GDAL isn't too big on LLM contributions either.

I've never seen anyone else do this, but I press left Ctrl with the fleshy pad under my pinky. So it's just a small flick of the wrist instead of a large rotation I'd need to use the finger.

I suggest browsing through the release notes of the last 4-5 versions to see what you like more.

Yeah, in C++ code it seems to stop at the first hint of a NULL pointer or SIGSEGV, even if you're just trying to reproduce a crash that's not realistically exploitable.

Nautilus had that feature 10 years ago, good to hear they've reached parity.

I see around 1 tk/s after a while, so perhaps it is.

It's not just syscalls. If you trust all of the running code, you can use a single address space for all applications and even the kernel, which lets you avoid TLB flushes.

Whether that's still a good idea given Spectre is another question.

https://bun.com/blog/bun-v1.4 has some pretty nice numbers indeed.
https://github.com/vinhnx/vtcode (not affiliated, just saw someone posting it here) and of course Codex are still active.

> Chinese breeders of the 21st century strive to extend the fighting season to the whole year. They advertise farm-bred "designer bugs" as super-fighters and agree that their technology is "completely counter to the natural process". However, they refuse to use hormones or the practice of arming crickets with steel implants.

Um, what?

On systemd, you can use ~/.config/environment.d to set it. Don't rely on your shell.

It only supports CUDA on Linux.
You can, after you unlock it.
We've had shitty bloated websites before LLMs were a thing.
Re:Ubuntu now requires more RAM than Windows 11 on Sunday April 05, 2026 @09:48AM (#47649420)
It's plain FUD. systemd always had fields for the full name, email address and location. They were optional, just like the date of birth. Bad systemd!
The operating system does not need to know your full name, email and location in order to manage your hardware and software, yet systemd has had optional fields for those for years and nobody complained. They added an extra optional field for the date of birth.

> Some of this has been fueled by a misinformation campaign that has targeted the systemd project and Taylor specifically, resulting in Taylor being doxxed and receiving death threats.

I see.

It's easier to torrent stuff than to get 4K in Netflix on Linux.
1.82.7 doesn't have litellm_init.pth in the archive. You can download them from pypi to check.

EDIT: no, it's compromised, see proxy/proxy_server.py.

It doesn't, and it's optional.

Looks like it's a bit slower today. Running llama.cpp b8192 Vulkan.

$ ./llama-cli unsloth_Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-GGUF_Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -c 65536 -p "Hello"

[snip 73 lines]

[ Prompt: 86,6 t/s | Generation: 34,8 t/s ]

$ ./llama-cli unsloth_Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-GGUF_Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf -c 262144 -p "Hello"

[snip 128 lines]

[ Prompt: 78,3 t/s | Generation: 30,9 t/s ]

I suspect the ROCm build will be faster, but it doesn't work out of the box for me.

That's not a shell, it's a Python interpreter compiled to WASM and running in the browser.
Re:Can I Run AI locally? on Friday March 13, 2026 @12:08PM (#47366318)
This feels a bit pessimistic. Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B runs at 38 t/s tg with llama.cpp (mmap enabled) on my Radeon 6800 XT.
