  • Say whatever, but some open sourced it and others have not, despite their misleading "OpenAI" name. So, +1000 points to DeepSeek.

    This is how you make progress for all humanity. Allowing people to freely learn, improve, modify, and share.

  • Was a great phone for me. Sadly, charging port went nuts, it was very very hard to charge it properly and after the second morning with a dead phone, I had to make a decision.

    And no, repairing it is virtually impossible as they freaking soldered it to everything else, making the repair extremely expensive.

  • I've been back to reading this past year. Started with fiction, and slowly realised I could extract more useful stuff with non-fiction.

    I guess, movies already cover the "having fun" part generally, and women probably read more fiction because it's made by women, unlike movies.

  • Most "normal" programs use some "abstraction" libraries, so the programmer doesn't need to know which platform it is running on. This "platform" is important because it is the layer that actually talks to things like your SSD, RAM, GPU, etc.

    Videogames, tho, are very very specific programs that really benefit from very optimized code, so some of these "abstraction" libraries simply will be worked on for a specific operative system.

    Thankfully, the people from the WINE project and lots of work from Valve themselves have made it possible to "trick" these libraries into thinking they are talking to Windows. It's not perfect, tho, so some stuff is still not working, but you'd be surprised how much we've got already. Check out the ProtonDB project.

  • This is my (controversial) tip: ask an LLM. It works wonderfully for these cases. "Give me an ffmpeg command that cuts the last X seconds of a video in a lossless manner, stabilizes it and speeds it up 200%".

    You can then checkout those commands on the manual/online to verify.
