That was a good article. From the title I assumed it would be about "agents". It is good to consider non technical considerations into the promotion of a protocol. I am glad that someone is still standing up for privacy.

For some reason this subthread reminds me of the old joke about how to get Linux tech support. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/7p88zj/ask...

Has there been any news on open weighting Qwen Image 2.0 and WAN? We are spoiled in the LLM segment, but I would love to see an open source competitor to Flux.2, etc.

I mostly like Cosmic. One annoying thing is that Cosmic Media Player plays all videos muted by default. It is quite annoying to have to unmute everything.

I think you mean 50 years ago. 60 years ago you were largely limited to SPACEWAR! and Tennis for 2.

It is very possible that Trump and his cronies are just too incompetent to do that. In this one particular aspect (i.e. open source) I prefer having a stupid enemy than a "smart" enemy.

I still like System76. I know the Cosmic rollout was rough, but I still see potential. Open Source systems have often struggled to compete with proprietary systems in many areas. Often it comes down to the lack of a viable business model. S

To give credit where credit is due, it is good that the Trump administration has not avidly played these stupid export control games. They tend to do little except hurt open collaboration; I remember when all open source cryptography had to

However the second part of that aphorism is "but some are useful". I have often wondered how much of IT/Programming is just sticking well understood pieces together. I remember 8 years ago wondering why we could not replace L

I read the article, and it seems she is forgetting the aphorism "all models are wrong". This is a common mistake that people who like "realistic" "simulation" RPGs often make. Any suitably comprehensive model o

In my Traveller RPG campaign, which is set over 3500+ years in the future, Star Citizen is still not out yet. The joke is that the space opera future has arrived before Star Citizen. It has been in omega for the past 1000 years since they r

I saw a Waymo for the first time IRL last week in Atlanta. It stopped on a narrow street for about 5 minutes to wait for the person to come out. The people in the cars behind it were not happy!

You could use the pdfium library as an alternative to Ghostscript.

Where are you? Also, are they IPv6 or IPv4 addresses?

Thank you for the elucidation of the M1. It is odd that chip manufacturers are moving more and more to ASIC approaches again. I do fear they will be less flexible than traditional ISAs. However, GPUs started out as custom silicon, and they

Has anyone considered creating a new libre compiler suite in Rust? That would be pretty cool. I have wanted to do this, but I have so many other projects to work on.

The GPLv3 was designed to counteract this threat. Maybe we should license more stuff under it?

Here is a good blog post on the history of the TRS-80 that also discusses RadioShack's corporate culture. http://www.filfre.net/2011/06/the-trash-80-part-1/
