flakiness

This is such a you-must-be-an-iphone-user comment. Enjoy the good life.

a mostly tech-free home.

sounds like a deliberate choice ;-)

It's a bit shocking to see them showing off blatantly disinformation-al examples. See the Japanese manga one. It says "原作 監修 三浦建太郎" which says its original is written by, and it is supervised the by, the famous author (who died a few years ago so who can he possibly supervise?) and "共同制作 白泉社" saying: collaborated by a (famous Japanese) publisher.

I hope these stakeholders have good enough layers.

FYI: this is an excerpt from https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Be-Evil-Bosses-Promises/dp/00634...

This sounds very American (in a good way to be clear). I wonder how this applies internationally.

Maybe it's worth getting one just to cherish this crazy moment 10 years later. This does cost money but won't cost much of your drawer space.

How do I actually use flashcards? My software of choice is Anki. I am not completely satisfied with it. The UI looks dated, the WYSIWYG HTML editor is clunky, and the undocumented file format makes potential porting and interoperability tricky.

And we still love it. I'm on the same page. This phenomena feels oddly satisfying.

that goes for like 90% of ARM hardware on Linux.

And that's where AMD CPU shines vs ARM.

If I were you, it'd be pretty much worth it when you had a conversation with Stallman.

The example comparisons made me smile. Well done!

I hope that law comes to CA soon. The trail walk has become a deadly adventure in the past few years because of these reckless ebikes.

On our internal multilingual evaluation, OCR 4 leads across all eight language groups — English, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Middle Eastern, Chinese, East Asian, Southeast Asian, and specialized languages (Hindi, Japanese, Georgian, Bengali, Armenian, Hebrew, Greek, Gujarati, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu).

The initial version of this page called these "minor languages" (vs specialized language), which is telling. If you're a speaker of one of these: This is why you need a sovereign set of models. (Japanese government: Are you listening?)

Wow, such a un-apache-y homepage I've ever seen, vs. the canonical one: https://httpd.apache.org/ (And wow, they still keep releasing it!)

My understanding is that this is the limitation from Windows not from AMD SoC. There are several internet resources to "enable unified memory support" on linux eg [1].

As a side note, qualcomm chip set on Android has been doing this for years (like Apple) so it's not super unique thing. It's more like there was no need before.

I see more of these conventional commit-style comments recently and it feels like coming from Claude Code etc. It's a bit unsettling that not only training data but also random lines in the default system prompt affects this kind of software development norms in subtle and pervasive ways.

Maybe the fertility rate has to go below zero to bounce back... Japan's rate is like 1.14 yet [1].

Hopefully Korea has figure out something more actionable

I beliee these are affordable enough for the intended audience (which is Stanford undergrad/master)

The title reads "PM's Office calls Calbee's response a "stunt"; Emphasizes naphtha sufficiency, including intermediate products".

Asahi Shinbun is one of the established newspapers.

Also at the end (translated by google):

"The government interviewed Calbee about the situation on the 12th. According to a government official, they explained to Calbee that there is a sufficient amount available in terms of total volume. Sources close to the Prime Minister expressed concern over the ripple effects, stating, "Calbee's reaction is an overreaction. Their announcement will cause other companies to become anxious as well." However, Calbee maintains its stance, with a public relations representative stating, "This is a measure to ensure the stable supply of our products."

So it's relatively mild "nudge", if you compare it to the current US administration.

Bad timing. Not only MB Neo, but also the memory price hike. Whole selling point is vanishing, plus other makers are getting momentum reacting to Neo, further shadowing the FW12's existence.

I hope they can come back with some update with newer chipset, either from Intel or Qualcomm. They were picking the worst Intel generation and I think it was mostly bad luck.

Prompts are shorter than SWE-Bench Pro's but still longer than how developers actually message agents. Behavioral verification needs some minimum specificity to know what surface to test against, which puts a floor on how terse a prompt can be before the test becomes ambiguous.

It'll be tricky to automate the verification with a vague prompt. In other words, the SWE's job these days is to be a intelligent verifier.

Good to know. Thanks!

I'm using pi agent and love to try qwen models (hosted). What are the good options? The official provider doesn't include Alibaba. Is OpenRouter etc. fast enough?

(As a reference, DeepSeek v4 is severely throttled on these proxy services.)

Japanese sugi forests are too dense. I don't think they have the space to lay these logs down.

Give me a link. Cannot wait. One PSA is that they have 75% discount right now so it is already cheaper than the full price.

I suspect it's mostly about setting the expectation. They don't want to give up the control, they don't make it "free" (although it virtually is). Both are possible with open source but it would need a lot of explanation. Being closed makes it more natural.

I believe the assumption is: The code is cheap. The collaboration (eg. upstreaming) is expensive.

Is it true? We'll see, in a few years.

It is basically VS Code Web. Try https://vscode.dev/ to see how you feel. If you don't like it you won't like cider.

We're committed to open-sourcing all of Mojo, but the language is still very young and we believe a tight-knit group of engineers with a common vision moves faster than a community-driven effort. So we will continue to plan and prioritize the Mojo roadmap within Modular until more of its internal architecture is fleshed out.

I hope they stick to their original promise. And the 1.0 release would be a great time to deliver this.

The lack of real bacon is shocking for sure.

Hello?

Trolling aside, I found this kind of Rust-powered typeset modernization promising. I used Typst and liked it. This one would have its own niche too.
