OP, since you're here in the comments can you talk about the binary and memory size and sandboxing support? Ability to import and export functions/variables across runtime boundaries? Is this a feasible replacement for Lua scripti

C# is my second-favorite language. I made a shebang to do the same for rust (my number one) many years ago with zero (external) dependencies: https://neosmart.net/blog/self-compiling-rust-code/

I don’t understand the value proposition of TeleMessage. Uses Signal but defeats the point of using Signal. Why not use a proper centralized chat with actual retention and encryption?

Yup. They don’t compete technically, but they are realistically competing for attention and support as they’re using one in place of the other.

Those are all issues actively virtualizing (i.e. taking a physical machine installation virtual), not installing NT 4 clean in a virtual env.

This is the AirBnb format, right? They ditched it for a newer alternative; I’m not sure if this was relying on them for maintenance and development or not, but if so I’d say start looking elsewhere.

Taxes and supply charges are what take it from cheap to expensive in Illinois.

Presumably you absolutely shouldn't use this on any EF Core LINQ expressions or you'll end up materializing the entire table!

I just want to point out that this (ridiculous) change did not impact Grok via the API.

Why? Does it interpret the code?

White House communications director previously revealed (after “Signalgate”) that Signal was an approved and whitelisted app for gov’t officials to have on work phones and even discuss top-secret matters on. But I haven’t heard that TeleMes

I want to say there was a product that did this circa 2006-2008 but all I’m finding is the .NET Micro Framework and its modern successor the .NET nano Framework. I’ve been using .NET since 2001 so maybe I have it confused with something els

They do indeed. Rosetta 2 is lightyears beyond Rosetta when it comes to performance and emulation overhead strategies and benefits from hardware support (and having to do less work just because of fewer differences between the host/tar

Great article but I was really put off by this bit, which aside from being very condescending, simply isn't true and reveals a lack of appreciation for the innovation that I would have thought someone posting about target triples and c

The benchmarks and charts they have up are frustrating because they don’t include 03-mini(-high) which they’ve been pushing as the low-latency+low-cost smart model to use for coding challenges instead of 4o and 4o-mini. Why won’t they inclu

I have actually requested an even more intelligent/aggressive size optimization for nested enums, where values are automatically reassigned to not coincide/conflict to enable tag-less differentiation. Consensus was that it’s a big

The important part is that this doesn’t seek to force a zero trade deficit on a per-country basis. Imagine insisting Cambodia has to buy as much US goods (taking into account the type of goods the US exports) as US companies import from Cam

It would be much more convenient to use if changing the voice model worked on the fly, without having to stop and start the audio.

That is not correct; in another comment you can see where the code takes advantage of the rust-specific &mut notation to use a fast memcpy for non-overlapping pointers.

No one is mad merely because there is a capped free service and an unlimited paid service offering. The ire is because of the rug pull. (I presume) you know that. It’s predatory behavior to build an entire ecosystem around your free offer

Note that this doesn’t satisfy the government’s original request, which was for worldwide backdoor access into E2E-encrypted cloud accounts. But I have a more pertinent question: how can you “pull” E2E encryption without data loss? What h

Because they express numbers as rational times a real, so the real in all those cases would be one. When it’s one, you do rational math as normal without involving reals.
