There's ongoing work on an official setup solution, "bitbake-setup". See https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/topic/111....
Shameless plug, there is also my own tool, yb. It's very early days though: https://github.com/Agilent/yb

Maybe to avoid broken links if you move the original files? That's the main benefit of hardlinks vs symlinks in my mind at least.

Relatedly, has anyone else noticed Doordash now has AI generated descriptions for menu items that the restaurant didn't manually describe? I noticed it while looking at a taco place by us.
For items with menu pictures, it gives a definitive description, e g. "Marinated pork with onions, cilantro, and pineapple, folded in a grilled tortilla. Served with lime wedges and a side of grilled jalapeño and sautéed onion."
For items without pictures, it hedges: "Folded flour tortilla filled with seasoned chicken and melted cheese, typically includes a blend of Mexican cheeses."
Part of me finds it pretty neat, but the other part wonders how long it will last.

I agree, but I'm curious if it's for the same reason. I like it because there is now flowery writing. Just direct "here are the facts".

Any chance you could expand on how the DAG is implemented in Rust for the execution engine? I'm trying to do something similar (not for spreadsheets but rather for a language: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/bitbake/bitbake-user-manual/bi...). I cannot find any good examples of how to implement something like this in Rust. E.g. should I use a graph library like petgraph, or roll my own?

The actual recognition is quite good. It's just the handling of poor/intermittent network issues that is abysmal.
Re:Three chips in and Google Tensor is on life support

I also have only had Pixels basically since they were released. I guess where I have issues is when the phone has a weak signal, and it insists on trying to use it for voice recognition rather than just falling back to local.
Re:Three chips in and Google Tensor is on life support
on Wednesday November 22, 2023 @10:39PM (#38388958)
I just want decent on-device voice recognition for things like asking the Assistant to send text messages. So tired of having to repeat myself 5 times.

If Google employees actually used the phones they build we wouldn't have a lot of the issues we have them. I'm still annoyed that the little weather icon on the home screen has about a 2x2 pixel hotbox.

Slightly unfortunate name (both for repo and submission title); I was hoping it had something to do with inspecting vim internals, e.g. for plugin authors.

From a cross-compiling standpoint, Makefiles are usually a nightmare. Please stop using them. CMake or Meson are infinitely better.
