Not sure how to feel about the "Let's fork ReactOS and vibecode hundreds of commits per day" approach.
Who needs DRM like HDCP if you can just use the capabilities baked into the TV to your advantage?
That's one of the weirdest takes on here in a while.
I can develop security exploits myself just fine without the use of AI. Many people don't have the capability to use Photoshop and free online porn to deepfake someone else they might or might not personally know into a realistic video...
Thanks for chiming in and linking that, that was an interesting read. As much as I understand CEF's reasoning for making this shift, it's baffling that they don't provide a universal way to implement what you now had to implement yourself.
What if I want to vote against both Apple and Google but still be able to do my banking business?
You think the writing's bad? The "comics" are so off-putting they ruin whatever sliver of merit this article may have had.
Interesting to see the difference with Astra.
Mind you, this is OpenAI's cherry-picked example
Wonder when Astra is going to definitively "solve" the Voynich Manuscript.
It always did, but who pays it is shifting.
Seems like this uses Exa, as well as two other providers.
That's just demonstrably not true, the foliage alone adds a lot of polygons, so do the stairs.
There are enough tells in there that I'd definitely wager it was co-written by AI
Not enough to be worth it.
I've seen medical specialist take Google's AI answer as truth. Nutty.
> I’m distributing 32-bit builds (but requires SSE2) because there’s no advantage to 64-bit here, and these builds work (almost) everywhere
Kinda ironic given the article's subject of 16-bit mode no longer being available...
They didn't pay for training
I wonder of the CEO ever got back with an update. It seems awfully quiet in that thread.

If your solution can't survive public scrutiny, it doesn't seem like a trustworthy solution?
Do the words "at scale" magically remove all responsibility and reliability?
You might like Daylio. It's free, local-first (with optional backups to your own cloud or device), and has a good UX.
Interestingly, that page notes:
According to Microsoft programmer Raymond Chen on his blog The Old New Thing, Red moon desert was originally intended to be Windows XP's default wallpaper, but was allegedly changed due to some testers feeling it resembled a pair of buttocks, leading to O'Rear's other photo Bliss becoming the default wallpaper. While this wallpaper was temporarily set as the default wallpaper during Whistler, this story does not appear to be true; Bliss had already been selected based on extensive research by design manager Rob Girling and his team, and the Luna visual style shares the same color scheme as the wallpaper. It is more likely the wallpaper was set to default as a decoy; the unleaked Lab06 build 2415 predates build 2423, and shows Bliss set as the wallpaper.
Distributing something for free doesn't mean you don't have patent obligations if you do it in the country that patent is valid in. On top of that, many corporations do sell their distribution of Linux.
I don't think this changes anything about the point I was making.
I'd want to blame Go's compatibility guarantee for this, but I can't because it wouldn't actually stop them from adding a proper solution for this..
Just like the magic comments, it's a sad thing to see appear in this language because it feels like magic incantations one has to know that bend over backwards to not actually extend the language to fit the use case.
But why, though? I have never seen a performance hit from it that would warrant that.
