There's also OsmAnd for mobile.

I watched the first ~10 minutes, thought "wow this guy really knows his stuff", turns out he worked on Apple's System 7 and their Human Interface Guidelines, UX director for Symbian, Google, and a bunch more stuff.

Fascinating, but sadly LLM-assisted writing.

edit: and apparently AI-generated site layout too. Either it doesn't bother me as much as the writing, or I haven't seen enough examples, but I didn't notice that.

It looks very wide in the unfolded configuration.

I really wish I understood this, it hits a bunch of topics that I've heard of and are/sound interesting, but I don't know enough to follow it. I don't get the link between the NX bit (which I get) and speculative access.

I know this is flagged, and I know the guidelines say not to complain about tangential annoyances, but the reason given is that "they're too common to be interesting" -- but is that true about LLM-written articles? A case could be made that it will only become more true if nobody objects.

I don't know what it is about LLM writing style, but I agree, it just triggers something in my brain and I can't get myself to read it.

android-latest-release branch (Android 16 QPR2) for lunch target aosp_cf_x86_64_phone-trunk_staging-eng (Cuttlefish emulator):

> du -hs --exclude /aosp/android-latest-release/out /aosp/android-latest-release

132G /aosp/android-latest-release

> du -hs /aosp/android-latest-release/out

127G /aosp/android-latest-release/out

So ~130GB each for the compiled artifacts and the source code. It's heavy, and at times can easily fill 64GB of RAM during the build.

Why is the original pattern (with the env var in double quotes) not vulnerable? Why can you close the single quotes early but you can't just include double quotes in your title? Is it something to do with the GitHub templating?

This is almost exactly this website [0] which is also on the frontpage of HN. Wow.

Well, both, probably. GrapheneOS requires a lot of framework and device side changes.

I remember seeing a video where someone was talking about how from someone on the YouTube team said that their goal is for you to to replace the word “algorithm” with “audience”.

Whether they achieve that goal or not is a different story.

I agree I run the risk of being wrong and could at least provide some evidence, but I think at the very least it can be one additional piece of information someone could use in their consumption of this content.

LLM-written article.

Are these reasoning blobs the reason ChatGPT always requests to “store data in persistent storage”?

I love you

Does that website blocking work for browsers other than Safari?

Back to Nix again? I remember one of their employees had a great video series on it, but then they stopped using it because it was too complicated.

I’m running the risk of just getting an AI response back, but:

How are you able to boot Debian from an SD card, and without unlocking the bootloader?

Does the bootloader look for an OS on SD card by default? SD and eMMC are basically the same thing, is it just the same lines but an SD card takes priority over the eMMC? And does it not enforce verified boot properly / at all? Maybe being a Rockchip and not MTK/QCOM has something to do with it, but it’s still an Android device and I would assume there’s something in CTS/VTS/GMS licensing that makes verified boot mandatory.

There’s SELinux, everything is mounted nosuid, barely anything runs as root except init. I doubt it.

Wow, Tinkertoys, I still remember how the wood smelled and the big drum it came in.

I think you’ve misread my comment, I’m saying that thock does indeed work as a filter in the search bar!

As someone who doesn't pay much attention to the world of mechanical keyboards, very happy that I can use "thock" as a filter.

EDIT: A quick Google shows it's a pretty popular term, so I guess that's how I even know about it, the only other mechanical keyboard term in my vocabulary being "Cherry MX Blue clicky switches" for the ones on my AliExpress mechanical keyboard that prevent me from using the keyboard around other people. Unfortunately it also makes it difficult to hear the keyboard sounds without clicking on the letters instead :(

Or similar/clones, like the Atten ST-862D.

Interesting, but is the required combination of EML gates less complex than using other primitives?

I guess I could see that, but if all the water left, it could be dry like a desert too.. (although even though that was my initial interpretation, I did understand that's not what he meant)

And yes even without the reference it's not that there's a literal animal there.

I actually don’t understand the meaning of that sentence in Dickens fully either.

> As much mud in the streets, as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a Megalosaurus, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up Holborn Hill.

Why does “as if the waters had but newly retired” mean there’s a lot of water (and thus mud)? “As much mud as” clued me in, but I don’t get this part.

And apparently it’s also referencing not just some flood but the flood of Noah’s Ark from the Bible, which is why you might happen to see a dinosaur because it was such a long time ago. I guess I don’t come across many opportunities to think of / that remind me of Noah’s Ark because I didn’t think of that either.

The beta site was a horrible redesign. It hid information that was previously visible, the layout was confusing, comments were harder to read, and it just made no sense.

A 2GB RAM (and no EMMC) Raspberry Pi 5 in Canada is $90. Around $150 is where you can get used N100 Mini PCs with a proper SSD, and at least 8GB of RAM. It’s crazy.

AI-written article?
