The app appears unavailable in France in Google Play is that expected ? My phone is a pixel.

PC GEOS was much later circa 1990, the company spends years maintaining the first version targeting the C64 and Apple II. I also remember fondly the quality of prints produced by PC GEOS which included lots of home printer drivers. The syst

The KV-cache memory usage also seems remarkably frugal, even at the full context length. That could make this model particularly useful in multi-agent coding workflows. I wish KV-cache memory usage and related optimizations were discussed m

Do you think advanced users should consider AVIF/AVIF2 along JPEGXL for long term pictures archival ? Which kind of encode settings do you suggest for conversion from high resolution RAWs or JPEGs ?

Does anyone know how hard it would be to do the same with other tablets like Allwinner A733 ones ? Allwinner is supposed to also have some Linux support.

Have you thought about building a RISC-V “fantasy computer” core for the MiSTer FPGA platform? https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Wiki_MiSTer/wiki From a software-complexity standpoint, something like 64 MiB of RAM p

It appears that only the 4o text interface has been removed. Advanced Voice Mode is still branded as 4o, although it has been gradually evolving over the past few months. I suspect that voice mode is what most users are actually attached to

These are objects from a time when people were willing to watch machines work, not just get instant output. Today, even if small DIY plotters were cheap to build, they’d mostly live in the “art / hobby” space: most users won’t wait sev

The brand suffered from energy price hikes, felt particularly sharply after 2022, and its marketing could clearly be improved. Only now, after more than two or three decades, are new designs finally appearing on the roadmap. These glasses w

30 years ago, without an SSD, my Pentium box booted to the desktop in 60 seconds — that’s roughly 5 billion CPU cycles at 75 MHz. Today, with blazing-fast SSDs and CPUs running at 4+ GHz, a typical PC boots in around 10 seconds — that’s 50+

Wirth’s Law still hits hard in 2025. It's like the ghost of your first CS prof whispering "I told you so" every time an app eats 500MB to display a list of items. We were supposed to use better tools to build better systems.

The irony is that GCC improved so much since then that now the 48h may be reduced to 30h on the exact same hardware.

Is that kind of setup still usable for some kind of desktop computing or only for command line stuff ? 128MB RAM sounds huge for the early 90s - win 3.1 and word / excel of the time could fly with much less. Is the lack of hardware flo

I also lack an internal monologue and have strong aphantasia, so the idea that I might not be conscious made me a bit uneasy—it just felt wrong, somehow. For now, the best I can say is that my worldview, which includes self-consciousness, i

One always writes for the potential readers. Even if the human readers are becoming rare, the opportunity to be read forever by all these AIs can only boost our ego :-)

I can only recommend this game to its target audience. It's quite addictive and offers an experience I found to be quite valuable. The English version has been crowd-translated into French, German, and Spanish, with more languages in p

According to https://www.bnf.fr/fr/depot-legal-pour-quels-documents , pure ebooks are not exempt; they are just archived directly from the distribution platforms by sampling. What scares me is that some mixed works (PDF

The first step to solve a problem is to measure it. Do you know of a windows program that can measure the latency of the UI of other windows apps ? What really drives me mad is the latency of some file selection dialogs for example which ca

this is a proprietary FPGA design. The effective performance is limited by FPGA technology for now. Maybe additionnal design work would be required for an ASIC targeting latest foundry nodes.

the author considers an "operating system" as the ecosystem where the user live and find a convenient application "store". Same store = same OS. Different store = different OS. So with this reasoning maybe soon Windows =

Also the language wars are related to the platform/OS wars but are much more diverse.

the conclusion feels a little abrupt to me. What about the differences between web 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0? What about the failed W3C standards? What about the limitations of web apps compared to native mobile apps? What about the closed gardens

This kind of publicity will only fuel the hype and the interest of ambitious people. These "advanced AI systems" are only high end GPU systems from the shelves, or even M2 macbooks. The software and data they handle are private. E

Nice service idea. If you operate in the EU, the site definitely requires more legalese as this deals with real personal data : cookies popup, GDPR contact, site editor, company juridiction, the whole shebang.

Before the web and global geek culture, magazines were the only way to get a feeling of "belonging" to some kind of tech community, sometimes the community of some computer brand owners, sharing the same interest for the compatibl

News addiction and constant interruptions are indeed very bad for focus. A long time ago, like in the 90s, non professionnal traders on the stock market were the first to have this kind of problem. Depending on their trading style some cope

The blog describes the technical principes but also how the optimization techniques are difficult to set up in the CI build and largely unfamiliar even to experts. This shows how "performance focus" has become a niche. Large dev t
