well, it's nice, but the multi-lingual diff is rather limited (only European languages).

Also, this test is English-only, while a strong point of other models is to understand different languages without first having to say which one (so you don't need 3 different keyboard shortcuts if you wanna dictate in 3 languages day-to-day)

That's a very fair point, and Rust shares this fundamental issue as well.

That's where one better appreciate the work being done in Zig to get incremental compilation in milliseconds.

The choice of Python is quite interesting, and a big swing in the other direction.

It's cool, and all, but I'm exhausted by "No X, no Y — just/only Z".

Nice comparison, but those images are pretty heavy, making this website quite slow for me.

If you're in a country like France, where buying fans for your daughter's schools is not allowed [0], or installing your own store-bought AC unit either, making DIY devices seems the easy part, sadly.

New comment by jiehong in "Package Managers need global hooks"

jiehong — Tue, 23 Jun 2026 06:06:16 +0000

I agree with your premise.

I’d even say perhaps we need a fine grained permission system like Apple provides, but for clis, not just something limited to maintainers of package managers.

For those not trying, this allows Deepseek to understand a picture (instead of just extracting text from it), and it can describe what's in the picture, but this is not an image generation system, so you can't ask it to modify an image.

Personally, I'm a bit surprised the DS chat app still doesn't offer its own text to speech and speech to text features (I know DS doesn't have any ASR model for example, but there are quite a few in the open).

Came here to say exactly that: CSS was designed to be friendly and just ignore any line it doesn’t understand. It’s the whole point of browsers and progressive improvements.

Even more so for spoken-only languages.

Perhaps we should start to describe projects as Open Contributions from now on. With maybe a few Open Contributions Standards to distinguish how this works.

Perhaps the Go community should take a look at JEP or PEP to better document features and their life cycles and statuses overall.

New comment by jiehong in "Apple rejected my dictation app for using the accessibility API"

jiehong — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 14:54:23 +0000

Apple's own dictation is quite limited, doesn't handle multiple languages very well, and many open source dictation models simply do better.

New comment by jiehong in "Apple rejected my dictation app for using the accessibility API"

jiehong — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 14:52:13 +0000

Exactly. On iOS, it completely limits the market for a good dictation app with your keyboard, because iOS just doesn't allow you to.

New comment by jiehong in "Why are large language models so terrible at video games?"

Fair point, thanks for changing my point of view :)

Video games are made to entertain humans, so does it really matter whether LLMs are good at playing them?

It's not that easy. LSP does not have a standard way to expose things not specified. So, at best you need an LSP server exposing more + the LSP client to also understand it [2].

The best that comes to mind is nvim-jdtls [0].

Maybe at some point the LSP spec could be extended with more refactoring, or maybe there could be a open rewrite LSP server [1].

I wouldn't expect intellij to release a LSP server with all the refactoring tools, though.
