Whatever they do it’s done prettey well, so that a droid store for Linux is now possible similar to the one deepin Linux has (or had), or like fydeOS/ChromeOS do. I tried uegine runner and spark waydroid runner but those are not very clear packages


That’s what I was tthinking of


I installed but didnt unpack it actually. I was surprised even controllers are recognised. Did you understand what’s inside? Since it’s closed source I didnt even bother trying to understand that from the flatpack alone


Does anyone know what technology is used to create this flatpak? Is it archon? Or else?

I’d like to see automatically AI generated price tags on all those “toys” when they are displayed either on pictures or videos.


OK, but now they are wonderful completely useless tools, thanks to “small” actors. I find it just great.


Do they make sense at all?

A bunch of those planes and pilots costs the same amount of money that could let an entire nation go on vacation via airplane.



2025 is going to be the year of deepseek and Gwen. Let’s see if it’s going to be the year of riscV too with its AI chips like the SiFive Intelligence X390


However you still hear people here saying “poor Chinese people”.

Through the looking glass: A review of cranial window technology for optical access to the brain - ScienceDirect
### Title: Echoes of Light --- #### Chapter 1: The Dawn of Optogenesis In the year 2025, the world had changed in ways unimaginable just a few decades prior. The city of Neo-Paris, a gleaming metropolis of glass and steel, was the epicenter of technological advancement. Among the many innovations that had reshaped society, none was more controversial or more revolutionary than Optogenesis. Optogenesis, a blend of optogenetics and cognitive neuroscience, allowed scientists to manipulate memories with unprecedented precision. By exposing specific regions of the brain to carefully calibrated light, researchers could activate or inhibit neural pathways, effectively rewriting a person's past. Dr. Elara Voss, a brilliant neuroscientist at the cutting edge of Optogenesis, had dedicated her life to understanding the intricacies of memory. Her work at the prestigious Institut de la Mémoire had garnered both acclaim and criticism. While some hailed her as a visionary, others saw her as a dangerous meddler in the natural order of things. --- #### Chapter 2: The Patient One crisp autumn morning, Dr. Voss received a visitor who would change the course of her research forever. The man, who introduced himself only as Luc, was a former soldier haunted by the ghosts of his past. His eyes held a depth of sorrow that spoke volumes about the horrors he had witnessed. "I need your help, Dr. Voss," Luc said, his voice steady despite the tremor in his hands. "I can't live with these memories anymore. They're destroying me." Elara listened intently as Luc recounted his experiences—the battles, the losses, the guilt. She saw in him a chance to prove the potential of Optogenesis, not just as a tool for scientific inquiry, but as a means of healing. "I can help you," she said finally, her voice filled with conviction. "But you must understand, this is uncharted territory. There are risks." Luc nodded, his resolve unwavering. "I'm willing to take that chance." --- #### Chapter 3: The Procedure The procedure was meticulously planned. Luc was prepped in a sterile lab, his head encased in a device that would deliver precise beams of light to targeted areas of his brain. Elara and her team worked with the focus of surgeons, their every movement calculated and precise. As the light pulsed through Luc's neural pathways, Elara watched the monitors with bated breath. The memories of war, of loss, began to fade, replaced by fabricated recollections of peace and tranquility. It was a delicate dance, a ballet of light and shadow within the mind. Hours later, Luc awoke, his eyes clear and untroubled. He looked around the room, a faint smile on his lips. "I feel... different," he said, his voice tinged with wonder. Elara nodded, a sense of triumph surging through her. "Your past is no longer a burden, Luc. You have a chance to start anew." --- #### Chapter 4: The Consequences News of Luc's successful treatment spread like wildfire. People from all walks of life flocked to the Institut de la Mémoire, seeking to erase their own painful memories. Elara and her team worked tirelessly, their days filled with the hopes and fears of their patients. But as Optogenesis gained popularity, so too did the ethical debates surrounding it. Critics argued that memory manipulation was a slippery slope, one that could lead to the erasure of identity and the fabrication of false realities. Elara found herself at the center of a storm, her work both celebrated and condemned. One evening, as she sat in her office, poring over research papers, a sudden knock at the door startled her. Standing in the doorway was a woman she had never seen before, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and desperation. "Dr. Voss," the woman said, her voice trembling. "I need to talk to you about my husband. He was one of your patients." Elara's heart sank as she realized the implications of her work were far more complex than she had ever imagined. --- #### Chapter 5: The Reckoning The woman, Marie, explained that her husband, Pierre, had undergone Optogenesis to erase the memory of a traumatic accident. But in doing so, he had also forgotten their love, their shared history, and the very essence of their relationship. "He's a stranger to me now," Marie said, her voice breaking. "You took away more than just his pain. You took away our life together." Elara listened, her mind racing. She had always believed that Optogenesis could bring healing, but she had never considered the ripple effects, the unintended consequences of memory manipulation. "I'm sorry, Marie," Elara said, her voice heavy with regret. "I never meant for this to happen." Marie looked at her, tears streaming down her face. "It's too late for apologies, Dr. Voss. You need to fix this." --- #### Chapter 6: The Choice Elara found herself at a crossroads. She could continue her work, pushing the boundaries of Optogenesis and risking the ethical quagmire that came with it. Or she could step back, reassess, and find a way to mitigate the damage she had already done. She thought of Luc, of Pierre, of all the lives she had touched. She thought of the power she held in her hands, the ability to rewrite the past and shape the future. And she made her choice. Elara Voss, the visionary neuroscientist, stepped away from Optogenesis. She turned her focus to understanding the ethical implications of memory manipulation, to finding ways to heal without erasing the essence of who we are. In the end, she realized that the true power of memory lay not in its manipulation, but in its acceptance—in embracing the past, both the joy and the pain, and using it to shape a better future. --- ### Epilogue: The Legacy Years later, Elara sat in her office, surrounded by stacks of research papers and the hum of quiet contemplation. She had become a different kind of pioneer, one who sought to bridge the gap between science and ethics, between progress and humanity. Outside, the city of Neo-Paris glittered under the starlit sky, a testament to the endless possibilities of the human mind. And within that city, people lived their lives, their memories intact, their identities whole. Elara Voss had changed the world, not with light and shadow, but with wisdom and compassion. And in doing so, she had left a legacy that would endure for generations to come. --- ### The End

because TMSRs don’t require water, they could also be built underground and in arid areas.

That’s crazy “cool”


Developing that tech is going to be like developing the first steam engine


I guess this news is legit, bigger players like catl are scheduling ssb for next year or 2026 maximum. This tech will probably make batteries naysayers shut up forever


An alternative store from epic is already available https://www.wired.com/story/epic-games-store-eu-launch-vs-apple/

I’m waiting for chat providers(wa, tg, etc) interoperability now




You’d be downvoted anyway today, thanks to crowdstrike



Even an AI is good enough to avoid (or let someone avoid) pushing a similar bug 🫣

Llamafile is from Mozilla, but you know they’re a company and must have one foot in two camps…


No, llamafile Is local, and it could do multiple search engine for you, or skip results contained in the first pages which are usually only ads or there because they pay to be there. And it could start searching the fediverse too



Llamafile with tinyllama model is 640mb. It could be a flag to enable or an extension




Whenever I read #facepalm I think of the pre

Are you sure the problem is miui and not android 13 ?






Can anybody summarize it? Chinese is developing challenging chipsets despite all possible bans?



PCs are getting common devices in all houses: you start cracking software, then you buy a couple of them, in the end you look for opensource versions. That’s how it often goes. The same applies to operating systems


I don’t even believe this is a serious article, it sounds like a Simpson’s episode plot. Let’s ask sunglasses manufacturers to protest so that we prevent this plan (I’m Matt Groening)
