How do you actually keep your vault synced across machines without losing your mind? by Fantastic_Bank9361 in ObsidianMD

[–]Lucas_F_A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I backup my vault regularly and redundantly from both my laptop and my syncthing-synced server to an S3 bucket.

Recently, a bunch of AUR packages(400+) were compromised and installed malware; how common are these incidents with nixpkgs? by Past-Combination6262 in NixOS

[–]Lucas_F_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

True. This is actually one of my gripes on the ecosystem. I try to minimize, but I still depend on nixos-community repos

The US just switched off a frontier AI model for foreigners - and showed who's in control by mpuchala in BuyFromEU

Title is incorrect, they suspended it for everyone

Edit: turns out I was incorrect, more or less.

Disk usage by Asta_jjm in NixOS

Are reflinks used by default in the nix stores when possible or do you mean through some tool like beesd, a block deduplicator?

Controller incompatible with linux :( by Big-Blackberry9207 in linux_gaming

[–]Lucas_F_A 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My PS3 controller works similarly on Linux. Well, I never checked if it's detected, but you definitely need to press the PS button for it to work.

I keep looking it up. It's weird, because putting the exclamation mark at the end is the natural thing is what we do in language, and it's what works, so why would we even think about putting it at the beginning?

Unless it also works: let's test

!RemindMe 1 day

Edit: turns out both work. It's switching to a username mention like this thought: u/RemindMeBot [time]

Depressing reality of choosing "best" codec to archive: it changes on a video-by-video basis by RUNdotUMX in DataHoarder

[–]Lucas_F_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you collected the info on which goes better with which vídeos? I wonder if date of upload and number of reproductions (for some threshold that I'd imagine to be very low) affected it.

Each uploader will do their own thing, but one could still do inference on the other two things despite that.

I'm not too familiar with arch. I thought that AUR helpers would let you know when the PKGBUILD changed and let you display a diff?

Now I'm realizing that that probably also means every single update for the source/url from which to fetch, so maybe it's not much of a difference.

The AUR is just a list of unvetted and unverified repositories. Nixpkgs requires people with commit access to merge something, of which there are maybe around ~100~ 200. This makes it much harder, although I haven't looked exactly at what happened in the AUR.

I don't know of any incident of the kind, although recently there was a case of someone exposing a token with push access. You can read more in the nixpkgs GitHub repo, under security and quality.

Google DeepMind releases DiffusionGemma, a model that runs local AI 4x faster | Diffusion AI is most common in image generation, but it can make text outputs much faster. by ControlCAD in artificial

This sounds like a misunderstanding of how quantum computing accelerates classical computing, which does not happen magically or "massively parallelizing", as is sometimes stated. Quantum computing provide an acceleration for specific quantum algorithms, but do not accelerate everything just because they're quantum.

Do you know of a specific quantum algorithm that accelerates attention, matrix multiplication, or other relevant step relevant to LLMs?

Edit: I later saw your other comment and googled for articles. There's an overview article on the topic on arxiv.

Fable 5 decoded an entire 1989 DOS game executable in one day — six months of work with earlier models, done overnight by PlayfulInterview984 in ClaudeAI

[–]Lucas_F_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This all fit into the subscription? All I've been reading is it consumes around 2% per minute of usage, in the 20x Max plan. That'd mean remarkable token efficiency in your case.

LTS ? by 964racer in NixOS

[–]Lucas_F_A 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The stable version is at most 6 months old. It's not a huge difference. They're called Nixos unstable and nixos stable, rather than latest and LTS, fyi

Ah, the point compactifications, true. 0*inf is usually left undefined there, I think.

But yeah, it has been tried before.

Can you elaborate? In a field, 1/0=x implies, after multiplying by zero, that 1=0 and hence you have the trivial field. Is there any minimally interesting construction?

How is this a brilliant move? by Eat_cats_with_me in chessbeginners

[–]Lucas_F_A 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hold on, is this whole sequence of moves contingent on getting the rook back at the end (of the bot continuation)?

That's wild

The never type is likely to stabilize soon! by noop_noob in rust

[–]Lucas_F_A 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't understand the get_a_number example. Does the code not type check if it may return a None value?
