That's good to hear. Let's hope there's hardware adoption on the camera end soon. As an image lib maintainer the codec wars were driving me nuts.

Is this the same patent/license nightmare as JPEG2000 ?

New comment by codingjoe in "Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?"

Same with Meta. The latter knowingly makes a substantial revenue from those ads. Unless a government steps it to make advertising platforms liable, there will be zero incentive for change

They put radio on the Internet... ¡Tres Comas!

Maybe we need more benchmarks that involve human collaboration instead of solo task solving.

Since they have become so capable the new bottleneck is what they can't know. The stuff that's inside people's brains who work in real companies with products and processes absent from any training set.

Q: aren't models trained to message templates using JSON for tool calls. Would a model inherently struggle with a different format?

Q: is there a measurable difference compared to harnesses with tool search?

What a wonderful skill. I hate the long and verbose do strings or docs LLMs spit out. This will make a great addition to my docu agent.

And I agree, maybe I should use this for my emails too

100%, it's not like adults are immune to misinformation, social media addiction or scams. Those platforms should be safe for all people regardless of their age, nationality, sexual orientation, gender or religion.

New comment by codingjoe in "What if we made advertising illegal?"

That's a valid point. Maybe better to have no ads at all.

Oh it's just saving me money during checkout

We could just start making it illegal to advertise to children. Without age verification, it's just a burden of proof with the advertiser that their ad isn't targeting children and a ban on age specific target groups for ad platforms.

Hm... But why not use Python

New comment by codingjoe in "Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests"

codingjoe — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 07:34:05 +0000

Given that you reuse Postgres' tests and LLM have been clearly trained on Postgres' three decades of contributions, this may constitute a license violation. Unless you include the original license of course. From a human level I also understand how you ended up with a less permissive license.

Yes, you can toggle a setting to use the network colors. I use it mostly for hiking. The UI is a learning curve, 100%, I am curious to check another tool

How is it different from OSMAnd?

Is that going into effect globally? It's hard to believe this will sit well with Japanese customers where second hand gaming markets are, dare I say it, culturally relevant.
