The ability to sandbox Google Play Services (if you need it, but realistically, you probably do) and to simply not assign it more permissions than it absolutely needs is awesome. I run it with very restricted permissions, where it by defaul

Imagine what can happen if the French and other governments would start pouring all the money into developing that further in the open, rather than just giving it all to Microsoft instead?

Because it's been trained on decades of StackOverflow and forum posts. And because while some command line tools go in and out of fashion, quite a lot are very stable, so their use will show up all the time in the training material. Si

A question because I'm not using speech-to-text, but find it intriguing (especially since it's now possible to do locally and for free). How have your computing habits changed as a result of having this? When do you typically use

There are already APIs being developed that assume a browser has an LLM either inside it or otherwise available, see for instance https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Summarizer_... So they p

Attention is all you need, as the transformative paper (pun definitely intended) put it. Unfortunately, you're only getting attention in 3 second chunks.

Telling people to use nano would of course have been next to impossible. Much easier to rewrite a DOS-era editor in Rust, naturally.

That's also where etcd came from. It really felt, to me, like the precursor to Kubernetes.

Help me understand what this means to e.g. GrapheneOS, please. Will it be able to exist and just have to wait longer for updates or will it be in real jeopardy?

A GameBoy emulator written in PHP would certainly piqued my interest, but more like a morbid curiosity than anything else. :)

It is interesting that this relates exactly to everything that goes as "cloud native" these days, without really mentioning the fact that due to Kubernetes and the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's huge landscape of open so

Do you need fancy looking ones or just barebones QR codes? Because the latter you can just get from the qrcode Python package and simply go "qr news.ycombinator.com > hn.png" in your terminal. https://pypi.org/p

That's right, and it's also why you see Kubernetes distributions popping up. That way, someone has already done all the configuration of various plugins and components for you. For instance, the major clouds that all let you easil

As writing advice, it went from very understandable and approachable to stuff like: "You can get this property by stapling HKDF onto your protocol (once for key derivation, again for commitment). See also: PASETO v3 and v4, or Version

Can't do it myself, but I've heard that people listen to typical traditional "video game music" for this purpose. Fast, upbeat, and never something you need to focus on, but rather, it just helps you keep up the concentr

It's fast, but laughably inaccurate. Open shirt? Windsor knot. Hand against chin? Stethoscope. Cell phone close to face? Harmonica.

In tons of enterprise and just general office settings, you'll be given a CSV file, rather than a database dump. Heck, even scientific lab equipment will output CSV for you. It's basically the lowest common denominator for all kin

The point of Kubernetes was to make "run this software on a cloud" trivially compatible across clouds. No specialized code that is needed for load balancers, storage, networking... you should be able to take your containerized app

The fact that they resorted to writing crap these days with AI is what is making them lose relevance, not that they have been in the business for a long time, and have thousands upon thousands of articles. CNET used to, perhaps not be cool,

If their romantic significant others are fine being number two in this way, and it's all consensual, then they should do it and move their lives the way they want to. I would personally not be OK with this setup with a romantic partner

The status quo was "months ahead of time", but their startup idea was to cater to "last-minute" types of travelers, and challenge that status quo. Have a sudden urge to have a nicely planned and well-put together weekend

Cool idea, and would love to take it for a spin! Feedback: the MongoDB dependency is annoying, from an enterprise (self-hosting) perspective. Due to their licencing, you can't have a managed service provider host it for you (unless tha

In this case, I would recommend that you get an employer-specific GitHub account, so you can compartmentalize it that way. A bit of a hassle, yes, but then, you're definitely not tying yourself in git history to that employer for your
