Can‘t help but think that this is slop like the Matrix project.

“Hey Claude, port the latest trendy thing to Cloudflare Workers”

> My favorite feature is being able to setup a container on my Linux desktop that has a GPU access and can run ML workloads for image processing whenever I turn the computer on, as my NAS (where Immich resides) is a low power machine without a dedicated GPU

Okay, sold. This is also my setup and I was being held back by thinking that the experience would be bad due to it. But this will work for me!

Have they started becoming better again? I had the X before the current 13 and am still regularly disappointed by the camera.

The Android system is such a pain to work with. I’m curious to see whether they actually fixed the fundamentals making it unappealing for general purpose computing or they just stuck Android onto Chromebooks (guessing the latter).

Your statement is true on average because the world’s economy is continuing to function.

The entire field of economics depends on post ipso facto statements like this.

> can't continue to function even if acquisitions were only 80% value creation on average

The number is much much lower than that. Most acquisitions fail or don't have much impact.

This will significantly impact (quite possibly kill) Startpage and Ecosia, who are effectively white-label Google, right?

What alternatives are there besides Bing? Is it really so hard that it’s not considered worth doing? Some of the AI companies (Perplexity, Anthropic) seem to have managed to get their own indexing up and running.

Excuse the self-promotion but Mojeek offers a web search API (>9 billion pages): https://www.mojeek.com/services/search/web-search-api/

Nice! I hope Kagi is licensing access from you?

These are Linux containers in a VM, I’m pretty sure GP is talking about native macOS containers.

Which: They do actually have some container-like sandboxing tech around applications (“iTerm wants to access your downloads folder”).

Yes, afaik macOS apps could theoretically be sandboxed as well (or close to) as iOS apps are. You can find the policies for many first-party apps and deamons in /System/Library/Sandbox/Profiles. But in practice most third-party apps aren't.

https://bdash.net.nz/posts/tcc-and-the-platform-sandbox-poli... and https://bdash.net.nz/posts/sandboxing-on-macos/ are good introductory articles.

The point of open-sourcing is to put it on peoples’ map at all.

Development tools have to be fully dependable (maintained, no rug pull) and proprietary software just carries too much risk in that regard for a lot of people.

It actually works, reasonably well, out of the box.

Note that Swift/WinRT by The Browser Company does not qualify, as it’s one layer too low (directly exposes the Windows framework): https://github.com/thebrowsercompany/swift-winrt

However it seems like it could be a good basis for such a project.
