Crow drinking at the heated backyard birdbath among fresh snow.

Shitlibs give great optics to their enemies by virtue of being utterly repulsive people themselves.

"The FSF has published its evaluation of the "Llama 3.1 Community License Agreement." This is not a free software license and you should not use it, nor any software released under it.

Not only does it deny users their freedom, but it also purports to hand over powers to the licensors that should only be exercised through lawmaking by democratically-elected governments. Moreover, it has been applied by Meta to a machine-learning (ML) application, even though the license completely fails to address software freedom challenges inherent in such applications."

Anyone here owns a Radiacode 102?
Does it perform as a portable and pocketable detector? Does the battery last long enough? 🤔

somebody should have told me this when i was 20

TIL big specialized forums have started backdating millions of LLM-generated posts. Now you cannot be sure a reply from 2009 on some forum for physics or maps or flower or drill enthusiasts haven't been machine-generated and totally wrong.

crypto people: crypto isn't too hard
also crypto people: the problem here is you didn't bridge your eth to the dickbutts Layer2 chain and submit your transaction to the zk proofs sequencer.

I am contracting a Common Lisp hacker for low-level work of choice:
-better thread scheduler, coupled with bare NUMA awareness
-a compiler optimization, like moving type transformations into the backend or adding the peephole pass
-TLAB support (I have most of it written)
-Making the thing boot on real hardware with PCI device detection (i.e no skipping with no-detect or UEFI boot)
-Overall fixing the driver subsystem so things like specific device combinations in QEMU don't crash
-NVME driver (could re-use virtio-block code, probably needs the two before)
-basic GLSL->TGSI compiler (needed for Trial port)
-concurrency subsystem improvements

Will pay up to $300, XMR only (unless you live in CIS), can do upfront if you have reputationn

Last night I switched the GBA bitmap to be 8-bit paletted rather than 16-bit color to free up VRAM for sprites.

The tool that converts the image seems to do that wrong, it makes the palette entries RGB rather than BGR, so the color of skin is blue instead of pink. That has to be a bug, but can I really be the only person who has noticed this so far?

The solution is just use imagemagick to switch the channels:

Thanks imagemagick, for always being there.
