  • OpenAI is reportedly poaching Apple talent to build its first consumer hardware device — could potentially be a smart speaker

  • Bloodthief slaps so incredibly hard and has a big free demo. Definitely try it out. If you liked neon white or any other "speedrunning simulator" games definitely give it a look!

  • I can only speak from my experience (USA based), but:

    You can get access to drugs you may or may not wish to use.

    Any new life insurance plan's premiums will go up as soon as you get prescribed those meds.

    You will probably go through a period of post diagnosis regression as you reevaluate unhealthy coping mechanisms you've developed. Even if you think you already accept your brain for its difficulties and quirks.

    You might spend a couple months being really annoying about your diagnosis as you figure out how to incorporate it into your identity. This lines up with a lot of the post diagnosis regression.

    On the far side, you might end up redeveloping new coping strategies that are slightly less shame driven. But the demands of the world around you probably won't flex around your new diagnosis.

    TBH if you're old enough to be on here you probably already know how to manage your environment and needs to live in the world, it's just a question of if you can actually acknowledge you have special needs and if you're capable of being kind to yourself while addressing them. And a diagnosis does help with quelling the anxiety around "do I actually have special needs or is everybody like this"

  • Apple eyes using AI to design its chips, technology executive says

    Jump

  • These articles tend to overstate "using AI to design" technical systems when conceptually they're really fuzzing the performance characteristics of different variations on an algorithm against a reference implementation, and validating its correctness.

    I'm coming from software so I'm not sure how much simulation/verification can be done automatically in chip design, but I'd bet money this sort of process is what they're talking about, similar to the alpha evolve paper from a bit ago. Rather than going "hey chatgpt how do I design this chip??"

  • Microsoft Bans Employees From Using DeepSeek App

    Jump

  • Ah, that sounds correct to me.

    My interpretation is probably distorted by having worked at big companies that have arms in basically every part of software development so there is no side project programming that is "out of scope" there.

    But working at a company with a narrower focus would let you moonlight more freely.

  • Salaried american software developer here. While some large companies have moonlighting carve outs, by and large the rights to any of your work done outside working hours is at the employer's discretion.

    (I call out salaried because I think those clauses can vary depending on the structure of your employment)

  • Canadian Video Game Developers

    Jump

  • a short hike is 100% Canadian, I'm pretty sure. The composer and programmer/artist are both from the Toronto indie scene.

  • Why indeed

    Jump

  • Not quite. instead of a bundled pinned version of electron, it is an arbitrary version of edge's WebKit fork shared across all programs using it. That means you don't need to keep multiple copies of the webkit libraries loaded into memory.

    That's not to say that building things on web technology is an efficient use of resources. Even if multiple programs are sharing the webview2 library, they're still dealing with the fundamental performance and memory problems caused by building an app in JavaScript.

    As for why teams is so memory hungry? I would blame Teams.

    Discord manages to make a half decent, highly responsive webview app, and that's with the overhead of having its own separate instance of electron.

    EDIT: the original poster was also talking about application binary size, not runtime memory consumption. Application binary size should actually be significantly helped by linking webview to instead of bundling electron.

  • Why indeed

    Jump

  • See: Webview2

    Unfortunately, it is extremely painful to work with😔 Enjoy rolling your own script versioning and update systems instead of using squirrel et al

    Edit: I think Tauri works by targeting this and webkitgtk via their wrapper library, unfortunately I can't get my coworkers to write rust

  • 100% agreed. The fact that it's possible to deport someone who has lived in America for decades just for getting laid off is absurdly cruel.

  • Meta fires staffers for using $25 meal credits on household goods

    Jump

  • Definitely seems like they want the layoff from my position in the industry.

    The tech megagiants are massively reallocating their budgets from "paying people for new product development" to datacenter build-outs, under the belief that AI will fundamentally restructure all knowledge work into property you can own and extract rent from.

    Unfortunately the industry is completely non union and a good chunk of employees are on H1B or TN visas where they will get deported if they get fired. That really puts a damper on wanting to rock the boat.

    Expect things to get less stable and shittier over time as this trend continues.
