I don't like almonds and AI word-salads very much. Walnuts are yummy.
who cares about plagiarism? the biggest issue, as described by Terence Tao, is that AI companies don't understand the math they are publishing and do not devote any resources to answering questions about their methods after publishing results and getting a headline. they miss the whole point of mathematics. they do not contribute to the improvement of human understanding of math, perhaps because they are unable to.

what about throwing stones in glass houses now?
oh boy. aside from splitting hairs in a way that only an AI or a CS nerd could comprehend, are you defending masks now? masks? this theory has been disproven. there is one crazy person on each flight these days days who wears a mask. are you that person?

as for the researchers trying to stay in the good graces of the political machine, we don't need them. we survived for millennia without them. they can adapt. this reminds me of the french physics establishment that for decades rejected quantum mechanics because it did not come from france. they'll be ok. don't worry about the stupidities of researchers.

maybe you know about raccoon penises but i am not interested
Which of the 2 totally different beasts are the "Public-Private Partnerships" like Fauci NIH funded, to give one example?

It's definitely true that public research is underfunded. It would also need better leadership for more funding to matter.

Who cares about people that trust research because it has "public" or "private" label?

we'll never know
croc is great. been using it for unimportant transfers for years. If you want to donate money then start with syncthing which is decentralized and even more useful. could syncthing add croc-like command that was as simple and quick?
he seems consistent. did you like him in any of his iterations? probably not. so he consistently has value.
mackenzie scott should send this guy a few million for the public good.
Canada should make some rules to fix the lack of investment. If Canadians were not allowed to invest in American companies the problem would be solved.

A sheltered childhood would lead you to change your mind about anything if you saw someone spill a glass of milk. Emotions. Feelings.

How this solves sync seems useful. If you use Google Drive and KeePass clients you will probably run into conflicts between keepass "safe save" and how google drive does file versioning, resulting in runaway duplication of your kdbx files. I started using Syncthing and KeePass. File version conflicts are rare but still happen. Including sync in the app seems like a good idea.

It would be good to see screenshots of Bramble. The "sprawl of plugins and forks" in KeePass is why I use it. Many of the KeePass clients have modern UI's. I'll think about switching to Bramble when the sprawl begins.

It is a stupid comparison with a stupid anti capitalist agenda. All infrastructure in Switzerland is high quality and highly maintained because they are a tiny and wealthy country. Their wealth has something to do with banking. Maybe the author of the stupid blog post can ponder the relationship between free markets, banking, and wealth.
he is a self described pacifist. how nice to be him.
They make cool stuff but it's performance art. They're not a serious product company.
Awesome design as always but Teenage Engineering has zero product support. After they make and sell a product they move on to other cool ideas. If anything stops to function you are left with just form.

Vanilla OpenWRT runs Omnia (Marvell Armada). OpenWRT support for IPQ9574 is WIP. Omnia NG is IPQ9574.

Re:RISC-V Router on Thursday May 14, 2026 @05:22PM (#48141424)
Turris Omnia NG is also "open source" and has 2x 10 Gbps SFP+ and 4x 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports. StartWRT and Turris OS are both forks of OpenWRT, which is kind of annoying. The Turris project has been around a long time and has an active community.
It's astonishing that the left is upset about the SPLC being indicted for funneling money to white supremacist groups.
