Open-source car, please.

This is true for India too though traffic there isn't known for its rules.

I have been using Obtainium [1] to install apps on my Pixel including Emacs.

Garbage collection. In addition to expanding the capabilities of raw linear memories, Wasm also adds support for a new (and separate) form of storage that is automatically managed by the Wasm runtime via a garbage collector. Staying true to the spirit of Wasm as a low-level language, Wasm GC is low-level as well: a compiler targeting Wasm can declare the memory layout of its runtime data structures in terms of struct and array types, plus unboxed tagged integers, whose allocation and lifetime is then handled by Wasm. But that’s it.

Wow!

If you have Android, emacs is now officially supported on Android (https://f-droid.org/packages/org.gnu.emacs). Along with https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard, it turns out to be a pretty usable (assuming you are the type that is okay working with emacs in general). I am now in search of a simple way to sync notes between my phone and computer (without using Big Tech solutions).

Thank you Ben for the great work on this project! Also, I remember looking into this one and: https://github.com/vlcn-io/cr-sqlite/issues/444

This is exciting! Especially glad that Litestream is still maintained. Is there a use-case for Litestream for more than backup? I am a fan of offline-first but it would be cool to have a way to synchronize on-device SQLite instances to a single central instance.

From my experience having attempted to migrate away from VSCodium (in the attempts to de-VSCode) and build atop Theia as a platform, there are few things to consider:

- The build system is finicky and can easily take hours to figure/fix.

- The error-reporting is severely lacking. You can be lost why something internal isn't working and go on a rabbit-trail with your favorite AI-copilot, etc.

- Documentation is lacking. You have to dive into the platform code to actually figure things out.

- This can be seen positively but there are quite a few new things being introduced regularly (especially AI-related) which, for a platform, isn't always ideal.

One thing I find amusing as a Malayali (aka Keralite) myself is how we tend to get excited seeing other Malayalis. One of the first questions usually is "Where are you from in Kerala?" (or in Romanized Malayalam: naatil evideya?)

As someone who has recently tried to refactor our app atop of VSCode (treating it like a platform), we got burned by the UI design decisions that are not straightforward to overcome, let alone maintain. The closed-source MS marketplace did not help either towards our OSS goals.

However, I found Theia (https://theia-ide.org) on HN (like a bunch of other cool things; this is one way I justify the time I spend/sink on this site) and find it a much better fit for our OSS goals (foundation owned, open-source marketplace) with full mod-ability while being compatible to VSCode extensions API (in theory). I recommend you look into it for your app.

This is great! Can someone point me to examples how to bundle something like to run offline on a browser, if possible at all?

I think there maybe more than the five qualities that comprise persistence. But those five make a lot of sense and I like how he shows their interplay. Good read!

The Apple Security Bounty will reward research findings in the entire Private Cloud Compute software stack — with especially significant payouts for any issues that undermine our privacy claims.

Let the games begin!

Thank you for sharing that! I am definitely part of the HN group think that tends to be irked by mass marketing- mainly because of baggage from the past of false advertising. However, I do agree that getting the non-IT geek's attention is what would actually move the needle for political action. I was amused (mostly surprised) to see a billboard while driving down the 110 in LA. More importantly, it led to a cool discussion with my non-tech wife who now appreciates your guys' brand more. :)

Does Zed plan to support extensions/customizations outside of themes?

This is a welcome alternative to Jupyter Notebooks/lab- great work! One thing that would be nice is an ability to see previews on GitHub of the Marimo notebook (like Jupyter Notebook). I am not sure if this is possible given you would have to run the code to see the output.

Very interesting and thanks for sharing! I am involved with a project involving a couple Bible Translation orgs to create a service like this but built in a more backend-agnostic fashion (e.g. choice of vector DB, LLM, etc.). We have a prototype and currently planning out next steps. Let me know if you would like to collaborate (find my email ID on my HN profile).

I see OPFS being mentioned a few times by team members. I could not find any estimates on the website, but could any of the folks in the know share any details? I work on an Electron-based text editor which uses the filesystem to manage text files. Something like this would really be useful to me if it supported plain text files.

the device was able to remove 99.997% of E. coli bacteria from 2- to 3-ounce samples taken from Waller Creek in Austin in approximately 20 minutes, with the capacity to do more.

Though necessary, is that the only metric needed to label water potable?

Could someone in the know compare this with LangChain (https://github.com/hwchase17/langchain)?

But try to make a nuanced point about more tests vs. more code to your fellow developers and you'll be burned at stake and your smoldering carcass will be thrown to wild dogs. Village children will use your severed head to play soccer.

Hello from California!

I am passionate about low (no) resource NLP and currently doing a couple projects in the space. Please feel to reach out!

The code comes with no warranty. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

That reads much better than legalese.

Is this for real?! It looks like it came right out of a Sci-Fi movie/book. Could anyone explain how much of this is post-editing magic?

What jumps out at me after reading this notice is how it completely lacks any apology. I am not prescribing what it should say but merely observing that having lived in North America for sometime now, it seems hard for me to imagine for such a notice to not sound profusely apologetic here.

Note: I do not consider words like 'unfortunately' and 'extremely unpleasant' apologetic. Also, I understand there are cultural differences between the Netherlands and the USA- no joke.

Congratulations on the beta launch! I am all for privacy-friendly search engines.

My 2-cents is default to the familiar list view for search results. The current card-view makes it cumbersome to navigate (horizontal and vertical scroll) and scanning screen-width end-to-end. And with my penchant to serially browse results, it can result in me over-spending time to find what I need. Also, it would force you to have a tighter ranking of results. The current view could still be an option.

Nice setup! Could you also share the names (brands/model, e.g. 3M Filtrete 20x20x4) of the three components? I see a few options out there but rather go with something that is vouched for here.
