I don't think you understand the problem they were facing. If they rewrite the backend it would also REQUIRE rewriting the frontend because of how entangled they were. Whereas rewriting the frontend did not require changing the backend

I self pay for one from lilly-direct for about $200/mo. Insurance doesn't cover any part of it yet. It required a prescription from my doc and it comes in the mail.

There were a bunch of minor versions between 3.0 and 4.0 made up of fundamental refactor work to establish separation of concerns. As I understand it from the call graphs he shared, the problem was that the UI was reaching deep into the aud

If you watch the admittedly long video from Tantacrul about what it took to get from 3.0 to 4.0 he talks about that. They had a lot of tech debt that made it impossible to update the audio engine. He talked about the new engine being the ro

I disagree. Calling for ethnic cleansing counts to me as taking a stance against a group's right to existence.

"Freedom to compute" cannot be separated from "Freedom to exist" as it explicitly depends on it. The authors of Omarchy pay lip service to the former while taking a stance against the latter.

This analogy breaks down because computers aren't going away unlike horse drawn carriages or sailing vessels. Computers aren't being replaced by something. It's that fewer people will understand how they work while the effici

They already started by shrinking national monuments. https://www.npr.org/2026/07/14/nx-s1-5893397/trump-again-shr... EDIT: Adding a TL:DR, this article explains how the Trump admin reduced the size of t

Yeah, I have one of their keyboards. The keyboard is advertised as a QMK based device but it doesn't work with QMK software. At minimum using their website means they get a ping whenever I'm configuring my keyboard. At worst they

No, you can serve IP over USB sockets just fine, no need for extra hardware.

Did you notice the examples were really old? Like late 1700s old? Now, imagine you have a wooden box of lead or pewter letter forms. They're small, heavy and backwards. You spend your days lining up those forms in rows and then pressin

Or they invested billions and it behooves them to generate justification for that investment at a time when everyone else is also building railroads, I mean data centers.

To your point about time, from beginning of the project to transcripts in markdown tagged with extra metadata was about 3 hours. That's LLM planning, building whisper.cpp twice and running ROCm vs Vulkan benchmarks, testing whisper and

Not without DRM. It was easier to buy the audiobooks and use the analog loophole to get text. It's probably less accurate, but for what I'm doing it was fine. Names were the worst, but whisper at least made the same mistake each t

I used Claude to build a complete data extraction pipeline for a popular current best seller book series: audiobook -> text (via whisper) -> local LLM (qwen) -> database. Not once did it seem to acknowledge or care about copyright.

The EU just mandated cell phones must have user replaceable batteries by 2027: https://www.cereport.eu/news/european-union/91054 So making this single use is kinda flying into the wind in that regard.

Objectively no. Fish form animals have been around far longer than mammals and we've touched the moon.

Whenever I get an unexpected or obvious wrong output I assume I've failed to give it the complete context about what I'm asking for, or it exposes that I'm leading it by the nose and I need to rephrase the conversation. Often

This federal administration also cannot be trusted. Perhaps the solution is that both the states and the feds run separate censuses so that any broad stroke manipulation or blind spots can be noticed and reconciled.

If I can go to jail over it then they should too. Let's not judge them by some imaginary ideal world while judging individuals by the present crushing reality.

Yes. Took. As in: without permission. Didn't ask before hand, didn't provide a way to opt-out (although that would also be problematic), didn't ask for volunteers. Took.

Because AI companies basically took everything we ever wrote, drew, recorded, posted, or thought and turned it into a product with the power to lie, propagandize, and manipulate the public with zero oversight. Walmart is a parasite using we

I've been using DDG for years and it's at least as good as Google for most general use. I still keep it set as the default search engine. For some context sensitive searches where words overlap with more common topics I have a Kag
