I think it could fit even more domains using a Bloom Filter or similar probabilistic data structure. With a chance of false-positives of course. But that's a trade-off the project already makes.

POI can run calculations. [1] That doesn't make it a full office suite but it does a lot.

Why wait? Book a flight to Yunnan, order a tasty mushroom soup or get a fresh batch from the markets.

Delegating stuff to Google (more recently AI) and repeating back the result, is one of my core functions at work next to programming.

A co-worker I'd just tell to RTFM when it's bothering me. Higher up the hierarchy, the egos are more fragile and I'm afraid the can't take it.

I tried Bun for a weekend around Christmas 2024. I quickly hit a bug that would freeze the runtime (issue #13237) when piping a stream into a file. I found that this had been open since August 2024, scrapped the experiment and moved on. The issue is open to this day. If the GitHub comments can be trusted, this behavior even carries over to the Rust port.

Sarcasm. (I guess)

Don't give them ideas.

> Oh and a Panel of 2 Opus 4.8 models is almost exactly as good as one Fable 5. That smells suspicious. Do we know if that might simply be what Anthropic is doing behind the curtain?

I wouldn't be surprised if Fable/Mythos is a model distilled from a Panel/Council of Claude instances. Recursive self improvement is something all AI labs must be working on in some way or another.

It makes sense to me.

When Google Search is quoting a 3rd-party website that happens to have bad information, that's not on them. Blame shifts to the 3rd-party. This is Google's privilege being a search engine.

When Google operates as an answer machine instead of a search engine, the privelege doesn't apply anymore. There's no 3rd-party to take the blame.

It still says "Always free" on the website for me. It's both on the billing page on the page linked in the article.

I do share the concerns though. The change in leadership, the poor transparency, 100% price increase and the quiet change in core values.

I was happy paying $10 yearly for Bitwarden. I'm still okay with $20 but there's a seed of doubt.

It's almost like they want me to switch to the Chinese clones - which they consider malicious actors.

> Germany sometimes bans entire political parties

You make it sound like Germany bans political parties every other year.

Germany formally only ever banned two parties:

- Socialist Reich Party (SRP), 1952 - Communist Party of Germany (KPD), 1956

For context: The Federal Republic of Germany was founded in 1949.

There are current discussions about banning - or evaluating a potential ban of - the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). If the ban went through (I think it won't), it would be the first in 70 years.

I assume Graphene is goning to be an option next to the default google-cerfified Android. Like Fairphone ships e/os as an option.

> Is beef tallow a better option for a cooking fat? I think it is.

Better compared to what? Better than refined canola? Probably. Better than good quality, cold-pressed vegetable oils? Probably not. It's not great for heart health.

Adapting DP to HDMI using the Synaptics VMM7100 chip is apparently the best (most feature complete) workaround for now. It's the same one that Intel uses in their Arc GPUs.

Splitgate 2 is scheduled to launch later this month.

This is especially valuable for friends who struggle with depression. They almost never feel like going out because depression sucks out all their energy. But they'll appreciate the invite and that they're not forgotten. It's harder this way for them to isolate and go deeper down the spiral.

One rule that helped me fight my depression was to accept invites no matter what. Go to the loud bar I don't like? I'm in. Cake decorating workshop with annoyingly cheerful Jennifer? Sign me up. Join Joel for his 5am workout? I'm not sleeping anyway.

You get the idea. But it can only work when others take the initiative.

> that aren't so far off the value of Chinese imports.

That is with EU import tariffs of up to 45.3% on "non-cooperating companies" (such as SAIC Group aka "MG").

Fairy dish soap is the European version of Dawn. I'd be surprised if the formulation were significantly different.

Attention is worth money. I assume they'll sell the accounts to scammers or political campaigns at some point.

Zero relevance to what/who? There are a lot of "older" people on Facebook who are on no other platform. Super useful for targeted advertising. X users are more likely to also use other social media like Instagram and TikTok. This is why companies can afford stop advertising on X without much issue.

This is just market forces at work, driven by the demand in China. There is money to be made, so business people (maybe incentivized by CCP) will find ways to avoid sanctions. Nvidia probably could do more to counter this. But why would they? On paper everything looks fine and they make money off it.

In Germany, 3 months notice is common but it depends on the individual contract and there's a maximum defined by law (depending on the years of employment). You also get to take your accrued paid leave before the end of the contract.

Apparently, it takes some time until the money is paid out.

From the article:

> Right now, it's unclear how or when victims will be repaid for losses. Broomes ordered "that restitution be finalized at a separate hearing within the next 90 days," the US Attorney's Office said.

no sane person would start a company ;)

He knows that and he regrets being that way.

  I turn on the TV
  And I don't like what I see
  There's an old punk rocker acting like a jerk
  And that jerk looks a lot like me

I think sodium batteries can take the place of LiFePo but classic LiPo will always be ahead in terms of energy/volume.

Reputable companies generally don't want to advertise in an environment that could be damaging to their brands. This is why Google/YouTube created the "advertiser-friendly content guidelines". For the same reason a number of big brands pulled their X.com/Twitter ad campaigns.
