It's a lot easier to trust reviews on a platform that doesn't allow solicited reviews, than one where that is standard practice.

BingChat already takes voice input and gives voice replies, but still requires the push of a button in the UI to start, it still can't run as a voice assistant in the background.

The point is that nobody had to program this. Nobody had think up front "Will the user need a color picker?". Nobody had to find a spot in the UI to place it. You can just will it into existing as a user with nothing but the power

This feels like a discussion that is already out of date. Very early versions Copilot would reproduce Open Source code verbatim and that wasn't great, but in all the months of playing around with ChatGPT that never happened to me once.

The AGPL only covers a very tiny bit of it, i.e. the access to the source code of Web services. The crux however is that access to the source code is largely meaningless when you aren't the one running the program. The problems we have

In theory I'd agree, but in practice people criticizing RMS were just hopping on the latest witchhunt train, all in the name of "inclusivity", which is just extremely hypocritical when people outside the norm are exactly the

It has to have some degree of autonomy to be useful. The current approach with ChatGPT to just have all the knowledge in the world directly in the base model not only doesn't scale, it would also run into issues with copyright if it co

The core issue that you can't escape is that Scheme creates a lot of ambiguity between data and code, since both use the same syntax. There is nothing wrong with using plain s-expressions for data, quite the opposite, I find them quite

The difference is that name/value pairs have a dedicated syntax in JSON and Nix, in Scheme everything is (), doesn't matter if it's a function call, list, assignment, macro or whatever. Makes it very hard to understand what i

From what I understand, channels can be used to extend Guix, but don't quite work like Flakes, more like the old Nix channels. The thing that makes Flakes special is that they allow you to treat Git repositories like software packages.

Opposite for me. Nix syntax is much more pleasant to use and while Nix error messages are by no means perfect, still more fun than digging through multiple layers of Scheme. Does Guix have anything similar to Nix flakes yet?
