Connectivity to databases was one of Delphi's main selling points.
I think one dude spread the myth of no DLLs in the Twitter thread, lots of people repeated it, and since Delphi 6/7 is not around anymore and it's hard to check, they got away with a slight historical innacuracy.
It’s ego and desperation for one last hurrah. Disney has a history of being a corporate governance nightmare - which Iger ironically contributed toward fixing. He’s undoing all that now.
Those who have found Truth splayed and disemboweled upon a sacrificial alter of corruption and lies know conspiracies are the weeds that choke off the outliers to pay for the comfortable and convenient lies of the passing world.
ChatGPT seems to just randomly pick urls to cite and extract information from.
Google Gemini seems to look at heuristics like whether the author is trustworthy, or an expert in the topic. But more advanced

It's so organic and grass roots and good for democracy™ that every single Western country suddenly decided that eliminating privacy online in lockstep was the top priority despite none of the ruling parties running on it as a platform or with any meaningful referendums from the voting public. But to what end?
Hard agree. Literally every Windows editor I've ever used, except Notepad, allows me to configure it to save CRLF or LF or sometimes even CR files. And I always just leave it on LF because it's easier.
Old Notepad support should not be a priority for a language implementer. Get a real text editor, they're varied and plentiful. This was always a non-issue drudged up by nobody actually interested in using Zig and so it was rightfully ignored.
Found this while fighting with ROCm last week. Some team called Aule Technologies built a FlashAttention implementation for AMD hardware that actually runs.
Anyone who's tried attention kernels on MI200/MI300 knows the ecosystem is a graveyard of abandoned CUDA ports. This one works out of the box.
Repo: https://github.com/AuleTechnologies/Aule-Attention
53 stars, still pretty new. Looked at the code — it's clean HIP, not some janky translation layer. Benchmarks look legit though I haven't verified independently.
Not affiliated, just surprised something in the ROCm attention space isn't broken. Figured others here running AMD might find it useful.
Author here. Quick summary for those who want the TL;DR before diving in:
*The Issue:*
- Antigravity IDE (Electron-based) shows 1.4TB VSZ per instance
- Only uses 300MB RSS (actual RAM)
- VSZ/RSS ratio: 2,655:1 (normal is ~10:1)
- For comparison, VSCode shows 2-5GB VSZ
*Why It Matters:*
While high VSZ alone doesn't directly affect performance (it's just reserved address space), it does contribute to swap pressure. With 6 instances, Antigravity became the #1 swap consumer on my system (2.5GB / 31.8% of total swap).
*Testing:*
Confirmed across multiple builds on Arch Linux (6.17.2), 16GB RAM.
Happy to answer questions or provide additional debugging data.
I built this because honestly I was sick of cold outreach. cold calling, cold emailing, it is the worst. For both parties. Instead, I reached out on communities like reddit where people were talking about the issues I solved. from there I offered real value, not some fake self promo. I actually got good clients from doing this.
Anyways I got good feedback from colleagues and decided to build a tool that finds posts/leads that match your keywords and intent. similar to what I was doing, but much more efficient and automated. very simple, very straightforward. Doing reddit right now with plans for future integrations (other platforms).
Let me know what you think. We launched a month ago and have our first couple paying users and improving weekly based on user feedback.
This was pretty much my take as well. I have an older CPU, Motherboard and GPU combo before the newer GPU power cables that obviously weren't tested properly and I have no problems with stability.
These guys are running an intensive game on the highest difficulty, while streaming and they probably have a bunch of browser windows and other software running background. Any weakness in the system is going to be revealed.
I had performance issues during that time and I had to restart game every 5 matches. But it takes like a minute to restart the game.
<< I feel there is a point when all these benchmarks are meaningless.
I am relatively certain you are not alone in this sentiment. The issue is that the moment we move past seemingly objective measurements, it is harder to convince people that what we measure is appropriate, but the measurable stuff can be somewhat gamed, which adds a fascinating layer of cat and mouse game to this.
> In that case I believe it's fair to disregard all other epistemological processes and blame BSODs on the game out of principle
I am sorry but that is asinine and unscientific. You should blame BSODs on what is causing them. I don't like kernel anti-cheat but I will blame the actual cause of the issues, not assign blame on things which I don't approve of.
I am a long time Linux user and many of the people complaining about BSODs on Windows had a broken the OS in one way or another. Some were running weird stuff like 3rd party shell extensions that modify core DLLs, or they had installed every POS shovelware/shareware crap. That isn't Microsoft's fault if you start running an unsupported configuration of the OS.
Similarly. The YouTubers that were most vocal about HellDivers problems did basically no proper investigation other than saying "look it crashed", when it was quite clearly their broken hardware that was the issue. As previously stated their CPU had a burn mark on one of the pins, some AM5 had faults that caused this IIRC. So everything indicated hardware failure being the cause of the BSOD. They still blamed the game, probably because it got them more watch time.
During the same time period when people were complaining about BSODs, I didn't experience one. I was running the same build of the game as them and playing on the same difficulty and sometimes recording it via OBS (just like they were). What I didn't have was a AM5 motherboard, I have and older AM4 motherboard which doesn't have these problems.
Hey, I'm Nathan, the creator of the AI Social Sales Analyzer.
My co-founder Jenna and I built and run a social CRM (GroupTrack), so we live and breathe organic sales. We've noticed for a long time that social media is a goldmine of marketing insights - comment threads, DMs, viral videos, group posts - but the sheer volume makes it impossible for humans to process it all. The signals are there, but they're hidden in the noise.
That’s why we built this tool. We wanted an AI that didn't just "chat" and give generic answers, but actually understood our business and as well as the page we were viewing.
=========================
How it works:
=========================
DEFINE YOUR CONTEXT: Tell the AI who you serve and what you sell (just once!)
BROWSE ANYWHERE: Go to a Facebook Group, Instagram Post, YouTube video, Reddit Feed, X thread, DM Conversation, LinkedIn profile, Discord discussion, Skool Group or anywhere on these social sites where people are posting (more sites coming soon)
ANALYZE INSTANTLY: Click "ANA" (our Chrome Extension sidebar widget) to scan the page text, building a smart and lightweight representation of the page, scrolling to collect as much context as you choose
GET ACTIONABLE INTEL: The AI combines the page content + your business context to give you specific sales angles, summary insights, or engagement ideas
DIVE DEEPER: Use our suggested follow up questions, or ask your own to dig into the results. Chats are multi-turn and preserved with 30 days of history.
=========================
We built this tool to cut through the chaos and help you find the "money" in the noise.
We’d love to hear your feedback! Does this fit into your current prospecting workflow? Do you consider market research on social media an important aspect of organic outreach?
I will say that it is wild, if not somewhat problematic that two users have such disparate views of seemingly the same product. I say that, but then I remember my own experience just from few days ago. I don't pay for gemini, but I have paid chatgpt sub. I tested both for the same product with seemingly same prompt and subbed chatgpt subjectively beat gemini in terms of scope, options and links with current decent deals.
It seems ( only seems, because I have not gotten around to test it in any systematic way ) that some variables like context and what the model knows about you may actually influence quality ( or lack thereof ) of the response.
I think it's related. The nature of the wage work likely also self-selects for people who simply enjoy coding and being removed from the bigger picture problems they are solving.
Im on the side of only enjoy coding to solve problems and i skipped software engineering and coding for work explicitly because i did not want to participate in that dynamic of being removed from the problems. instead i went into business analytics, and now that AI is gaining traction I am able to do more of what I love - improving processes and automation - without ever really needing to "pay dues" doing grunt work I never cared to be skilled at in the first place unless it was necessary.
This shift toward new platforms is exactly why I’m building Truwol, a social experience focused on real, unedited human moments instead of the AI-saturated feeds we’re drifting toward. I’m developing it independently and sharing the progress publicly, so if you’re interested in projects reinventing online spaces from the ground up, you can see what I’m working on Truwol buymeacoffee/Truwol
