Why do some of the listings say “Swipe works”? Why are they listed in the first place?

While the article is chock full of technical details, your comment is lacking. The idea seems interesting, but what's missing is details like cross-compilation performance characteristics compared to native, challenges faced, handling xcode upgrades, taking your project for a spin against popular projects on GitHub that use MacOS runners, etc. Saying "here's some vibe-slop so Linux is good enough" just doesn't cut it.

LLM subscriptions are heavily subsidized. I’d be surprised if Claude 20x costed the same after a decade.

This post is quite disingenuous. Both the title and body talk about it being free, but the actual readme on the repo says:

> […] default CPU limit on Workers is too small for it. wrangler.jsonc raises it, and raising it needs the paid plan, which is a few dollars a month. I haven't tried the free plan.

It’s not a criticism. The creators of these projects have most likely shopped around and used existing projects before deciding to build their own. I’m as interested in the “why” they built something as much as the project itself. Unfortunately, with LLMs, it looks like writing and communication skills have taken a hit.

LLMs are good at reading READMEs. They are absolutely horrendous at writing them.

This makes absolutely no sense. The API returns the exact content of the message, and has no idea where it possibly might be displayed. It could be another browser, so html tags will need to be sanitized, but it might as well be the terminal, so ansi escape codes will need to be sanitized instead.

Mildly disappointed that this has nothing to do with Unreal Engine, the popular game engine.

> it sounds like its an optional mode you have to enable

It’s opt-in because your photo is sent to Apple’s servers. Only if it were on-device should they even consider making it default.

> i guess you need internet to take a picture

Not really, internet is required to process the reference image, but that can happen later if you’re not currently connected.

> are complex hardware attacks really that important?

No, but the floor shouldn’t be “trivially exploitable” like C2PA[0]. It’d be interesting if there were a middle ground but we don’t have anything like that as of now.

Well written post, really enjoyed reading it.

> A single Go process exclusively accesses that database, and serves the control plane for those tailnets. This single-writer design is exactly how SQLite is meant to be used.

This line led me to believe that the writer and checkpointing logic lived on the same database connection, so I was curious to find out how the data race occurred. However, the bug details on the SQLite page[0] outline that it can only ever occur if there are multiple connections open, so the writer and the checkpointer must have been on different threads.

The author has a point, but at the same time is overly complicating things. Seeing that it is already available via cargo, all that is left to do is offer a .tar.gz bundle as well. In the case that the software actually becomes popular, someone else will package it for the distros in question.

> It may be that the 662 MB used by the "Renderer" is shared between many Windows components

From the screenshot in the article, this is the memory usage of the Renderer process spawned by the Weather App. I find it very unlikely that some other app (say, the Copilot app) can then piggyback on Weather Renderer process. Do you have a source for this?

> killing that Weather app may not reclaim as much space

Closing the weather app on my PC does in fact kill all child processes and frees up around 1GB of committed RAM. Are you not seeing the same?

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 page.

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 faster, so no one is really ready to spend time on manual review and writing tests when LLMs can do that as well and take you most of the way.

How does this compare with solutions that currently exist to solve this problem, say for example ngrok?

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 to hide". As for explaining it to border guard - it's just Android - if you're unlocking your phone for them anyway, they definitely shouldn't care about what flavor of Android you're running, whether it's LineageOS, ColorOS, GrapheneOS, etc.

Of course, there might be more nuance to your situation than I am privy to, but almost everyone travels, and I'd heavily hope that being stopped at the border isn't the reason keeping them away from Graphene.

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 around:

- At times, the search bar text disappears and the "refresh page" icon is left aligned (instead of right aligned).

- When a link has an associated app that can open it, Orion opens a modal that asks whether you'd like to open it in-app or continue on the browser. However, sometimes it immediately opens the app and shows the modal once you navigate back.

- When using a custom search engine, you can no longer use the search bar to edit your query and it just shows the url.

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 such a device at home.

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 machine/frame pretty high as well. However, once they saw how the steam deck was selling like hot cakes even after a $300 bump, they're deciding to go for it anyway.

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 that's the problem. It's just average.

Although not disclosed on this page, the author's name is mentioned on their other projects[0].

> Our founder, Todd Bruss, is currently battling Cancer. Through it all, he continues to pour his heart into InkPen. Your support and encouragement mean the world.

The author has posted about their project on LinkedIn as well[1].

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 of the box experience. You'll find this sentiment echoed in comments on any of the 3d printing subreddits as well.

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 issues (which is usually not fixed due to the fix not being simple or compatible with the current architecture). There's usually a good amount of conversation between users offering workarounds (and those workarounds updated for newer versions) - till stale bot locks the issue.

Working on an alt-tab window switcher for wayland compositors! Currently only supports Hyprland but working on adding support for others as well.
