Recent commentary on OpenAI's O3 large language model suggests, even to me as a non-expert, that it exhibits remarkable problem solving performance and adaptability to tasks for which it was not trained. If this line of research continues successfully, our prior assumptions about the limitations of machine learning systems may be due for revision, including our understanding of the relationship between AI and disability. The assumption reflected in the literature has been that AI systems have little capacity to respond appropriately to human diversity without detailed training in disability-related scenarios - whatever those are for the specific application. This view may soon cease to be valid, or at least not hold to the same extent as it does presently.

Spent the last 6 hours trying to get a hello world equivalent gui window with a button on rust under windows.
This task which one might think is simple ended up taking literal hours and still hasn't been achieved because: the tutorials for gtk on windows and rust suggest putting msys2 bin directory on the path. This causes rust to fail to build correctly because it uses the wrong gcc and linkers.
Afterwards I managed it by using the appropriate environment variables.
But then I found out the dynamically linked libarries weren't found. I tried getting a way to copy them but it turned out to be too much work so I just moved the executable to the same dir.
Only to find out that gtk4 has no accessibility on Windows. Not bad accessibility, not accessibility that needs to be turned on. No. Accessibility. At all.
So then I decided to try Qt, which wants me to create an account to get an installer. Absolute no.
Got the 1.5gb sources and trying now to get an off-line installer out of it.
To get a fucking window with a button in it.
I don't think it's unreasonable for me to say this state of affairs is complete bullshit, and that most people with a normal level of motivation would have found plenty of opportunities to have given up. I still might.
(Not using NWG because tying the data to the GUI elements is non-trivial, it seems to require copying a lot and using twice the memory.)

I'm a bit nervous about the fact it uses an external crate for a11y, so it's not on by default, and it says some widgets have a11y support, so it's not clear if all of them do. Also can one do list views? I haven't seen them on the list of widgets.
PS Still trying to build Qt, got failures due to: lack of ATL, mismatch in architecture, and now some weird openssl link failure.
I've been trying FLTK after running out of other options. I can see why you recommended it, the building situation is so much easier, just cargo add with the bundle feature and it's done.
Unfortunately the accessibility implementation isn't good. I've only given a quick look, but the example provided already doesn't work well. Specifically, the screen reader re-reads every time an input field is changed, so it reads the entire input whenever a new character is entered.
However if one day the accessibility situation improves I will definitely look into it again. It seems much easier to deploy.

This specification defines a protocol for end-to-end encryption in one-to-one chats, as well as group chats where each participant may have multiple clients per account.Marvin Wißfeld
As someone familiar with the XMPP Standards Foundation, I can explain this one 🙂
The answer is rather simple... it's not "finished" yet.
Most clients are on an earlier version of the XEP (0.3.x).
The crypto is 99% the same, but some other things were changed to make the protocol better, more efficient, etc. We need more implementations of the latest version before it can be moved on to "Stable", which is the next stage for XEPs.

Andy Yen, founder and CEO of ProtonMail has decided to post on Reddit with the username andy1011000 [1]. 1011000 being the binary representation of the decimal number 88, a well-known dog whistle towards the far-right [2].
I am sure that he will say it’s just a joke, or his birth year. And that is most likely true. But still — I am happy that I cancelled my proton mail account already a while ago.

This everything-as-a-service craze is a cancer that must be eradicated.
And I want the PMs that only worship the cult of yearly recurring revenue out of my industry for good.
If I buy a product, and that product cost me a lot as well, I want to be able to use that product however I like, for its intended lifetime, without having to pay for an extra subscription.
I honestly don’t give a single fuck about how you are supposed to make money after my purchase - you already made money THROUGH my purchase. If it’s not enough then I’d rather be charged $50 more for my purchase than paying $5/month forever.

We have started to offer open alpha access to a hosted Forgejo Actions CI runner. Unfortunately, there are many jobs that can crash the runner for every user reliably, and many users execute them inadvertently.
To save cost and disk wear, we want to keep temporary writes inside the CI builds in RAM and only store the images persistently.
However, the setup is apparently incorrect and we need help figuring it out.

Currently, I am the only person actively maintaining the setup, with occasional help from some others for debugging. However, the setup turned out to be more complicated than I anticipated and I would be happy to receive assistance.Codeberg.org
Od Muskova rozhovoru se šéfkou německé krajně pravicové strany AfD na jeho sociální síti X získal účet Alice Weidelové přes 230 000 nových sledujících.
170 000 z těchto nových sledujících přibylo v den rozhovoru s Muskem.
To je důležité i pro posouzení toho, zda tato událost na X může být vyhodnocena jako dar politické straně.
Stranickým darem by nebyl samotný rozhovor, ale algoritmické zvýhodnění, které dostávají všechny Muskovy aktivity na jeho platformě.
Toto "zvýhodnění" běžně síť X prodává.
Pokud ho AfD dostala zdarma, jednalo by se o peněžní výhodu, což by bylo nezákonné, protože Elon Musk i síť X sídlí v USA a stranické dary ze zemí mimo EU nejsou povoleny.
Podle očekávání se konverzace také mnoha uživatelům zobrazila jako zvláštní oznámení a připnula se do postranního panelu, i když Muska tito uživatelé nesledovali.
