is everything I ever wanted. It is cohesive, easy to style, has good defaults, includes essential programs like polkit agent and notification daemon / osd, has a ton of plugins.

I should have tried it so much sooner.

UTR can also include unranked games if one of the players submits a score and the other approves it.

And the content feels fluffed up, the core idea is: "I'm furious that Bitwarden doubled the yearly price and did not disclose it properly". Which is valid, but does not require an extensive article, much less one written by an LLM.

As an aside, I found out from this post about the increase, and I don't mind the increase, especially after 10 years, but I really don't like the fact that it seems they actively hid it. But I also don't think it's aa big of a deal as OP is making it out to be.

The issue is woman would disappear from profesional sports. Sinners 16.27 rating means that he double bagels Sabalenkas 13.29 essentially 100% of the time. The 500th ATP player has a UTR of 13.81, half a point is quite a bit stronger, do he's still very much stronger than Sabalenka. You probably have to start looking well into the thousand somethings for something that is consisently beaten by her.

Only the top 200 players make money, the top 100 good money, and the top 50 ridiculous money.

"I got a DM from much higher up the chain asking me to remove it. Whilst I technically don't answer to them, I do respect their wishes. They don't like someone they consider as part of the core dev teams being called out like that. What you did broke the Arch Linux CoC."

Wait so is this part not true?

A super basic text editor is available anywhere. He's comfortable with many of them when editing other things (like vim/nano/ed on Linux)

He just likes Notepad for his personal use. Now that you mention it I do believe he used Notepad++ at some point (only 3rd party editor he's tried). I don't remember at what point he dropped it but he didn't use it long.

Like you said, with Windows 11 replacing Notepad with a rewritten version, he's probably going to have to switch to Notepad++.

I was hoping he'd just switch to Linux. Even tried baiting him by giving a pre Linux installed fully configured laptop with a beautiful OLED panel and great keyboard. He loved the hardware and reinstalled Windows.

He tried textpad (the other included text editor ) at some point and hated it

He wrote a programming language for his master thesis, so obviously he used it to write all his software. His first project was the POS/management system for his father's music store (Now famous as the Mexican company that acquired Sam Ash). I believe they didn't switch until around 2005 or so (so about 30 years maintaining it or training a software developer on it as a side thought)

He then started a large sized customs software company with i that ended up getting acquired.. Everytime the language required a new feature the devs would just ask him (like when he had to write a graphical toolkit for it because it started as a text only runtime). There is no record of this language anywhere as far as I know.

I believe around the 2000s as part of the sale of the company he rewrote the whole stack in C#. And he's been using it ever since, including the company we started together in 2013 (together doing a lot of work here). Still with good old Notepad and CSC.exe just like year 1.He curses everytime the ecosystem has big required changes (async, nuget) though I've managed to coerce him into keeping up with the times, dragging and screaming.

My father is a 70-year-old software engineer who programs .NET Core in Notepad and builds using custom BAT files that build the project using csc (the outright compiler). He browses and copies files in the Windows Terminal. He is also accustomed to Linux since we deploy to it in our business, and he can do everything comfortably in the Linux terminal.

He trusts me almost blindly, yet I can’t convince him to swap to Linux even though every time he keeps fighting Windows. I'm actually fairly surprised since I'm certain he'd find himself at home almost immediately( he already is when managing servers)

I’m fairly sure it’s Notepad keeping him there, but I’ve told him there is also a Linux clone or Wine. I had been dabbling in Linux for 30 years, and it’s been about 7 or 8 years since I switched full-time and couldn’t be happier. But honestly, we're going to get there because it’s inevitable. It’s the only OS that's currently not wholly incentivized to "enshittify" itself and is actually improving at a pretty good pace due to Wayland's novelty fostering a plethora of alternative window managers.

First, you can use the airline's strategy to your advantage by planning early. It doesn't feel as unfair because everyone gets the same terms and the system is transparent and equal

WaPos daynamic pricing is simply maximizing value capture, without any way of a consumer benefitting. It's 100% lose-lose for the consumer. You always pay the maximum you are willing to pay. No discounts!

I was just answering OPs question about how airlines were transparent about their system and decided to answer it factually.
