   No worries and believe me, I feel your pain (I moonlight as a (fish-)shell dev). I would have liked to use `exec -a` to set the executable name (as mentioned in the comments on the article) but alas, that too is not portable.

   && in a shebang isn't portable, having more than one argument in a shebang isn't portable, subshell in a shebang isn't portable, semicolon in a shebang isn't portable, basename usage isn't portable, not litt

   You missed (or didn't address, at any rate) my point. For a phone where all audio channels are in between both ears (or even worse, held off to the right/left of both ears) with only a minute difference in the angle of the arc to

   Nice catch, thanks for pointing that out! This also might be less than ideal if it’s the only option (rather than in addition to a runtime startup flag or a per-entrypoint/execution flag) because one could feasibly want to bundle the e

   Seems somewhat niche due to physics. When you are ten feet away from a screen (or even three), you can scarcely distinguish between audio emanating from the upper-left “pixel/voxel” (to give a new meaning to an old word) and from the b

   That answers half my question (eg disable networking), thank you. The other part was about the overhead of adding this to an app (startup memory usage and increase in binary size) and how much work has been done on interop so that you can e

   OP, since you're here in the comments can you talk about the binary and memory size and sandboxing support? Ability to import and export functions/variables across runtime boundaries? Is this a feasible replacement for Lua scripti

   C# is my second-favorite language. I made a shebang to do the same for rust (my number one) many years ago with zero (external) dependencies: https://neosmart.net/blog/self-compiling-rust-code/

   I don’t understand the value proposition of TeleMessage. Uses Signal but defeats the point of using Signal. Why not use a proper centralized chat with actual retention and encryption?

    Yup. They don’t compete technically, but they are realistically competing for attention and support as they’re using one in place of the other.

    Those are all issues actively virtualizing (i.e. taking a physical machine installation virtual), not installing NT 4 clean in a virtual env.

    This is the AirBnb format, right? They ditched it for a newer alternative; I’m not sure if this was relying on them for maintenance and development or not, but if so I’d say start looking elsewhere.

    I just want to point out that this (ridiculous) change did not impact Grok via the API.

    Why? Does it interpret the code?

    I want to say there was a product that did this circa 2006-2008 but all I’m finding is the .NET Micro Framework and its modern successor the .NET nano Framework. I’ve been using .NET since 2001 so maybe I have it confused with something els

    They do indeed. Rosetta 2 is lightyears beyond Rosetta when it comes to performance and emulation overhead strategies and benefits from hardware support (and having to do less work just because of fewer differences between the host/tar

    The benchmarks and charts they have up are frustrating because they don’t include 03-mini(-high) which they’ve been pushing as the low-latency+low-cost smart model to use for coding challenges instead of 4o and 4o-mini. Why won’t they inclu

    I have actually requested an even more intelligent/aggressive size optimization for nested enums, where values are automatically reassigned to not coincide/conflict to enable tag-less differentiation. Consensus was that it’s a big

    The important part is that this doesn’t seek to force a zero trade deficit on a per-country basis. Imagine insisting Cambodia has to buy as much US goods (taking into account the type of goods the US exports) as US companies import from Cam

    It would be much more convenient to use if changing the voice model worked on the fly, without having to stop and start the audio.

    That is not correct; in another comment you can see where the code takes advantage of the rust-specific &mut notation to use a fast memcpy for non-overlapping pointers.
