I guess Deepseek V4 is too now that it's out of preview.

The comment I replied to didn't mention anything about being close to frontier, just a blanket statement about Chinese Labs models being slow and inefficient. People talk about fro…

> the Chinese models really are slow and token-inefficient This totally depends on the model. Deepseek V4 is very fast and efficient.

A wrapper class if you want, a wrapper type with methods / dedicated functions. Still, seems pretty ergonomic to me. Yeah we went from one line to three, but the three lines guaran…

Yeah since my whole point is about the technical merits of the rewrite article, I don't count that as justification. Why is just a wrapper type "less ergonomic"? Everybody does tha…

Not about the things that matter. If you write a blog post about "I switched from X to Y", I expect the WHY: the pros and cons of X, of Y, and of the alternatives that were conside…

I don't think Zig community is triggered, I think only Zig's creator is triggered because he is afraid of people interpreting this as "Zig is unsuitable for X". I think a lot of pe…

I could point to the same examples this article refers to: the Bun blog post says "Having a rigid style guide [in Zig] with clear ownership expectations explicitly spelled out in t…

Thank you. I was left confused after people praised the Bun to Rust blog post eventhough it contained very actual technical substance. No clear evaluation of options, very biased r…

Where have I claimed that it isn't worse, or that it is the same?

It's far from the top shelf, and even then I can totally still compare. I would say the very concept of privacy (at least when it comes to digital presence) does not exist in China…

The fact that (for now) there are no consequences has no connection to the original point about privacy. The fact that China acts punitively with the data they gather on their citi…

Counter-example to this would be 3rd-party app stores on iOS, which are only enabled in the EU, Japan and more recently in Brazil (maybe I'm missing some). Legislation in one marke…

Thank you. It doesn't make sense to me how much people trust our companies so much more than Chinese ones for no reason. This country has an abysmal track record when it comes to r…

Exactly this. Today I can get a physical copy at release date for ~10 EUR cheaper than on the Playstation Store, then resell it for 3/4 of the price, or lend it to a friend easily.…

Got my Steam Deck for a little above 300 a few years ago. Still use it, sad to see how much the price has gone up.

And I'm assuming you're not going to pay for them to have that someone on-call, even though you're worried about this scenario

You could assume that if someone has the technical level to identify a vulnerability and how to exploit it, they probably have the technical level to fix it. In most cases research…

FFMPEG has consistently expressed their frustration with the fact that there is a large number of people willing and eager to publish vulnerabilities found in the project, but a co…

Why would it be ideological? There was an AI involved, sure, but your comment ignores the continued disrespect for these volunteers time AND RESOURCES/MONEY (because as the post me…

Louis Rossmann's consumer rights wiki has an article about this issue [1]. The TLDR is that support officially ended in 2023, but Microsoft's notice back then assured that the app …

Of course, but I'm replying to a comment that speaks like surveillance doesn't exist in the EU because there is not a European NSA, so I'm talking specifically about the EU surveil…

Generalization. "You guys" who? Most people actually know DMA has nothing to do with privacy. There are ways to hand off PID-stripped data to a 3rd-party.
