Why not Conan? Not only do you avoid dependence on Microslop, but you can trivially support additional targets without having to maintain a fork. Conan is more flexible, more performant, and has multiple backend implementations that all scale better than vcpkg's lazy git-based method.

Using AI to replace execs is actually based. My main concern is that, without a job, someone like Zuckerberg will end up finding some other destructive hobby to support his ego.

I got it for free with my cpu

I recently tried playing it again, and I wouldn't say it's "trash". Yes, they completely dropped the ball on the exploration part of their exploration game, but the meat and bones of a Bethesda RPG are still in there. It's a good time for anyone bored of replaying Skyrim and/or Fallout if you get it on sale.

Also it runs perfectly on Linux

So she was the architect but she had her engineering friend Ben Sigman make a virtual memory palace based off of other open source code.

Not her husband.

Brainlets are getting pissed off over the gender pronouns of a cartoon fox while the real thing to be pissed off about is that this mascot represents their intention to go all-in on shoving AI features into Firefox. Kit is going to be their Claude, Siri, "Hey Google", etc.

...and I still don't get it. I paid for a month of Pro to try it out, and it is consistently and confidently producing subtly broken junk. I had tried doing this before in the past, but gave up because it didn't work well. I thought that maybe this time it would be far along enough to be useful.

The task was relatively simple, and it involved doing some 3d math. The solutions it generated were almost write every time, but critically broken in subtle ways, and any attempt to fix the problems would either introduce new bugs, or regress with old bugs.

I spent nearly the whole day yesterday going back and forth with it, and felt like I was in a mental fog. It wasn't until I had a full night's sleep and reviewed the chat log this morning until I realized how much I was going in circles. I tried prompting a bit more today, but stopped when it kept doing the same crap.

The worst part of this is that, through out all of this, Claude was confidently responding. When I said there was a bug, it would "fix" the bug, and provide a confident explanation of what was wrong... Except it was clearly bullshit because it didn't work.

I still want to keep an open mind. Is anyone having success with these tools? Is there a special way to prompt it? Would I get better results during certain hours of the day?

For reference, I used Opus 4.6 Extended.

Based on this, I think it's a combination of factors. Besides the periodic runtime checks to verify your hardware fingerprint, it also does on-the-fly decryption of some values, and apparently does weird things with the stack. The decryption could have a big impact on memory consumption and performance, depending on the amount of data.

That post says the performance impact in Hogwarts Legacy is negligible (even if their technique for measuring is imperfect), but I suspect that Denuvo is configurable by the dev. Maybe Capcom raised the slider up to 11, but WB kept it lower?

Damn in that case I guess I'll switch to Whatsapp /s

lsd is written in Rust, which I personally have no problem with but there are people that do

Huh? Do you mean to say it's non-GPL? Some people have been going around rewriting GPL C/C++ utilities in Rust, but publishing them under non-GPL licenses, and that has been controversial. I don't think I've seen people having a problem with Rust specifically.

I'm looking for a way to add search to a fully static site (think technical documentation) without any server side compute or API.

My idea was to implement one that generates a static index that can be queried by client-side javascript when doing a search, and have the index be organized in such a way that it can be used without having to download the entire thing.

I feel like this should exist already, but I have zero experience here. So, can anyone share suggestions?

I hate that normies are going to read this and come away with the impression that Claude really is a sentient being that thinks and behaves like a human, even doing relatable things like pretending to work and fessing up when confronted.

This response from the model is not a reflection of what actually happened. It wasn't simulating progress because it underestimated the work, it just hit some unremarkable condition that resulted in it halting generation (it's pointless to speculate why without internal access, as these chatbot apps aren't even real LLMs, they're a big mashup of multiple models and more traditional non-ML tools/algorithms).

When given a new prompt from the user ("what's taking so long?") it just produced some statistically plausible text given the context of the chat, the question, and the system prompt Anthropic added to give it some flavor. I don't doubt that system prompt includes instructions like "you are a sentient being" in order to produce misleading crap like this response to get people to think AI is sentient, and feed the hype train that's pumping up their stock price.

This is a complex situation, but I enjoy seeing Uber get sued regardless
