The movement of the "bat" is tied to the physical limitations of the arm and the positioning of the body. Something that can't be deduced or even perceived clearly from the movements of this robot.

As I mentioned in a previous comment, it would be important to know how many weeks of preparation and training against this sort of robot the player had before the match.

Exactly. There are cues that an opponent provides when approaching a ball that help the player prepare for and limit the range of possible responses (this happens with most racket games). With these robots, the players only find out after the ball is already coming in their direction.

I wonder how much practice these players had against the machine in the weeks leading up to the actual game. That would be significant to ensure they are playing at their pro level.

Nice. I wonder how hard it would be to take the open-source code of the project and adapt it to other countries.

As I mentioned previously, the writing is on the wall. It is a matter of time.

We definitely need a true alternative on the market, preferably open, to balance things out and to free everyone from the duopoly. The political pressure that is needed is not to “keep” Android open, but to ensure that governments and institutions don't double down on the existing duopoly. Ensure that interoperability standards are in place, and don't lock people into the existing big tech platforms/solutions.

Bingo

> If there's a healthy future for socializing on the internet, I think it will happen in small communities.

Bingo. Not a big (or even a small) user of social media. But small, focused communities are where I see it bring the most value for the user.

They are also where I've seen the most interesting initiatives since the 90s. The rest is just influential "people" broadcasting their content.

That was a close one. This is getting harder and harder. It is important not to be naive to the point of thinking this is over.

One of the other comments mentions https://codefloe.com. I haven't tested and haven't yet checked their background, but they seem to allow private repositories.

This should be applied to the whole EU.

Yes, SU was fascinating at the time. I kind of like this style of exploring the web; it gets a bit addictive, you spend hours on it but end up finding interesting content and other stuff that you wouldn't otherwise.

But the 10M that care will spend their money elsewhere. That is already something, for OpenAI and also for the other competitors these people will switch to.

> I like it how everyone says that, but there is no european cloud operator able to offer what AWS/GCP/Azure offer.

You don't need all of that. You can go a long way with the basics, and those are well covered.

Things are really getting ugly there. So sad to witness it happening in “real time.”

I started the same process some time ago. I've made different choices but with the same goal.

I'm moving slowly because this kind of migration is never easy, but I fully intend to move >90% of my stuff to European providers (and 100% of the critical parts).

I'm a bit torn about this. On one hand, I really think viable alternatives to Android/iOS are now more necessary than ever, and I'm eager to explore this OS. On the other hand, I'm not in the mood to buy new hardware (right now) just to try it out.

Nevertheless, I hope they succeed.

Ollama, Continue.dev extension for editor/IDE, and Open-WebUI. My hardware is a bit dated, so I only use this setup for some smaller open models.

On the laptop, I don't use any local models. Not powerful enough.

Exactly

Works like a charm. Powerful when needed. Thanks, KDE, looking forward to the next 29 years.

I couldn't disagree more. The problems of Google effectively controlling the “open web” take time to become evident but are starting to show.

I have no issues with them continuing to participate, but not with the level of control they have at the moment.

To be honest, still awful.

The answer is yes, I still use, but not Google nor Bing. Relying exclusively on LLMs sounds a bit dangerous and naive.

Until when, I don't know.

I'm still digesting what I've “witnessed” yesterday. I have no words for it, I'm baffled. Time to re-think…

For Django projects, I would say DjLint [1]. It doesn't cover all you asked, but makes the job of writing the templates (HTML) much more pleasant.

Exactly, this fits perfectly in the `.well-known` use cases. What a shame.

I've worked for many years with both frameworks. I have the opposite view, since I prefer the Django ecosystem and Python.

Rails has nice things, but overall, I prefer Django's approach and the language it uses.

I'm not surprised

Awesome, looking forward to testing it out. I really like that idea of being able to gradually migrate WSGI (Django) apps, or even support running both at the same time.

Some time ago, I built a similar project: https://github.com/dethos/worker-ddns

The main difference is that, for security reasons, it uses a "Cloudflare worker" to change the DNS record.

> Since Cloudflare API Token permissions aren't granular enough to limit the token access to a single DNS record, we place a worker in front of it (this way the token with extra priviledges never leaves cloudflare's servers).

It works very well, no complaints until now.

I solved it by avoiding Google products and services, whenever possible.
