    Flora Incognita and PlantNet are not open source, so they cannot be published to F-Droid. However, iNaturalist is and the apk can be directly installed from the GitHub releases pag…

    No. I’ve heard this argument multiple times before - “let the human review and write tests” - and sure it might work, but this is almost never practiced. AI makes coding a lot fast…

    Basically all of Graphene's RCS issues have been fixed[0]. Additionally, your stance seems somewhat unusual - GrapheneOS isn't only meant to be used by people that have "something …

    I still use it because I like how easy it is to use extensions on iOS but definitely agree that there are a lot of UI bugs. Listing the most prominent ones just in case the dev is …

    Have to agree. Unsure why the page is comparing with docker/cloud shell instead of jslinux/webvm.

    Eh, millions of households have a smart speaker that's constantly recording and I doubt that the majority of people that use one have truly internalized the ramifications of having…

    If I were to hazard a guess, Valve was apprehensive about releasing the steam machine/frame this year because the high memory prices would mean that they'd have to price the steam …

    You've advertised twice on this thread about your site, but I personally find the UX to be worse, not to mention the phantom scroll issues and (imo) the tasteless animations.

    Parent is simply pointing out the incorrect usage of "empirically", which should typically only be mentioned when you've tested it yourself.

    Because he's paid to deliver code that works. Letting an AI agent do everything would be fine if it didn't make any mistakes, but that's far from reality.

    > if you edit those [LLM tropes] out, or ignore them, you can’t really argue that the writing produced by these models is objectively ‘bad’ any more. Well, it isn't good either and…

    This was true a few years back, but in recent times Creality has fallen victim to quality control issues, a huge number of printer variants and generally having a not so great out …

    Thanks for the update. The usage of an affiliate link feels quite dishonest here because the hyperlink says bunny.net but then opens up bunny.net/?ref=xxxx

    What trust model? Is there anyway to verify that an app from the app store is the same as the one the developer uploaded?

    IMO closing issues via stale bot is fine, the problem is locking issues so that no further conversation is allowed on the issue. Multiple times, I've encountered multi-year old iss…

    This is a pretty cool project and I think the comments here are being overly negative. Sure, removing the constraints that the eBPF verifier requires might encourage more complex a…

    Here's the problem: your reply is factually correct, but it doesn't address the GP's overarching complaint - the start menu is simply not performant. And since the code powering th…
