I highly recommend using the open source Sodium and Lithium mods to improve performance. And I hope you're not still using OptiFine!

I don't use OptiFine but care to explain to someone not in the loop why they should avoid OptiFine?

OptiFine's developer is sort of known for not wanting to open up his project and accept outside help. A lot of people are turned off by that but personally I think it is whatever.

The biggest thing is that it is a mess of horribly unoptimized code, hobbled together over more than a decade. In some newer versions, OptiFine can actually perform worse than vanilla. Their rendering changes also cause many issues with other mods, and since it is closed source, developers can't fix them.

Fabric or NeoForge running a handful of mods is vastly superior. It has been a bit but I would recommend looking at Fabulously Optimized as plug-and-play alternative | https://github.com/Fabulously-Optimized/fabulously-optimized

Hey, neat! Did they already ship Vulkan support?!

The title is misleading. This is model routing, not distillation.

Fixed formatting which will help with readability. We do routing, distillation, and token compaction.

Poles. The video shows a tent they set up just by zipping up the y zipper.

Netflix never had everything. I seem to remember watching a skit 10 ish years ago that joked that Netflix only had bad movies.

The ads are what get me.

Minecraft gained popularity super fast in its early days, probably because it was a free-to-play game that worked in the browser (thanks to Java). Notch had no reputation or marketing at the time.

It seems that Deno made the right decision by choosing Rust from the get-go.

Deno started in Go, but was rewritten in Rust before 0.1

How does the voice model delegate requests to GPT-5.5? Can the voice model generate text?

If you look at a satellite image of the Great Salt Lake [1], it looks like there's a digital seam/glitch between the north and the south half of the lake. In reality, a railroad was built through the middle of the lake in 1904, separating the water. The salinity of the north half has since become toxic to all organisms except some algae and cyanobacteria.

Thanks for the TIL, always just assumed it was some digital artifact

Wow, this is wild to see.

You're almost there :)

I'm not sure what you're referring to. If corn is replaced with solar panels that doesn't solve the fact that there will still be a ton of cars that demand ethanol-infused gasoline.

> in sensitive situations, law enforcement and border agents in many countries can compel a biometric unlock in ways they cannot with a password.

If the threat model includes state-level actors, then disabling biometrics won't prevent data from being retrieved from physical memory. It would probably be wiser to enable disk encryption and have a panic button that powers down/hibernates the computer so that no unencrypted data remains on RAM.

The website says shutdown "takes time" and "kills your session" but a hibernation button would take effect just as fast and would preserve the session.

Apple Silicon is at least much more difficult to attack in this way, though it might be possible.

a cop works for "the state," but he's definitely not a "state-level actor."

How do you define "state-level actor?" Police departments certainly have access to state and federal forensic resources to access unencrypted data in memory.

In the context of breaking into phones and laptops, "state-level actor" usually implies a team of people with NSA-type forensic capabilities. That is, they have deep expertise in infosec and related topics, access to 0days that the security apparatus has hoarded and kept secret for their own use, and they may have bespoke hardware to facilitate attacking the device.

A random cop might have access to a Cellebrite machine but they can't just call up the NSA and ask them to break into some drug dealer's macbook.

Fair enough. Though they certainly could still break in if the laptop isn't encrypted, so this tool is only useful when combined with disk encryption.
