Why I love NixOS 4 months ago

devenv also has tasks/services. For example you need to start redis, then your db, then seed it, and only then start the server. All of that could be aliases, yeah, but if you define them as aliases you can have them all up with `devenv up`. It even supports dependencies between tasks ("only run the db after migrations ran")

Kagi Translate is now available as an app for Android and iOS!

The app supports over 248 languages and offers context-aware image translation, live voice-to-voice conversations, and a rich dictionary with audio, to name just a few of its features.

Termux 6 months ago

I use my Meta Quest 3 with Termux & Termux X11 to run full desktop apps, and it works like a charm. No emulation, too! Native ARM64!

The link isn't working for me. For those who were able to see it: does it improve anything by using that instead of what ls does now??

It seems to be global. Google cloud, anthropic, everything. Even AWS it seems.

Under the "tools" part of the README it shows the following observation tools: - browser_snapshot_dom - browser_query - browser_accessible_tree - browser_read_text - browser_screenshot

So most likely the LLM can chose how to "see" the page?

Going from memory, the GP comment is from a Markiplier video where he created a "game" in which you choose what path to take.

On the release stream he was asking people to "vote" which path to take, and IIRC it was by writting blue ball emoji or red ball emoji.

People were banned and he took it personally. Contacted his internal youtube contacts and all. There should be videos about him talking of it.

The only true random sources in the universe are quantum. But it's not practical or performant to hook your workload up to a raw quantum measurement like the spin of a fundamental particle, or radioactive decay.

I was under the impression that's how entropy generators for servers work?

This seems like a cool idea which might see some uses in the future. For now it seems like docs are lacking details, so I could not figure out how it works.

Does it only support risc? I saw the example written in C++. Which versions are supported? Is it common to use in kernel development? (AFAIK only NT uses cpp, right?)

Anyways, cool project. I could see it as an alternative for embedded development in the future.

I think the idea is something like "let things run normally until they don't need that extra core. If it doesn't need the core, we shut it down. And it never wakes up"

Which... Makes it hard for the user to notice the change? Cores will naturally go offline, but performance stays the same while you still use it.

I think this is just a demo of what you can do with user space scheduling and shouldn't be taken seriously...

This is a very interesting initiative, and fills me with hope. Not only better temperatures, but even better air (PM2.5 levels reduced!)

But I do wonder, what about insects? Are there more insects because there are more places for them to live?
