Even getting the licensing right isn't sufficient. They could license it as MIT today, close source it again tomorrow, and within a few releases no one would be using the MIT version.

Unless someone is interested in maintaining a full fork. It's the same reason Google can do whatever they want with Chromium even though it's technically open source. No one else has the resources/will to maintain it so there's no credible threat of a fork.
There's a funny circular dependency in glibc sources because errno lives in the TLS block which is allocated using __sbrk which can set the errno before it's allocated (see the __libc_setup_tls).

The branch that actually touches the errno is unlikely to be executed. However I did experience a puzzling crash with a cross-compiled libc because the compiler was smart enough to inject a speculative load of errno outside of the branch. Fun times.
I definitely want to say is instead of ist but it is bugging me every couple of months. You do the upgrade and 6 months later it needs another one. No LTS in sight

3DBenchy.stl, the little boat that everyone prints as a benchmark during 3d printer reviews, is 10MB.

A 10MB hard drive cost $3,000-4,000 in 1980.

That's $12k-15k today.

Just opening the .stl file and having it render (USABLY) on screen in high-resolution was probably not economical until the late 1990s-early 2000s.

I am used to computing tasks being human-perception instant. It takes tens of seconds to run repairs on 3d models, which means it would have taken tens of hours to do that same thing, if there was even enough RAM, in the 90s.

I don't think this is an "old system" though.
Your point aside, counting letters is not a good task for LLMs since they aren't trained on letters. They are trained on tokens which represent words or parts of words.
I have a drip brewer (Moccamaster), mocha pot, Senseo, french press, Keurig machine, aeropress, pour over setup, e61-based espresso machine (a heat exchanger), and am upgrading to a dual boiler espresso machine. I also have a Nespresso machine.

Each can make very good coffee and none of them taste bad in comparison to any others.

But if your budget is $1000, I would avoid the espresso category because you also need a grinder and a great grinder is probably more than a budget espresso machine and more important for consistent and good shots.
Exactly. We should be working on making nuclear reactors cost $1/watt to construct. I can't see a technological reason why they couldn't be that cheap to build.

Yeah, I went to a frozen yogurt place and scraped together enough Japanese to ask if there was an English speaker. They brought before me the store manager, a 22-year-old girl fresh out of college who'd spent a year in California as an exchange student and was super over the moon to be speaking to a real American once again. It was super cute, and we just stood there and talked about random stuff for several minutes before I realized I still wanted frozen yogurt and didn't know how to operate the machines or pay for my order.

I did the same thing and seized any opportunity to practice. I spent a lot of evenings that vacation in bars, just speaking to locals so I could git gud enough in Japanese to... function at a basic level there. I think I gained more Japanese language levels during those two weeks than I did my three semesters of collegiate study of the language.

It's lovely to visit, but unless Rakuten or Nintendo or somebody offered me a too-good-to-pass-up career opportunity, I couldn't foresee myself living in Japan. It's pricey, and as a white dude I would always be seen as an outsider (the literal translation of gaijin) with attendant social disadvantages: I couldn't live or work in certain places, more paperwork and bureaucratic hoops I'd need to jump through, the funny looks and people hiding from me (not so much a problem in Osaka but I hear it happens in Tokyo a lot).

Oh, you know those radio DJ booths in Splatoon where you can look through the plate glass and see the hostesses making their broadcast? Those are actual things in Japan. I passed by one in Doutonbori and the radio hosts started making remarks about the funny foreigner. Yay.
Yes, at least, partially. It will work, but maybe not as well as we don't parse out the function names from .svelte files.

I can add it if tree sitter adds support for Svelte. I haven't checked, maybe it already is supported?
+1 for the bidet
It varies depending on the language but I find GPT4o to be good into knowing the context and go sometimes with the intent not just the grammar and rules of the language. But for most cases it is an overkill and you still have the chance of hallucination (although it has less occurrence chances in these use cases)

This is of course based on my experience using it between Arabic, English and French which is among the 5 most popular languages. Things might be dramatically different with other languages.
(< $1000 category)

Living in American public housing, we used our pandemic stimulus money to buy two RabbitAir MinusA2 HEPA air purifiers. At $600 each plus $95/yr (for filter change) they're utterly fantastic and the pre-HEPA stages are easily cleanable with a cheap air compressor and wet paper towels. The multi-stage filter system is quite quiet on level 3 (of 5) but will really blow at 5 and be nearly silent at 2. You can tell how well they work by how the filters build up over time. The build quality is top-shelf with exquisite tolerances.

I can't recommend them enough. In my travels, I learned my favorite aphorism, which comes from China, I believe:

>>> Pay a lot, cry once.

Our RabbitAir units are the finest example we can afford, easily our best quality-of-life investment.

Sorry if this is getting into TMI territory but how does the bidet avoid dissolving the unwanted material and spraying it all over everywhere? And how does one dry this without toilet paper?
I find it useless without an option to add context to the text I want to translate.
Yes. But I don’t think this type of regulation should care about whether it’s technically possible to do today. You could make a New York proposal type ban e.g banning algorithmic feeds to minors, even if it’s difficult to tell who is a minor and who isn’t. Social media companies would solve the ID problem or simply stop using those algorithms outright.

Btw we are working on a really great iOS client for xmpp. I think we'll release it in a few months.
Indeed, that's what would make most sense to me.

I also strongly suspect the way they're able to make it free is by caching the results, so each translation only happens one time regardless of how many requests for the page happen. If they translated dynamic content, they couldn't (safely) cache the results.
I can't use it because I'm not classified as "human" by a computer. There is no captcha that I could get wrong, just a checkbox that probably uses a black box model to classify me automatically

Was curious after the post claimed that the quality is better than Google and DeepL, but the current top comment showed translations from Afrikaans that it got wrong but I could understand as a Dutch person who doesn't even speak that language (so it's not like seven levels of negation and colloquialisms that they broke it on)

What do I do with this "Error Code: 600010"? I've submitted a "report" but obviously they're not going to know if those reports are from a bot author frustrated with the form or me, a paying customer of Kagi's search engine. The feedback page linked in the blog post has the same issue: requires you to log in before being able to leave feedback, but "We couldn't verify if you're a robot or not." The web is becoming more fragmented and unusable every day...
And then, when the uncaring federal government with its army comes along to enforce federal law, what do you do?

I think the exact opposite solution is better: blue every state you can by undoing "the great sort". We will learn more that much of the division is media amplified, and that at the core of it, most humans want the same few things. This guy called Maslow even arranged these needs in a hierarchical framework.
Nespresso machines hide the coffee inside plastic capsules. Why?

1. You don’t know what coffee you get, you cannot really vary the coffee anymore and maybe try a different local one (where I live we have local coffee). Then you don’t even know if it’s just 100% coffee or they add something else

2. Why consuming plastic for a simple thing like a coffee? Plastic is NOT recycled in most of the countries and its bad for environment if not properly managed. Burning plastic increase pollution, but leaving it in the nature can take 500 years to dissolve. Why a simple thing like coffe powder, kept in a glass jar, used in a metal coffee mocha, now has to become the new trend to involve plastic? It’s literally the same thing, just worst for the environment.
> Ooof, boy is Apple in for a disaster with their iPhone and Mac products!

Considering how fanatical Apple users can be about literally anything Apple throws at them they were not excited about AI

https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/25-of-smartphone-owners-don...

> Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, and all of the other big companies as well! They're doomed!

Many of them are certainly in a bit of trouble because they've poured obscene amounts of money into AI and it really hasn't turned into anything people really want. They keep forcing AI at people in every product they can because they're hoping that eventually something will stick and people will fawn over it, but so far people just haven't found AI to be all that useful, they don't trust it (https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2023/06/05/in-ai-w...) and they have privacy concerns (with good reason).

It's great that you've found it useful. I know a few people who get some value out of it, even if only as a toy, but there's no killer app for AI certainly nothing that justifies the insane costs that went into it. Most of the time it's just getting in people's way and it's largely been ignored by the public (https://indianexpress.com/article/technology/artificial-inte...)

On the sidenote, does anyone know what methods Yandex use? When I'm trying to translate Kyrgyz, Google Translate shows utter trash that makes less sense than if they chose words at random. Yandex in comparison is very impressive. What's the secret ingredient?

> Ford's "Sync 3" and "Sync 4/4A" infotainment systems run on QNX as well, though being just infotainment they didn't really care about the realtime aspect (though I'm sure stability was a big thing compared to their Windows CE based predecessors).

I've got a Sync 2 car, and I can't say I've noticed instability. The UI toolkit is slow, but the story on that is someone's cousin did something some Macromedia stuff that barely worked and they shipped that. I've got some issues with GPS offset, but that's pretty stable. I had worse stability with the Chrysler UConnect in my 2017 Pacifica, and that was reportedly based on QNX; it would sometimes crash and restart, or the screen would not come on at all unless you knew the magic buttons to hold to force reboot.
Ah, that makes sense. In my head it sounded like server-side dynamic content OR not wanting to translate LLM outputs, neither of which makes sense or is possible.

Corporate IT: What do you use to manage Linux laptops for your employees?
My current company is managing the employees' laptops, which can either be Windows 11 based or MacOS based devices. We use JAMF, Intune and Empirum (made by Matrix42) to manage and ensure governance over the devices.
In my former firms, this was never a problem, as the company trusted their experts to ensure secure usage and proper licensing on their devices, but this is not an option in this scenario.

We would love to offer Linux-based laptops as well and especially the developers and IT technicans would be super happy to have a debians based OS, the IT service teams don't want to hand over these machines without any centralized control/governance.

Do you have any experience or hints how to ensure any kind of centralized managemend / governance / control for a linux based laptop? What you the solutions, your company have chosen?

Thanks
I hope they're successful. I think the web really needs some "decluttering". The ratio of processing power by useful payload nowadays is unsustainable. For example any news website, in order to read some text, you need to load a ton of JavaScript, ads (some even video) that add zero value to the intended purpose. My nostalgia wants some of the early 00s web again, but I believe in something between.
Which consumes far less watts and potentially reducing many tons of e-waste globally.
Very similar to "kikiriki" in Spanish.
Congrats on the launch! It's great to see more companies build serverless offerings on top of Deno.

I lead Supabase Edge Functions product, a similar offering built on top of Deno runtime too. We have open-sourced our runtime (https://github.com/supabase/edge-runtime), and it's self-hostable. It supports NPM, node built-ins, pluggable storage, and web sockets. We also have a built-in API for AI inference (https://supabase.com/blog/ai-inference-now-available-in-supa...)

Supabase Edge Runtime is easy to self-host (works great as a multi-threaded JS web server). We love community contributions :) Let us know if you would like to collaborate.

For people unwilling to invest in Global Entry, Mobile Passport Control [0] is a free program almost as fast as GE at the airports that support it. At the moment it's still sort of a lesser-known "travel hack" but it's becoming increasingly popular.

In my opinion though GE + TSA Pre is still worth it — the only thing better than the shorter preflight security screening is the even shorter GE kiosk line re-entering the US.

Unlike a trip to the doctor, when two to three flushes sorts it out, at home it is a case of maybe 10-20 repetitions depending how bad. But each one is really quick and I find there is no pain as the pressure is very low, unlike the doctor which did quite often hurt.
