reminds me when Brazil launched their Pix payment system nationwide, which is free for individuals, and the US launched an investigation into unfair trading

potential unfair advantaging of Brazilian payment services over US competitors was cited

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has accused US president Donald Trump of being “bothered by Pix” because it “will put an end to credit cards”

lol get rekt

Also, it’s useful to know how, when, or why something happens. I can make a useless chatbot that is “right” most times if it only tells people to seek medical help.

I hope that discourages open source projects and similar communities from using discord as forum / user support.

it just means they’ll be a passive node, but still able to seed if they connect to the other node (edited). It’s the setup I have and I manage to keep an overall ratio >1, especially if the torrent is popular.

you don’t actually know that you would have continued playing that game

yes, that’s kind of my point. With this feature it’d be more likely that I would. I don’t play games for the boss fights, but even story-driven ones have them at times. They’re more of a nuisance to me.

Idk, I’ve left some games behind, which I could have played many more hours, just because I didn’t have the patience to get past a level/battle/boss, whatever. Not so much as a teenager, but definitely as an adult.

Sometimes I come back after weeks or months, sometimes I don’t bother.

Isn’t it against the law in many places to charge customers without providing a breakdown of what they’re being charged with?

maybe he calls his net worth “cognition”

it works!!!

I miss start menu ads, intrusive bing searches, copilot upselling, MSN news, and uninstallable things I’ll never use on my PC like Xbox.

yes, the system will likely use some swap if available even when there’s plenty of free RAM left:

The casual reader1 may think that with a sufficient amount of memory, swap is unnecessary but this brings us to the second reason. A significant number of the pages referenced by a process early in its life may only be used for initialisation and then never used again. It is better to swap out those pages and create more disk buffers than leave them resident and unused.

In my recently booted system with 32GB and half of that free (not even “available”), I can already see 10s of MB of swap used.

As rule of thumb, it’s only a concern or indication that the system is/was starved of memory if a significant share of swap is in use. But even then, it might just be some cached pages hanging around because the kernel decided to keep instead of evicting them.

if my system touches SWAP at all, it’s run out of memory

That’s a swap myth. Swap is not an emergency memory, it’s about creating a memory reclamation space on disk for anonymous pages (pages that are not file-backed) so that the OS can more efficiently use the main memory.

The swapping algorithm does take into account the higher cost of putting pages in swap. Touching swap may just mean that a lot of system files are being cached, but that’s reclaimable space and it doesn’t mean the system is running out of memory.

I disagree. What I could hack over a weekend starting a project, I can do in a couple hours with AI, because starting a project is where the typing bottleneck is, due to all of the boilerplate. I can’t type faster than an LLM.

Also, because there are hundreds of similar projects out there and I won’t get to the parts that make mine unique in a weekend, that’s the perfect use case for “vibe coding”.

potentially relevant: paperless recently merged some opt-in LLM features, like chatting with documents and automated title generation based on the OCR context extracted.

https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/pull/10319

it’s larger than one, also likely larger than nvidia Jetson and some firewalls out there. The record is for the smallest PC capable of running a 100B model LLM locally.

The specs are impressive tbh, but the record is a bit… specific

It makes sense for it to be there
