Makes me wonder if all non memory safe code will be on the chopping block in the next 5 years. Will they find it morally justifiable to "protect" people from evil unsafe languages?

Let this be a reminder to never trust any service be it one ran by a billion dollar company, to one ran by volunteers. You will be eventually screwed over. Make backup plans, and self-host whatever you can so nothing can be taken from you. For Git forges, I personally recommend Gitea[1], or Forgejo[2] (a Gitea fork by Codeberg)

Most were powerlimited to a degree to get the most hash/watt out of them.

Why this instead of the opensource, well used, and trusted BTCPay that you can self-host and has 0% fees?

OpenComputers II is even crazier as it uses a RISC-V emulator to run a real Linux image.

It's amazing how great the 10 series was. The 1060, a budget card, had the same amount of VRAM as the previous generations top tier card (6GB) with the 1080Ti having 11GB! the 5060 for example has only 8GB, the same as the GTX 1070 and 1080.

> Supposedly from someone stepping on it in the cleanroom

I would be too embarrassed to return to work if I did that.

Are these performance improvements just for transpiling the Typescript to JS, or actually running programs written in Typescript?

fishgoesblub — Fri, 03 Jul 2026 21:51:28 +0000

I've been using SearXNG for a few years now, however I've been trying out Degoog as a SearXNG alternative since I've had issues with engines constantly failing or being slow since day 1 of using SearXNG, but Degoog has worse results with the same engines. It's a shame since I'm having to pick between slower but better results, or very fast but worse results.

Correct, HD DVD is the more obvious, and correct choice.

Was confused, thinking I somehow missed the release of the game Fable 4, only to be disappointed when I saw this is about Claude LLM crap.

Isn't being compressed as much. All Blurays are compressed either with MPEG2, VC1, H.264, or H.265 if it's an UHD Bluray.

This is great, I wish more studios would do the same with their games, and also under the GPL3.0

If I had a nickel for every time GitHub had issues, I'd be able to afford a nice stick of DDR5.

For all the issues with AI, these features aren't so bad. The "AI" search is possibly one of the more useful ones. That'll save me a fair bit of time.

They're still trying to figure that one out themselves.

It's a silly idea to not improve on things for something as "too many" formats. There's too many ARM processors out there, should companies stop development and keep using old, less efficient CPUs?

Apparently I need to check in with a Doctor because code written by myself is seen as AI, and the lazy AI bits aren't. More Human than Human?
