I think it's mostly the ramp-up time, but ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is basically aspiring to do just this.

I made my own subagent implementation in a couple of hours using Pi itself. It aligns with my needs better than any existing plugin, none of which seems to be what I was looking for. You don't _need_ to use someone else's plugin i

Pi is perfectly usable in its "raw" state (except perhaps an extension for your specific provider, if not built in). Configuring it isn't really overwhelming: you use it for a while and then find that you'd want to exten

Yeah, adding CAs to the store sucks. On Linux it needs to be in /etc/ssl/certs (this varies slighly per distribution), which is only writable by root. A single user can't trivially trust a CA, and a great deal of applica

Personally, I use a custom local CA with name constraints so that it can only sign domains for The .internal TLD. This is the most important bit: because if the cert is ever leaked, it cannot be used to MITM connections to other domains. I

> around $165,000 at API pricing This is the bit I was really curious about. Definitely not something within reach for us mortals.

It's kinda crazy that they're releasing an improved version only in places where it's mandatory by law. You'd think it's cheaper (and definitely better PR) to just release the new version everywhere.

Dot matrix can handle regular A4 paper since the late nineties. They're noisier than ink printers, but non-industrial quality can be pretty reasonable for office-level noises. Quality certainly isn't on par with laser printers, bu

I have enormous respect for dot matrix printers. They're easy to repair and service, the tech is relatively simple, it's cheap, it's parts are cheap, its supplies are cheap. It's way more sustainable than any other print

I think iOS has lots of refinement and polish, but still lots of ugly bugs and crappy UI. The others have the same crappy UI, but with no refinement and polish at all anywhere.

Indeed, it's also great economics for them. Remember the old rule: commoditise your compliment. If you make these kind of accessories highly affordable and people can even refine on them, your product suddenly increases in value.

The other big problem is that all your processes continue running, but your disk is unmounted. I can't imagine how you'd avoid everything crashing horribly. I mean, I can imagine an implementation where the system pauses all proce

You can also run docker in rootless mode.

No mention of strlcpy (which was the safe replacement for strncpy in the stdlib about 15 years ago when I first heard of the former). Apparently strscpy handles un-terminated input strings a bit better than strlcpy, but not scanning past th

The issue isn't just the technical dependency. It's also the fact that it forces each citizen to pay a few hundred Euros to companies which then campaign against their very rights. Citizens get no support of any kind in case of is

Realistically, there's not any other company selling wireless noise-cancelling earbuds with these features _and_ including documentation for folks to use those feature outside of some locked ecosystem. E.g.: Bose, Sony, etc don't

People mention these tools each time AirDrop comes out, and they're not at all compatible. AirDrop allows two devices to find each other and establish a temporary network to exchange data. LocalSend and all similar tools require that y

It's really hard for new designs to thrive outside hobby/research usage. Linux/BSD have massive hardware support, where a new OS needs to start from scratch. The same is true of software support: a new OS that truly has new p

I think it was rushed, and it has some rough edges that are now too late to fix post-stabilisation. But it's neat to have such a runtime. One annoying thing is that it's optimised for multi-threaded runtimes, so the APIs enforce l

Maybe that's why the 512GB RAM models are gone: they opt to pull a model without further announcement rather than increase its prices.

Sourcehut _kind of_ pushes for this model. Folks publish their own repositories, and email patches to others. But you can also just email a patch to the author without a Sourcehut account, because email is descentralised. The Linux kernel a

They took the same approach for the Steam Deck, so given that this is a repeating MO, anyone wanting to abuse the system had time to prepare accounts. The payment addresses sound trickier to work around, but abusers can just invent a fake b
