dzogchen··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
I feel a little salty about the plan changes. I wanted to upgrade to the $200 plan a day after it was blocked. Now it only includes half the usage unless for those that got grandfathered into the x20 usage.
dzogchen··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
Well, that's that the European Central Bank calls it. https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/digital_euro/html/index.en.ht...
dzogchen··on US sanctions force The Netherlands off Microsoft and toward alternative NixOS
Do you mean accelerate the digital euro plans?
dzogchen··on Go Concurrency Distilled
Ahh you got me. Finished the first chaper of the 'free online' Gist of Go book, then in the second chapter it turns out the first chapter was a freebie.
dzogchen··on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
The title says "Claude discovers" not "Anthropic discovers". The latter would be fair since they seemed to have funded the research. "Claude discovers" is just marketing hype.
dzogchen··on Mistral raises €3B
Yes it is...
dzogchen··on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Are Changing the Name of South Park to South America
Waiting for the Nitter link...
dzogchen··on deSEC – Free Secure DNS
> well worth the price of admission

A strange thing to say about something that is free

dzogchen··on Hacking with Claude on a $27 smart watch
I did exactly the same with my favorite 2014 Pebble app.

dzogchen··on After wearing the Pebble Time 2 for two weeks, I'll never buy another smartwatch
Cannot relate. I do not have notifications enabled on my Pebble.

I don't have any guilt over not having enough steps at the end of the day. But I am walking more thanks to my smartwatch.

I can start a timer in seconds when I am meditating, when I am cooking, when I am starting the watching machine. Also I have made a little app that shows me the weights and reps and sets I need to do for my powerlifting programme. I don't have to bring my phone to the gym. Lastly, I made a little app that shows me one thing I need to be doing for my morning routine or the next TODO on my todo list. A god send for someone suffering from ADHD.

dzogchen··on Road to Elm 1.0
Looks like for the first time in 7 years https://iselmdead.info/ is accurate.
dzogchen··on Organic Maps
‘Ads’ is a bit of a stretch. They put opt-in referral links.
dzogchen··on AI's Affordability Crisis
> To generate the $309 billion needed to service their debt, the AI industry will need to replace 46.8 million jobs, equivalent to around 27% of the current number of jobs in the US.

Lump of labour fallacy spotted.

dzogchen··on Leaving Mozilla
This. They learned nothing from Netscape.
dzogchen··on Apple decided not to roll out Siri in EU after denied request for exemption
There is a way to implement this functionality in an interoperable way that complies with the DMA. Apple just chose not to. Not because it's impossible to implement it in a privacy-respecting way, it just wants to lock people into their ecosystem, the exact thing DMA is protecting users against.

Apple realized its standard malicious compliance playbook won't fly this time, so now they're trying to sway public opinion by not rolling out this feature in the EU. It won't work. They're just going to lose market share and will have to backtrack when they do. Tech regulation doing its job.

dzogchen··on Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language
What's excellent about it is that almost all exercises do not just include the problem statement, but also an explanation of Elixir syntax and standard libraries. There's also a ton of resources to in-depth resources. And there are extensive dependencies configured between exercises so you learn everything in a gradual way.

So all in all, a lot of love and effort has been poured into the Elixir track specifically.

dzogchen··on Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language
The past month I have been going through the Elixir exercism.io track https://exercism.org/tracks/elixir

It is really excellent!

dzogchen··on AWS Fired the One Employee Who Gave a Damn
Why use an AI slop image in an article that complains about AI?
dzogchen··on Bun.Image
Pretty sure Java didn’t slop code its APIs in 1998.
dzogchen··on Remix 3 Beta Preview
Remix v3 uses TypeScript.

The philosophy is to not rely on heavyweight bundlers too much but to stay closer to the web platform. They don’t invent their own bundler, from what I can tell they are using esbuild.

And it is not that hard to imagine a better UI framework than React…

> And for what?

One benefit they mention is that staying closer to web APIs makes it more future proof. I believe it. React does not even ship an ESM build. It has given up trying to keep up and expects everyone to just bend over backwards to adapt to its sprawling, aging codebase.

dzogchen··on Six Years Perfecting Maps on WatchOS
I think this may not even be possible because Apple does not give access to the Metal graphics API on Apple Watch to third-party developers.
dzogchen··on I spent 6 years building my Kanban as I hated how managers run the boards
The best Kanban board is a physical one. You are also not going to be able to put 200 items on it.

That’s a feature, not a bug.

dzogchen··on Anna's Archive loses $322M Spotify piracy case without a fight

dzogchen··on Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
If this is using OpenStreetMap data, you should add attribution.
dzogchen··on SideX – A Tauri-based port of Visual Studio Code
What are you glad about exactly? This seems to be another big bang rewrite with LLMs. Fun but extremely unlikely to go anywhere.
dzogchen··on European alternatives to Google, Apple, Dropbox and 120 US apps
Clearly zero effort.
dzogchen··on The bot situation on the internet is worse than you could imagine
> we tend to take anti-bot measures very seriously

Should have have maybe prioritized differently...

dzogchen··on I hate: Programming Wayland applications
The name is pretty similar, but looks like there is where the similarities end.
dzogchen··on I hate: Programming Wayland applications
It is a damn shame that tools like xdotool (automation) and sxhkd (global keybinds) are impossible to recreate under Wayland.
dzogchen··on Do Not Turn Child Protection into Internet Access Control
It is just awful and the entire composition does not make sense. Why is there a globe in the sky? Why is the text ‘open access’ there which is a completely different topic?

No thought or skill went into that image besides the prompt that the author wrote in 10 seconds. It signals that the author probably didn’t put any effort in the article as well.
