Manpages are great though? They're not the best if you need examples, but as a reference for the behavior of flags? I love'em.

I genuinely use vim inside of termux on a daily basis. I dunno if I'm sick in the head or what, but I kinda like vim on my phone.

This is my father. Like, I'm happy that he doesn't hate me because I'm bi and poly. He's pretty open about how he thinks the Republican party is cruel and shitty.

His problem is that he associates fiscally progressive policies with California's creaking and inefficient bureaucracy. In his career, he spent a lot of time interacting with various CA governmental departments and he grew to loathe them intensely. Whenever I discuss progressive policies with him, he always relates it back to his experiences living and working in California and then just shrugs and says "I hate both parties for different reasons."

It's funny, because like, shit man, I kinda agree with him on a superficial level. California's state and local governments sucks at their jobs in a lot of ways (see the notorious San Francisco public bathroom). I agree that unions (of which there are many in California) can sometimes impede quick and efficient work (although I don't fucking care, I just chill out and am patient with folks and the shit gets done eventually. The process would be more efficient if the company tried to have a more harmonious relationship with the union).

He just doesn't seem to understand that as far as progressive polities go, California is a terrible example. There are plenty of places around the world that that have implemented progressive and socialist policies while still preserving the things he cares about (efficiency and relative frugality), but he's never been to those places. He hasn't engaged with those governments. All he can think of is the "progressive" state that caused him so much anger.

So basically, I think most people like this are fundamentally nice and decent, but they're ignorant and are blind to the underlying dissonance between their social and fiscal philosophies. My dad has never voted for Trump (he wrote in a friend's name which was basically a vote for Trump, but fuck man, it's at least a little better), but I don't believe he'll ever accept that voting according to his fiscal philosophy directly contradicts his social philosophy.

EDIT: apologies if this is rambling or poorly written. I'm sleep deprived and distracted and very stressed, and I probably shouldn't have commented at all.

There's a !bpsoc community around here somewhere that would love a cross post.

EDIT: it's this: [email protected]

I believe you can force pycharm to launch using Wayland. There's some option you can pass to it when you launch it.

Unseasonably warm!

Lethal Company is another example.

A negligible amount in this case. This isn't an LLM, it's a much simpler form of ML that isn't enormously wasteful.

This is the good type of ML, because it helps scientists while being cheap and easy to run.

EDIT: This may also be a type of model with deterministic output. I'm unsure of that, but that would mean it'd be possible to correct incorrect predictions.

The noble interrobang will one day shine like the star it is.

I love rust and projects rewritten in Rust, but I've felt pretty mixed about this particular project. The strong copyleft on GNU coreutils is part of what keeps many Linux distros truly free. There's stuff like BusyBox or BSD coreutils if you need something you can make non-free, but GNU coreutils are just so nice. I wish this reimplementation in rust had been licensed with GPL or a similar copyleft license. At least there's no CLA with copyright transfer.

If you want to make things even more spicy, try doing in pure bash with no external process calls. Things like cat are trivial to replace. I saw some uses of sort that might be more difficult, but it wouldn't surprise me if newer Bash versions had a way to sort arrays nicely.
