I have mixed feeling about this one. I'm on the newsletter as a Kagi + Linux user, but I'm not sure I'll make this my daily driver once it's ready.

I have diversified my tech, using self-hosted and/or open source where possible. Orion is closed-source, and from the same company I use for my search, translation, etc. I trust Kagi far more than I trust Google, but I still don't want all my eggs in one basket.

It's obviously good that we're getting alternatives in the browser market, but I don't know how much work they've done outside of the UI - is this effectively a reskin of Apple Safari in the same way we have the Chromium-based browsers that are dependent on Google's developers?

I like that they have "native support for both Chrome and Firefox extensions", which means I should be able to replicate my Firefox setup in Orion. I guess I'll need to try it.

If you need to refer to a key with ~ or / in its name, you must escape the characters with ~0 and ~1 respectively. For example, to get "baz" from { "foo/bar~": "baz" } you’d use the pointer /foo~1bar~0.

I guess they're using ~ for escaping since backslash is already escaping text content, not that you'd see it very often in keys.

Having magic values instead of using ~~ and ~/ feels ugly.

I thought Jurassic World Dominion was the final one? Wasn't that why they brought back so many of the original cast? And it was pretty terrible, and dragged heavily towards the end.

Hollywood is addicted to established IPs, find some courage and be inventive again, please.

I think it's been cropped into a square at some point (maybe for a preview image) and here we are.

You know which XKCD this is.

It's already a report written by the police - they can make it say whatever they want with or without AI.

I'm still very happy with the experience, especially the UX and customisation options, and they're developing new features fast. Not always successfully at first, e.g. the recent integration of WolframAlpha isn't entirely a step forward (mostly because they're not displaying the extra context that WA shows that lets you know when it's answering the wrong question).

I think overall most people are very happy, as shown by the frequent recommendations on here (so much so that someone on Lemmy was telling everyone it must be astroturfing).

I haven't had one in years but I hear they've changed the recipe (less cocoa, more sugar or something?)

But yes, pervert-style for me too.

It's a somewhat similar story there, although the devs aren't as difficult. Mbin is a fork and seems to be the codebase with the brightest future.

I at least appreciate that he points out that he's describing American schools; my experiences of British schools doesn't tally with his, but I assume from all the media's portrayals that his memories match the common US experience.

So Hungary hasn't ratified Sweden's membership, but what does this actually mean? I know that signing a treaty means you agree to the terms and intend to sign, but that it's not yet legally binding. And then ratifying means you've dealt with your own country's process to get a new law (or whatever) in place.

But Hungary reneging on this means that the other countries cannot complete the process? Or that they all consider Sweden in but Hungary still doesn't?

Oh, it's a podcast. Does anyone have a summary/transcript?

GPUs are a lot closer to AI processors (tensor cores and similar) than CPUs. Graphics processing is about doing lots of simple computations simultaneously, which is what AI does - lots and lots of matrix maths. CPUs are more general purpose but can't compete on raw speed because of this (and some of the hacks to try to get more speed are causing security problems).
