I use regularly both libreoffice and collabora online and I can say the former is snappy compared to the second. It can take a longer time to open thought, mostly on Windows.

I briefly tried it : I don't see the point, there is no way to connect it to your online collabora instance or directly to Nextcloud or anything except your local files.

Just use LibreOffice at this point, at least it has native performances and is not an app bundled inside a browser.

People actually use this kind of software today ? When I read OpenClaw description : "The AI that actually does things. Clears your inbox, sends emails, manages your calendar, checks you in for flights. All from WhatsApp, Telegram, or any chat app you already use.". It does not appeal to me at all. I wouldn't trust an IA agent near my mails, calendars, messages, flights or anything it could mess-up with. It sounds like a security nightmare waiting to happen.

Yes, it tooks me 2 years to see how much garbage strings conversion to String Names generates and how a fool I was calling something like Input.IsActionPressed("move_right") every frame (sadly it's the example given in the input documentation).

C# support is great. But yes, if you need to call a library/extension written in gdscript from the C# code, you'll need to write some C# bindings to make it practical.

The big "Get started" button does nothing (or maybe show a modal and close it really quickly). This is a good way to scare users away. The loaders are nice thought.

Maybe before buying M3 MacBook for everyone you should consider splitting your 1M line code base to avoid recompiling the whole thing for every change.. I don't know well the go ecosystem at all but it seems to me you should really consider optimizing your code base for compilation speed before creating fancy build time chart per cpu with AI and buying hundreds of super powerfull and expensive machines to compile it a bit faster...

I tried duckduckgo for a while.. I don't know if it's because my main language is french, but I found the results really worse than google's and so I used the !g bang really often. I switched to startpage (proxy seargh engine giving google results), it was ok but a bit slow.

Now I use Kagi search, you have to pay for it, but results are great (often better than google) : less SEO spam, a lot of tuning possible, custom searches, small web searches, good image and map searches. And it is supposed to respect your privacy and private data.

I'm trying Kagi now :

- search results are greats !

- the speed isn't that great (results can take more than 1s to show) : does it become faster once you pay for it ? Or maybe it has to do with the access from europe.

For now, actual voice actors make audiobooks listening way more enjoyable. Those AI voices are convincing but lack the soul, emotions and art direction of actual voice acting. Think about listening to a book for 8 hours with a monotonous AI voice reading it...

Interesting article, but it's lacking a performance comparison between wasm and javascript running in workers.

JS can be largely fast enough for a lot of use cases: if I had some WebAssembly to a project I need a good reason to do so.

Nice project! I was a bit disappointed that you need a supabase account for "self hosting it".. And this is supposed to work only on some hosting service that can connect to Supa base, and also it encourages to fetch your pages content from github.. So it's more a CMS to run with specific service providers rather than something you can actually self host.

Well, he's a fine businessman but maybe a little bit overconfident about a lot of things

An AI made to "understand the true nature of the universe"...

Not a word about physics, or mention of physicists in the team and this is led by Elon Musk, the man who think he can send persons to Mars by 2029. This looks so promising.
