Gemini 2.5 Pro feels heavily lobotomized for me lately, failing at very simple tasks with a frequency far above what I was used to seeing back when it first released. The personality seems to be getting worse too - I'm getting very tir

Thanks! Will it be paid or open source?

I don't understand. Can I use distributed Polars with my own machines or do I have to buy cloud compute to run distributed queries (I don't want that). If not, is this planned?

I fail to see why. You can have an event loop per thread, and a hypothetical requirement of wanting to make sure all compute in each thread is spent inside of its event loop (assuming OS level parallelism). Eg a latency-sensitive server in

Isn't VLC an option for playing local files and available in the App store? You could sync the folder with iCloud.

No, you're just moving the goalpost (and you're pretty bad at it too)

And what's the use if you don't know they're not compiling against a backdoored version under the hood?

>as I run macOS How is the FDE story on macOS? Isn't it closed source - how can you tolerate that as a cryptographer? (Not saying Linux is perfect, cryptsetup doesn't have a secure AEAD mode)

We need a licence that forbids use in ML and the people willing to sue github for it ASAP.

Given the amount of time people spent trying to implement something interesting in Malbolge (unshackled), I would also be very interested in a detailed explanation, perhaps a blog post, of how you achieved this. Otherwise I am inclined to b

Drawn with a graphics tablet, yeah. I find the drawing UX of Okular very lacking - if this application could have a simple, clean annotations interface that produces clean lines with a tablet, this would be huge for me.

>Non-collateralized stablecoins read: "ponzi scheme". This is pretty funny.

Same story as with Article 17 back then. Remember how the deputies in the EU parliament claimed they "accidentally pressed the wrong button"? The part about pushing this through under the radar is particularly frustrating. At leas

What is the advantage of your assume macro over regular C11 static_assert / assert? Apologies if it is immediately obvious. And in case anyone else is wondering, the advantage of that m_max macro is that it evaluates each of its argume

I wish the WG14 would publish the TeX sources for the latest working draft. None of the pdf-to-html generators work well, and as a result the most up to date version you can conveniently view in your browser is C99.

No such thing - To the kind of people you just replied to, a cultural identity and homogenous, well educated society means nothing.

>in Germany and Switzerland they are desperate for good engineers This is absolutely not true. I don't know why anyone would lie so blatantly. Engineering and CS graduates are present in abundance, and the job market is brutal.

I've never seen this article before, but it does not read like a polemic. Do you know of a rebuttal of the points mentioned?

The musl mailing list is very active, and communication with the maintainers is generally effortless. It would be interesting to see how this plays out. They are also in the process of rewriting their malloc implementation. Thank you for yo

I am also a healthy man in my mid thirties, and like you, got infected and quickly recovered. That a was a month ago. It would be good to know if the organ damage detailed in the article also affects those that recover without significant s
