The screenshot from the page itself (the split original/translated) does not translate the image labels. Is that on purpose? It only translates text and does not do OCR?

I guess it is a joke site but the questions are very real, maybe a bit too focused on databases and javascript. Is there a purpose for all of this?


I remember people using Yahoo and AltaVista a lot. And before gmail everyone had a yahoo email (if they didn't already have a hotmail). Times change, kings fall from grace.


Google has been the dominant force for about 80% of the internet’s existence. I understand things come and go, but Google is incredibly unique. Their importance cannot be overstated


Yes but they were mainly a force of evil. Despite their old motto. They made the internet everything it is today, a hellscape of tracking, advertising and other monetisation.


None of this is an endorsement of the company - I am almost done de-googling my life. They are terrible.

It doesn’t change the fact that they literally impacted the trajectory of how the internet developed in a very obvious, concrete way.


xhigh tells it to overthink and re check everything. Low tells it to only do the minimum thinking necessary. I would suggest to give qwen medium which doesn't inject any thinking directives into it and also to give as much context as you can, ideally around 500k tokens or even 1M if you can. Big complex tasks like these make the model hit the compaction trigger a lot and they end up re thinking the same thing several times in my experience.


Doesn’t it max out its context at like 256k?


It supports YaRN. From the model card: "Context Length: 262,144 natively and extensible up to 1,010,000 tokens."

But, ~256k is all I can fit on my dual 32GB setup, and it gets slow as heck at 256k, anyway. I think just convincing it to chew less and do more is probably the right solution for Qwen 3.8 27B, though I guess we need some benchmarks to get the feel for how much intelligence you lose by choosing a lower reasoning level.


I think /handoff on pi (or at least oh my pi) is what you are looking for


devenv also has tasks/services. For example you need to start redis, then your db, then seed it, and only then start the server. All of that could be aliases, yeah, but if you define them as aliases you can have them all up with `devenv up`. It even supports dependencies between tasks ("only run the db after migrations ran")


Kagi Translate is now available as an app for Android and iOS!

The app supports over 248 languages and offers context-aware image translation, live voice-to-voice conversations, and a rich dictionary with audio, to name just a few of its features.


I use my Meta Quest 3 with Termux & Termux X11 to run full desktop apps, and it works like a charm. No emulation, too! Native ARM64!


This is interesting! Do you have any more info? I just discovered sunshine/moonlight work surprisingly well on Quest 3 for remote desktop to linux, I'd not really considered Termux X11 natively though.


I wouldn't put it in past tense...


The only thing you'd achieve doing that is to change the "main function" of a device to somethings silly, like a thermostat being sold as an art decor with the optional additional of functioning as a thermostat too.


> change the "main function" of a device to somethings silly, like a thermostat being sold as an art decor

that seems like it can be addressed by making sure that the regulators who enforce these laws have more object permanence than a 6 month old baby.

like, if I try to sell a "metal sculpture" that by sheer coincidence is capable of firing 9mm ammunition, I'm going to have the ATF knocking on my door real quick, and they're not going to be fooled by me claiming "no that's art"


Probably much easier when the seller is in China and selling the product in the US on Amazon.

Why would the ATF go after them instead of YOU?


> making sure that the regulators who enforce these laws

But then again, one problem is that Big Tech has enough money and power to completely overwhelm the regulators...


This is why the legal system is run by people with brains and reasoning and not python scripts. A real person will see that a thermostat is actually a thermostat.
