steeve··on Injured Gaza baby photo proven to be AI-generated
Because the news is that one of them was AI generated. It is to highlight fake news and disinfo on social media.

The news is not that all of them are or that Palestinians are not suffering.

Be better.

steeve··on Swift was not given the chance to prove itself as a language
I just got it on an infix expression with 5 elements and 2 casts (center an image in a rectangle type of thing, height/2 blahblah).

Unfrequent is not how I would describe it.

steeve··on Swift was not given the chance to prove itself as a language
All I’ll say is: “Expression too complex to be evaluated in reasonable time”

Those who know, know.

steeve··on French far-right leader seeks to take advantage of AI debate
The idiot you talk about (but cowardly fail to respond to) is me. It’s not my fault you don’t know how to use Wikipedia.

Look up Pierre Bousquet and Leon Gaultier before making a fool of yourself.

steeve··on French far-right leader seeks to take advantage of AI debate
He isn’t.
steeve··on French far-right leader seeks to take advantage of AI debate
Then you didn’t really look into it.
steeve··on French far-right leader seeks to take advantage of AI debate
Look up Pierre Bousquet et Leon Gaultier. Go on?
steeve··on French far-right leader seeks to take advantage of AI debate
Oh no, not Rassemblement National, a party literally founded by ex Nazis.
steeve··on Musk attacked German support for migrants and promoted call to support far-right
What does he know exactly of the situation and the forces that create them? His takes are always so simplistic it hurts.
steeve··on How to convert an enum to string in C++
Funny thing is, I am learning Zig at the moment and had to do just that and was impressed at how clean the solution was:

    const my_enum = enum {
        one,
        two,
        three,

        pub fn str(self: @This()) []const u8 {
            return switch (self) {
                inline else => |tag| @tagName(tag),
            };
        }
    }
Inline else means the switch/case is expanded at compile time.
steeve··on Instead of collaborating or supporting me, Google stole my idea
That was a lot darker than I thought it would be. Google should absolutely respond.

As for Oz, what an incredible story.

steeve··on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
We can thank the EU for that
steeve··on SmartKnob – Haptic input knob with software-defined endstops and virtual detents
I'd love to build a thermostat out of that. That seems like the perfect use case.
steeve··on Sucking carbon dioxide out of the sky is moving from science fiction to reality
This. Once one runs the numbers, everything is much less sexy. There’s a reason IPCC explains what it explains.
steeve··on Sucking carbon dioxide out of the sky is moving from science fiction to reality
Because of “night”
steeve··on Tesla (TSLA) tumbles on price cuts, “appreciating asset” dream going away
That's how it was advertised in 2019 by Musk when turned into a robotaxi [1]

steeve··on Plan for 55,000-acre utopia dreamed by Silicon Valley elites unveiled
But I thought Europe was only producing “vapidity” ? /s

EDIT: look it up on Twitter

steeve··on Compiling Rust for .NET, using only tea and stubbornness
I'd wager that would use P/Invoke, which is what OP is trying to avoid (having true .NET IL would make everything seamless).
steeve··on Uncle Sam accuses SpaceX of not considering asylees and refugees for employment
On the other end of the spectrum of that argument: “we hire white people only”

I’m sure you can see this can become a problem.

EDIT: why the downvote? You are either for total freedom (including that one) or against (so then you need to draw a line). What’s it gonna be?

steeve··on Uncle Sam accuses SpaceX of not considering asylees and refugees for employment
Why do you assume it’s the only one targeted?
steeve··on Adding water to Martian soil samples might have been a bad idea
Clickbait title fooled me.
steeve··on VirGL – A virtual 3D GPU for use inside QEMU virtual machines
There is swiftshader for that, it works very well
steeve··on Iterators in Go: A proposed extension
Why do you have less faith in rsc? Asking because I feel the opposite.
steeve··on TSMC, Bosch, Infineon, NXP to jointly build semiconductor fab in Europe
I wonder why they chose the country with the second worst electricity CO2 wise?

Unless it’s for cars?

steeve··on I went to 50 different dentists: almost all gave a different diagnosis (1997)
Exactly my own experience with a Guillain Barré syndrome.

Went full engineer and finally met the right people.

Medicine is a marvel, but it’s a opportunity cost. You meet with people who have 10 minutes to pattern match you, which works for probably close to all the cases they see, until it doesn’t, and it’s you.

steeve··on Which vector database should I use? A comparison cheatsheet
On OP's page, Milvus is a lot faster than Qdrant, the complete opposite of Qdrant's benchmark. What gives?

steeve··on Paris to bring back swimming in Seine after 100 years
For the poor soul that had to read this, these are typical places people would answer. I literally walk through Gare du Nord every week at midnight and never even had a bad look. Sure, drug addicts and black market smokes, your typical poor area.

You are actually more likely to get mugged on the Champs Elysées or the 16th.

steeve··on Show HN: Chie – a cross-platform, native, and extensible desktop client for LLMs
I advise you not to look up what it means in french.
steeve··on Paris to bring back swimming in Seine after 100 years
I am Parisian. Please enlighten me where those places are so I don't go. /s
