Seems like Kyber is dual-licensed AGPL and proprietary, seems like a pretty standard way to fund an open source project.

In that case wouldn't the blame lie in the smarty-pants person? When the web site says everywhere that it's beta quality?

The user is going to win after going out of their way to install an aftermarket binary blob on their deprecated thermostat? Seems like a stretch no?

This is for people who have already bought a nest and got burnt by the deprecation of their online services. Of course they could get another thermostat but then that'd just be more stuff for the landfills.

I don't get the hate, it looks like they reverse-engineered the nest thermostat and wrote a firmware for it? That's super cool and the fact that an open source project doesn't have a privacy policy yet doesn't really matter at this point

btw I've used neon for that and it worked well. Disclaimer: I have no relationship with them, I just have a shoestring budget.

Obviously you probably thought about it but what about rendering the subtitles on top of the video stream? Was there a reason it was not possible (e.g DRMs?)

Hey Filip – while we're talking about memory architecture, have you started looking at ARM's EMTE extension (e.g https://security.apple.com/blog/memory-integrity-enforcement...)? Could it eventually replace invisicaps?

Very strange logic. If we follow your example, going to the dealership and taking a car for a test drive is a rug pull because eventually the car dealer will ask you to pay for the car?

How is wanting to build software sustainably a rug pull? Like seriously, if you get value from orbstack, it's fair to pay them.
Otherwise you can still stick to free alternatives like colima which would be CLI only

If you read up on this story, you'd find out it's not run off the mill corruption. Sarkozy actually conspired with a foreign state – in particular with someone who directed a terror attack that killed 50 french citizens (!) – to fund his campaign.

I mean, it's not like you can get away with running with zero SREs if you're running in the cloud. The personnel costs for on-prem hosting are vastly exaggerated, especially if you contract out the actual annoying work to a colo.

If you look up their latest annual report (https://wikimediafoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/W...) you can see that they're allocating ~1.7% of their expenses towards hosting.
I doubt that they're getting "hugged to death" by AI scrapers.

A lot of it is because platforms need a wedge against AWS/Azure.
Take edge computing for example – most apps are CRUD apps that talk to a single database, but vendors keep pushing for running things on edge servers talking to databases with eventual consistency because hey, at least AWS doesn't offer that! (or it would cost you 10k/month to run that on AWS)

Sorry to self-promote but I did exactly that a few months back: https://khamidou.com/gpt2/
Generally, I think the Karpathy tutorials are a good starting point but they're very mathy (despite people telling you you only need high school math to understand llms, a lot of the abstractions and concepts he uses are a bit foreign to programmers).
I found out rebuilding inference of a known model taught me a lot more than passively sitting through the videos and maybe retyping his code. You should try it with something simple, like a model from a few years back!
