I share the analysis, and am stunned by the gaping loophole they are exploiting. Is it the end of open-source?

I mean a clause along "don't ever have any LLM read my code" either for training, or for making a vibecoded output.

How does it work legally? IANAL so I have no idea and that's why I'm asking.

Are you trolling ?

Ho wow, the sample video shows incredible results, I'd love to read more about how to configure it with my own laptop and microphone. Settings ought to be different for each laptop model, right ?

I found it interesting to see that it is actually used by law enforcement and some public workers in France. The technical reports look kinda convincing, but otoh they use AWS as a backend and did not disclose their server code so far.

I don't see sourcehut [0] mentionned here. I tested github and gitlab CI, sourcehut is MILES ahead. I'll drop two key features here : - any CI run successful or not, gives you back a ssh URI so you can log into the machine to inspect/tweak/tinker - CI files are NOT in the project's repository. no need to wrangle with your git branches when working on CI anymore

Coming from the same background as the author and about checks notes 15 years older (ouch), I loved Niri very much. However I never managed to make x11 windows behave correctly. At the moment the solutions are a bit cumbersome [0] and I didn't manage to have a smooth experience so far...

It's not Show HN / Tell HN because I didn't make the site. But I like it and wanted to share.

It's not, it's made by saint11 [0] who worked on Celeste.

To clarify : I'm not the author/host of the site. Saint11 [0], who worked on the recent "Celeste" platformer, is.

Man I'd love to have a screenshake setting for that

Well the manual setting for the background color doesn't seem to work anymore except for Apple products:

https://neovide.dev/configuration.html#background-color-depr...

Too bad the background color is deprecated, I'd like it better with a good ol solarized theme.

I'm very skeptical of anyone trying to fit history in a single narrative. This whole text sounds like an over simplification.

It also presents the usual contradiction that any neo-liberal argument is "not a political argument". The author states :

Techno-Optimism is a material philosophy, not a political philosophy.

Then proceeds to glorify the techno-capital (their term) and shun communism. How is that not political ?

While I do like technology and optimism, I prefer a more honest view. I think I'm glad this manifest exists: I disagree with almost every item of the list, but it's useful as a reference of the views of rich techno-advocates capitalist and everything wrong with it.

I developped a social non-network trying to optimise for positive interactions. I have a CLI version running happilly on a pubnix (rawtext.club), and am looking for a way to host it on the web too.

So unless you're part of RTC I can only share the blog and readme at the moment :-/

I might be an outlier here, but except when data size is a real constraint, I tend to favor XML. (ToML being a good contender, but I don't have enough real-life experience with it yet)

I was glad to learn about the 1942-1944 musician strike. Didn't know about it, there is a wikipedia article about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1942%E2%80%931944_musicians%27...

The page is utterly undescriptive on what google bard is. Given the hype about Large Language Models recently I assume it's yet again a chatbot of sorts ?

Can anyone here enlight us ?

The depth of the simulation mostly.

I even used it as a table top role playing game, where I was the only one seeing the screen, would describe the situation, and players come up with the actions. There were no action they asked for I couldn't perform in the game.

Or you can use an alternate frontend like:

https://invidious.projectsegfau.lt/feed/popular

or any other instance:

Hey, the steam webpage states:

Evidence-based and community certified.

While I'm convinced this kind of stuff can help,I wonder what kind of evidence and certification you can build on that kind of game. I didn't find any documentation on the website.

Care to share more ?

That seem to be it. They talk about compiling a database of cave art. I'd love to access that !

Honestly, this devices just misses a speaker and a microphone. It would make for the best phone ever.

I'd recommend IRC. There are still many users and since it's completly out-of-fashion, it's not contaminated by the very graphical and instantly-rewarding culture of meme, gifs emojis and likes.

It's still mostly text and a good medium for conversations.

I've been there in the last 2 years, and we went for massive spaghetti ball to about 50% rewrite and 60% under tests.

I second most comments against the "full rewrite" here:

- source control it

- get a local environment if you can

- write tests before changing/deleting something

Adding tests can be hard at first. The book "Working Effectively With Legacy Code" by M Feather contains useful techniques and examples.

Be wary of the Chesteron's fence : "reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood". Don't fix or remove something you don't understand.

Adding one data point. I started doing exactly that a few years ago as a single man. Works wonder to fix sleep disorders, sync sleep cycle with the sun. Also helped with mood swings and boredom.

The last great point is that as soon as I know I don't have access to a screen, I get a lot done. Merely having the possibility of turning on hacker news or else makes me terrible at doing any kind of chore.

I play the banjo, which is way less popular and has a specific quirk : you don't havea single tuning but dozens ! You swap then and retune the instrument according to the current song/type of music. That's additionnal burden on memory, so the help of a tool can be tremendous.

Most sites/app (this on included) let you change the tuning but I'd love to find one that can handle a list of presets, so I don't have to wrestle the GUI to change each string when I want to play another song.

Any recommendations ?

Not sure if it's relevant but I liked the approach of Pavel Fatin in measuring editor latency [0]. It uses OS level input events and actual rendering on screen. So testing the same editor/file with different settings might yield results that are different depending on your scheduling config, while staying close to a "real world" example. He shared [1] the tool he made for the tests.

I'd be curious to know your results regardless of the technique used.
