Yes

SPA websites that go out of their way to make opening a link in a new tab difficult to impossible can well and truly go fuck themselves

Excited for this one! It’s been on my wishlist since at least a year

Haha same. First thought was: Have they actually ruined it even more?

How does a person film this and remain so calm? Do you just make peace with the fact that the next shell could be for you and that’s that?

What a cruel fucking nightmare

ML engineer here. My intuition says you won’t get better accuracy than with sentence template matching, provided your matching rules are free of contradictions. Of course, the downside is you need to remember (and teach others) the precise phrasing to trigger a certain intent. Refining your matching rules is probably a good task for a coding agent.

Back in the pre-LLM days, we used simpler statistical models for intent classification. These were way smaller and could easily run on CPU. Check out random forests or SVMs that take bags of words as input. You need enough examples though to train them on.

With an LLM you can reframe the problem as getting the model to generate the right ‘tool’ call. Most intents are a form of relation extraction: there’s an ‘action’ (verb) and one or more participants (subject, object, etc.). You could imagine a single tool definition (call it ‘SpeakerIntent’) that outputs the intent type (from an enum) as well as the arguments involved. Then you can link that to the final intent with some post-processing. There’s a 100M version of gemma3 that’s apparently not bad at tool calling.

So, I’ve been struggling to get used to the liquid aesthetic, much less like it.

But this… this is the first app that’s actually made it make sense. Absolutely beautiful!

It completely baffles me they didn’t just skip ahead a few years last season. The noticeable difference between the ages of the actors and the ages of their characters made it hard to take it seriously

Belgian here. Their wording is confusing and I’ve been trying to figure out how much of it is meaningful.

They tacked on a precondition to them recognizing Palestine: Hamas must give up power. I don’t see that condition being met faster than Israel can flatten what remains of Gaza and force its population out – which in turn only creates more suffering and anger for the militant recruit pipeline.

The sanctions mostly concern boycotts on products produced in occupied regions. Fuck that – boycott all trade with Israel.

Our rightwing prime minister is on record saying that the whole debate was annoyingly motivated by ‘morality’ and that he’s glad the government (an uneasy coalition) can move on to more important matters. Downright shameful.

Come protest this Sunday in Brussels. Last one was attended by 100k demonstrators. Was a fun afternoon. More info at 11.be

Top left is Get Out. Pretty decent thriller

I give it a spin every month or so to see how it’s getting on. I’m on macOS.

Every time I walk away unimpressed, despite its maker’s very deserved esteemed reputation.

I’m probably not seeing something. What I do see, however, is that I can’t search my scrollback history, nor can I select text without a mouse.

Also, pressing cmd+, on macOS opens the config inside TextEditor (yes, a separate GUI app) rather than in $EDITOR. It’s a small thing but I couldn’t figure out how to change it. Coming from Kitty, this drove me mad.

I’m not sure who Ghostty is for. My feeling is it’s aiming to be an excellent, polished experience for casual terminal users. But I didn’t see anything that Kitty or just tmux anywhere can’t do.

Literally me yesterday trying to decipher Baidu’s PaddleOCR docs. Have half a mind to aim Claude Code at the URL and just be like ‘plz help’

This was one of the worst-case outcomes simulated by experts, highly unlikely but bad enough to warrant evacuating the village ten days ago.

Whoever made that call must be extremely relieved right now.

My interpretation is that humankind (or in the comic’s universe ‘beingkind’) has in general been a nightmare for tens of thousands of species. We’re by far the most invasive species on the globe, we’ve destroyed entire ecosystems, we’ve created institutions of suffering, and we’ve driven countless species to extinction.

So yeah, there are probably a couple of species that would like to settle the score if they could

Been following Synergy for a while, hoping they’ll announce gamepad/steam deck support. The art style looks amazing!

Broke: file names have a max character length.

Woke: split b64-encoded data into numbered parts and add .part-1..n suffix to each file name.

Do not – and I really cannot stress this enough – give any of those bears cocaine

Now do ‘ocasional’… ‘ocassion— fuck, ‘occasionnall—

Screw it

What an awesome name for a cat!

Hahaha that second of hesitation right before the edge
