microsoft introduced Dev drives for this reason, they are optimized such that no file system filters are attached

one might argue that one of the advantages of languages like C is that you only pay for the features you choose to use, no unnecessary overhead like initializing unused variables

While OpenCV was born at Intel, I don't think it's solely developed by Intel anymore, there's now a non-profit organization in charge of the project:

I agree, the visualization is pretty but kinda useless to explain mat-mult.

It would have been more intuitive to show every element in output matrix corresponds to a dot-product of row/column vectors from input matrices, the animation doesn't even highlight those corresponding vectors clearly..

The above manifesto makes the argument to use UTF-8 *everywhere*, even on windows where the internal representation is not native utf8.

The conversion overhead is really negligible: https://utf8everywhere.org/#faq.cvt.perf

(note: the two api calls per conversion is because how those specific functions work, first call to get the size to allocate, second to do the actual conversion, but you can always use another library in the implementation for the utf8<->utf16 conversion that might be more optimized than those windows api functions)

Like explained in https://utf8everywhere.org/#windows , you can write simple wrapper functions `narrow`/`widen` used when you are about to call window api functions.

    ::SetWindowTextW(widen(someStdString).c_str());

Implementation is straightforward, relying on `WideCharToMultiByte`/`MultiByteToWideChar` to do the conversion:

SD is uncensored, you can generate anything you want with no "safety" rails to stop you.

Just take a loot at civitai to see the kind of finetuned models that are out there.

Nowadays even consumer-level hardware can run some decent local LLMs, completely offline.

You might want to browse /r/LocalLLaMA/ if "security" is an issue for you.

both work in the same way, by setting up a proxy/local-vpn through which all traffic passes in order to filter ad hosts at the dns level.

sounds like something LLMs can help with, sift through huge amounts of documents to summarize and highlight the interesting ones

given the proliferation of electron-based desktop apps, which are known to be resource heavy, making various so libraries smaller is indeed a welcome improvement.
