I assume this post was victim of HN title mangling? The post also covers when you should use LGPL for your next library, contradicting the HN title but not the original title.

4-10 all seem to just be special cases of 0-3. I guess making them explicit can be nice, but it seems overly complex to me.

When it said it could be used anywhere C++ could be used, I was expecting something closer to Carp[0] or PreScheme[1] which have no runtime garbage collector. This lets you use these in contexts where runtime GC is not acceptable, like real

Zig exposes a Vector type to use for SIMD instructions, which has been my first introduction to SIMD directly. Reading through this thread I was immediately mapping what people were saying to Vector operations in Zig. It seems to me like SI

> [it] can be used anywhere C++ and Lua are used. This is confusing, but maybe just poor paraphrasing. It should really just say that it can be used anywhere that Lua is used. The rest of the article describes Jank as "garbage colle

Brain surgery is invasive, but the power that the surgeon exercises over the patient is bound to the context of the surgery. Side effects may linger, but the surgeon cannot increase or alter the side effects after the surgery. With Neuralin

It's insanity that a company literally developing mind control and mind reading (or as they sanitize it: bidirectional brain-computer interface) hasn't been shut down yet, but here we are.

What do you mean "fully owned"? There is no mention of that in the post Edit: I guess you mean the content itself is still on your machine if the services go away, and you can choose to host them elsewhere

The key part to me is the "before they could read". I think the history of computing is probably far more interesting when you have more context as to where that history got us.

Can you elaborate on what you enjoyed about the Windows Phone? I've heard people say they liked it, but I've never really dug into why before.

It's so interesting to me that people are still genuinely calling language models a "scam" in $current_year. I get useful inference out of a model running on a rack in my living room. Where is the scam?

Depends on if I have to use it or not. If I could just have it, I would take it if they paid me $500 or so. If I had to use it regularly, they would definitely have to pay me at least $2k.
