There is Buz effort to do this which might be worked at, behind the scenes: https://github.com/jazzzooo/buz
(I'm looking forward to looking into Zig)
Being about 'AI' is mandatory now, I guess?
Why not for small tech and individuals?
Is there a law or something? :)
Oh. It's the essence of the common meaning of it, right?
I expected the link [1] to be to the explaination of what "black pilled" means, but only because I already read and remember xkcd 1053.
> modern Zig
Do they mean more modern than the latest tagged release, 0.16.0, released April 14, 2026?
Do yo have links handy for AI-assisted engineering going positively? The case I have on my mind of it going negatively is this recent Ford case [1] It's not that I believe it couldn't go positively, of course.

I guess it is still legal?
I heard from a fan of Erlang that Elixir was made by people who don't really understand Erlang who reworked it/BEAM to be in the style of Ruby; that made it popular even though it's an abomination. What do you think?

I fail do imagine what kind of world is he implying.
Thanks for sharing your insight.
Mind if I ask you for a few vibe coding tips? I failed to solve you gh puzzle in the profile though.
> This is a neat idea that has been tried about 300 times over
Could you share the top 3 attempts that tried it and are better at it? I only know that things like this should exist, but didn't look any further into this class of things, yet.
My idea of what to look into is some kind of CRM for my personal contacts.
Interestingly, I (in my 20s back then) also asked the question in the early 2000's.
I had a CS background.
Could you please explain exactly why you think no one you know uses Mastodon? I'm trying to figure it out. I, personally am hesitant to use it first and foremost because Mastodon (and many of its lesser known alternatives) is a variant of micro-blogging (I'm appalled how extending character limit beyond 500 apparently counts as a feature in Fediverse!)
What do you mean by 'the fediverse that missed the Twitter alternative'? I thought Mastodon is the Twitter alternative. Sorry; I didn't het it.
I can see some Fossil Gen 6's on eBay in the US. (I only learned about AsteroidOS today and I'm not in the US)
Er, do you think that's a poor choice?
What's done is done; but I was pissed and am not a native English speaker, so I asked LLM to reword what I wanted to say in a polite and proper way, so that as many people as possible could support it.
Is it ok?
On January, 3, 2026, Telegram messenger, which I use a lot, introduced AI Summaries [1] for all posts after January, 3, 2026 with no way to switch them off; neither for the readers nor for channel admins.
I find it unacceptable and filed a bug report about that (marking that as an issue; not feature request, which in my view it is), requesting for this feature to be opt-in.

I, on the other hand, turned off YouTube recomendations with UnDistracted. Maybe I'm missing out; who knows.
How easy is it to become their (Cerebras) paying customer? Last time I looked, they seemed to be in closed beta or something.
Apparently, yes.
Apparently, they present a curated set of texts.
I am all ready to believe that with LLMs it's not worth it trying to be too coherent: I did successfully use LLMs to make sense of what incoherent-sounding people say. (in text)
Thanks for the advice! Could you please share how did you enable voice transcription for your setup and what it actually is?
For the one disinclined to get into closed source, proprietary tools, what is the next best thing to try?
I heard of Cline and Aider, but didn't try anything.
I doubt there will ever be a market for a device with this specific (or many other kinds of other specific) set of requirements, especially if one insists on that 'last bit of polish'. Short of fully developed molecular nanotechnology or similar, allowing economic manufacturing of bespoke hardware in single copies, which is another world from the one we live in, I don't see such wishes come true, so the author (and others like him) will have to settle for something else.
> If you think you (or a loved one) may have a psychological condition, go to a psychologist and get a screening. The diagnosis isn't the important part. The value is in the 20-something pages of detailed analysis by a professional.
Throughout my entire interaction with psychiatry (years, on and off) I never figured this is a thing. Go figure.
Funny thing, taking into account the state of affairs in the country: CachyOS mirror for Russia is
