Does Mistral actually provide the training datasets, or are they using the fake definition of “”“open source AI”“” that the OSI has massaged into being as megacorp friendly as possible?

If you want Alacritty with tabs, COSMIC Term uses libalacritty, so you get the same performance, but with tabs (among other things).

For those that are, for some reason, incredulous of having more performant software (???), here’s a simple program to demonstrate the point:

use std::{
    fs::File,
    io::{BufWriter, Write},
};

fn main() {
    let buf = File::create("/dev/stdout").unwrap();
    let mut w = BufWriter::new(buf);
    let mut i = 0;

    while i <= 100000 {
        writeln!(&mut w, "{}", i).unwrap();
        i += 1;
    }
}

It simply prints the numbers 0-100000 to the screen. Compile it (rustc path-to-file). Run it in a non-accelerated terminal with time ./path-to-bin. Now time that same binary in a terminal emulator with GPU-acceleration.

The difference becomes more apparent with more text. Now, imagine needing to use something like find on a large set of files. Doing this on a non-accelerated terminal is literally slower.

It’s fine if you don’t need a GPU-accelerated terminal, but having acceleration is genuinely useful and a noticeable quality-of-life improvement if you do anything more than just basic CLI usage.

WASM is a better way to run code client-side, and has the benefit of not being a terribly slow, untyped mess 😌

W. JavaScript was a mistake.

They would still have disproportionate control over web standards. They should not be allowed to keep Chrome/Chromium under any circumstances.
