What are your purposes?

In Germany we have "Störerhaftung" where routerowners are responsible for everything that happens through their router.

I wonder how this would hold up in court, couldn't you argue that routers are generally buggy, how can they force any responsibility if they can easily be hacked?

Is it though.

There are so many situations where something is guaranteed to be safe but there is no way to express that in the Rust typesystem, so the only thing you can do is to wrap everything in Arcs and Mutexes, which introduces allocations, pointerchasing and locks

> so the model figures out during training what each token should look for and what it should offer

But how does it learn this token-relationship?

All it has is many text samples, but still, nowhere it says how the tokens relate to each other, so where does this information come from?

If you put this into an emulator, would it boot linux?

I'm currently "working" on a toy 3d Vulkan Physx thingy. It has a simple raycast vehicle and I'm trying to replace it with the PhysX5 built in one (https://nvidia-omniverse.github.io/PhysX/physx/5.6.1/docs/Ve...)

I point it to example snippets and webdocumentation but the code it gens won't work at all, not even close

Opus4.6 is a tiny bit less wrong than Codex 5.4 xhigh, but still pretty useless.

So, after reading all the success stories here and everywhere, I'm wondering if I'm holding it wrong or if it just can't solve everything yet.

He had a video on Youtube where he proudly gloated about how he voted for Trump in not one but two elections, how happy he is that he can now openly talk about it, how its a fresh start for US, how catastrophic Harris would have been.

Did he take down the video because of embarrassment or did he fear negative impact on his sales?

Tried switching to Linux years ago, what brought me be back were issues with Suspend-to-disk, CPU Core parking, GPU powerefficient idle mode

Since my PC is idle most of the time, I care about idle-powerefficiency a lot.

Does stuff like this these days just work? (AMD CPU + Nvidia GPU)

newbie question: when training networks, what mechanism makes the language's concepts be (almost)orthogonal to each other?

I have a street in front of my bedroom and I'm wondering how well ANC earbuds work in that case. Will it be completely silent or will there still be some kind of whoosh-sound?
