ebri··on US strikes $1.2B deal to pay German firm to halt offshore wind projects
I wish I had not read this. I am not kidding when I say this is ruining my day thinking about. One thing is they ruin our times. But they are in the game of ruining the rest of time for humankind, too.
ebri··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
Are you like 90? Sound like my Granddad. He’s not saying anyone owes him anything. Stop being a boomer without a cause.
ebri··on Astral to Join OpenAI
I will start migrating from uv, ty and ruff first thing this weekend. It will be painful but not being dependent on OpenAI will be more than worth it.
ebri··on Systems Programming with Zig
That’s a pretty low confidence if we measure confidence in dollars willing to risk
ebri··on Uv: Running a script with dependencies
Could you tell me how you do this in code ? Started using uv in a very old school team and they don’t like uv simply because it’s new. Something like this is what they base it on.
ebri··on Big Book of R
Been working 8 years with Rs data.table package in research and now after I changed to the private sector I have to use python and pandas. Pandas are so terrible compared to data.table it defies belief. Even tidyverse is better than pandas which is saying something. I miss it so much
ebri··on Show HN: A personal YouTube frontend based on yt-dlp
Stop this you’re getting yt dlp shut down you dimwit
ebri··on Apple lashes out at iPhone porn app maker and the EU rules allowing its download
Yes it pretty much is. This is why your comparison doesn’t work that well. Also in a physical store you can’t shield the rest of the customers from the content some want but others don’t. So your companies no sense really.
ebri··on Everyone knows your location: tracking myself down through in-app ads
How do you do this? This is genius
ebri··on Waydroid – Android in a Linux container
anything like this for x11?
ebri··on Zen, a Arc-like open-source browser based on the Firefox engine
I'll take qutebrowser any day. Best damn thing I've learned to use since (n)vim.
ebri··on Show HN: If YouTube had actual channels
There is a bug when using qutebrowser (using arch linux) - when turning on the sound, the TV turns off (e.g. goes to black-and-white-noise-mode). When turning off the sound, the TV turns on again.

On google chrome, all is well. Just for FYI :) very cool project!

ebri··on The Swift compiler is slow due to how types are inferred
All those Swiftie haters
ebri··on A word game I built to understand semantic distance
Me neither.
ebri··on Searchformer: Beyond A* – Better planning with transformers via search dynamics
yes I want to learn about this too! Hadn't thought about it like that.
ebri··on The killer app of Gemini Pro 1.5 is using video as an input
This seems very very interesting. I'm still learning python so probably can't build on this. But like a cheap mans' version of this would be to take a screenshot every couple of minutes, OCR it and send to it gpt for some kind of processing (or not, just keep it as a log). Right? Or am I missing something?
ebri··on Add coffee stains to LaTeX documents (2021)
Me too. What a wordsmith, I am in awe! not being sarcastic, I really do appreciate it
ebri··on Hans Reiser on ReiserFS Deprecation
It was, thanks
ebri··on Show HN: Citadel – a Calibre-compatible eBook management app
Cudos for having Andreas malm at the front of the git repo ! :)
