johanyc··on Who's afraid of Chinese models?
> model providers only allow you to use their subsidized plans through their own harnesses

true for anthropic, not true for openai.

Isn't it just slang? Foobar be like ...
johanyc··on Show HN: TV Time to Serializd Importer
is this open source?
johanyc··on If you're a button, you have one job
It's not that iphone keeps that 4; it's that iphone pretty quickly starts accepting the next round of input after 1123 and then you type 4.

Perhaps a longer pause will prevent you from typing that 4 but that also means other people who mistype their passcode have to wait longer to retry. It's a tradeoff. I suspect there are more people who type the wrong passcode of the correct length than the incorrect length.

comaps is a fork of organic maps

TACO. What can you expect lol
johanyc··on Why does kinetic energy increase quadratically, not linearly, with speed? (2011)
That's mnemonic not intuition.
johanyc··on FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model
No it's pretty good. Pretty much always accurate. Was that years ago? Or are you talking about languages with less resources?

Still live lol
johanyc··on Storied Colors – A catalogue of named colors
I don't think it is a case that llm happens to create similar stuff. Either both are made by the same person or one is a copycat of the other.

What are the odds of both websites showing the same color today (Cochineal and 胭脂)?

And both use Roman numerals MMXXVI ? It makes no sense to use that in a "Chinese" color website.

johanyc··on TinyWind: A pixel pirate sailing game with real wind physics (380k+ kms sailed)
Yeah it's an arcade game. You can steer the ship as fast as you can turn a car too. Not real at all

> Should you be able to use a Samsung SoC in an Apple phone?

That's irrelevant to the discussion. SoC is not a digital platform in any way under DMA. It's not a platform at all.

johanyc··on It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12
the apple way to upgrade is to sell your old neo and buy neo 2. I wonder if the math changes when we take long term use into account
johanyc··on RSS feeds send me more traffic than Google
Do you get spam at that email address? I have not published mine because I hate spam
johanyc··on RSS feeds send me more traffic than Google
Are there existing good implementations of that? Does Feedly have that?
johanyc··on RSS feeds send me more traffic than Google
No. I knew it's data point for one website only and I'm still interested.
johanyc··on Google Cloud fraud defense, the next evolution of reCAPTCHA
yeah. webpages now load so slow just because i have to wait for the captcha
johanyc··on Google Cloud fraud defense, the next evolution of reCAPTCHA
> Why would bots "overwhelm" a site is another discussion — I find it really hard to create a website that would be "overwhelmed" by traffic these days, computers are stupidly fast.

are the cloudflare walls really about reducing load? I thought it's because bots are not profitable. They don't click on ads, don't buy, etc.

johanyc··on iOS 27 is adding a 'Create a Pass' button to Apple Wallet
> A few places where we still help, even after iOS 27 ships:

> Google Wallet. Create a Pass is iPhone-only. Roughly half of the wallet-using world is on Android, and our generator builds Google Wallet passes from the same form.

I was thinking about this app. Couldn't recall the name

Apple wallet proactively shows your event pass when it's time. Much better than trying to find the photo from your camera roll
johanyc··on Microsoft Edge stores all passwords in memory in clear text, even when unused
Why did you stop?

Tbf the point of the post is the "even when unused" part. A memory store is still a store.

Spotlight exists. Typing is much faster than moving your cursor to a small target like a menu bar item.
