I use YNAB4 to this day and the cross-device sync still works

> In it, I learned that there's some interesting quirks about the way the traditional shaXsum tools work, specifically that they focus on a set of inputs from the shell command lin…

The exact same argument could be made in Moonshot's favor. Being a bit tongue in cheek, one could also argue that by releasing their models, Moonshot is contributing much more valu…

I'm not sure I understand how that that would make a material difference. The company might not know who submitted each sample, but the company would still have their entire genome…

That's a kit for sample collection. You would then ship off your sample to the company in question, and they would do the actual sequencing, and then send the DNA data and genetic …

> Most genomic studies begin by asking participants to upload one of the most identifying and irrevocable pieces of data they own, their DNA. I'm curious what the author means by "…

I doubt that my list would be of much use to you, since a lot of the sites relate to specific hobbies. However, as eloisius mentioned, you can view the most commonly blocked sites.…

Yeah, it's become quite noticeable. The amount of clearly LLM generated sites that I've blocked just keeps going up and up. The only advantage Kagi has in that regard is that block…

It probably depends on your country, and what you are looking for exactly, but it works fine for my needs

The rejection of Opus Magnum got a lot of attention at the time, which probably caused GOG to reconsider. But most developers don't get that kind of attention, if a game of theirs …

Well, it has happened before: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/confusion-surrounds-gogs-rejec...

My understanding is that GOG is not necessarily undesirable, but they are very selective: Unlike Steam or Itch, you have to convince them that it's worth their while to sell your g…

Yes, it's unfortunate that the Lancet is not an Open Access journal. But, as you say, you can just purchase the paper if you wish to read it

The first link in the article goes straight to the study: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

From what I recall, based on what a Godot developer wrote at the time, nobody got banned from GitHub for "a reasonable objection". The only people who got banned from GitHub were t…

The fork also had its own drama, resulting in one of the more active developers of the fork, plus the guy who helped kick off the original drama, splitting off to create yet anothe…

Regardless of the LLM policy, I'd be hesitant to apply an optimization the impact of which can't be measured according to the author: > If you can provide some metrics that illustr…

Based on their tracking issue, Ruff is missing 156 out of 397 Pylint checks: https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/970 Though some of them will presumably be covered by Ty

Half-Life 2, released back in 2004, required an Internet connection to play. It was a major point of contention, in part due to how unreliable Steam was at the time

I honestly don’t see how the two compare. I’m merely asking for a response to a query that I sent myself. What you describe is more like SPAM: Unsolicited bulk rejections to applic…

An automated message would be perfectly fine, since it would still allow me to cross off that application. The people behind the message are of little import. We are unlikely to ha…

> Every employer would send "We have decided not to continue with your application". That would still be a big improvement over just getting ghosted
