My big question as an OSS dev distributing some precompiled binaries via npm for easy installation: does allowScripts also default to disabled when directly installing a package (globally or otherwise)?

As usual, another release post with no mention of what the damn thing is. “A modern, self-hosting Object Pascal compiler built for the 2020s. Zero legacy, full ARC, and unified UTF-8.”

This is bullshit on par with the Chinese firewall, meant to effectively prevent the (entire!) western world from information by parties deemed persona non-grata. SSL certificates are supposed to be about security, not geopolitics. I'm

I used Gemini exclusively via the API but downloaded the app last week for something. Even on max settings, it is ridiculously nerfed!

It's saying it's better than naively truncating the QAT release to 4 bits.

I'm not surprised Chen's patch was rejected; that's an extremely niche usecase not worth supporting. With my shell developer hat on, I agree with the closing "developers would likely welcome a native implementation that

How were you getting anything useful out of that? We found the (unquantized!) E2B model to be completely useless at even the simplest real-world classification tasks.

So what we want now is unsloth (or anyone) to release 4/6-bit quantized models of these releases?

Why is this written as a marketing spiel instead of just, you know, answering the question?

ADBC: https://arrow.apache.org/docs/format/ADBC.html Seems like a columnar version of ODBC, for OLAP instead of OLTP.

Quite aside from the architectural changes, I suppose this is the answer to why Google had such a glaring hole in the (pretrained) Gemma4 model lineup between the Gemma4 4b and Gemma4 26b models! A model that comfortably fits in 16GB of VRA

I’m not sure I agree? For each of your examples there are algorithmic approaches and neural network approaches. Companies have certainly been loose and wild with how they market these, but there remain distinct approaches and implementation

Is this a Google-only proposal? Has Mozilla provided their thoughts on the matter?

Why would the default language-level union keyword implementation force boxing? Seems like a crazy decision if it could just also implement the HasValue/TryGet itself and avoid it?

This one keeps crashing the browser after it reaches 100%. Safari/iOS, iPhone 13. I was able to navigate and use a few of the other ones linked to from the comments, though. Curious.

How is this an OS? I thought it might be a kernel developed in rust with a python ffi api, but it's nothing to do with any of that.

This might be worth it if Gemma4 E2B were a good model, but honestly it's absolutely useless in all our testing without further training and finetuning, and those aren't usecases that are fit for normal web browser use such that o

Just tried this via the api; it seems to work best if reasoning is set to low, otherwise (especially GPT-5.5) like to “delve” into the matters discussed in the quoted text in order to logic out the author rather than just going off of styli

The explanation is very concerning. Lexical tidbits shouldn’t be learnt and reinforced across cross sections. Here, gremlin and goblin went from being selected for in the nerdy profile to being selected for in all profiles. The solution was

Isn’t that kind of an “implementation detail” of the cheese? Like you can’t categorically say one way or the other for some without knowing the process used? Obviously some forego that altogether, but for the majority it would simply depe

Not sure how I feel. Anna’s Archive turned into a profit-seeking beast a long time ago. They’re also rolling in it thanks to he massive deals to “license” the content to AI companies. Libgen was a much better option.
