OK, huge downside of O-1 preview model? It weirdly cannot (yet) do web searching, and even more weird, it thinks its knowledge cut-off is 2021. Looks like Open AI trained it not with the newer knowledge of later models like 4O, but perhaps the content from 3.5 or the base 4 model. This could make sense while they fine-tune it.

@Mason oooh yeah, no web search through API :( I wish. It's partially why I've stayed away from it, maybe even that's a risk they're not willing to take. I use it when I need simple answers to questions, but at times the cut-off date or needing to find out more specific info about a repo it can dig through me (like I just had it do with Storybook's repo to check what's up) saves a lot of time.

@fexplorer die Erkennung lebt ja von der vielfältigen Aussprache von verschiedensten Menschen. Später sollen noch weitere Wörter / Erkennungsnamen hinzu kommen, aber man muss ja erst einmal irgendwo anfangen. Ist ja auch nicht ganz einfach etwas international unproblematisches zu finden #phonetik

Das verstehe ich schon. Aber wie soll man das nun sprechen? Deutsch? Zu NABU gibt es zu unterschiedliche Varianten. Manche sprechen solche Kürzel nicht als Wort sondern als einzelne Buchstaben. Finde das nahzu unbrauchbar für ein key word ... An wen kann man sich da wenden? Wer legt diese Wörter fest?

My irritation of Tuesday: When Storybook only loads two stories into the DOM initially and relies on onblur events to load more, it creates a barrier. Screen readers like NVDA depend on the DOM to navigate and announce content. If content isn't loaded into the DOM until after a certain interaction, it's invisible to the screen reader until that event occurs. Storybook sucks at this. The onblur triggers when navigating by headings but not when by buttons, oi. Make it better, world.

now the make-or-break question of the century, is this lazyloading of multiple stories per single-docs page something that can be disabled on a per-project basis, or is it part of the core Storybook functionality at github.com/storybookjs/storybo… - hmm.
Well, thanks GPT, you dug this up for me: github.com/storybookjs/storybo… - is this one of those situations where lazy-loading for performance can make accessibility worse?

I read about the Zig programming language website moving from AWS to a dedicated server at Hetzner. ziglang.org/news/migrate-to-se… I like the spirit of frugality and (relative) independence behind this. I wonder if more of that can be brought to Rust. As for using Zig itself, I don't think I can get on board with using a systems language without at least Rust-level safety guarantees for new projects.

That's fine while you're small, but I don't know how rust CI would go paying market rates for hardware, you'd probably have to give up on bors. And then there's crater...

One place I hope machine learning eventually comes to is git. Looking at diffs and logs, trying to work out when code arrived or what happened between two points, is tedious at best. It's way worse for those of us who use screen readers. If something could take a natural language question, parse all the git data, and give a natural answer, that would be amazing.

Man kann mich gerne korrigieren, aber noch nie in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik haben die Grünen den Bundeskanzler gestellt. Aber es wird immer so getan, als wenn sie seit 30 Jahren an der Macht wären und niemand sonst. Der Tonfall etwa aus CDU und CSU gegenüber den Grünen unterscheidet sich nicht von dem der AfD. Das unterhöhlt die Demokratie, das ist zersetzend, weil sich die Parteien so koalitionsunfähig machen."

I’ve published my article on the Impact Hero SDK (as used by at least 16 browser extensions) and the refoorest extension. The company behind these is the France-based Colibri Hero, also known as allcolibri: palant.info/2024/10/01/lies-da…

Trust me, the article title is justified. I couldn’t believe it when I saw how everything they claim turns out to be a lie. Their line of business is commonly called “affiliate fraud,” so they carefully avoid this topic and instead make the impression of being supported by altruistic companies that genuinely care for our planet.

They promise to plant trees if people use their extensions but their numbers are all fake. The numbers displayed by the extension don’t add up to the numbers shown on their web page. Maybe they should have implemented access control if they didn’t want anybody to figure that out. And the numbers on the web page – well, these have been increasing at a constant rate of 20 trees per hour for the past four years, completely ignoring what their extension users did or didn’t.

Do they actually donate any money? Probably, I don’t know. They don’t disclose their finances, and if they did these would probably turn out fake as well. Should anyone trust them? No, not from what I saw. Should these extensions be nuked from orbit (or at least from the add-on stores)? Yes, absolutely.

There is more “fun” stuff going on here, so feel free to read the article.

Na automobilový průmysl je kladeno nespočet požadavků, které navyšují cenu a komplexitu, každopádně co domácí spotřebiče?

Existuje nějaká legislativa nutící výrobce poskytovat API pro čtení/nastavení zařízení jako pračka, bojler/kotel, myčka, lednička, topení, a další "komponenty" domácnosti na standartizovaném rozhraní?

IMHO integrace otevřené komunikace je relativně (k ceně spotřebiče) levná položka otevírající dveře kompletní automatizaci a lepší ekologii domácnosti.

in Montreal they (Bixi) are owned by the city and fall into the transit planning. So in that case definitely public with user fees.

A lot of the problems with #ActivityPub could be solved if we could all just collectively agree that it isn't a protocol but more like saying "I communicate in JSON."

So we're not communicating in AP, we're communicating the Mastodon API.

But there is a dedicated commitment to conflate them and in the protocol itself conflates them, which stifles the ability to work in this space.

The lack of a formal extension/handshake mechanism further makes it difficult to even get value from using it.

What would an alternative look like? A thought experiment.

* Formalize the protocol in OpenAPI. Not all of it, just the behavior and shape of the inbox and outbox.
* Formalize and render as testable all of the behavior with side effects.
* Remove basically all of the other fields from the Actor object.
* Type is always a list and starts from the Base Type then applies essentially mixins, which can be extensions
* Type is always strongly specified
* Collections have precisely defined navigation

How do other people with disabilities learn to accept the constant, never ending inaccessibility of the world without being continually crushed, frustrated, angry and ultimately just feel like giving up? I see some folks just seem to accept it and move on and I just don't understand how to learn to do that. And it feels like the older I get, the harder it gets to accept.

@kfjelsted I'm a very positive person. I don't have the energy to be negative all the time, and no that's not a criticism of you at all. I'm just answering your question from my own perspective. I don't even have the energy to advocate for blind people, which probably sounds selfish and no doubt everybody thinks I am selfish, however, I just want to live my life as well as I can. Added to that, I'm also a Christian who believes in the promise of everlasting life in the future With no more sin, death or pain. But yes, in the meantime, I try and just stay focused on the positive; my supportive friends and family. If I listen to the news or concentrated on all the inaccessibility of the world, yes, I would get weighed down as well. But I don't have the energy and I'm not going to let the negatives win. Sure, I do get frustrated at times when I'm on a website and cannot for the life of me think of how to do something, but I am getting better about being better about that.

As a former screen reader developer, do you have an idea what, exactly was going on there, and why we were affected so much?

In that case, it should also appear in e.g. games

@miki Not really, no. I do know that the driver installs audio enhancements which run as ... I forget what they're called, but they're basically bits of code that run in the WASAPI audio chain. But that should only be relevant if the enhancements are enabled. My suspicion is that it did actually affect other audio beyond screen readers, but screen reader users just use audio so much and so regularly that it disproportionately impacts us. But I have no evidence either way.

Mine did allow you to disable enhancements easily, and that didn't seem to help.

Not sure how deeply you looked into this, I think I was one of the first users affected due to being on insiders for reasons too complicated to explain, so I tried tracing that leak before I knew what driver it was coming from. There was a tool from the Windows Driver developer Kit that let you see unpaged memory allocations by tag, and the tag responsible for the leak was related to the Windows Event Tracing subsystem.

Come to think of it, most (all?) vendor-supplied UEFI updates would install this way. Usually Windows update loads the firmware file pre-shutdown but post-logoff sequence, so the update is applied upon next boot. Normally this is less of a problem when you do "update and restart" (or manually had chosen the BIOS update in "optional updates" section), but more of one if you went to bed and chose a simple shutdown or "update and shutdown" and it did it. I could face it, too.
