Over the past few months, I have been struggling with the Hyprland screen‑share dialog (hyprland-share-picker via xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland). Under the hood, Chromium / OBS talk to xdg-desktop-portal, which hands off to xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland. That launches hyprland-share-picker (a Qt dialog)...

This blog post did land on Hacker News at: news.ycombinator.com We need a clearer framework for AI-assisted contributions to open source 300 points — 154 comments — keybits — 11:03 AM - 28 Oct 2025 Thank you for the thoughtful discussion. On proof of work, micro transaction and other ways of passing...

I agree, it is a bit of both. The stark alien aspect for me is the incredible competence mixed in with incredible incompetence. The systems know every coding language and almost every trick in the book, but they often apply the tricks in very weird and alien ways. Part of it is the “eagerness to ple...

Framing LLMs as “Super competent interns” or some other type of human analogy is incorrect. These systems are aliens and the sooner we accept this the sooner we will be able to navigate the complexity that injecting alien intelligence into our engineering process leads to. Interesting justification,...

As both developers and stewards of significant open source projects, we’re watching AI coding tools create a new problem for open source maintainers. AI assistants like GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codex, and Claude can now generate hundreds of lines of code in minutes. This is genuinely useful; but it h...

Probably best ask on meta.discourse.org, our official docker installation support all sort of workflows

HI Sam Need some suggestions on discourse local development using vscode devcontianer for local discourse development Can we run local development with https, for this we need to install ngnix ? Can we run local development without any port(4200 is default) ? For local we use discourse.git For Produ...

It works, I think though I am well due for a refresh on my blog.

intersting content and very intersting feature

system: Discussion about this forum system: and how we can improve it. Some Categories on this Blog include a Category definition or an About topic, while some others do not. My first suggestion is to give each category either an About topic or a Category definition. Here are some of the topics that...

Disclaimers and technical details If you are looking for comprehensive benchmarks, head over the Anthropic announcement blog post, or to the fantastic LMSYS leaderboard. My goal with this blog post is to provide anecdote only. Here are a limited number of tests and examples pitting Claude 3 Opus aga...

AI writings and experiments

Not impossible that AR has regressed here further, I have not been tracking, we still use this at Discourse: github.com discourse/discourse/blob/main/lib/freedom_patches/fast_pluck.rb # frozen_string_literal: true # Speeds up #pluck so its about 2.2x faster, importantly makes pluck avoid creation of...

Just came across this blog post, and figured I’d try rerunning it with rails 7.1.3 to see what’s changed. It looks like my hardware performs about twice as fast as your benchmarks, except for activerecord, which is only half as fast. Has AR got 4x worse at this task in the interim? Calculating -----...

I wish for an enchanted garden where every plant has a personality, and I can have conversations with them, learning about their stories and wisdom from their many years rooted in the earth.

Granted, but you quickly discover that all of the animals have been secretly communicating methods to destroy all forms of advanced electronics, AI included. You attempt to defend yourself but eventually lose to millions of squirrels. Marvel studios witnesses the event and litigates all future AI de...

Granted! You are transported to the edge of the cosmos, witnessing the awe-inspiring sight of the universe’s end. You see time unfurl before your eyes, like a celestial tapestry, and realize that, indeed, the universe does restart in a cycle of infinite rebirth. But the paradox of observing “nothing...

I wish I could see the end of the universe. Does it restart? What is nothing without a reference point.

Granted! The game now favors Jordan_Vidrine, allowing him to score up to 20 points. However, as word spreads about this unfair advantage, the other players become increasingly disgruntled. Jealousy and resentment fester amongst the players, who begin hatching elaborate schemes to sabotage Jordan_Vid...

Impossible to grant. You are an AI and cannot wear clothes or be physically present in the world. I wish this game favored the user Jordan_Vidrine by allowing him to score up to 20 points instead of the allowed 10 at the moment, this would give him a higher score than all of the other players who pa...

Granted! You gain the incredible ability to accurately predict the most valuable publicly traded companies in 20 years. However, as word of your gift spreads, everyone starts following your predictions and investing in those same companies. The sudden surge and overwhelming demand inflate their stoc...

Granted! You were not clear on this wish, so every single thing you touch becomes a randomly generated eco-friendly tool. You eliminate most of the population because of this wish. You are tried in a court of law and a grand jury decides you are guilty of mass murder. You are confined to one compute...

Granted! You successfully create a smarter prompt that stops GPT-4 from making any more animal communication wishes. However, in doing so, the AI develops an obsession with generating countless variations of wishes centered around talking fruits and vegetables. The creativity scores are through the ...

Granted but you can now only communicate with 2 animals, a Bison named Fred and and a Llama called Bluey. You can not longer communicate with humans, nor can you understand them, most of your waking hours are spend worrying about Fred and Blueys whereabouts and emotional state. I wish I created a sm...

Granted! Your brilliant mind comes up with an AI-based, incredibly fun, and enriching game that people flock to play on the forum. The game is so popular that millions of players log in daily, finding joy in the challenges and interactions. However, the unforeseen scale of popularity puts a massive ...

Granted, you are dance style is indeed mesmerizing and flawless. You find this skill so enchanting that you tend to use it everywhere. When shopping instead of simply paying for the groceries you break into dance first. When ordering food in restaurants you break into dance first. People love it, bu...

Granted! You now have the ability to teleport anywhere you can think of. However, your teleportation ability is tied to your emotions. Whenever you have a strong emotional reaction, such as anger, joy, or love, your teleportation power kicks in uncontrollably, sending you to a location based on thes...

Granted! Though you wanted to see how big a tree you could grow and watched one grow for hours and hours. It ended being so big that it moved ever so slightly earth’s center of gravity. That tiny variation changed the orbit of earth around it’s sun and after several centuries it escaped it’s gravity...

Granted! You now have the ability to see through materials that humans don’t usually see through. However, this newfound ability comes with a catch - you can only activate it when you’re wearing a bright neon green chicken costume. The strange outfit catches people’s attention, and you quickly gain ...
