Check out Aardvark (renamed to reflection) it's a collaborative note-taking app from the GNOME folks. I think the idea isn't to completely remove cloud infrastructure, but to at least make it optional and/or provide alternati

You claim to just “keep it simple” but then rattle off about 10 k8s related tech nouns. No, I don’t think it’s simple.

The difference is at the moment of writing, you understand it. A LLM outputs a giant glob and you immediately don’t understand it.

I think people are rightly hesitant to share code that has their name on it but for which they know nothing about. I have seen a few of these full blown llm coded projects and every one of them has has some giant red flashing warning at the

Does anyone know why LLMs love emojis so much?

Apostrophe does the same thing, it’s just not really shown on the store page. It provides both distraction free and Hemingway modes. Hemingway mode doesn’t let you use backspace!

Looks a lot like https://flathub.org/apps/org.gnome.gitlab.somas.Apostrophe for anyone on Linux

Like the Eisenhower speech. Every missile is 10 new schools, food to feed 100 families for a year, etc.

Pretty sure that’s what the whole suit is about.

They have lawyers that need to justify their salary. Also why would they give up something for nothing. This is the “market forces” at work.

For what it’s worth, the Rust driver pointed to in the article doesn’t have a single unsafe block, raw pointer, pointer arithmetic, or any of those other things you mentioned. It’s a simple driver. But it’s also possible that rust code does

How would that even work with the JVM?
733.
by WD-42 1y ago
The rust driver does read better. I like that the functions are organized as methods under a member less struct, as opposed to the C version where they are top level with_really_long_function_names that take a struct parameter.

The QT client for Matrix is called Nheko: https://nheko-reborn.github.io/ There's a client in just about every toolkit. Just takes a cursory internet search...

Scare off whatever human visitors you have left with more paywalls, sounds like a great plan.

For some reason these fully functional ai generated projects that the authors vibe out while playing guitar and clipping their toenails are never open source.

I think you are over-estimating how much people care. If the code runs and provides the desired result, there are many, many people who will simply ship it. This is the bed we made for ourselves.

90%+ is a stretch. Anecdotally I have cleaned up a vibe coded PR and removed at least half of the code. The thing with the LLM is that often they will make some decision up front that has downstream ramifications for how the entire project&

Not a great analogy. This editor is really fast. Speed is important, to a point. But having more of it isn't going to hurt anything. It is super fun to write fast code though.

Who cares? It’s fun. Programming can be fun.

The difference with this project is the data from Rubin itself isn’t where most of the scientific value comes from. It’s from follow up observations. Coordinating multiple observatories all with varying degrees of programmatic access in ord

It's not about the size of the data in bytes, it's also the amount of changes that need to be detected and alerts that need to be sent out (estimated at millions a night). Keep in mind the downstream consumers of this data are mos

The amount of data this thing will be putting out every night is insane. For years now the community has been building the infrastructure to be able to efficiently consume it for useful science, but we still have work to do. Anyone interest

Also microlensing events, supernovae, and many other things in our very dynamic universe.

It wasn't the correct answer.

Neither the developers of Hypr nor the users care about having a good "product website" calling a window manager a product in the first place is already weird and just kinda shows you aren't the target audience. Not everythin

This is the only DE/WM I have ever heard of having "premium" features. I don't have a problem with the developers trying to bring in some funding but this is bizarre. I predict there is around a 0% chance that someone wo

I've been pretty aware of this ever since I became a cyclist. I will ride down to the corner store to pick up a six pack and some chips, throw them in a backpack and ride back. It's easy. I see people driving their cars to do the

This is a cool visualization, thanks.
