have you tried sleeping?

crates.io: Rust Package Registry
crates.io serves as a central registry for sharing crates, which are packages or libraries written in Rust that you can use to enhance your projects
Mine obeys the instruction to use British English but not the one to avoid those phrases, so says "belt and braces"
June 19, 2026 at 7:55 AM UTCIt didn't. Firefox's translation uses a local LLM. Not quite as good as Google, but much better for privacy. There was no built-in translation before that. You needed extensions that called an external service. LLMs are by far the best tech for translation. That's what they were invented for.
June 19, 2026 at 7:52 AM UTCI missed the most important, perennial one on Bluesky: - I don't understand the concept of "jokes"
June 18, 2026 at 11:51 AM UTCTaxonomy of angry replies to this: - I don't understand the joke and am very angry about this - my father is dead - my father is bad - you didn't mention single dads on mothers day - you ban too much/not enough - edit button
June 18, 2026 at 11:35 AM UTCThe odds on Reform UK winning the Makerfield by-election seem absurdly generous right now. A tenner would win you £90 on Betfair, which would be enough to drink yourself into oblivion if the worst should happen.
Hey, look, a silly post from the @bsky.app account that absolutely nobody could get super irrationally angry about! right?
June 17, 2026 at 8:11 PM UTCThere's no way to login to the Bluesky app without username/password, even if the PDS uses passkeys. However you *can* authenticate third party OAuth services with just a passkey if the PDS allows it.
June 17, 2026 at 4:20 PM UTCIt does if most of your valuation is based on AI but you don't actually really do much actual AI except a vibe coding thing everyone's forgotten about and two good npm packages
June 16, 2026 at 10:26 PM UTCBut you know better than anyone that that telemetry is absolute gold! And they're also getting the ability to push their discovery skill to everybody. Controlling the default way to install skills – and for most people to not even realise they're controlling it – is amazing.
June 16, 2026 at 10:11 PM UTCAmazing work by Vercel there. They get to advertise their own "skill discovery" skill to everyone, and they get all the lovely analytics on skill usage. All for maybe $10k?
June 16, 2026 at 9:49 PM UTCThis is the downsides to lexicons. It does make defining data types feel very high stakes
June 16, 2026 at 9:38 PM UTCThe greatest luxury that I get from my having a good salary is not knowing my bank balance to the penny every day.
June 16, 2026 at 9:09 PM UTCThere has been a lot of research into how once somebody has tied their identity to a belief that strongly, evidence to the contrary only makes them double down. As it gets harder to rationally support more of these beliefs I fear we'll see them go further off the deep end into conspiracy
June 16, 2026 at 9:00 PM UTCOh there are plenty of people, deep in the Zitron replies, who insist the open source model hosts are somehow in on it and also selling at a loss for...unclear reasons. To be clear I have no inside information on Cloudflare's costs for serving these, but we're not a charity.
June 16, 2026 at 8:18 PM UTCA had to stifle my laughter, having six(!) people turn up from the parish and county councils bearing clipboards and hi-vis to complain about a fence, clearly raring for an argument, and seeing them visibly deflate when I was super friendly and helpful and immediately agreed to their requests.
June 16, 2026 at 9:44 AM UTCI'm not sure module-replacements should be including packages like this where there are multiple trade-offs and not one that is strictly better
June 15, 2026 at 8:00 PM UTCThis isn't about banks, this is about Facebook AI slop aimed at boomers that happened to use a post about banks as the example image.
June 15, 2026 at 12:52 PM UTCNobody is saying they only discovered it today. Most started using it 10-15 years ago – so 5-10 years after it was released. That's late adopter for tech by any standard.
June 15, 2026 at 12:50 PM UTCSomebody recently wrote a blog about exactly this and I can't for the life of me remember who. The tl;dr was let people choose. Don't use the bsky graph in your app, but do use it when on-boarding to suggest people to follow. This lets people maintain separate graphs for different things. I agree.
June 14, 2026 at 5:13 PM UTCAmazing quote in the FT from a Makerfield voter. Supports the far right, but *still* wants Burnham to win. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
If you think a little about it you'll realise it doesn't make sense, and maybe instead of being a funny paradox it's just factually incorrect. Europeans wanted spices because they used lots of spices, and still do. And the countries that had the empires are the ones that use the most spices.
June 13, 2026 at 10:10 PM UTCI can't speak for other companies, but at Cloudflare we already had no hard limits on our use of any models for security research. I would imagine others are similar. I spent thousands on hardening EmDash before launch.
June 13, 2026 at 10:08 AM UTCNeil Houlsby and Amanda Askell simultaneously turn their keys and the lift begins to slowly descend towards the vault, deep below Anthropic Zurich.
June 13, 2026 at 8:55 AM UTCUsing export controls rather than just banning it does seem uncharacteristically smart. I'd imagine they have a lot more leeway there.
June 13, 2026 at 7:36 AM UTCThe media really seems to be missing the significance of the Fable ban. The FT is the only major news outlet that I've looked at this morning that gives it any kind of prominence.
June 13, 2026 at 7:32 AM UTCI dunno. This is a really, really bad decision, but I do know that large parts of the industry have spent the last couple of months working non-stop to fix a deluge of Mythos vulns at a scale far beyond earlier models.
June 13, 2026 at 6:59 AM UTCWhich is more intrusive to kids though: on-device scanning, or parents going through their camera roll and WhatsApp messages? I'm not saying this is good policy, but "control their child's devices" has to be balanced against a child's own privacy.
June 8, 2026 at 11:06 PM UTCAll that post does is very laboriously show that the subscriptions are a lot cheaper than paying API prices. It says nothing about what the cost of tokens is to the providers.
June 7, 2026 at 5:00 PM UTCWe can argue about whether these or the Chinese models are frontier, but it's irrelevant because the question isn't "what counts as a frontier model", it's "which labs was OP referring to"
June 4, 2026 at 4:47 PM UTCYou can argue about the definition, but I would imagine that @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social was referring to the three labs that are producing frontier models: OpenAI, Anthropic and Google
June 4, 2026 at 3:59 PM UTCIn fact I believe I did actually lean over to @pi0.io, who was sitting next to me, and say that
June 4, 2026 at 1:28 PM UTCI thought Evan was going to do a "and we're joining Cloudflare" thing at the end of his Vue Amsterdam keynote announcing that (I knew nothing before today)
June 4, 2026 at 1:20 PM UTCWait, what the fuck? Yes, it's *that* Steve Hilton. For Americans: this is like if you suddenly heard that David Axelrod had gone full Marxist and was favourite to become Mayor of London.
June 3, 2026 at 4:11 PM UTCSo many things that while technically associated with Britain, is actually mostly popular with Americans. It's the Angus Steakhouse of punctuation.
June 3, 2026 at 5:57 AM UTCThe WSM comma is followed by featureless filler, seemingly without end, then disappointment when you finally get to it
June 3, 2026 at 5:52 AM UTCYour sitting here asking questions of Sturgeon while JonBenet Ramsey's murder remains unsolved
June 2, 2026 at 6:28 PM UTCOne of the very first things I did with my iMac after I'd bought it was to download the Phantom Menace trailer from there. It took all night! I then invited friends over to watch it!
June 2, 2026 at 10:04 AM UTCThis is how I learn that Polish has the best word imaginable for "blocked"
June 2, 2026 at 7:56 AM UTCI think the idea is that you then hold onto it for two weeks, then offload to the index funds that are forced to buy at any price
June 2, 2026 at 7:49 AM UTCNot just that, but for the first 5 years or so of Chrome it directly used WebCore (with V8 replacing JavaScriptCore). It wasn't til Chrome 28 that they forked it to create Blink.
June 2, 2026 at 6:48 AM UTCMy kids ensure that despite being old and grey of beard, I am fully briefed on all the latest trends and slang
June 2, 2026 at 6:35 AM UTCThe creators of Severance have said in the past that it was inspired by the Backrooms
June 2, 2026 at 6:33 AM UTCA low budget indie horror, too! It's like Blair Witch Project all over again.
June 2, 2026 at 6:29 AM UTCYeah, I was fully briefed on the lore years ago by my 14 year old horror fan daughter. She often points out spaces that look like backrooms
June 2, 2026 at 6:27 AM UTCAnd, mostly importantly, is apparently really good! It's a 15 certificate in the UK, which prompted my 12 year old to desperately try various makeup and clothing combinations in an attempt to pass as 15, and when we told her that she'd failed, to beg us to get her a fake ID
June 2, 2026 at 6:21 AM UTCAge assurance is implemented by the PDS, so if you self host you decide what the response is
June 1, 2026 at 11:03 PM UTCWhatever you think of LLMs, I'd hope most people would agree that's a shitty way to behave towards any OSS maintainer, but particularly one who has been maintaining this for *30 years*
June 1, 2026 at 12:06 PM UTCGood example of the bad news getting a lot more reach than the climbdown!
June 1, 2026 at 7:49 AM UTCDon't they still charge you for self-hosted minutes? Istr them introducing something like that
June 1, 2026 at 7:43 AM UTCPeople do use it as it's the default. However there are a lot of problems with it, particularly for new accounts. It gets a lot of US politics, whether or not the user is interested in that, and it tends to over-represent a few large accounts.
June 1, 2026 at 7:26 AM UTCIt would be super interesting to A/B test offering a small percentage of users "For You" (or a version with cold start handling based on followed accounts) at account creation time and then comparing the retention.
June 1, 2026 at 6:52 AM UTCIt looks like my PDS is throwing when looking up your DID, because foryou.club/.well-known/... returns duplicate content-type headers. The fetch collapses them to "application/json, application/json", which atcute doesn't recognise as valid for a DID document.
May 31, 2026 at 6:37 PM UTCRewind works, but when I last checked it was still all old stuff and the For You feed still had loads of old stuff
May 31, 2026 at 5:23 PM UTCI changed mine to send the feed DID and it still doesn't seem to have helped
May 31, 2026 at 5:19 PM UTCI jumped through all kinds of hoops too get release-please working with pre-jsr Deno for Unpic. Got there in the end, but it wasn't fun.
May 31, 2026 at 9:22 AM UTCWon't stop Mac OS opening .ts files in QuickTime Player until the end of time
