No joy for us: it was a wheather balloon https://arstechnica.com/space/...

I remember a decade ago a new phone (can't remember if it was a nokia) with a super camera and in the reflection of a picture you can see the photographer with a huge DSLR, it was fantastic, a ENHANCE CSI situation searched: 2012 https://fstoppers.com/product/...

I am fighting with Claude 4 and ChatGPT 4.1 using them in VSCode with Copilot as an Agent (Gemini 2.5 pro fails every time), everything is fine, but they can't figure out a simple PHP application with everything explained in a nice file ,every url is wrong, uses differents patterns of design in every page, broke stuff that worked, iterates in useless testing code that never works and more. So, probably you don't need to test an AI in a precise exercise but in a real world application, an useful one, there's the place where it belongs and it works awfuly bad at it, i need the AI to follow the instructions and not take every damn wrong path nobody is telling it to take :P

Nobody needs Android 16 now, it's not a huge impacto, it's not a huge blow, if you want a Custom ROM probably the new additions to A16 aren't relevant, you want freedom, not fancy animations or bubbles in the screen. So, yes, probably it's going to be a little "older" but still free to use without the few new things nobody cares about

As you can imagine doing this does not improve anything, it gets worst year by year, now in some provinces of my country childs ends the school without reading well or doing math or whatever, nobody can lose a year so they go through without learning because there's no reason to study, just pass and pass and pass. It's the worst education nightmare, the way to convert a country in a poor third world one like mine. But, hey! the numbers are fantastic! nobody is left behind if you lower your standards!

This is fun but If you want to correct a text in an AI model, it usually uses semicolons all the time. So people will stop using them, but the proofreading AI will reinstate them.

Prompt engineering it's just learn to express things by yourself, it means you need to write exactly what you want and any LLM will understand you. The catch? Many juniors can't write what they want, they doesn't care about reading or writing, so... in the short term oldies will keep their jobs. If you had a good education and are not an alienated introvert, you'll be an "expert" with AI, just because you understand a problem and can ask, full of details, what you really want.

Mozilla is wasting money in programs that aren't about web browsing at all, they have the size of a company without the income needed for that, they should reduce the size and only dedicate their effort to the browser development, but they grow and grow just to spend Google's money in their own personal benefit. That's the real reason Mozilla it's going to collapse, not the deal with Google, the waste of money they did not have.

This feature existed a few years ago, then Mozilla deleted it because "nobody used it", and then Chrome copied it. I used it a lot because of work, now I can use it again, great for me!

yup: https://idle.slashdot.org/stor...

C'mon, if Chrome where an independient open and free source browser, then we'll never need something like this, but it doesn't, it's the product of the main culprit of the privacy lost on the internet, Google decides everything and they want to share our data and our private data to everyone else. Firefox is following this because the mismanagement at Mozilla, so soon we'll have no option and nobody will do a damn thing about it.

Nothing you say is real No need of paid tools, there's a ton of tools, you can add cache without cost, add Redis connection with just a click and so on. Only the Anti Spam, Akismet, is semi-paid (provided by Wordpress unless you have ads on your site), and you can put whaterver you want on it, you are not forced to use anything extra. It's relatively easy to mantain (if you know a little) and the refactoring thing doesn't happen often. Its versatile, you can use it or develop from zero your own CMS, but clients need a speedy option and they pay for it, so the huge ecosystem it has is really good for bussiness, and the openess it's a plus, you can develop whatever you want over it and keep it working, it's just PHP and MySQL, pretty easy.

yup, i agree with you

Do we have UTF-8 at our disposal? Álvarez Ãlvarez its not that difficult, every charset has accents :P

or... you can have your own blog for A LOT LESS, publish free to everyone and stop thinking magically you are gonna get paid for writing stuff (only), i'm on my 22 year doing it and it's still fantastic (and i even use my own CMS since 2002), just saying, with these models, Medium, Substack, Ghost, you always depends on a third party to have your own content online, I still prefer to have absolut control, a VPS is cheaper, installing it with Wordpress is trivial.
