I've got qwen3.6-something-or-other (also around 20GB) in 12GB VRAM with a 64k context, and I'm decently sure I could go to a 128k context without losing too much speed. it's doing around 40 tokens per second, though…
A well designed set of buttons is much faster to open than a zipper, and about as fast to close. I've got a number of jeans with button flies where opening them is a single handed smooth motion. I've unfortunately also…
Python doesn't try especially hard to stop you from doing stupid things in general. It's kind of core to the language that it doesn't. Hence no access modifiers. I think it's usually phrased as "we're all consenting…
As the famous idiom goes, sticks and stones may break my bones but words can leave permanent psychological scars that may never heal. Physical violence is definitely going to leave lasting effects, but words can still…
You can return data for multiple page elements with HTMX too using the "OOB" mechanism.
You can even get carbon fiber reinforced TPU for if you want shear strength but don't need the flexibility. From what I hear it's kind of bonkers how tough that stuff is.
There's a video of the prototype printing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB7iAFXCJQM
Increasing prices at busy times (i.e. surge pricing) is... to some degree defensible. Spying on people and charging different prices to different people for the same thing (i.e. surveillance pricing) is not. Can you…
Reduced test cases make it way easier to figure out what the actual bug is. E.g. a real world example is when I tested a "slugify" function with hypothesis. It almost immediately spat out this failing test case:…
It's automatic. If you post and the title gets mangled you can go back and edit the title and it won't get re-mangled, but you kinda have to be paying attention and be aware of that.
It's also just sort of generally used as easily spotted value in a hex editor. similar to DEADBEEF, ABADBABE, CAFED00D, and probably a bunch more variations on the concept. CAFEBABE seems especially prolific, getting…
Except trams have, as far as I know without exception, specific traffic rules around them. A tram simply does not and cannot stop as quickly as a car (or indeed a bus) can. The reason that that's largely accepted is…
I find this also heavily depends on which LLM you're using. I've found chatGPT is completely awful at getting corrected, it'll double down until the cows come home. Meanwhile claude will generally adjust its behavior…
except if := was the default then accidentally typing ":=" instead of "==" would be the easy bug to make. := was bolted on after of course, and I think that was a mistake, but no one asked me, nor do I expect anyone to…
Maybe not. I don't know. I'm not a scientist. I have to err on the side of caution with these things because I don't know.
not really? I have a habit of using the wrongest solder for my projects. The stuff I use currently was formulated for wave soldering, no clue why it comes in spools but it was cheap. In general the formulation is more…
Splitting = and := in python is very intentional though, It makes writing bugs like this impossible: if is_logged_in=True: allow_access() I've got... opinions on the way python separates statements and expressions, but…
> Leaded solder is easier to work with for personal projects it really isn't if you use a nice modern lead-free solder. you'll need your iron to be about 20c hotter, but it's not like the early days of lead-free where…
A glass fiber pen is my go-to for cleaning groddy pads and pins and the like. Works a treat.
I can make no claims as to the brands mentioned in the parent post, but a 3 second heating time isn't all that fast for a real nice soldering iron. Previous job had an iron that'd heat between you picking it up and…
Important to note that these days you really should use lead-free solder. You'll find all sorts of people going around claiming that leaded is better, but it's really not, and it's not worth the health risk. Your iron…
For this example, perhaps not much, but a similar query also works. given this image[0] I queried qwen3.5-35b-a3b "where is waldo", and after thinking some got this back: --- Waldo is located in the *center* of the…
I'd recommend you'd give D a try. It manages to have a bunch of the cool features C++ has, while still largely feeling like working in C with some of the cruft fixed. D's equivalent to "constexpr" is "compile time…
ah I guess I sort of elided actually... saying the point I was trying to make. If it's just about showing games off to your friends (which with a course like this is pretty likely) you can point them to the emulator.…
