It was honestly just dumb luck. I had heard of these previously from a friend who had some in the Philippines. I would say, really, I do know nothing about nuts, relatively speaking :)

Yes, but not normal walnuts, black walnuts. What most people think of as walnuts, at least where I’m from, come from the Persian/English walnut tree, Juglans Regia.

Green almonds, right?

Pili nut?

I can only wish…

Reminds me of The Gourmet in Skyrim

Honestly, I don’t think this could have gone any other way. As the article says, this is the so-called “Lane 1” missions which, while they’re less important and less heavy than “Lane 2” missions, are perfectly suited to the Falcon 9, or heavy if needed. There’s no need to get a heavy rocket like Vulcan involved, especially since it’s not proven yet, so the only reason I could think of for someone else winning would essentially be as a subsidy to help SpaceX’s competition. Once Vulcan has a couple dozen successful missions under its belt I’ll expect it to be more competitive.

If we stop doing business with SpaceX, we immediately demolish most of our capability to reach space, including the ISS until Starliner quits failing. Perhaps instead of trying to treat this as a matter of the free market we should recognize it as what it is - a matter of supreme economic and military importance - and force the Nazi fucker out.

I’d be interested in setting up the highest quality models to run locally, and I don’t have the budget for a GPU with anywhere near enough VRAM, but my main server PC has a 7900x and I could afford to upgrade its RAM - is it possible, and if so how difficult, to get this stuff running on CPU? Inference speed isn’t a sticking point as long as it’s not unusably slow, but I do have access to an OpenAI subscription so there just wouldn’t be much point with lower quality models except as a toy.

Bevy, cause I’m a sucker for Rust

They have concepts of an ICBM.

Well they said .NET Framework, and I also wouldn’t be surprised if they more or less wrapped that up - .NET Framework specifically means the old implementation of the CLR, and it’s been pretty much superseded by an implementation just called .NET, formerly known as .NET Core (definitely not confusing at all, thanks Microsoft). .NET Framework was only written for Windows, hence the need for Mono/Xamarin on other platforms. In contrast, .NET is cross-platform by default.

Holy shit. I knew they were going to simplify Raptor a lot, but even knowing most of the rat’s nest was sensors/etc., this is insane. I wish we could see cross sections!

Honestly, after DOS2, I’d play a Larian game in any setting just based on them being the devs - and that goes double after BG3. Their handle on storytelling and environments is so good I’d trust it would be enjoyable even in a setting I’m not interested in.

I’ve found it depends a lot on the game. In CP2077, DLSS+frame gen looks great to me with full raytracing enabled. But in The Witcher 3, I found frame gen to cause a lot of artifacts, and in PvP games I wouldn’t use regular DLSS/FSR. In general I’ve found the quality preset in DLSS to be mostly indistinguishable from native on 3440x1440, and I’m excited to try FSR 3 when I get the chance.

I’ve got the same results by just asking it to repeat the system prompt.

This is a use-after-free, which should be impossible in safe Rust due to the borrow checker. The only way for this to happen would be incorrect unsafe code (still possible, but dramatically reduced code surface to worry about) or a compiler bug. To allocate heap space in safe Rust, you have to use types provided by the language like Box, Rc, Vec, etc. To free that space (in Rust terminology, dropping it by using drop() or letting it go out of scope) you must be the owner of it and there may be current borrows (i.e. no references may exist). Once the variable is droped, the variable is dead so accessing it is a compiler error, and the compiler/std handles freeing the memory.

There’s some extra semantics to some of that but that’s pretty much it. These kind of memory bugs are basically Rust’s raison d’etre - it’s been carefully designed to make most memory bugs impossible without using unsafe. If you’d like more information I’d be happy to provide!

That’s the point. Malicious compliance.

Holy shit. I highly recommend that anyone who has the time read this.

Also, fuck Ron DeSantis. An innocent man was freed, and DeSantis nearly saw him imprisoned until he died. Just because someone was reluctant to prosecute nonviolent crime and provided shelter for trans people and people seeking abortions. What an evil human.

He was in his apartment. There was a call to the police about an argument in the building. The officer went to an apartment that is said the be the wrong one, banged on the door and shouted to open up. Fortston answered the door with a piston in his hand, pointing at the floor. The officer shot him.

According to the media, Forston was on the phone with his girlfriend for a while by the time the police were called. It seems to me that, as far as the officer was aware, the only “crime” that occured was “an argument”, and it sounds like the officer also had the wrong apartment. Unless I can view the bodycam footage it’s hard to be certain but this definitely sounds like he was killed because he was black and had a gun.
