Apart from the question “why not just OsmAnd?”

Google Maps alternative with every feature I need—but it also protects my privacy while I’m getting around

Proceeds to include Google Store link…

Take this instead

I wonder how/if TikTok will change after such rapid and specific flux in the community

So basically their software is real open-source now and we can just compile stuff for their devices, without flashing OpenWrt etc? Can those be bought outside of Germany? I’ve never heard of it

Illusion — Why do we keep believing that AI will solve the climate crisis (which it is facilitating), get rid of poverty (on which it is heavily relying), and unleash the full potential of human creativity (which it is undermining)?

Because we keep reading sensationalist advertisements presented as articles instead of experimenting with it ourselves, understanding what it is

And unfortunately, this article is also just a response to media clickbait, not a discussion point it tries to look like

I think it will depend on what exactly is in the PDF. If these are text, you can in a pinch just copy and paste it but I’d expect libreoffice to be able to open it. If these are images, you’ll have to use some OCR

In general whatever anyone does to anything, current userbase will 90% of the time be against it. But

“Next, we’ll remove all the action buttons with their superfluous interaction counts from the main timeline,” Musk posted in a subscriber-only post on X in October of last year. “Just view count will show, unless you tap into a post.”

So the main thing will be views. Not how many agree, how many object. Views
And probably it will also become the main analytic datapoint

Shit in, shit out

Characters in the title are not the regular ones making it look like a spam mail, no link, description sounds like corpo LLM. If there really is some podcast somewhere, I think it deserves better

WONTFIX: Works as intended

Two way as in “upload too” or “another share from other device”?

I create a Directory, and that directory and it’s files become available to network

So basically you want to set up an ftp server?

You mean like LocalSend, croc, Share via HTTP or ShareX?

I think I’ve found an app some time ago that was just setting up an HTTP file server, so you could share whole directories. But I didn’t have use for it and I forgot the name

No, that is actually useful. Blocking access for anonymous users is not

If anything, the boom of LLMs like copilot and chatgpt actually shows the power of open source and open access to information. Underlying algorithms would mean nothing without open source, open access to stackoverflow, forums, etc

Microsoft acquired Github and the discussions around the future of opensource on a microsoft owned infrastructure

Personally I’m impressed it took them so long to start driving it to the ground

I moved to Codeberg

Codeberg is a non-profit, community-led organization that aims to help free and open source projects prosper by giving them a safe and friendly home

Maybe this could help?

Unless there’s a bunch of people that create open-source firmware/HAL

But even if, I think it’s still an improvement. Even if firmware is proprietary, you could flash it on “titan-compatible” chip when yours dies making your device independent from chip ownership etc

…

3 minutes ;P

“And now, Einstein will explain WiFi for you”

Oh gods, now I’m starting to count how much time will pass until I see an ad like that…

Not exactly Jerboa fix but for that behaviour I use Open link with. Set it as your default browser and you can set it to use NewPipe for every youtube link, etc

It seems that a few months ago it became operational

From what I learned at university:
CISC instruction set (x86) was developed to adress the technical reality of its time - time costly CPU operation and fast read from storage. Not long after that the situation has changed - storage reads became slower in comparison to computing time (putting it simply it’s faster to read an archive and unpack it than to read unpacked thing). But in the meantime the PC boom has happened. In a way backward compatibility and market inertia locked us with instruction set that is not the best optimised for our tech, despite the fact that RISC (for example ARM) was conceived earlier.

In a way software (compilers and interpreters too) is like a muscle. The more/wider it’s used, the better it becomes. You can be writing in python but if your interpreter has some missed optimization opportunities, your code will be running faster on architecture with a better optimized interpreter available.

From personal observations:
The biggest cost of software is not to write something super efficient. It’s maintainability (readability and debugging), ease of use (onboarding/training time) and versatility (“let’s add the feature that is missing to what we have, instead of reinventing the wheel and maintaining two toolsets”).

The new languages are not created because they can do something faster than assembler (they can’t, btw). If assembly code is written as optimal as possible, high level languages can at best be as fast. Writing such assembly is a problem behind the keyboard, not a technical limitation. The only thing high-level languages do better is how much time it takes a human to work with it.
I would not be surprised to learn that bigger part of these big bucks you mention go not into optimization but rather into “how can we work around that difference so the high-level interface stays the same as for more widely used x86?”

In the end it all boils down to machine code - it’s the only thing that really exists when it comes to executing code. If your “human to bits translator” produces unoptimized binaries, it doesn’t matter how high-level your code was written in.
And sometime in the meantime we’ve arrived at a level when even a few behemoths like Google or Microsoft throwing money into research (not that I believe they are doing so when it comes to optimization) is enough.
It’s the field use that from time to time provides a use-case that helps finding edge-case where optimization can be made.
To purposefully find it? Dumping your datacenter in liquid nitrogen might be cheaper and probably more predictable.

So yeah, I mostly agree with him.
Maybe the times have changed a little, the thing that gave RISCs the most kick were smartphones, then one board computers, so not long ago. The improvements are always bigger at the beginning.
But the fact that some companies are trying to get RISC back into userland in my opinion means that the computer world has only started to heal itself after the effects of PC boom. There’s around 20 year difference where x86 was the main thing and RISC was a niche
