If you don't want to be responsible for it, another way is to just publish it anonymously: make a GitHub that isn't attached to your real name etc, perhaps using a one-off disposable email address, and put it there. Then you don&#

Their neutral harness is not very good though, if I read it right, it doesn't preserve the reasoning state between turns. No real harness discards reasoning state like that.

It's quite common in Europe. Usually you get 15 minutes which seems fairly generous.

As I understand it, Kosovo and Montenegro adopted the Euro unilaterally, without agreement from the EU. I don't think that'd be (politically) possible for Iceland (?). So the EU would need to agree to this, which also doesn't

Yes, that's sort of our strategy as well: for us accuracy (and following a style guide, and extracting on-screen text from video) is important. So we do a first pass with whisper to get the word timestamps, and the pass the same audio

It seems like it has come to mean "fast, small, cheap" models these days, and seems well enough understood as such that different AI labs are adopting it.

As I understand it, the drive can thus be seized, and a potential loss of a cheap flash drive is a lower inconvenience than loss of the phone.

Not forever though, and if you're an iPhone user, already current iPhones sold in the US are eSIM only. So in some number of years (depenfing on your device oldness tolerance), they will become obsolete eventually.

Gemini "flash" models have an option for media resolution, including a high resolution option for screenshots.

It's not great if you don't want to use the Grok models though (and I don't, because it's now an Elon product), and if using Claude models via Cursor, the usage I get is way less, I was sometimes spending $60/month

Yes, now the poster of the issue just needs to (tell claude to) write a bot which posts a "bump" comment every 17 days, and the bots will cancel each other out.

One interesting thing: > Note: the original version of this post had a section here about an astronomy app I am working on that began as an astrology app and was rejected after having the astrology content removed. App store [sic] review

I think one attack vector this sort of overlooks in the first point, regular users installing malicious apps. My elderly mum has an Android phone. She is not very tech-literate. She might see a full page ad "your phone has a virus, cle

This doesn't seem very competitive: it's priced at ₹4,199 (€38,08) on HMDs store. On Amazon France, you can buy an "Energizer U506S" for €40.19 with free shipping. And that one has: CPU: 1.5Ghz 4-core (MT6739 from 2017)

It's often more nuanced than that IMO. OSM in my experience is better at features (roads, hiking trails, and stuff like that), i.e. what's shown in that comparison screenshot. Google Maps is better at place-metadata, such as openi

And Organic Maps is itself a fork of Maps.me, started ...due to concern over the governance of Maps.me (introduction of commercial elements I think?). This app has had quite a history.

I even (quite a few years ago) successfully ran an older version of Minecraft on a laptop released in 2003. That had a Radeon 9000 graphics with a whole 32MB of VRAM. And yes, it was playable with IIRC around 20fps, with minimum settings an

Well, it could als also be argued that Chrome _is_ more secure, for example because it uses app-bound encryption using Windows DPAPI system, for cookies, so that it at least tries to protect cookies from malicious applications running on th

A question for OP: why did you choose Crunchy Data for your database, instead of Fly's own managed postgres offering? Because the latency between Fly and Crunchy Data must be quite high, given that they are probably not in the same dat

Im curious about this: because in my experience (working on smaller services though), a small number of errors is always there, as a "baseline". Recently there was this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4725297

Hm, interesting. But the pricing page is quite confusing to me: the $39 "pro plan" says "Up to 8 instances running". And above that, "Pricing that scales to zero". But if I'm always paying $39, what's

On LAN (no internet, wired), it's quite decent. With e.g. Parsec, it's quite high image quality, low single digit latency, so quite usable.

They specialize in domains management for businesses who consider their domain to be _very_ important. Think Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Wikipedia... (all of those are listed as clients on the wiki page) As in "pay a lot of money",

What are you doing for DB backups? Do you have a replica/standby? Or is it just hourly or something like that? Because with a single-server setup like this, I'd imagine that hardware (e.g. SSD) failure brings down your app, and i
