I would not be surprised if Omarchy switching to Nix caused a large number of Nix devs to leave (yet again) simply because they can't stand others having opinions they don't like, and using the worst possible interpretations of wh

Wouldn't it be even more random (and randomly faster) to break out of the while loop when a winner is found? That way you are not always iterating over the entire list. Perhaps a math/statistics expert can tell me why that is a ba

And probably that just using the term "South America" they know would enrage Trump, not only by mocking his America-all-the-things rhetoric, but also by using it to refer to a completely different region that he hates, and they th

I'm not sure about Australia, but I know in the US, it's now possible for minors to be issued (secured) credit cards from a joint account, so I feel like this makes credit cards as an age verification solution a bit problematic.

I don't think that's what they meant at all. The way I interpreted it is that projects that blanket ban AI/LLM usage will become less relevant... not because the robot overlords will take over software development, but becaus

An unusual back-and-forth debate on lobste.rs, on the topic of "clanker" as a slur, as well as being automatically dismissive of people/projects who use LLMs in any way at all.

Highly disagree that either is more sensible than the other, especially given how each culture actually uses dates in their speech. Or we could follow Japan and just use ISO 8601 directly and write 2026-08-09. https://gcdnb.pbrd.

I think it's basically an NPU hanging off a USB connection, so it can be used as a compute device for local LLM inference instead of your existing CPU/GPU.

What's even more wild to me is that basically ALL modern electronics and all modern batteries are made from raw materials sourced by forced and child labor (and sometimes both)... yet the vast majority of the entire world just turns a

Agreed. And conversely, American models can also just as easily be secretly influenced for bad things, or be more tightly controlled by the government, to corporate America's own detriment.

Jia Tan would disagree. The overwhelmingly vast majority of open-source code isn't actually looked at or audited. Yes it's there for all to see, but that doesn't mean it's doing any good at the moment, in this context.

I think they are making the assumption that if such a govt backdoor existed, it wouldn't be used for generic mass spying, but instead targeted at specific individuals they are trying to find/arrest. That may or may not be true, bu
