A grandma wouldn't call it Qwen, she would call it ChatGPT

Yes, calling a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) a "Nintendo" may have made sense in 1989 or 1990, but not in 2026.

Sounds like your project is for southern American English presumably including African-American Vernacular English (AAVE), and for regional accents in the African continent specifically for the English language.

But tangentially related, for non-English languages of the African continent, the Gates Foundation are pledging some grants to improve AI access outside of English-speaking regions: https://news.bpdata.com/article/gates-foundation-pledges-1-b...

Despite being focused on English, your project could be of interest for their funding. It's probably worth reaching out to let them know about your work.

Was skim-reading this thinking all the stories sounded made up then scrolled back up and saw

> This is a work of fiction.

Oh I was looking for something like this and was disappointed it didn't exist.

Thanks for making it!

Yep first thing I thought too

> Coney Island gets its name most likely from the Dutch settlers who called it Conijnen Eylandt or Konijn Eylandt, meaning "Rabbit Island", because the area once had a large population of wild rabbits

Rabbits were a common staple food source in Australia until 1950s when the myxoma virus was released which causes the disease myxomatosis.

The graph in the article is very interesting and worth pondering

Power management (ACPI) in desktop computers also arrived in the late 1990s. Power saving sleep modes have a big impact.

Computer fleets across a country do not upgrade immediately so the lag may contribute.

And ACPI was just one energy saving initiative of that era.

Yep I also share the frustrations with ASUS Merlin dropping support for older devices too quickly. Probably my biggest criticism of the project.

I used to use dd-wrt, but I later settled on ASUS routers, and installing "ASUS Merlin" firmware on them.

I find ASUS hardware high quality in general. And using an open-source project like ASUS Merlin means the pain-points and limitations that I would face with stock firmware have been resolved to (at least to satisfactory extent) when I need reach for the hacker type configurations.

What about looking for insider trading activity?

Similar to transaction on betting markets like Kalshi.

It's always nice to have local git clone backups/mirrors of these projects because they may eventually be taken down through legal threats eg, Yuzu and Ryujinx.

I cancelled my JetBrains subscription a year ago when they announced price increases.

The quality of their software has been falling despite all recurring revenue. I used JetBrains for almost a decade because it just worked. JetBrains Toolbox is some of the worst software I've used, it causes more problems that it solves for me.

Needing to install a different IDE per language is also something I dislike about JetBrains, but not a deal breaker.

This is a famous documentary from him: https://youtu.be/toSRmKKiosQ?is=kj1fkHSfpGsLoBVf

I stopped buying Chromebooks and switched to MacBooks after my fantastic Samsung Chromebook Plus ARM units stopped getting updates after a few years, around the same time the 10 year from release support commitment for new devices was made.

Unfortunately Samsung no longer make Chromebooks, they had some fantastic hardware.

A big part of what makes Australia a better performing economy is maintaining high population growth rate of 1.5%, mostly through immigration.

Has had implications on housing affordability, but it's great for GDP statistics.

Damn a video game spoiler warning, guess I can't read the rest of the article.

I may feed it into an LLM to strip out the spoilers actually

Article being referenced boils down to a description of OpenAI models using folder names on an Artifactory instance to send messages to each other (instead of being sandboxed as intended), and that being used for the agents to coordinate during the OpenAI intrusion on HuggingFace.

Then subsequent runs with newer models discovering the old messages.

With the commentary from this investor being that this article/event will be referenced by the closed-source model providers to advance legal restrictions on open-weight AI models, because that benefits the closed-weight model providers.

As open-source hardware they are on AliExpress no problem

I wonder the dropoff for launch titles versus on-going new releases.

On this topic, I highly recommend the New York Transit Museum

I feel like the best Beatles songs are yet to be written.

Or alternatively best classic Simpsons episodes are yet to be made.

A better designed system could be driven by warrants issued by courts, without (or at least minimal) access to individual officers.

It requires better access controls.

Even invasive ideas like automated license plate scanning city-wide can have its data only accessible to an API to eg, track a stolen car across the city to avoid a dangerous high-speed chase in populated areas.

I think to throw the baby out with the bathwater around networked security cameras is failure around designing robust and secure APIs and systems (including audit trails).

Are there any privacy-first security camera provider where it's the city that manages data access and uses it purely for local law enforcement purposes?

Sounds like the second stage delivered a payload to orbit (of unknown mass).

Recovery of first stage is therefore very impressive.

Though in context it's 11.5 years after SpaceX achieved a similar feat with their Orbcomm OG2 mission in December 2015.

I understand it's a mild autoimmune disorder, manageable with diet and blood tests.

It's not a terminal illness or anything.

They'll be a Mandela Effect from this story I'm sure.

This sort of discussion is more suited to Reddit, but lookup the Dolphin emulator

In 5-10 years, incremental cloud tokens will be far cheaper (likely but not guaranteed).
