I was interested in the human results, so I had an llm build a visualization for them: https://codepen.io/lovasoaaa/pen/QwKWGBd

You can see that 17% of answers come from India alone and that software developers got below average results, for instance.

I dont understand, so its just to generate the pic using a model. Isn't that trivial, whats the advantage of doing it in C? Is the model running in C? Readme is overly verbose and It seems like a project that just does one task and it costed the author $80.

The author of this project is also the author of redis. He knows what he is doing.

Running inference for a model, even when you have all the weights, is not trivial.

Linux isn't in position regarding display/UI. It doesn't handles HiDPI (e.g 4K) screen uniformly, leading to a lot of blurry apps depending on the display abstraction used (Wayland/X11) and compositor (GNOME, KDE, etc, all behave differently).

Let's not even talk about the case when you have monitors that have different DPI, something that is handled seamlessly by MacOS, unlike Linux where it feels like a d20 roll depending on your distro.

I expect most desktop MacOS users to have a HiDPI screen in 2026 (it's just...better), so going to Linux may feel like a serious downgrade, or at least a waste of time if you want to get every config "right". I wish it was differently, honestly - the rest of the OS is great, and the diversity between distros is refreshing.

I use linux at home (with a HiDPI screen) and MacOS for work. The screen works well with both computers. I mostly just use a text editor, a browser, and a terminal though.

Linux has bugs, bug MacOS does too. I feel like for a dev like me, the linux setup is more comfortable.

Why is apple doing protein folding?

How do you call the opposite of green washing? When you want to show that you are burning as much energy on training models as the others.

Why do we send humans to those depths rather than a camera? I assume signal to control the camera is hard at those depths but that is the only reason I can imagine.

Because we can

I use a fork of sqlx in SQLPage [1]. I think my main complaint about it is runtime errors (or worse, values decoded as garbage) when decoding SQL values to the wrong rust type.

lovasoa commented on Germany and Italy pressed to bring $245B of gold home from US ft.com/content/e39390cc-e... · Posted by u/cempaka

The US might literally just not give it to them. Germany has been trying to ask for their gold back for a while IIRC and they generally get an explanation that paraphrases to it being a very complex operation to pull off and they should come back next year.

The US has enough leverage over Germany that the Nord Stream incident is still an unsolved mystery where everyone just moved on. Probably the Russians did it. That's a lot of leverage.

Oops, my bad. I seem to have misread. Sorry.

lovasoa · 10 months ago

No. The LLM's answer is correct.

Sorry - I misread the LLM answer - actually the LLM produced a correct answer here
