I loved reading your comment and got curious: how he detected the bitflips?

Thank you!!

Wait a second, JS in James Webb Space Telescope?? Doing what? I'd love to hear about its usecases in the telescope. Is there any blog post about it?

Which firewall software do you use? I should probably start using firewalls in my computers as well...

Are you using a framework for developing with react native? I'd love to know if you have some blog posts on the UI part.

Thanks!

Thanks for a comment from outside of the bubble

I am going to start using this. Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you!!

First of all, thank you! What a treasure trove of data.

If I may ask a question, do you have historical air quality data?

If I may use your expertise a bit: I need air quality data for two cities, one of which doesn't have any air quality monitoring stations. Is there anything I can use as a proxy for air pollution, like satellite data? Also, do you know any sources for that data?

Thanks!

P.S.: I'm passionate about air quality, given I have alergies and was an active member of the bicycle activism movement for about 10 years.

this is legit awesome!

This is awful in so many ways

I just downloaded nixos for WSL2. Way easier than I thought. Thank you!

Hi, Vlad. We've met before, I'm the person whose 70-year-old mother is using Kagi. I also have actively been trying to move people to Kagi for some time - even paying for their accounts. The biggest block I face is not brand recognition. It's a lack of An Android app.

To move my mother to Kagi, I had to install Brave Browser on her android cell phone, make it the default browser on Android, change Brave's default search engine and create a desktop shortcut to it.

Android is ubiquitous in Brazil. I won't be able to move much people to Kagi with a process this involved.

Happy to chat further about this topic if you wish, privately or publicly.

I live in Brazil. The individual plan is arguably expensive around the global south.

But the family plan amounts to 3USD/person/month! I joined a bunch of friends and paid upfront for the yearly plan.

I even moved my 70-year-old mom to Kagi search so she wouldn't fall prey to clickbaits and scams. The extra peace of mind definitely paid off. I am going to move more people to Kagi in the coming months.

The only "feature request" I have is that it should be easier to switch to Kagi. The quotation marks because I know it's not up to them, but to the FCC lawsuit.

Also, if anyone from Kagi is reading, thanks so much for the great service you provide.

Just thanking you for your tips. I was looking for something after Authy's decision to discontinue the desktop version. This sounds like a great option.

I'm going to probably gnome authenticator on top of WSL2, because I like monstrosities.

This is so freaking insane! I love it!

Thanks! I'm going to recommend it for my students who are interested in tinkering with LLMs.

I just added Neo Store to my boox device. Thanks so much! It is great!

If you have any other recommendations, I'd gladly hear them.

Hey, thanks for the tip.

One issue, though: I took a look at the Cody website and it looks like one can't have unlimited completions even when self-hosting a LLM.

I understand you guys have a business model and need to make money out of it. I'm just asking because I work as a teacher and I have students who can't pay an extra subscription and/or students who want to hack into stuff.

jumping in on this bandwagon... I sometimes look https://youmightnotneedjquery.com when I forget how to do something with jQuery.

Also, do you know if there is a jQuery-like that actually throws exceptions? Having `$('.box').hide()` tell me there is no `.box` would be pretty useful.

And about WSL being a death rattle... I think it's the other way around. I have students who wouldn't touch Linux because they are already overwhelmed by learning all the complexities in web development, but WSL gives them a good playground. They can use all the available Ubuntu libraries, heck, they can even use quickemu inside Ubuntu inside Windows.

I think it's more of an embrace/extend/extinguish thing.

NVIDIA Broadcast.

I use it everyday, it's Windows only, and I didn't find an alternative as easy and "free" (it requires a Nvidia card, but there is no subscription. Unlike, say, Krisp.ai)

I did read the entire wall of text :)

And I'd like to share an anecdote - I installed Pop!_OS in a Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra (a combination of weird names) 2 days ago and I'm pleasantly surprised with everything that worked out of the box. The NVIDIA driver works, switching to Intel or NVIDIA works out of the box with zero issues. They even have a nifty command line tool, system76-power.

There are some rough edges. For example, the notebook's speakers do not work, but audio works via bluetooth or connected to a TV. Apparently, Linux Kernel 6.8 should solve that, and I could install it via PPA, but... I'm too afraid to do it. I got old, my primary job is no longer as a dev, and I don't want to spend all that time fixing a Linux system. The Arch Wiki for NVIDIA is incredibly detailed, but Pop!_OS... solves that out of the box.

That sounds like a great party story you have there! (at least, having seen RMS live once, I can imagine how "great" it went)

This is not the proper place to do it, but thanks for the great service. I've installed Kagi as the default search engine for my 70-year old mother who doesn't even speak English so she doesn't have to guess which results are ads.

So far, she is liking it.

I'm not who asked, but would like to thank you for the extremely detailed answer

Wow! I've never heard of a pen with a shutoff valve. Could you please share some recommendations?

When browsing the page for MobileView, I was very pleasantly surprised by the lack of a subscription option.

Not because I don't think you should be payed for your hard work, but because the extension being free allows me to recommend to any of my students - some of which are very poor.

Thanks!
