Zig by Example 1 month ago

The language is almost 10 years old and they are not planning a v1.0 anytime soon afaik.

Zig by Example 1 month ago

I like Zig but stopped learning it when I realized that all project based on it requires a specific version of the compiler to build.

I kinda disagree. High risk environments just means that they will have to have a human-in-the-loop for a longer time which drastically reduce the skill required for such human (which is still requires high skill just not stupidly high).

A swarm of millions of devices (that can be solar powered) could be more resilient than the "few" nodes that the "internet" architecture has. I guess that is the motivation, in theory.

Internet is not neutral, and hasn't been for too long, many providers offering free Whatsapp or cases like LaLiga.

Interesting... didn't know this part of Linux history. I remember complaining about pulseaudio crashing a lot though ha. Thanks for sharing it.

Gemini 3.5 Flash 2 months ago

They were CPU killers but man those Flash websites were gorgeous (talking mostly about MU Online "private" servers)

I hate that I need to create an Apple account (with email and phone verification) just to be able download the sdk to use MacOS APIs. To make things worse I tried for like one hour to create an account and couldn't because for some reason I was no receiving the verification email.

have to release free open source models because they distill from OpenAI and Anthropic

They dont really have to though, they just need to be good enough and cheaper (even if distilled). That being said, it is true they are gaining a lot of visibility (specially Qwen) because of being open-source(weight).

Hardware-wise they seem they will catch-up in 3-5 years (Nvidia is kind of irrelevant, what matters is the node).

You could argue that the only reason we have good open-weight models is because companies are trying to undermine the big dogs, and they are spending millions to make sure they dont get too far ahead. If the bubble pops then there wont be incentive to keep doing it.
