  1. If folks have ever seen “ed25519” - say when generating an ssh key, and wondered what it meant and how that tiny thing could still be secure

  2. My experience so far- much less reliable. Though it’s been in chat not opencode or antigravity etc. you give it a program and say change it in this way, and it just throws stuff away, changes unrelated stuff etc. completely different quality than pro (or sonnet 4.5 / GPT-5.2)
  3. The parent comment is referring to a human editor, not a text editor.
  4. The sponsorships achieved by the author is admirable - they really make a lot of valuable oss.

  5. GitHub repo is a bit more helpful, but users or building of text editors that use tree-sitter.

    Or... website text editors which historically have had imperfect syntax highlighting.

    Notice the Zed sponsorship.

  6. gifs / stickers / search stuff
  7. IIUC this is only true if you "Allow full access"

    From 3rd party keyboard agreement:

    > If you do not enable Full Access, developers are not permitted to collect and transmit the data you type. Any unauthorized collection or transmission of this data without your permission would be a violation of their developer agreement. Furthermore, there are also technical limitations in effect to prevent unauthorized access.

  8. Highly recommend Gboard.

    I've been using it for years- much better at recognizing and more performant.

  9. It doesn't mention it in the article, but guessing this is based on / inspired by AlphaEvolve?

    Though I'm not sure the public can access AlphaEvolve yet.

  10. I played this a lot as a kid. There are so many "levels" - it's fantastic and addictive - but like in a good way where you're using your brain.
  11. Why is Grok attributed to Elon Musk rather than xAI?
  12. ah thanks, you're right - I didn't think to look in subfolders. genuinely never seen a license in a subfolder before.
  13. Whether or not something is "free" is a separate matter and subject to how the software is licensed. If there is no license it is, by definition "source available", not open source. "source available" is not some new distinction I'm making up.

    See my other comment: https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=46175760

  14. No it is not. There is no license in that repository.

    > When you make a creative work (which includes code), the work is under exclusive copyright by default. Unless you include a license that specifies otherwise, nobody else can copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation. Once the work has other contributors (each a copyright holder), “nobody” starts including you.

  15. It would be "source available", if anything, not "open source".

    > An open-source license is a type of license for computer software and other products that allows the source code, blueprint or design to be used, modified or shared (with or without modification) under defined terms and conditions.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source

    Companies have been really abusing what open source means- claiming something is "open source" cause they share the code and then having a license that says you can't use any part of it in any way.

    Similarly if you ever use that software or depending on where you downloaded it from, you might have agreed not to decompile or read the source code. Using that code is a gamble.

  16. That is... astronomically different. Is GPT-5.1 downscaling and losing critical information or something? How could it be so different?
  17. It's very llm-y. But, kudos to them for preserving the commit history / being honest about it.
  18. This would lend itself well to a live-coding/live-music experience.

    I played around with a similar idea on my own (very simple / poor) text music environment:

    https://github.com/jasonjmcghee/vscode-extension-playground?...

    in the middle of making an extension to allow making vs code extensions live because I wanted a faster development feedback loop.
