I'd say if one has any interest in writing objectively about space technology, one will likely end up being perceived as having a "pro-Musk bias". Elon himself is indeed questionable, but you really can't argue with his

I do wish they'd release some open model weights though. Their attitude against open weight models in general is what's keeping me from subscribing.

Why should gambling be the exception? One could argue other app-based vices are just as bad, if not worse.

Device based attestation seems like the way to go largely; it doesn't solve the problem, but it's good enough that it would cover most cases.

This is such an entirely predictable outcome that people were warning about ever since the Patriot Act days and the creation of DHS. Unfortunate, but the inevitable consequence of granting the kinds of powers that DHS was given.

Really slow FPS for me (macOS, Firefox). Not really getting past 1fps...

Should be an interesting test of camera performance!

On the plus side, the actually good mobile Anki client, AnkiDroid, remains out of the hands of this potentially questionable new entity. (AnkiDroid has always been run independently, which is good, considering the state of the iOS client,

That comment was in response to an article; I feel like they may have a different view about a 40+ minute YouTube video.

I always felt like Prolog's ability to execute programs was entirely accidental. To me, it feels like a data description language that someone discovered could be tricked into performing computation.

I get OP's point though -- yes, all smartphones do tend to end up as e-waste in the end, but would you buy a smartphone if it couldn't ever be charged? If, every time you powered on the phone, you knew you were draining from its

It shows them just fine -- the issue is that on iOS, only Apple Watches are permitted to perform notification "actions" (e.g., replying to a message, etc). Recently, EU pressure might mean that Apple will open that ability up to n

This 100% -- the AI features already in Firefox, for the most part, rely on local models. (Right now there is translation and tab-grouping, IIRC.) Local based AI features are great and I wish they were used more often, instead of just offlo

I still can’t believe they switched to Calibri at all; the only people who should be using Calibri are people who don’t realize that Microsoft Word lets you pick other fonts. I do wish they’d gone for a classier serif though; Garamond was

Wow, uh, it’s kind of astounding how poorly Eric is reading the room there. A weird disposable(!) voice recorder ring seems to go against pretty much all of the “open and repairable” image that the Pebble brand has been cultivating. This pr

The AI integration in question, from the Calibre changelog: - Allow asking AI questions about any book in your calibre library. - Right click the "View" button and choose "Discuss selected book(s) with AI" - AI: Allow as

Having also lurked in their Discord, I think your analysis is pretty much spot-on!

Agreed -- if someone outright accuses you of lying and stealing, posting evidence against those allegations seems completely reasonable to me.

Both of those comments seem to just boil down to "Core probably could be more proactive about comms" , which hardly seems like a particularly egregious sin.

by infotainment 10mo ago
It seems like Rebble (the board) really overplayed their hand. From what they posted, it seems like they wanted more control over what Core was doing, deciding that the best way to do that was to try and hold the app store data hostage. N

Definitely agree that this is the best outcome for everyone! In particular, with multiple repo support, I'm hoping this can open the door for some kind of "F-Droid for Pebble" with automated builds from source repos. So many

I think the real issue is simply that the definition of ASD has been expanded to the point of near-meaninglessness. If we're applying the same label to: 1. Someone who is totally nonverbal and effectively unable to function in society

Agreed -- While I admire their work in keeping the lights on, Rebble doesn't necessarily make sense in a world where the "real" Pebble company has returned. Keep in mind that this is their goal statement (straight from their

I'm still disappointed that they got rid of Direct File, such a promising start...

Solid article! One other change in Snow Leopard that the article doesn't mention: it replaced the classic Exposé with a boring grid-based version on that looked like a cheap knockoff. Thankfully, the next release (Lion) brought back th

The last mile problem is only a problem because of poor layout. Build homes and work near transit nodes (instead of in the middle of nowhere) and there isn't a problem in the first place. > Problems like traffic waves and gridlock

Agreed, and I feel like the right answer might be to treat it exactly like cigarettes. For example: 1. Ban in most places except very specific ones. E.g., "would you like to sit in the social media use section today?" 2. Make it

I just wish Unihertz wasn't so questionable! Can't a decent company make a small phone? (And actually update the software on it? And comply with the GPL?)

Agreed -- this requirement feels less like an actually useful requirement and more a silly and performative one, which is trying to make some kind of commentary on AI use as a whole.
