LLM subscriptions are heavily subsidized. I’d be surprised if Claude 20x costed the same after a decade.

This post is quite disingenuous. Both the title and body talk about it being free, but the actual readme on the repo says:
> […] default CPU limit on Workers is too small for it. wrangler.jsonc raises it, and raising it needs the paid plan, which is a few dollars a month. I haven't tried the free plan.

It’s not a criticism. The creators of these projects have most likely shopped around and used existing projects before deciding to build their own. I’m as interested in the “why” they built something as much as the project itself. Unfortunately, with LLMs, it looks like writing and communication skills have taken a hit.

LLMs are good at reading READMEs. They are absolutely horrendous at writing them.

This makes absolutely no sense. The API returns the exact content of the message, and has no idea where it possibly might be displayed. It could be another browser, so html tags will need to be sanitized, but it might as well be the terminal, so ansi escape codes will need to be sanitized instead.

Mildly disappointed that this has nothing to do with Unreal Engine, the popular game engine.

> it sounds like its an optional mode you have to enable
It’s opt-in because your photo is sent to Apple’s servers. Only if it were on-device should they even consider making it default.
> i guess you need internet to take a picture
Not really, internet is required to process the reference image, but that can happen later if you’re not currently connected.
> are complex hardware attacks really that important?
No, but the floor shouldn’t be “trivially exploitable” like C2PA[0]. It’d be interesting if there were a middle ground but we don’t have anything like that as of now.

Well written post, really enjoyed reading it.
> A single Go process exclusively accesses that database, and serves the control plane for those tailnets. This single-writer design is exactly how SQLite is meant to be used.
This line led me to believe that the writer and checkpointing logic lived on the same database connection, so I was curious to find out how the data race occurred. However, the bug details on the SQLite page[0] outline that it can only ever occur if there are multiple connections open, so the writer and the checkpointer must have been on different threads.

The author has a point, but at the same time is overly complicating things. Seeing that it is already available via cargo, all that is left to do is offer a .tar.gz bundle as well. In the case that the software actually becomes popular, someone else will package it for the distros in question.

> It may be that the 662 MB used by the "Renderer" is shared between many Windows components
From the screenshot in the article, this is the memory usage of the Renderer process spawned by the Weather App. I find it very unlikely that some other app (say, the Copilot app) can then piggyback on Weather Renderer process. Do you have a source for this?
> killing that Weather app may not reclaim as much space
Closing the weather app on my PC does in fact kill all child processes and frees up around 1GB of committed RAM. Are you not seeing the same?

Flora Incognita and PlantNet are not open source, so they cannot be published to F-Droid. However, iNaturalist is and the apk can be directly installed from the GitHub releases page.

No. I’ve heard this argument multiple times before - “let the human review and write tests” - and sure it might work, but this is almost never practiced. AI makes coding a lot faster, so no one is really ready to spend time on manual review and writing tests when LLMs can do that as well and take you most of the way.

How does this compare with solutions that currently exist to solve this problem, say for example ngrok?

Basically all of Graphene's RCS issues have been fixed[0]. Additionally, your stance seems somewhat unusual - GrapheneOS isn't only meant to be used by people that have "something to hide". As for explaining it to border guard - it's just Android - if you're unlocking your phone for them anyway, they definitely shouldn't care about what flavor of Android you're running, whether it's LineageOS, ColorOS, GrapheneOS, etc.
Of course, there might be more nuance to your situation than I am privy to, but almost everyone travels, and I'd heavily hope that being stopped at the border isn't the reason keeping them away from Graphene.
