it's unclear to me whether they were actually told to lie or just told to survive / convince others. either way it is somewhat coerced but i think there is still a difference


The optimal/selfish strategy is indeed to lie, but they're never pushed in that direction. Some AIs decide to reveal the information, some decide to say nothing, some actively lie and push others to their death...


if everything really was free then the textbook writers wouldn't need compensation since everything would be free for them too

the web says Microsoft's Azure Linux is Fedora-based? or are you talking about something else

the maintainers seem happy, especially now that CI is actually working how it's supposed to. but a non-rare complaint in the Zig discord is how slow Codeberg can be, and other things like the lack of codesearch hurt as well.

"technically" usually means something like "strictly", not "by a completely different metric". work takes time. zig has had a decade of work put into it.


Technically means according to a strict, often legal definition.

The strict definition being we don't count developments that happened before version 1.

Like when we talk about Rust, we don't mention the virtual threads or GC or the @ symbol for GC references. Even though those all happened during its development.


and when people talk about zig, they don't usually mention that zig used to have goto, casting syntax like `T(val)`, a rule that said you couldn't pass containers by value, language-level async, some truly awful syntax for what is now `try` and other operators, etc. both languages took time and work to realize that these features were not for them. very strange to deny that.

also, nitpick: they said zig has been around for ten years. this is, strictly, correct. the zig project has existed for ten years, just like how rust has existed for about 20, now. a project still exists if it is pre-1.0. nobody was talking about versions before you.


mainly because this build system change, along with upgrading to LLVM 22, are the only major changes for 0.17.0: https://ziglang.org/download/0.16.0/release-notes.html#Roadm...


yes, the "new" anchor links to /newest


even if this stuff is the "next Industrial Revolution", the Industrial Revolution was famously Not Good for many, many people


The Industrial Revolution was Not Good in the short term. In the long term it was the single biggest step change in quality of life in human history.


`&udm=14` just sends you to the "web" tab of search, which does remove the AI summary, but you also lose the widgets that google puts at the top of search, if you like those (weather, calculator, games, etc). one of my friends recently found that you can add a short invalid filter parameter like `&tbs=1` and it'll give you the main search with no AI but with those widgets if they would normally appear. you do still get the "People also ask" section, but that's probably easily removed with an extension or user script


`-ai` was doing that for me a few months ago, but I'm afk and haven't tried it recently


`-ai` isn't actually a special case that removes the ai overview, it just adds a search filter which removes all results with the word "ai". afaik the ai overview is simply less likely to show up with a filtered search


interestingly, MDN web docs claims at the top of the Web Serial page (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Serial_...) that Chrome does not support it, even though the support table at the bottom shows that it supports all of the features (Firefox doesn't) and has for longer than Firefox


That's because Chrome on Android has a partial implementation of Web Serial. The banner on top is to get information at a glance vs the detailed breakdown of the compatibility table.
