It’s now EOD Thursday. What was the conclusion of the vote?

(not shown on the chat control website as far as I can tell)

It’s infuriating how US-centric some OSS maintainers can be. Really sad if the OOS ecosystem also have to fragment into pieces like much of the internet is starting to.

Great with a truly open model! How much would it cost to train the different versions?

Yeah, this was the case before MCPs as well. Especially with some of the really bloated SDKs (looking at you Firebase and Twilio).

Would love to use Zulip, but the bad mobile app reviews are scaring me off.

Great hack, thanks for sharing! Any other hacks like this you’ve found useful to improve voice AI?

Good idea. I’ll add some that have annoyed me for years just in case:

- On iOS, the alarms app breaks down once you get to ~250 alarms. You can try to add/delete alarms and it’ll appear like they changed, but the change wont be saved. I can’t use the alarms app now and can’t fix it as I can’t delete alarms. By the way, would be nice to reuse alarms when creating at the same time as an existing alarm so you don’t end up with 250+ alarms in the first place.

- On iOS, the notes app breaks down in long documents (~10 pages of text with bullet points). When writing beyond that, some text will sometimes disappear only to reappear when you type some more. Other times, the cursor disappears. This only happens in long documents. All English text, mainly bullet points, often with some text pasted in.

It’s shocking to me that my iPhone 11 Pro can play gorgeous 3D video games, but can’t handle 250 alarms or 10 pages of text..

Cursor uploads files like credentials.json, .env, and .git-credentials to their servers for their Cursor Tab model. They do this despite those files being clearly credential secrets and even if these files are listed in .gitignore. See the link for a forum post with repro and details by a Cursor user.

You can use a .cursorignore file to prevent the upload, but you need to have that file present before you open the project in Cursor. You also need to update your .cursorignore file before saving any new credential files into your directory to prevent Cursor from uploading them.

Cursor users might feel safe when they have privacy mode enabled, but IMO that feels like false safety. The Cursor team have responded to the forum post describing the security issue saying that privacy mode only means that the sent files aren't stored in plaintext. They don't say anything about not training on uploaded files.

I have no affiliation with Cursor or any other AI IDE company. Sharing as I use Cursor myself and was shocked to see it autocomplete my own secrets and that it uploads such sensitive files.

How many dimensions would you need to increase by to capture positional information?

Seems to me like it’d be a quite low number compared to the dimensionality of the semantic vectors?

We might need to preserve seeds again due to climate change. Impressive to read about those who literally sacrificed their life during a siege for science and the future of humanity. Thanks for sharing.

There’s very few and poor cables in the areas between Russia/Mongolia/India.

AFAIK, the latency from Mumbai to southern Russia (not that far in distance) is surprisingly high. Much higher than from e.g. Frankfurt to Moscow. Don’t know if it’s enough to violate the triangle equality between Frankfurt-Moscow-Mumbai.

How does this compare to the popular Graphile Worker library?

Can you give an example of a search query where Perplexity really shines?

Tried it based on your recommendation, but was a bit disappointed.

I asked Perplexity Pro about the difference between the Rapier and Jolt physics engines. It missed many things that’s clearly available in the docs such as determinism and JS language bindings for Jolt, which makes me afraid to trust it.

Also asked about best Italian pizza places near my address to try something completely different. The top result doesn’t serve pizza and the 2nd result was many kilometers away.

Yes! @OP, would love to hear more on how you’ve done this.

That’s an incredible article, thanks for sharing! Really recommend others to read this.

Calling is great. You can also send an email. If they get a barrage of emails, it might help wake them up.

I sent something I composed myself, but this template looks good if you need inspiration.

This is a really nice demo, great job! I might turn it into a little multiplayer game if you don’t mind?

If so, could you add a license?

The only way to play Fortnite on Android is by installing the Epic Games app directly from their website. That’s many millions of users who’ve already had to install a third party store to play a popular game.

Cool, didn't know that MS Flight Simulator cockpits used a React-like framework. Thanks for sharing!

React is not traditionally used for making games, but that's part of the fun and the challenge. React Jam is particularly relevant for React devs who wanna make a game, but don't wanna learn Unity, Unreal, or some other game engine.

This is the 3rd React Jam. We got a lot of requests to do a React Jam over the winter holidays so we've organized one. We chose to make it a bit longer (13 days instead of 10 days) to help account for being busy with family events etc.

Linear is nice although it’s getting more and more like Jira (read: bloated)

I think https://competition-policy.ec.europa.eu/antitrust/procedures... would be better for contacting EU antitrust.

Here you can specifically create new antitrust complaints.

If you're interested in making games using React as well, I'm helping organize the React Jam. It's a game jam that only accepts games made using React. It runs from July 20th to 30th, and it's the perfect jam for React devs looking to make their first game.

Awesome that you made a game for Steam with React! Haha, there's some examples of other games on the website. People make beautiful 3D games using React, which was crazy to me initially.

Hope you'll join the game jam!

VentureBeat also just published an article on React Jam: https://venturebeat.com/games/react-announces-its-first-game...

I thoroughly enjoyed https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28105277-multiplayer-gam... and would highly recommend it!

You could use TimescaleDB which is a Postgres extension that adds support for columnar tables and time-based chunking. Works brilliantly IMO.

Awesome games! Simple and captivating.

Super interesting work and nicely written!
