Finally found a use for AI for me. A locally hosted Llama3 ist pretty okay at explaining Japanese sentences. (Lemmatization, Translation, etc)

@globalc Just had a try and it looks like llama3 is very bad at finding mistakes. Phi3 did pretty okay, might be worth trying out more.

AI has revolutionized customer support: it answered my question immediately and (I think) wrongly. Now I'm in a back and forth with a human customer support agent to clarify and he struggles to understand the question at all. 🫠

Really puzzled by how there is a TV adaptation of "The Decagon House Murders" on Japanese Hulu that hasn't been picked up by any western streaming service.

@janl No. Japanese only currently.

    @schwa @raycast I fear most if not nearly all macOS app logging/tracking anything, log the exact version at least accidentally. CFBundleVersion is part of the default URLSession user agent…

    @schwa @raycast They are calling ‘https://backend.raycast.com/api/v1/me’ on startup (mainly for their pro/trial features from the looks of the response) with your account token. That’s probably how they collected the data for their emails. (Not saying I like that, just sharing.)

    @krzyzanowskim thanks for the very interesting talk! Also loved how gracefully you handled the projector issues at the start.

    @krzyzanowskim We talked yesterday morning. 😅 (Martin Pittenauer, the guy from Germany with the long flight).

    New day, new Xcode problem: My UITests (even with a new, unmodified project) dont’t run (Xcode is stuck at „Testing…“), unless I disable „Execute in Parallel“.

    Any idea?

    @map@xoxo.zone avatar

    @below We had the same issue. (We just kept it disabled.)

    map,
    @map@xoxo.zone avatar

    @below Iirc it started on one machine and seemingly spread, so it might have been project or project metadata related.

    This interview with Linus Torvalds on the qualities that maintainers need (in contrast to developers) and maintainer fatigue summarizes a few things I keep bringing up:

    • maintenance is not "bugfixing" as a lesser/different kind of coding, it's about experience, about having done a lot of things to give context to what you are seeing and to have some understanding of what second order consequences a choice might have
    • maintenance is about collaboration and cooperation with others, about bridging gaps between contributors and their goals

    I'd have added that maintenance is #care work: Caring about and for the project/product and its development and sustainability, caring about and for the social structure that the project/product is built upon, caring about and for the people who will be using the product/project or who will otherwise be affected.

    #Maintenance doesn't work without empathy, about thinking through long term consequences.

    Move slow and fix stuff.

    (With some luck I and a collaborator might get some time to speak more about this at #rp24)

    @tante I agree with what is being said, but isn’t it a bit rich that Linus talks about “communication”, people skills and why it’s hard to find maintainers willing to work with him? Anyway, looking forward to your take on the topic.

    For some reason people seem to think people will wear Vision Pro outside on the street. Doubt it. Can't remember last time I saw someone walking around with a Quest 3...

    @cjk Not sure if YouTube videos are a good measure of what actually happens in reality.

    @map@xoxo.zone avatar

    @cjk Maybe I underestimate human capacity for stupidity. Will let you know when I see someone walking down the street with it on.

    @cjk Sorry I'm a cybertruck? Smells a hell lot like TikTok engagement bait.

    With Apple's VR glasses bringing in new people into the space I am a bit sad about how little of what XR can do they'll experience. As someone wrote: Apple does 2.5d.

    Not saying that the rest of the XR space has been that innovative in the last years. There was a lot of dicking around with tech and very little conceptual work dealing with the WHY of XR outside of obvious cases (VR for historical recreation, visualization of building plans, etc. You know the drill).

    I especially think that Apple's move away from haptics is bad.

    They have the best gesture recognition available but if the black mirrors we swipe around on all day have shown us one thing it's that it's not fulfilling enough and that touch, physically grasping something is important to us.

    @tante Idk. There's a lot of APIs for apps and sample code that shows you how to do cool stuff as an app. I'd rather let the OS step back and give apps the stage. And I am reminded how long it took to add copy&paste to iOS for example. Or in short: I'm optimistic.

    @map@xoxo.zone avatar

    @tante Bonjour/Rendezvous/ZeroConf comes to mind. Maybe I'm just too optimistic idk.
