In-reply-to » Over the past few days I've been playing around with the latest Chat-GPT, I think the model is called o1-preview. I've used it for various tasks from writing documentation, specs, shell scripts, to code (in Go).

@bender@twtxt.net Yes. I think as a fancy autocomplete “tool” it’s not too shabby. Beyond that I’m not convinced it saves you time at all.

@prologic@twtxt.net quoting a friend of mine, C# developer of 25 years now converted to DevOP:

“If you are not using AI everyday, you’re working too much”, and “completely worth it [referring to the use of ChatGPT], no question. Same work output, in less of my time. More breaks for me.”

It is not to rely on it 100%. It’s just a tool.

Made the first apple sauce of the season in around three to four hours of work. Pretty cool, very, very little waste. The jars are currently cooking.

In-reply-to » @prologic I’m sure you can somehow install something that calculates blake2b on OpenBSD. But it’s not part of the base system as a standalone CLI tool, there only appear to be Perl modules for it. The other SHA tools do exist.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de i’m sorry if I sound too contrarian. I’m not a fan of using an obscure hash as well. The problem is that of future and backward compatibility. If we change to sha256 or another we don’t just need to support sha256. But need to now support both sha256 AND blake2b. Or we devide the community. Users of some clients will still use the old algorithm and get left behind.

Really we should all think hard about how changes will break things and if those breakages are acceptable.

@xuu@txt.sour.is @prologic@twtxt.net You clearly have very different goals for twtxt and view it from a very different perspective. I don’t have the mental energy for these discussions. I’m gonna take a break.

In-reply-to » Gentlemen, I have a pdf file (1.5MB) which I want to be able to block and copy text writing out of it, but it's locked, preventing this. All I used to do was write it out by hand, or screen shot the text as an image. Is there any software that opens pdf format for copying and pasting of the text?

Aelaraji the Ubuntu Software can’t find this . Also why can’t TWTXT upload files to this forum? I could let you guys convert the file for me.

Here is the pdf file located on the Internet

In-reply-to » Epic Games Sues Google and Samsung Over App Store Restrictions Epic Games filed a new antitrust lawsuit against Google and Samsung, alleging they conspired to undermine third-party app stores. The suit focuses on Samsung's "Auto Blocker" feature, now enabled by default on new phones, which restricts app installations to "authorized sources" - primarily Google and Samsung's stores.

Context for those who don’t know: Epic Games is the company behind the hugely popular video game Fortnite. As far as I know, the core game is still free-to-play and supported by microtransactions. It’s available on Windows, consoles, and mobile platforms. They sued Apple a few years ago because they felt the 30% cut Apple takes for in-app purchases was unreasonable and that they should be allowed to distribute their software independently of the App Store. It didn’t turn out so well for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_Games_v._Apple

In-reply-to » So really your argument is just that switching to a location-based addressing "just makes sense". Why? Without concrete pros/cons of each approach this isn't really a strong argument I'm afraid. In fact I probably need to just sit down and detail the properties of both approaches and the pros/cons of both.

why can we both have a format that you can write by hand and better clients?
