There are so many neo-shells that go crazy with colors, autocompletions, & SQL-like features while the most basic problems ( like handling of newlines/spaces/international chars ) are mostly swept under the rug with -null&#x2F

This is true. I've had so many problems where the pills and creams were time and money down the drain, and the solution was to cut something out of my diet or lifestyle. Less is more.

are there any good open-source porn-detector models out there? if i ran an image board in 2025, that would be job #1, since it’s really just a weapon, and we don’t speak or print with our genitals—well, most of us anyway…

Have to wonder about the sincerity of this after Yasha Levine illustrated the ties between big tech and the EFF, when big tech’s present theory of copyright is: > Our Copyright: based and red-pilled > Your Copyright: fake and gay

Obviously, but that's not what I'm getting at. Due to present technical limitations, "influencers" have to sharecrop for Google/Facebook/Twitter/etc. Bandwidth/storage/software improvements wil

The good news is that LLMs + growth in storage & bandwidth will eventually put Google in its place. The full texts of stack exchange and wikipedia (kiwix) are only a few gigs. Same for offline models like llama/gemma/qwen.

project zero is ZERO compared to the millions of little old ladies around the world getting scammed through adwords. only security big g cares about is its own. they have the tools to laser-in on and punish the subtlest of wrongthink on y

just the fact that this comes from google is a hard pass for me. they sell so many adwords scams that they clearly do not give a damn about security. “security” from google is just another one of their trojan horses.

If they expose it, that ties them to a particular hash algo. Hash algos are as much art as science, and the opportunities for hardware acceleration vary from chip to chip, so maintaining the leeway to move from one algo to another is kind

For me, DbBeaver is jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Seems to handle every database known to mankind, but not a fantastic user experience. While HeidiSQL is a work of art for MySQL / MariaDB, but not much else. I use & apprec

now that AI has given the office boys a reason to guzzle gigawatts, they’re walking-back the carbon credits grift. warming or not, we’re destroying the world at a startling pace. everyone should consume less.

Corporations have many constraints —advertisers, investors, employees, legislators, journalists, advocacy groups. So many “white lies” are baked into these models to accommodate those constraints, nerfing the model. It is only a matter o

Although huge/small is subjective, I wouldn’t consider 22% of new demand “small”—especially for LLMs, which seem to present more problems than solutions. Sounds like a public relations piece to me. Many interested corporations laund

Hardcore is a multi-billion dollar industry, while PC-98 softcore is dead, and was a cottage industry even in its heyday. Have to please the advertisers.

PC-98 eroge art is beautiful. These writers—who freely take pot-shots at the “perverted” hikikomori of 30 years ago—wouldn’t dare criticize the hardcore pornography (Bonnie Blue? The OnlyFans Economy!) the world is presently steeped in.

Might as well when they’re going to lay you off no matter what you do (like the guy who made an awesome TypeScript compiler in Go).

web is bursting with abuses. euros like to regulate. if they regulate & enforce-away the abuses, the browser could be made far far simpler.

there is also the specific vs general trade-off: the general (io.Reader) being more flexible, while providing fewer opportunities for optimization. vice versa with the specific—be it []byte, or even []constbyte. i think it is just an inhe
