problem: we have ten different VT terminal parsers

solution: write a new VT terminal parser to replace the other ten

result: we have eleven different VT terminal parsers

silk road was on the dark web, a place that is oriented 100% around anonymity. This precludes any sort of "elimination of fraudulent reviews" since there's no reasonable way to build any sort of chain of trust.

Apparently it's more of a 1.75ply search according to the author :)

Try: c4, Qa4, Qxa5, Qc7, Qxc8# lol

blockchain is too slow and completely inappropriate.

There's no compilation (yet?) -- the code is interpreted, so runtime only.

The hyperbollocks marketingspeak in the summary paragraph put me off:

"The key insight of PowerInfer-2 is to utilize the heterogeneous computation, memory, and I/O resources in smartphones by decomposing traditional matrix computations into fine-grained neuron cluster computations. Specifically, PowerInfer-2 features a polymorphic neuron engine that adapts computational strategies for various stages of LLM inference. Additionally, it introduces segmented neuron caching and fine-grained neuron-cluster-level pipelining, which effectively minimize and conceal the overhead caused by I/O operations."

Ahem, what? Let's overload a biological construct "neuron" to imbue it with magical technopowers and then derive the rest of our BS from this. No sale.

And there's the rub: it's always about the beauty.

It's important to remember though that these words, i.e. "virtual particles" are just words used to convey a-priori what are purely mathematical constructs. It in no way is declaring that such things are tangible instances (e.g. detectable in a cloud chamber or through other empirical means.)

I don't think that's a complete view as nuget started on codeplex (!) and I think the commit history wasn't imported fully (mine is missing)

Weren't we working Codeplex at the time too? So I'm not convinced that the history is all there in github.

Firefox can easily open the defaultapps dialog and prompt the user with some text what to do. This is a nothingburger. There is no conspiracy.

Try it yourself: start, run... ms-settings:defaultapps

They haven't stopped users from changing their default browser by the proper explicit mechanism in Windows (default applications.) They've stopped shitferret malware from switching it, or yes, other browsers. If I want to change my browser, I'll do it myself.
