The Linux kernel is essentially the nightmare scenario for a LLM. No tests, not much documentation to work with, a very high acceptability bar, multiple ways to do the smallest change and every single word on your commit messages is very im

Personally it's the software which doesn't make me buy one. The hardware really is one of the best you can buy but using the software makes me lose my hair.

I would also add on top of those points that nobody will ever get paid for mainlining old phones, these are side projects by nature, meaning, not full time. And since it's such a hard task without AI (and it's still not easy even

No that matters. As is, the emulator cannot be used to circumvent nor break any protection. Feel free to try it yourself, boot up the emulator, give it an encrypted game and see what it does. Nintendo didn't want to get in court and al

I disagree, this doesn't break anything, even the comments tell you so. This code does nothing by default. Also I may mention that the support of external keys is there for you to get games for your own switch, pirates can just share d

There's no "circumvention mesure" in there, the emulator can only read unencrypted games by default. You won't find anything in the source code, if the game is encrypted, it cannot read it.

Same for me and I don't use MacOS for the same reason some people don't use Linux, I find the UI lacking and confusing. And more importantly, MacOS (like Windows) are still poorly translated compared to your average Linux desktop

Same, I don't even see how that would work since you see the full thinking traces in Kimi but are hidden with Claude. And the Deepseek one sounds even more dubious as Deepseek is one of the cheapest model around, why relay anything to

Agree to disagree then, AOSP apps feel abandonned since roughly Android 11 and I don't think they are fit for modern use anymore

That's true, however, if you are too far from the top models, you still are in danger of not being in the race anymore. And with half the score of the top models, that's where Mistral is at. As it is now, no tech company in the EU

I don't have a final opinion on the subject, it's just the results I witnessed after a long time in the industry. The ones I've seen with Angular suffered from the same issues. I'm sure counter examples of well managed S

I'm currently working on a SaaS at my company and we have a lot of issues because of the SPA, I estimate we spend around 5% at least, maybe 10% of the workforce just on SPA complexity. It can work for some SaaS but if you stay low empl

It doesn't because AOSP itself is unusable on a modern phone. It's just a low level technical building block nowadays and everybody is chosing the parts they want. Comparing your OS to AOSP itself made sense in 2016, it doesn&#x27

You are just reinventing LineageOS here basically, patching the defects of AOSP to make it work on real phones

I don't only mean "scale" in terms of users but also scale in terms of features. So you have to guarantee that your product will stay low users and low features forever or spend a very high effort to try to partially overcome
22.
by realusername 21d ago
That's a good point but you never know that from the start, "this app won't scale well" is a hard sell for a new project in my opinion
23.
by realusername 21d ago
I've never seen an SPA which scales properly and doesn't become a bloated mess, maybe that's possible but it's definitely harder to make it work than using traditional server side template rendering

In theory you can try to do that with Treble but in practice the experience will be horrible, there's not even a functional keyboard nor a functional call manager in there. And yes all the Linux side of things is still missing.

No you can't, AOSP doesn't even include a functional keyboard not a functional call manager nowadays. And I'm not even talking about the firmware side of things Sure that might be enough for very basic hardware like your dron

Yes that's also one of the historical struggles of Google Translate, the pronouns are context based and so are the words, you need experience to know when they start and end. It's a miserable experience for translation software.

It's going to be the same as PRISM, people will be outraged and business will go back as usual. (And they totally won't do it again they swear, the contract says so)

I'm talking about it as an app distribution method from the perspective of a developer and an app distribution method you can only ask a few people on Github to perform definitely isn't a valid one to me.
