Hmmm I never had a problem finding what I want with public sources. Maybe my tastes in media are not refined enough.

There is no incentive but I also seed everything I download until at least ratio 2 but mostly without a cap especially obscure stuff.

I also like to not even use public trackers instead relying solely on the mighty distributed hash table (DHT) to find peers.

I never understood why people prefer private trackers.

Probably why it’s popular. If the game is actually any good I’ve no problem with it.

Why the obsession with integers? For weather we normally add a decimal point. And while I don’t agree that 18°C is a scorcher that means there are 29 commonly used values between 15 and 18°C.

In the metric system we are very used to decimal parts in units.

Edit: I mean we add one digit after a decimal point: eg. My thermostat shows 18.7°C for example.

GLM? I feel like every other day there is a new abbreviation :(

Fallen Gemma. The writing style is really good and it can keep relatively persistent personalities. On the other hand it’s stupid af compared to other recent models and even the vanilla Gemma 3.

For a second, I was thinking about why you need 300 instances of CAD software and if 128GB isn’t a bit too small for that ludicrous amount of computer aided design.

Backfisch? Das schmeckt voll nicht nach Pommes…

Align with or are those talking points? If so what concretely is the problematic point here?

This is still not engaging with the content itself.

How does your suggestion not lead to an echo chamber? Ideas and arguments should be considered before dismissal.

Btw I find it really strange that you talk for someone else instead of making your own statements. How do you know what that user suggested?

At the time of writing my comment I did not know about that other YouTuber and am glad I did not encounter them since.

That said I still think that video was not “hateful garbage”. While I do not agree with everything she said, I do think she makes some valid points and in other parts she represents her subjective tastes in video games.

Guilt by association is not itself a fallacy in all cases but here I think it unfair to not engage with the actual topic at all. This just furthers division instead of finding common ground.

Hmmn, never heard of QAT. What does it stand for?

I’ve got good news for you: Storage is now unbelievably cheap compared to just a few years ago.

I’ve forgotten what deleting a file even means.

Years ago when I started ripping CDs people called me an idiot for not using MP3 instead of flac. They aren’t laughing now. I fully admit that MP3 can be transparent at high bitrates and modern codecs even more so but that’s for the end device (like my car or phone) not archival.

The same will be true with my Blu Ray collection stored as decrypted ISO files… I hope.

You seem to be implying an argument based on Modus tollens:

1. If AI is the chief US innovation, then the US is massively fucked.
2. The US is not massively fucked.
3. Ergo, AI is not the chief US innovation.

Well I disagree with the premise 2:

The US is massively fucked.

With that, no conclusion can be gained from premise 1.

Nope, I did not and even though I am a fairly active lurker, I only read about it after my question here. I guess that makes me lucky.

Is there some history? Who is Nicole?

The only way to make Rust segfault is by performing unsafe operations.

Challange accepted. The following Rust code technically segfaults:

fn stackover(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover(a);
}


fn main() {
    println!("{}", stackover(100));
}

A stack overflow is technically a segmentation violation. At least on linux the program recives the SIGSEGV signal. This compiles and I am no rust dev but this does not use unsafe code, right?

While the compiler shows a warning, the error message the program prints when run is not very helpfull IMHO:

thread 'main' has overflowed its stack
fatal runtime error: stack overflow
[1]    45211 IOT instruction (core dumped)  ../target/debug/rust

Edit: Even the compiler warning can be tricked by making it do recusion in pairs:

fn stackover_a(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover_b(a);
}

fn stackover_b(a : i64) -> i64 {
    return stackover_a(a);
}

fn main() {
    println!("{}", stackover_a(100));
}

I feel like Broccus would be a badass name for a dog.

Very strange that they did not encode the stop string “<sep>” as a special token.

Yes, this maximal decentralized usage where everybody has their own copy but can collaborate and pick and choose from other copies was a central idea in the creation of git. Ultimately it was made for Linux Kernel development and that is how that works over there.

You do not even need to use git specific protocols. One can simply import patch sets and mail them to each other.
