My htop file is read only. But it’s silly that you need to do that.

I got a speeding ticket in Colorado on a business trip and later moved clients and thought to myself “meh I just won’t pay it I won’t be back to Colorado any time soon” and I was stopping entering the country on a trip from the Caribbean for “outstanding warrants”. If I can get stopped for that they should know if they have real criminal charges to not play around.

i stand corrected, thanks. what an odd way for them to collect data considering they seem more than capable of making a form on their own website...

Yeah nothing suspicious about a random google doc instead of a direct link to OpenAI. I would suggest nobody fill this out.

City officials said that the joke won’t last long. Once the bridge is officially completed, the on-site memorial will be removed. Finally, an official edit request will go to Google after a name is decided on October 16. Harambe, unfortunately, will not have a bridge named after him.

so they aren't stuck with it.

"yes MGM please go to your local CVS and pick up a green dot card and fill it with 10 million dollars and give me the code on the back once completed"

every x86 has had halt. win95 was just not using it even though you could write a 10 line program to get context switched in when idle that would halt it. it was one of my first programs as a child on a 486 66 dx2.

i just had chat gpt generate said program and i think its very similar to what I wrote. I'm unsure if it ever did anything but i've always been interested in efficiency:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <windows.h>

void main() {

  printf("Setting process priority to low...\n");

  SetPriorityClass(GetCurrentProcess(), IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS);

  printf("Halting the processor when no other programs are running...\n");

  while (1) {
    __asm {
      hlt
    }
  }
}

Is that scalable to real stuff though? At work we pretend out stuff is perfect and nobody is going to put their name on fixes because they are now the next support person for said fix. Open source has no expectation of support.

The mame architecture is not friendly to dynarec which is necessary for GameCube and wii.

Imagine a 6502 game boy? 3 hours of battery but those spirits would fly. Also imagine a PPU similar to NES. Would have been tons of ports. I’m actually not sure why they didn’t go this route. They didn’t use stock 6502 so repackaging would have been fine.

Didn’t EA go to court with Sega over exactly this? I believe the court said using a trademark as a device to prevent access to a device was not applicable.

It works…ish. GPT4 is pretty good at detecting what it wrote but I was able to get a false positive with the United States constitution. Or maybe we can go deeper and say maybe it was AI generated?

I wish I could try this out but I can’t figure out the root password.

Steamdeck?

Personally I think BOTW wasn’t “seeing what works everywhere else and polishing it” it really felt like a new game nobody had ever done before.

Release products sell tens of millions. Ever nickel saved in parts or weight is felt significantly. You only make 1K of these so whatever.

Doubtful since they were released yesterday. That being said I will be deploying something to our lab this week to play with.

I believe the question has always been causation or correlation. Do people with schizophrenia use marijuana to self medicate or does marijuana cause schizophrenia. Apparently from this study it’s the later.

my concern with using chatgpt is PII. If I host the LLM and set it up that it doesn't record any of the interactions besides some weird meta data and sign that in a contract i bet a bunch of my clients would like to use my LLM. especially if I can train it on internal documentation that they can't/won't send to a big third party like chatgpt. im one throat to choke and i already have their PII so i think its a good fit.

without getting into too much detail my job supports business to people interactions. my use case is training the LLM to assist the business agents. if it can give real time information that's helpful to the agent while causally listening to the conversation thats a pretty big game changer. also i want to use it for staffing decisions since it can view historic data and make recommendations for the future.

ive been playing with it locally in the hopes of a model that allows for commercial use. at my job if i had a model I could run in the cloud and just wrap a REST service around I could think of a ton of ways to use it both internally and externally.

I’m not sure everyone will get your sarcasm. Just “adding some GPT” is a good meme though.

WSL is amazing. I switched from Macs to thinkpads at my office and having the bells and whistles of windows MS office (lets admin macos office stinks) and vscode that opens and literally runs on Linux is amazing. No IT hassles about developers running Linux with support and VPNs and stuff. Just buy some more RAM and ship developers windows laptops has been great for the org and honestly the developers. We deploy and run on Linux and the weird quirks of macos has bit us in the past.

A little bit of piracy is good though. It’s better honestly than them not watching. They are talking to their friends about shows. Having Watch parties. Whatever. If it’s the choice of don’t pay don’t watch or don’t pay watch there is a benefit to them pirating.

It’s used as the “gold standard” of disc dumps. Your own dumps can be verified and people can create tools against “redump dumps” knowing what everyone is talking about.

There is no way to have btrfs caps insensitive. So some software (poorly coded) could have capitalization issues that would not appear in NTFS that would in btrfs. But other than that I believe you are right (barring utilities specifically designed to interact with FS attributes)

I guess that paragon driver got merged. I remember the pull request…

I believe you reinvented the one time pad.

Personally I just find it easier to push everything to the cloud and not deal with RAIDZ and failing disk drives. Maybe I’m just old.

I couldn’t find anything CarPlay related in the built in shortcuts app. Can you share the details?
