World also doesn't need two copies of maps. Please fix.
cicko··on CoMaps: The Offline App That Guided Rescuers Without a Signal in Venezuela
Please no! I like the fact that the maps are created by people who actually know something about the topic.
cicko··on Actinide is first startup to produce high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU)
No. Economic sanctions are in right now. Maybe tomorrow.
cicko··on Peppermint oil reduces blood pressure by 8.48 mmHg in small study
I'll do a n=1 study on that
cicko··on Nearly 3M Teslas recalled in China over hidden door handles
There's no need to modify the hardware UI. It worked fine for decades.
cicko··on I'm becoming AI-blind
So did chalk and blackboards.
cicko··on Unsloth Dynamic 3.0 GGUFs
You can't run models with filesystem and curl.
cicko··on US strikes $1.2B deal to pay German firm to halt offshore wind projects
There is no such thing as a free market, the way you refer to it.
cicko··on More German than many Germans
I kindly invite you to come and show me how to fix Bosnia and Herzegovina. I would love to go back and work at a decent company and have my family and friends (who are now scattered around the world) for afternoon and weekends. All it takes is a genious (like you!) to show up and fix things. Hopefully in an afternoon?
cicko··on More German than many Germans
It is because of you guys, who love rules so much, that the poor Germans get such a bad reputation. ;)

With laptop being ...?
cicko··on Flock Credibility Lost as It Repeatedly Lies to City Councils, Police, & Public
Does making millions in profit from bitcoin while being a president or getting private jets from other countries count into that?
cicko··on LM Studio Bionic: the AI agent for open models
It is, cowboy
cicko··on Japan develops a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries

cicko··on Berkshire's $397B Bet Against an Overheated Market
Who cares if "investors" are getting out of the market? They are not literally pulling money out of those companies but out of a casino that is the stock market.

One good thing in all this is, at least, if the AI stocks collapse that should not result in large-scale lay-offs. :) Quite the contrary.

cicko··on Show HN: Bramble – Local-first password manager
This deserves a bit more explanation (sorry, on the phone, can't look at the code in the next couple of days). So, if I change the password and update it on the phone, then add a web site on the desktop, when they sync, the desktop entry will overwrite the new password? Hope it's not that simple.
cicko··on GLM 5.2 beats Claude in our benchmarks
except this is way more than an engineering salary. At least in Europe.

It doesn't look like that's where the conversation was going, though.

cicko··on Israel targeted Gaza children resulting in genocide, UN inquiry says
Those Palestinians with Israeli citizenship are no longer allowed into Israel. That's my understanding after watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrmE-WiC4eA
cicko··on Israel targeted Gaza children resulting in genocide, UN inquiry says
And how do you suggest they do that?
cicko··on EV demand up 50% in France and Germany since Iran war
Mate, I too live in an apartment and have had Zoe 41kWh (Type2-only) for several years. I've been through all that, including several 900+km trips. It's not as bad as it sounds. I'll reiterate - with CCS you don't really worry about charging. Those 310km is enough for over 80% of anyone's trips. The guy who bought 9yr-old Zoe drove away 278km with 28km left when he got home. Recently I've got a Cupra Born with 77kWh and couldn't care less about the charging infrastructure anymore. It's just a regular car at this point. Charging on the street is even more practical than driving to the nearest petrol station.
cicko··on window.showDirectoryPicker opens up a whole new world
This is something you should explain to the Firefox critics.
cicko··on window.showDirectoryPicker opens up a whole new world
Too many prompts and not an official API. Back in the day, IE also had tons of "great" and novel ideas, including COM+ something something.
cicko··on GLM 5.2 vs. Opus
True. But there are other meanings of "free". I.e. nobody can say "from now on you no longer have access to model X because you're an asshole"
cicko··on DeepSeek Introduces Vision
it's a hint that you should start learning the new Lingua Franca.
cicko··on DeepSeek Introduces Vision
If you spend your life sitting in a chair, that's fine. I tend to get all kinds of ideas, questions, and research needs while I'm walking around. Typing a paragraph or two or context takes too much time and is very risky. Especially when driving. But also just walking, cooking, cleaning, etc. Sometimes it's just not practical - winter, carrying stuff... I mostly feel privileged if I can just sit at a computer and type my question and have the time to read the answer.
cicko··on EV demand up 50% in France and Germany since Iran war
That makes no sense to me. I've had an EV for five years and right now the infrastructure is fantastic in comparison. There are chargers everywhere, they're fast enough, and the prices are reasonable. The batteries are also quite large. I see absolutely no reason to buy an IC car any more. Many people have solar panels installed, making the commute practically free.
cicko··on The iPhone's Last Stand?
Mate, I was buying a kebab and the guy was convincing me that the Earth is flat, there's no Moon. And it's proven by... something with shadows. At least I got a real kebab in the end.
