Do people not know how to write blogs without AI anymore? I enjoy hearing a human's unique voice and miss hearing it when it's abscent.

Why yes, in fact I am. One of the major reasons [1] I switched to GrapheneOS. [1] https://blog.okturtles.org/2024/06/the-ultimate-ios-to-graph...

Yeah this is a battle and it's why governments decide to spend resources on this. Protectionism won't help America, American needs to compete. There's a general consensus that open…

I like people who push back in this way :D Certainly, if you want to be even more involved in writing the code, more power to ya!

FWIW I appreciate people like the author's old self. I am one of those who hates and simultaneously appreciates being corrected when I'm mistaken. I hate being mistaken and I appre…

This is really cool. I love it. What'd be really funny would be for someone to use this to implement an app that's a terminal. XD

Indeed, it performed worse than Qwen3.6-27b in my basic test. It gave a fancier looking answer, but did a worse job following the prompt.

Very cool! There seems to be a bug here: https://hackernewstrends.com/?q=vim&q=emacs&q=zed For some reason the results cut off at 2018-10 even though "Popular Comparisons" preview …

Note that these are Python-only results, the model will not do as well with other languages. I'm glad to see more domain-focused SLMs, we need more of them! A programming focused M…

I'm kinda glad that it's VW blocking GrapheneOS users in a cynical way. When my parents got a VW Jetta they never stopped complaining about it and never bought one again. So it tra…

I'm at a loss here tbh because that sentiment is what the article is about. But yes I did edit the comment to make it less personal and more about the sentiment that has led to the…

They are not just asking for more money, from TFA they are imposting additional requirements like better Japanese fluency etc. In general they are raising the bar for who is allowe…

VPNs do not allow you to connect two devices directly, they have to go through the VPN. They also do not allow you to connect devices that are not on the VPN. Iroh does P2P connect…

I applaud the Japanese for being capable of recognizing that many parts of their culture are unique and worth preserving. That what makes Japan Japan is not just the land and the n…

Another headline about the Digital ID prison system they're building to identify and restrict all access to the Internet for people of all ages. Then perhaps comes the mark which i…

Where does Anthropic or OpenAI winning leave us? Dependents of an AI-megacorp for our "facts"? Our software? Our work? It's possible these companies will become everyone's boss, an…
