I was trying to look for an AI browser like Perplexity or OpenAI's, but one that I could run on a model & key of my choice.I found BrowserOS (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46721474), but in my experience, it fell pretty short of even being able to do tasks.Does anyone know of any FOSS projects like this that actually deliver? it seems like there's not really much in the space

gdp isn't and will never be a measure for social wellbeing. it's just economic output :)
I bought an IONIQ 6 with Hyundai Driver assist II, and it's not what the reviews cut it out to be.
On stretches of pretty straight highway and in traffic, it fares very well, only requiring minor interaction, but on larger curves, it completely disengages with no tone or warning, just a light on the dashboard that turns off.
I'm fully aware you're supposed to drive a car by paying attention to the road, but if the whole point of this feature is to make driving more chill, randomly disengaging makes me distrustful of it
I don't agree! It's easiest to printf() things since you don't have to have tooling to debug every language you want to work with!
while you should know this for anything you're proficient in, I usually reach for printf since it's usually quicker than messing with a debugger :)
I noticed this issue and someone else mentioned it to them too. I think it's cheeky because it's been like that for a while
tokens are stored in localStorage, which is accessible by JS
@grok all software engineers do is mindlessly turn specifications into code in one shot, right?!?
Even though overly broad regulation is a risk, I don't believe little/no regulation is an option either. I don't think the US's consumer protection mechanisms work, and I'm happy to accept the downsides of the EU's systems that come with the upsides of regulation.

I still think this is an acceptable footgun (?) to have. The expressiveness of downloading an image tag with a domain included outweighs potential miscommunication issues.
For example, if you're on a team and you have documentation containing commands, but your docker config is outdated, you can accidentally pull from docker's global public registry.
A welcome change IMO would be removing global registries entirely, since it just makes it easier to tell where your image is coming from (but I severely doubt docker would ever consider this since it makes it fractionally easier to use their services)
free workers only get 100k reqs per day or something

Not that I or anyone has done it, but there is theoretically there is a way to enjoy these TV shows for free from companies one doesn't want to fund. sailing or something...

I don't really care if you're an astronaut, time traveler, or a 15 year old. AI slop prompted by anyone is slop, and I'm a human with limited time which I'd rather not waste on slop
at least this is opt-in (you must download the browser)
Microsoft's idea was to create the perfect database of screenshots for stealer log software to grab on every windows machine (opt-out originally afaik)
I guess you need an active developer license to write blog posts
fascinating idea, but no mention of android. Would one (like me!) simply be unable to use this car to its full extent?
they can choose who they do & don't want to do business with
Where's the B2B? they need to add SSO for teams
manufacturers aside, grapheneos and lineage work well because of Google's work on their phones
I agree that weebly is slowly burning, but it doesn't feel like the right choice to move from one closed vendor who's on maintenance mode to another that's new and might fail.
Just this week, I received a bug bounty from a company in bitcoin. No BS with banks or anything!*

individualism; I think people in our crazy state of states tend to be only interested in what they want, and no other interests
Second this! I use island which is pretty similar
it works on most flagships nowadays, so if you've got an okay phone, you're likely good
there's browser extensions that'll do it as well
it's wireguard that doesn't make me hate myself :)
