Not sure what to term this as it's an acqui-hire without the acquire, but why did Anthropic want to poach most of Zulip/Kandra's team?

I don't know what the Y-axis is supposed to be on that Wharton AI capabilities graph, but I am not really convinced that Opus 4.6 has more than double the intelligence/capability/whatever of GPT 5.1 Max.

I am, I have an Nvidia 5070 Ti, Aurora for my OS (from the same people as bazzite, but I'm a light gamer so I'm fine using flatpak steam/heroic/etc). the only problems I've faced are

- occasionally an online game breaks and it's usually fixed within a day or two. for example at some point a Battle.net update broke the launcher under Wine some time last year, then for a while Overwatch would intermittently crash once every few sessions. I haven't gamed on Windows in years so I can't even compare anecdotally, but I suspect Windows is probably slightly more stable with live service games. I've never had any issues with a single player game, period. (YMMV)

- DX12 performance is 10-20% worse on Nvidia. This should be improved Soon (TM) - I think the last piece is https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/vkd3d-proton/tree/descr...

- Some anticheats block Linux - the only times I've switched over to windows in the last year have been when some friends wanted me to play Marathon with them

- Running 'sidecars' alongside your games or modding works but is generally more of a hassle with wine

things I didn't expect to work but do:

- Game streaming with Sunlight works fine to Samsung TV via the TizenOS Moonlight app

- Nvidia had suspend issues for a year but those have all been sorted out the last few months

Rates copper peptides for anti-aging as evidence-backed by 'phase 2 clinical trials' and cites a single still-recruiting trial "for Acute Skin Wound Healing'. I think the main purpose of this site is to provide plausible-sounding backing for snake oil.

Same reason the livestream mentioned jobs about a dozen times in the 10 minutes I watched, NASA is in a fraught position and this is their way of fighting for some continued funding. A 'mass media' event captures more attention than a minimalist stream of chatter. (And a less cynical interpretation is also that getting the public interested in and engaged with space missions is part of their mandate.)

You’re getting worked up over nothing. Everything is going to be fine. So just relax, okay? You’re really overreacting.

Trust me, it’s all going to work out perfect. Nothing bad is going to happen. It’s all under control.

Why do you keep saying these things? I can tell when there’s trouble looming, and I really don’t sense that right now. We’re in control of this situation, and we know what we’re doing. So stop being so pessimistic.

Look, you’ve been proven wrong, so stop talking. You’ve had your say already. Be quiet, okay? Everything’s fine.

I don't see any news source anywhere on the internet claiming that 3000 number - anti-government sources have said 'hundreds' of protestors have been killed, whereas the Iranian state media has been silent on the death toll except confirming 109 members of security forces killed.

Different language, but I find this Kotlin RFC proposing union types has a nice canonical example (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/projects/KT/issues/KT-68296/U...)

    inline fun <T> Sequence<T>.last(predicate: (T) -> Boolean): T {
        var last: T? = null
        var found = false
        for (element in this) {
            if (predicate(element)) {
                last = element
                found = true
            }
        }
        if (!found) throw NoSuchElementException("Sequence contains no element matching the predicate.")
        @Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
        return last as T
    }
A proper option type like Swift's or Rust's cleans up this function nicely.

Yes, I have to admit my interest was piqued by the banner, and I then scrolled down, saw the first example was singletons, and closed the tab.

Hence it is evident that the state is a creation of nature, and that man is by nature a political animal. And he who by nature and not by mere accident is without a state, is either above humanity, or below it; he is the ‘Tribeless, lawless, hearthless one,’ whom Homera denounces — the outcast who is a lover of war; he may be compared to a bird which flies alone.

Sure, Aristotle wasn't talking about corporations, but as the author says "you can refuse to participate, but that doesn’t make it go away," you shouldn't be a bird which flies alone.

Or, on the genAI side, Google marketed this use case heavily for Flash Image 2.5 (even if that's not the same type of generative model because it's geared for editing, it's still in the taxonomy)

Does anyone know if there are any sorts of optimizations (either internally or available to the user) for a table with a UIIDv7 PK and a `date_created` column?

I know you can export directly to the backend, but the collector typically uses less than 50MB of RAM in my experience (even when handling lots of traces) and it's pretty easy to add sidecars to however you deploy your backends nowadays. Using Grafana SaaS metrics could look a little spiky or generally weirder without the collector, but normal with it, so I just default to using it now.

It's the shame the docs on it are still quite bad. The example config in the article here does look almost identical to the one we use everywhere, just without the redact, and should probably be pasted somewhere into the official docs.

Every provider seems to produce their own soft fork of the collector for branding (eg Alloy, ADOT, etc) and slightly changes the configuration, which doesn't help.

I hate getting that 'is this LLM output?' feeling halfway through so many articles these days. The article is good but sentences like "This wasn't a minor limitation; it was a fundamental capability gap." are painful to read.

Currently, logs and traces live in separate worlds. You can see that a trace has an error, and you can see related logs, but you can't query them together.

I've looked into SigNoz a few times but still using Grafana. The former does look promising, and features like this would start to make the case for maybe switching.

Also on Ubuntu 25.04, which I updated a homeserver too despite it not being LTS just for the easy access to Podman 5. Once Ubuntu 26.04 comes out the pain described by some sibling comments should end. Podman 4 is a workable version but 5.0 is where I'd say it really became a complete replacement for Docker and quadlets fully matured.
