Same happened with Komoot, a popular German outdoors app. They have millions of tracks and user profiles, it's also a bit of a social network. From one day to the next they sold to the Italian "developer company" Bending Spoo

Radxa has been notoriously bad at supporting their hardware from the software side. Their hardware is great, but they launch a product and then won't offer a proper distribution for it, hoping that some developers will take care of thi

Surprising to see that you don't know who made this page. When I saw it I wanted to know who was behind this, so I found "© 2025 Lightricks. All rights reserved." at the end of the page, where Google led me to lightricks.com.

This is so fast it took me by surprise. I'm used to wait for ages until the response is finished on Gemini and ChatGPT, but this is instantaneous.

How does this work? Do they just listen and never transmit, unless they receive a targeted emergency message?

I just thought about this 10 minutes ago, when I saw the top post "Mycoria is an open and secure overlay network that connects all participants". The actual title of the page is "Mycoria". I actually wanted to thank the

I have my issues with the code Gemini Pro in AI Studio generates without customized "System Instructions". It turns a well readable code-snippet of 5 lines into a 30 line snippet full of comments and mostly unnecessary error handl

Maybe we should settle on some special sound or word which officially signals that we're making a pause for whatever reason, but that we intend to continue with dictating in a couple of seconds. Like "Hmm, wait".

I can't agree with this. I like it that I can have all these tools which work with files and are tools which are not db-oriented, and the fact that there are different filesystems for different scenarios, that I can sandwich LVM betwee

I write my emails to people like the HoA myself, but always feed it into an LLM to make sure the point comes across. There are always so many corrections suggested, that I'd end up writing a precise mail, but one which I'd never h

I uploaded a Python script I wrote last week (system backup script, changed extension to .py.txt) and the Podcast it created was pretty suitable to give none-tech people who might be asking what you've been doing an idea about it.

I was expecting something like the cells being used as registers and the computer being implemented in the spreadsheet itself. Loading an emulator via a DLL and using the spreadsheet as a line oriented display feels like cheating.

System prompts/instructions should be published, be part of the ToS or some document that can be updated more easily, but still be legally binding.

Halfway intelligent people would expect an answer that includes something along the lines of: "Regarding the meds, you should seriously talk with your doctor about this, because of the risks it might carry."

Absolutely stunning. I wonder if or when AI will be capable to use these images (and also the lower-res ones from NOAA/NWS [0]) to build a digital clone of the sun. Is this possible? [0] https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/

"Model welfare" is clickbait. The core of the message is about if models can be conscious. The video is worth watching. Maybe embedding it in an article so strongly focused on the welfare topic is a mistake, but then: why not, if
