I actually tried giving the query and can confirm. Searching nanoclaw has now removed nanoclaw.net from the search (although nanoclaw.dev hasn't come in the search results but I suppose that can happen organically)

I am not the creator of nanoclaw or even related to it but I really appreciate how the DDG team took my feedback. Thanks to you as well!

> Thanks again!

Don't mind me if I use this comment (ie. Got thanked by Duckduckgo team for helping them) in anything like a resume haha. I am half joking but although small, I think that (resume?)/something similar could reflect why I love privacy services and if an employer can be right minded, it can give more talking points and maybe even a discussion starter. So I might be only half joking when I say this haha!

I am really happy too that I can be of help. I love the work done at Duckduckgo. Truly one of the few companies that I root for honestly. I use you guys everyday* and I love y'all.

It's truly a pleasure from my side as well that I could help Duckduckgo team, you guys have been quick in acting on the feedback!

Most Privacy conscious user really love and appreciates Duckduckgo imo, myself included.

I hope you guys have a nice day! Take care!

There are two major problems with your idea:

1. Your answer can be "no" when the true answer is "yes". Consider this process with a circle of perimeter "21":

--------------------- (unwrap the circle)
----------+---------- (bisect the line)
-**-------+--------** (drop four points)

The four points don't fall into either of the two semicircles that you stupidly predefined, but they do fall into a different semicircle.

2. Your answer of "1/2, because it's divided into two equal lengths" is completely wrong for the scenario that you specify.

Consider the case where we drop a single point. We can do the same procedure:

A. Unwrap the circle;

B. Bisect the line;

C. Drop one point.

But even though the line is still divided into two equal lengths, our one point has a 100% chance of falling either on one side of the bisection point, or on the other side.

For the case where we drop four points, the article already gives the correct answer for your method, which is 1/2^3 (because there are 3+1 points).

The main cost with on-prem is not the price of the gear but the price of acquiring talent to manage the gear. Most companies simply don't have the skillset internally to properly manage these servers, or even the internal talent to know whether they are hiring a good infrastructure engineer or not during the interview process.

For those that do, your scaling example works against you. If today you can merge three services into one, then why do you need full time infrastructure staff to manage so few servers? And remember, you want 24/7 monitoring, replication for disaster recovery, etc. Most businesses do not have IT infrastructure as a core skill or differentiator, and so they want to farm it out.

I'm a freelance interim EM and I do it for the same reason the article explains: I genuinely enjoy it.

I love engineers and I love tech. I still code daily but I'm not the guy that delivers at the pace of some of the amazing engineers that I had the privilege to work with. I love putting others ahead of myself wherever I can and it's never cost me anything, so I'm not afraid to do it again. I love telling the engineers how what they do actually matters because they're too focused on the work to sometimes see why changing goals doesn't mean their work and efforts were wasted and I also love shielding them from the corporate mess upstairs (that I somewhat masochistically don't even dread being part of)...

So, yeah, I really love my job and if one of my guys (or gals) wants that too, the more of a joy it is to me to mentor them into that process.

ofcourse ofcourse,

I've documented everything here: https://github.com/alichherawalla/off-grid-mobile-ai/blob/ma...

llama.cpp compiled as a native Android library via the NDK, linked into React Native through a custom JSI bridge. GGUF models loaded straight into memory.
On Snapdragon devices we use QNN (Qualcomm Neural Network) for hardware acceleration. OpenCL GPU fallback on everything else. CPU-only as a last resort.

Image gen is Stable Diffusion running on the NPU where available. Vision uses SmolVLM and Qwen3-VL. Voice is on-device Whisper.

The model browser filters by your device's RAM so you never download something your phone can't run. The whole thing is MIT licensed - happy to answer anything about the architecture.

The casks I checked - alacritty, double-commander, qbittorrent and wine-stable - are deprecated not rejected, per se.

`brew info` reports the following for all of those:

"Deprecated because it does not pass the macOS Gatekeeper check! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01."

How does Homebrew treat updates to deprecated casks prior to being disabled? Will they get security updates? Will yours?

> 120 Hz vs 60 Hz? Night and day.

It's night and day when you're going back and forth between looking at them and wiggle your mouse around in circle. But after a few seconds of being focused on your work, you're not thinking about it anymore.

Being able to watch 24fps video without non-integer frame weirdness is the only real advantage outside of twitch-reaction gaming.

> Unfortunately, for decades, free software fanatics have bullied inexperienced and eager programmers, who don't know any better into believing that an actual sustainable development model that respects their work is evil and that we should all work for free and beg for donations.

Silicon Valley hype monsters have done this, sure. And so have too many open source software advocates. But all the free software advocates I've read and listened to over the years have criticized MIT- and BSD-style permissive licenses for permitting exactly the freeloading you describe.

Not helpful, this is an AI generated post.

We do have actual video of that one radome in Bahrain getting directly struck (from multiple angles). It's possible it was a satellite communication antenna and not a radar.

But the still images shown with before/after are AI generated. (the surrounding buildings are completely different in the before/after image).

The radar that is likely to have been damaged is the one in Qatar, here is reporting from an NPR editor using Planet satellite imagery: https://nitter.net/gbrumfiel/status/2028227786750476627

Just based on skimming the transcript, it sounds like it wasn't a D&D campagin, it was actually a roguelike CRPG that he vibecoded in Claude Code.

Still, he mentions some gross things, like how he "got bullied into" adding a game mechanic he didn't want by the LLM. It kept adding it, without being asked, and he finally just got tired of taking it back out again. The mechanic in question was a leveling system, so I imagine the LLM kept adding it because that's such a standard-issue element of dungeon crawler games. Which speaks to my main source of pessimism about AI in games: LLMs have a tendency to want to do standard, middle-of-the-road things, and will tend to fight you every step of the way when you try to involve them in an attempt to do something new and different.

But I imagine you'd run into a similar thing with D&D campaigns. Which, if true, raises the question: why would I need an LLM to generate Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms style quests when back issues of Dungeon magazine already give me more of that kind of material than I could reasonably get through in a lifetime, and probably in a much more polished form?

They’re still fairly uncommon in macOS, mostly being used in places related to cloud service settings. SwiftUI and Catalyst (iOS bridge) are both much more common than webviews, and AppKit remains ubiquitous.

Meanwhile on Windows major features like the Start menu are written in React.

Worth noting that WebKit webviews also tend to be more lightweight than their Chromium brethren.

Tasteless to you, factually correct to me. Both correct actually.

Look, you do your kids, literally nobody in the world cares how great or messed up individuals they will become, the result always match the process so its pretty obvious.

But your freedom to do whatever stops when you start infringing rights of me and my family. Right to privacy is, where I live and most sane places, enforceable by law. Also, its called not being an asshole or similar rougher terms.

There definitely are bottlenecks. The one I always think of is the kernel's networking stack. There's no sense in using the kernel TCP stack when you have hundreds of independent workloads. That doesn't make any more sense than it would have made 20 years ago to have an external TCP appliance at the top of your rack. Userspace protocol stacks win.

> Maybe I am actually naive, but I just have not yet been convinced I should actually care.

You are. Tracking is extremely dangerous to the society.

Before Shiftkey offers a nurse a shift, it purchases that worker's credit history from a data-broker. Specifically, it pays to find out how much credit-card debt the nurse is carrying, and whether it is overdue.

The more desperate the nurse's financial straits are, the lower the wage on offer. Because the more desperate you are, the less it'll take to get get you to come and do the gruntwork of caring for the sick, the elderly, and the dying

Yeah, 100% agree. That's one thing I just thought about yesterday also - Every session should be summarised and written to the data store also, that way sessions become portable contexts. There's potentially a case to be made to have full replay, i.e. the plaintext sessions stored but I'm not entirely sure on how much more valuable that is over a summary.

Do you have thoughts, or a take on that?

I think GitHub shipping Copilot while suffering availability issues is a rational choice because they get more measurable business upside from a flashy AI product than from another uptime graph. In my experience the only things that force engineering orgs to prioritize uptime are public SLOs with enforced error budgets that can halt rollouts, plus solid observability like Prometheus and OpenTelemetry tracing, canary rollouts behind feature flags, multi-region active-active deployments, and regular chaos experiments to surface regressions. If you want them to change, push for public SLOs or pay for an enterprise SLA, otherwise accept that meaningful uptime improvements cost money and will slow down the flashy stuff.

Microsoft Build is coming back to San Francisco this year.

It will be held at Fort Mason June 2-3 with ~2,500 in‑person attendees and more virtual.

goal is to focus on developers using the AI tech, building and shipping systems.

more shipping, tighter sessions, hands‑on demos, and more time talking to other builders - sounds interesting

Curious how others feel about format versus large‑scale events.

Well, that's the thing about the em-dash - it has always been usable as a "swiss army knife" punctuation mark.

Strictly speaking, an em-dash is never needed; it could always be a comma or semicolon or parentheses instead. Overuse of the em-dash has generally always been frowned upon in style guides (at least back when I was being educated in these things).

Titles are really a trap cannot reveal the real work, everything it's related to the size of company, type of organization and sector.

A "top" position in a small company could be a mid one in a big tech but with a narrow field compared to the small one when sometimes you need to refill the coffee machine. At same time the flexibility of small one helps to solve problems of big ones.

Photons are generated in the star’s core but the core is dense. The photons move around the core, bouncing off other particles, a random walk. It takes a vast amount of time for that photon to escape the sun and reach the Earth, as per monte-carlo simulations of this random walk.

However, as the photon collides with other particles during its random walk, some of its energy is transmitted to those other particles. Sometimes a collision transfers energy to it too.

In a simple model, the energy that originally belonged to the photon gets transmitted from particle to particle through convection, and can escape the star through radiation long before the original photon reaches the surface. I don’t think that model is supposed to be physically accurate, rather to be an illustration about the convention process inside a star.

Oh, nice! I always wanted one of those, a many-core build server running ARM would be excellent for Yocto. Anything running in quemu in the rootfs is so slow on x86 and I've seen the rootfs postprocess step take a long time.

Though... these days, getting enough RAM to support builds across 80 cores would be twice the price of the whole rest of the system I'm guessing.

It's part DSP, part thermal modeling. The speakers can be driven pretty hard, but will overheat and fail if too much power is put into them in a short period. macOS has a thermal model to keep the speakers within safe limits; a major component of Asahi's DSP profile is a similar model. (Without that model in place, Asahi restricts the power level to avoid damage.)

summaries are probably 80% of the value at 10% of the storage cost. full replay is nice for debugging weird agent behavior but day-to-day you rarely need the raw transcript.

the interesting edge case is when the summary itself becomes the lossy artifact - like, who decides whats important enough to keep? if the model summarises, it might quietly drop the context that would have mattered most next week.

hybrid might be the move: rolling summary plus last N raw turns.

I had similar frustrations and been maintaining a Firefox fork trying to fill a gap there. The result is Konform Browser and I think it might be relevant to youl please check it out!

> every single extension provides 100% access to my websites to whoever controls the extension

That feels a like a bit of overstatement and depends on what addons you use and how you install them... CSPs at least make it possible to restrict such things by policy (assuming user has been exposed to it and parsed it...). https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web... MV3 introduced further restrictions and controls regarding addon capabilities. While I agree the UI and UX around this could be much better, it's not all hopeless. The pieces are mostly there.

While the fundamental addon execution security model in Konform Browser is inherited from upstream, for core addons like uBO you can improve the supply-chain security situation by loading it under "system scope" and disable addon updates in the browser itself. So while we don't (yet) improve on the runtime aspects you speak of, at least for now we can tighten up the supply-chain side to minimize risk of bad code running in the first place.
Literally `apt-get install webext-ublock-origin-firefox`.

A little explanation and reference of how it works if you want to do the same in other FF build or apply the same approach for other addons: https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source#bundled-extensio...

Any particular addon you think is missing from the list there and should also be packaged and easily available? Maybe will be able to improve some of the security-UI/UX here too down the line. I'd be keen to hear your take on how this should be done better!

Regarding what addons can and do leak about you to the outside... I think you may also take interest in this patch, which I hope to upstream Soon (tm):

Not true.

Apple made a non-technological and purely artificial and somewhat capricious decision to not sell a product that was worthy of the Apple brand.

They continue down this road because next quarter is more important than next year, and sycophants continue to buy unusable products just to show off the Apple logo to people who don't view it as a Veblen good.

Apple could choose to sell to everyone, but instead sell to a minority. This is a choice. During recessions, it is not a good choice, and we have been in an almost persistent global recession since 2008.

As long as Apple can claim they have a $1T market cap, nobody wants to hear that the emperor is buck naked.

> And for travel, location services is often used by the better banks as an alternative to immediately blocking your card every time you go anywhere.

I routinely use my (U.S.) credit card abroad and never had issues. I don't have any banking app on my phone, which runs Graphene, because I do not need access to banking on the go. Things such as airport lounges, co-working spaces, exercise classes, may be valuable, but none of these things is more important than my freedom. I do not tolerate the thought that some company may track which services I use and where I go without my consent. I therefore do not use proprietary apps on my phone. If something does not work in the browser (Vanadium), I will do without it.

Quoting Wikipedia[1] quoting the US Supreme Court,

The thread running through all these cases is that prior restraints on speech and publication are the most serious and the least tolerable infringement on First Amendment rights. A criminal penalty or a judgment in a defamation case is subject to the whole panoply of protections afforded by deferring the impact of the judgment until all avenues of appellate review have been exhausted. Only after judgment has become final, correct or otherwise, does the law's sanction become fully operative.

A prior restraint, by contrast and by definition, has an immediate and irreversible sanction. If it can be said that a threat of criminal or civil sanctions after publication "chills" speech, prior restraint "freezes" it at least for the time.

A lot of AI twitter is just this:

Create a vibe-coded demo -> showcase it with a faked/overblown video and an "It's not X It's Y. Read thread!!11!" type engagement bait -> Get LLM comments all riled up and excited in the comments to fake hype -> sell a course/LLM wrapper.
