Do you have a store/list of public blueprints like sandstorm?

This gave me a chuckle, "PhD-level code" is gross actually. Have you ever looked at the code of research papers?

Exactly, this ruling makes Android stronger.

Very nice, here are the 11 Android features that must be made accessible to third party's: https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/developer-portal/in...

My favorites:

> 6. Structured on-device integration

> AI services will be able to easily interact with other apps installed on the device and perform tasks on behalf of the user within those apps, for tasks that the apps and the user have chosen to make available to AI services. These tasks include “send a message”, “create a note”, “schedule a meeting”. This includes access to certain Google apps (i.e.Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Maps, YouTube, Messages and Phone) that Alphabet will make available through operating system-level integration channels.

> [...]

> For instance, Android implements structured on-device integration through App Functions, which developers can enable for their apps, and which can be accessed by AI services without being reserved anymore for Google services, such as Google Assistant or Gemini.

> 7. Screen automation

> AI services will be able to automate multi-step tasks within apps, on behalf of the user upon their consent. They will do so by imitating user behaviour in a separate virtual window, which makes it possible for the assistant to complete the task in the background, while the user can do something else. [...]

> Android implements screen automation via Computer Control, which can automatically access apps, and which is currently reserved for Google’s services, such as Gemini.

> 9. System-level on-device models

> AI services will be able to call on existing on-device models (“ODMs”), including the Gemini Nano ODMs, that are part of the DMA designated operating system, already preinstalled on Android devices and already made accessible to third parties. As a result of the measures, third-party AI services will have guarantees of equal access (for example, in terms of performance) to ODMs, as Google’s services. [...]

> 10. On-device model implementation

> Third parties will be able to install, run and use on-device models (ODMs) under the same hardware‑resource and background‑execution conditions that Google’s own models enjoy, and will allow their ODMs to be shared centrally with other apps. [...]

If you want to store a git repo on S3, you can that with git-annex[1] today. It can do client side encryption and large files as well.

Notable:

  VibeThinker-3B is developed through a staged post-training pipeline built upon Qwen2.5-Coder-3B base, a compact 3B foundation model.

Qwen2.5 is ancient by LLM standards.

uBlock Origin Lite with MV3 works perfectly fine on Chrome. I don't notice a difference to the classic uBlock Origin, it even has a element zapper nowadays.

From every benchmark I've seen so far, Linux has always been faster than the BSDs.

For example, look at these benchmarks from 2003[1]. The newest benchmarks I could find[2], [3] point in the same direction.
