@tante@tldr.nettime.org Value is what people are willing to pay for it. Overwhelmingly, people have shown that they do not value it enough to pay as much for it as it costs to make/provide. I'm not aware of any meaningfully large counterexamples?

I have no idea if it is the actual _best_ open source screenshot program for windows, but Flameshot certainly blows away any of the ones included with the OS (it runs on linux as well).

Man, George Clinton landing the mothership at the NOLA Essence festival in July is hard to resist even with the insane heat and crowds. They should do it at that vegas dome, it's the only thing I could imagine that would draw me there.

I wonder just how much ethernet traffic these ryzen mini-pc's can handle? Quite a lot actually:

2x10g built in
25GB RDMA NIC card added to the pci slot.

and...

2x USB-C 10Gbe NICs!!
These systems have two high end USB4 ports, and Iperf3 has no problem exceeding 9Gb/s with this $99 USB NIC.

I tried out the 10GB USB just out of curiosity. I'm not actually going to buy and plug in 8 of those 🙂

If you took the word embeddings from an LLM model and fed them to phylogenetic tree construction software such as MrBayes, I wonder if the results would be interesting either in terms of actual word origin or (more likely) hierarchical categorization.

As the stochastic parrots run out of anything to consume except their own excreta, I wonder if there will be monetary value in large "obsolete" codebases that have never been on the internet as training data.

@kickingvegas@sfba.social thanks! One thing I would say though is that it should be impossible for these commands to do anything "catastrophic" if your emacs backup file settings are solid (ie keeping a LOT of versions).

@rovarma@mastodon.gamedev.place @aras@mastodon.gamedev.place Its not about $, it's about getting a 1:N connection for kernel-level logs for about the same cost as 1:1. And w/o running any (severely limited length) thick cables. My home office is kind of sprawling :-). I tend to use tablets as log displayers too.

@rovarma@mastodon.gamedev.place @aras@mastodon.gamedev.place Will a cheap rs232 to ethernet adapter + rs232 card work for kernel debuggjng? The advantage would be that you only need this on the target machine to gain access to it from any computer that can see its ip addr.

@IngloGamesDev@mastodon.gamedev.place If a company had actually developed tech with the programming productivity improvements they claim, what they are doing with it (selling it at a loss) would be insane. The smart move would be to keep it to yourself and become a top tier software development company. If Copilot delivered, why the hell would MS let their competitors use it?
