More than GNOME?
Ironically, the best text editor for *nix may be Microsoft Edit.
Where I live, hydro is the dominant power producer. My electricity costs 40% less from 11 pm to 7 am and 30% more from 4 pm to 9 pm. A hydro dam can also be thought of as a battery. When you are not using it, the dam…
xwm from 1984 and twm from 1989 will still execute on Xorg today. And if you want to run them on Wayland, Worg will do that for you. https://github.com/jmalcolm137/Worg
I have been using DS Flash 4.1 pretty heavily. It runs for hours and hours and is pretty cheap. I realized the other day that I had a $30 a month Claude subscription. So, I fired it up all excited and tried Opus 5.5 on…
I agree with this perspective. There will be lots of local distortion but the “competition” for anything AI has commoditized will drive profits down. So, who will be able to afford the AI? Add to that the fact that the…
Things are getting crazy. I could pretty much just start with ReactOS at this point and just pull up an LLM every time my hardware did not work or an app did not run. Within a week, I would have an Open Source windows…
The 100 companies would only be valuable if they made money. And their valuations would be based on normal metrics and expectations. In other words, it is far more profitable to milk the enthusiasm of AI investors than…
It is very interesting that they believe AI will find different bugs than people. That is, if you found a bug with AI the expectation is that others could find the same bug easily. But if you find it yourself, it is…
The BSD ones also work on Linux.
This is all very bad timing. Given that I can use AI to create completely alternative software stacks, it is the wrong time for proprietary software providers to start pissing off and exploiting all their users. I could…
We have entered the era of building enterprise scale projects for your own personal use. I can do things it took teams years to build as a hobby project over a weekend.
Not only the model but the hardware it is running on. The Huawei chips they are using instead of NVIDIA are vastly less expensive. China is going to scale past the west. The idea that they are “only a few months behind”…
So, you could do it for a couple hundred bucks using DeepSeek.
Of course they will. For about 3 days, and then it will get fixed. At this point, for software which has an extensive test suite (or a large body of interoperable software), humans are more likely to create these kinds…
This is the whole concept of Defense in Depth.
I guess that is why NVIDIA, after using RISC-V for years, decided to port CUDA to RISC-V: https://youtu.be/7u2aUyRiBto?si=0a1G6R9I5WRHXv3A I would ask why you think this, but it may be better to instead ask you to…
Those graphics sound amazing. But I guess EGA could do 640x350 in 16 colours by 1984.
I don’t know how fast it is but that does not really follow. They added those instructions so that Linux would boot. Linux assumes Pentium and no longer boots on 386 or even 486 for the latest kernels. The presence of…
Time to rename Mercator the “Map of America”.
Marriages too
It is right there in the name. Software had always been one big project with a dedicated team to build something one off, like building a hospital. Every customer commissioned their own software. Microsoft recognized…
Vector extensions are the biggest gap. That is going to make a pretty big difference for some stuff.
I imagine that their issue is reviewer bandwidth. If all submissions were high-quality, it would probably work. But that is probably unlikely. Maybe the project could host a searchable directory of AI contributions…
