This thread made me curious about remarkable, what would you say is a good summary or entry point to the whole remarkable hacking scene?

Following the handwritten comments brought me there, which I found to be HN-worthy: https://mzucker.github.io/2016/09/20/noteshrink.html Also, as a sign of our times, it hyperlinks…

Matrix attitude towards IRC (and bridge implementation) always felt like a trojan horse. Yes, it brought undeniable quality of life improvements over IRC for those who took the bai…

I would also challenge OP on the relevance of E2EE for very large MUCs: beyond a certain point, the room can't reasonably be considered private. With current (Signal-style, also fo…

and to add to that, XMPP has extremely simple and familiar "WhatsApp"-like clients, so there's really not much of a barrier to entry. Especially if you join by a user sending you a…

Core matrix is still an insanely complex and clunky protocol that's still struggling to stabilize and scale after more than a decade. That's not on spaces , threads or video-chats …

Doesn't XMPP check all those, and more? I run my local _ejabberd_ for a decade and some, and I'm joined to a couple 100+-users rooms. On my phone, I have a whatsapp-like experience…

Because the tools are somewhat comparable, you seem to have been tricked into conflating "protectionism" (which has some stabilising virtues, especially in the area of agriculture,…

I'm more than aware that my comment won't move the needle on the AI debate a slight bit, but I do think that the readership deserves some honesty and transparency there. No, not a …

Is the last release on GitHub from 2022 or is it me?

I think I'm like you in the sense that I'm a law abiding citizen in what I consider a high trust society. That said, I'm not naive to the fact that "having nothing to hide hence no…

Let them start somewhere. Inequality has only accelerated in the past decades, undoing the fabric of the fair and democratic society which many/most people perceive as a condition …

But then can't the case be made that narrower and stricter-defined use cases are better served by more conventional ML? If/Wherever efficiency is a concern, that is.

You mean, communism? (/s but you never know especially these days)

Or now that python has ~types, this is really an area where things could be improved. Filtering would just be lambda predicate with fields auto complete as seen in .NET, scala, etc…

Amazing resource, indeed, Good job there!

I would really love to try MD: besides the "tactileness" of it, the storage limits imposes to actively curate playlists and make compromises on how much/what music you can carry wi…

The tactile experience is a nice throwback in a touchscreen mostly/no physical buttons present, but the display is garbage by modern standards, finding specific tracks sucks, and d…

For what's worth, I only really started using passkeys after committing to bitwarden/vaultwarden as my password manager. I've been skeptical of Google's/Apple's/Microsoft's passkey…

Would you still adore it as much today, though? I know I don't adore my iPod classic as much now as I did in 2006, and that's inclusive of the nostalgia kick. It's just not very pr…

Out of curiosity, have you had a short at https://mill-build.org/mill/comparisons/gradle.html ?

Anthropomorphizing big matrices is how those "labs" managed to sell and advertise LLMs for more than what they are, and convince investors to shovel trillions into it. Really Claud…
