The BBC has increasingly been anti-semitic. First, the baseless allegations of starving and murdering children in Gaza and now this. Troubling times.

Those don't have DPO/GRPO which arguably made some parts of RL obsolete.

check out cs 336 stanford, they cover DPO/GRPO and relevant parts needed to train LLMs.

There's no way I am using such an important piece of life as an IDE from Google just because I know they are going to kill it within 3 years, if it survives that much. Probably will die with the Windsurf guy jumping ship again.

Joran from TigerBeetle here!

Zig has changed my life, and our team, by making TigerBeetle possible. It's been an incredible journey these past 5 years, and excited that we can now pay it back (and forward!) to the Zig Software Foundation, also matching with my friend Derek Collison and Synadia in doing so.

Thanks to Andrew for creating something beautifully special for the world in Zig, and to all the Zig core team and communities.

If you don't yet donate to the foundation, please consider doing so: https://ziglang.org/zsf/

How would you onboard a software engineer who doesn't know zig if you were to do so? Learning tips?

Still use pinboard which seems more than enough for me. But I would happily pay for a pinboard that has better search and more responsive customer service.

I still haven't got access to GPT-5 (plus user in US), and I am not really super looking forward to it given I would lose access to o3. o3 is a great reasoning and planning model (better than Claude Opus in planning IMO and cheaper) that I use in the UI as well as through API. I don't think OpenAI should force users to an advanced model if there is not a noticeable difference in capability. But I guess it saves them money? Someone posted on X how giving access to only GPT-5 and GPT-5 thinking reduces a plus user's overall weekly request rate.

How suitable is 10" for PDF reading? Is the font too small? Do various e-readers allow PDF content to reflow?

I have been considering Boox Air 3C. PDFs are important for me.

Thanks.

It works fine I would say. In the absence of a bigger screen with proportional DPI (kindle scribe is 300 which is one of the highest in terms of screen size), kindle scribe is one of the better options still IMO.

Onyx Boox Tab X is a good option. The new Remarkable Pro with colour is probably a good option as well.

Isn't remarkable pro the same size as Kindle scribe? Their website says 10.8 x 7.8 inches.

I wish they would do a bigger size kindle scribe. I read pdfs all day on my scribe, and often I wish the screen was bigger so the font size would be large.
