There seems to be a big movement (UK specifically) from governments using age gateing as an excuse to increase surveillance and online tracking. I don't know where Roblox is based or it's policies, but it's likely they are just implementing what the government has forced them to do.

We need to push back against governments that try and restrict the freedom of the internet and educate them on better regulations. Why can sites not dictate the content they provide, then let device providers provide optional parental controls.

Governments forcing companies to upload your passport/ID, upload pictures/videos of your face, is dangerous and we are going to see a huge increase of fraud and privacy breaches, all while reducing our freedoms and rights online.

A closed source wrapper around a web view? I have to advise that no one install, never mind use, this closed source, proprietary blob. Especially not for anything confidential like banking, health, etc.

This is amazing, and I hope this sets a precedent for other companies. Stuff like this would definitely sway my buying decision, if I know when a product becomes EOL I can tinker with it.

Seems like great publicity for Anna's Archive. I've heard an increasing amount about Anna's Archive over the last 12 months. It has popped up a lot. I wonder if they've seen their traffic spike a lot.

I’m nearly the same. Though I do find I’m still writing code, just not the code that’s ending up in the commit. I’ll write pseudo code, example code, rough function signatures then Claude writes the rest.

Yeah you are right. Can you think of any way we could capture that traffic too?

Thanks chjj. Yeah it's always LD_PRELOAD. There is wireproxy [1] though that might do what you want?

Nice, I love WireGuard. I ended up building WrapGuard [1] to run applications without root access to the host and choose Go to write it in. I don't really know Rust, but does it make more sense for firmware/networking type software? Is there even a difference?

I’m working on Gluze (https://gluze.com) as a choose your own adventure story builder app. Trying to build stories where the reader gets to navigated and guide the journey.

Oh, no way. This is really cool. Anything to make presentations more interactive and interesting. I like the look too.

I’m doing something similar with interactive stories [1] but where multiple trees can happen.

I wonder if you could use AI to let people explore your presentation on their own after (maybe even during the presentation).

Like, explain a slide in more detail. You put a dump of information (death by PowerPoint style stuff) then let it think up questions the guest can explore?

What is it with these Chat apps having strange and not-real open source licenses? OpenWebUI is the same. Is there something about these chat apps that seems to make them more prone to weird and strange licenses? Just opportunist?

Are you running the full 65GB model on a MacBook Pro? What tokens per second do you get? What specs? M5?

Yeah, fair point, although it's this Android XR thing I don't trust will live a year.

Even if it did, to me Samsung + Google is just a no go:

Samsung: Bloated with apps I don't want, can't uninstall but probably won't be killed off.

Google: Lean, not too much bloat, but can't trust it to exist more than a year.

I think this is really cool, and the more competition and devices in this space the better. But absolutely no way I will spend that much money for a Google product, that they'll probably kill off in less than a year.

It's clear to me, it's a huge risk for any company to allow access to UK visitors at this stage. All companies should be blocking all UK visitors. It's just too much risk for them to take.

The fault is obviously an incompetent and authoritarian UK government, but that's what the UK overlords have agreed.

I wonder why Apple can create a model to fold proteins, but still can't get Siri to control the phone competently? I'm not sure I agree with Apple's priorities. I guess these things are not synchronous and they can work on multiple things at a time.

Why would a model called "Fast" not advertise the tokens per second speed it performs at? Is "Fast" not representing speed, but another meaning? Is it too variable?

The mobile experience was actually really good. Pleasantly surprised.

What's the benefit of this, over just using proxies [1][2] to manage state? You then get to mutate objects however you want without having to use templating.

    const state = proxy({
      dur: 1,
      count: 141
    });
    const incDur = () => {++state.dur};
    const decDur = () => {--state.dur};
    const incCount = () => {
      ++state.count;
      setTimeout(incCount, 100 \* state.dur);
    };
    return (
      <div>{state.count}, {state.dur}</div>
    );

Is it specifically proxies only work on objects, and in this approach you can have direct variables?

I wish this was a higher up comment because it's such an important point, and it's totally an achievable thing.

Governments should be supporting this competition, or at the very least not encouraging monopolies/duopolies. Give loads of support/help to startups, small businesses. Let the large corps fund themselves.

But instead, we end up giving them huge tax breaks, anti-competitive legislation and even give them a voice in government.

I think the question should be reversed. Is it possible to stay safe if you can not control the devices you supposedly own.

Great, another waiting list. I really wish companies would either release products or not release/talk about them. It's extremely frustrating when you read a full on marketing piece from these companies and think "I'll put aside some time later to try this out" to then be greeted with a "Join our stupid waiting list".

Phew! I was just about to get the new Pixel too, not going to now. I wonder if Samsung will be effected.

We could say the same before AI, but I don't think it's true. Ignoring AI for a moment, if I look at databases as an example, there is lots of choice and competition out there:

MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, CockroachDB, YugabyteDB, Teradata, Snowflake, TiDB, SQLite, DuckDB, and more probably.

I think it's led to great choice and a great sharing of ideas. Theres also been a lot of failures too, that's true, but I'm sure some of those failures have led to a few unique features across those products too.

So now with AI, for me it's the same process, just accelerated. Yes, there is lots of junk coming out there, but I think there's lots of good too.

Maybe romantic, that's fair. But I think a world with lots of different choices and options is far better, than one with a single few efficient/optimal solutions.

Burning money to reinvent things is fine with me if it trains people up, pays people a salary, creates some original ideas, leads to more choice in the market.

I don't think an efficient marketplace is really a world anyone wants to live in. No one would have a job, purpose, creativity, anything really. What's the purpose if everything is efficent.

Isn't that beautiful. True competition. Shouldn't that be how the world works, businesses too? Lots of people, trying their best to build things, and some will share ideas, some with have their own unique points.

Or do we just want CorporateSoftTM to build and own everything in just one big single commercial platform?

I would love it if loads more businesses could start up.

I'm pretty sure if Google agreed, they could come up with the money. Chrome is essentially the gateway to 90% of the world on the internet.

Nice one!

Coincidentally I worked on a large table renderer too this weekend: https://github.com/markwylde/react-massive-table

I noticed you didn't quite get to a million rows. For me, it cut off at 671088.

Same thing happened when I built my one.

I came across the same thing. In the end I just manual made the rows appear at their absolute position. Seemed to work well.

> 7. Google One and Ultra plans, Gemini for Workspace plans These plans currently apply only to the use of Gemini web-based products provided by Google-based experiences (for example, the Gemini web app or the Flow video editor). These plans do not apply to the API usage which powers the Gemini CLI. Supporting these plans is under active consideration for future support.

Again, with the complicated subscription. Please just give us a monthly subscription for developers that I can pay whatever, and then use Gemini CLI, this github action, Gemini chat, Jules, etc. Just like Claude and their max subscription.

This would be a game changer for me.

Sorry, congrats on the release too. This looks cool!
