Yes I think so. Her resume says she started working for Intel on open source graphics driver this month.
Too bad it was not Apple who hired her for M4, but in business leaders are always the most closed ones.

Is Hyperland the thing that finally convinces hacker types that Wayland is the future? A Wayland compositor that gives you Xorg like scripting via a UNIX control socket, easy to set up, and is much much less opinionated than GNOME.
So many of the criticisms of Wayland around the internet end up being things that Mutter doesn't let you control directly.
Hyperland is one part (it's amazing), but the other is a distro embracing the keyboard 100% and not treating it as an option where I need to think about how to set it up.
The only problem I have is that I bought a new beelink Pro9, put Omarchy on it and Hyperland locks up every day, and I don't know if it’s only me or not.

From the article:
People are also more likely to click into web content that helps them learn more — such as an in-depth review, an original post, a unique perspective or a thoughtful first-person analysis
So... not the blog spam that was previously prioritized by Google Search? It's almost as if SEO had some downsides they are only just now discovering.
Google search never prioritized blog spam, spammers optimized their spam around Google's ranking algorithm

What kind of things are you coding while “on the road”? Phone addiction aside, the UX of tapping prompts into my phone and either collaborating with an agent, or waiting for a background agent to do its thing, is not very appealing.
Mainly thinking about what are the minimum testable changes that I can give to codex to work on the background.
Tapping the prompts in is the easy part, but async model is different to work with, I feel more like a manager, not a co-developer.

Good to see competition for Codex. I think cloud-based async agents like Codex and Jules are superior to the Claude Code/Aider/Cursor style of local integration. It's much safer to have them completely isolated from your own machine, and the loop of sending them commands, doing your own thing on your PC and then checking back whenever is way better than having to set up git worktrees or any other type of sandbox yourself
I agree but I just love codex-1 model that is powering codex and see pro 2.5 as inferior.
It's interesting that most people seem to prefer local code, I love that it allows me to code from my mobile phone while on the road.
we have always been building in the open, and so is Ollama. All the core pieces of Ollama are open. There are areas where we want to be opinionated on the design to build the world we want to see.
There are areas we will make money, and I wholly believe if we follow our conscious we can create something amazing for the world while making sure we can keep it fueled to keep it going for the long term.
Some of the ideas in Turbo mode (completely optional) is to serve the users who want a faster GPU, and adding in additional capabilities like web search. We loved the experience so much that we decided to give web search to non-paid users too. (Again, it's fully optional). Now to prevent abuse and make sure our costs don't go out of hand, we require login.
Can't we all just work together and create a better world? Or does it have to be so zero sum?
I wanted to try web search to increase my privacy but it wanted to do login.
For Turbo mode I understand the need for paying but the main poing of running a local model with web search is browsing from my computer without using any LLM provider. Also I want to get rid of the latency to US servers from Europe.
If ollama can't do it, maybe a fork.
xiphias2 commented on “No tax on tips” is an industry plant newyorker.com/magazine/20... · Posted by u/littlexsparkee
What confuses me most is when you are given the option to give a tip before any service has been given. On deliveroo, for example, I have the option to tip the driver while I'm at the checkout. Why would I give a reward for good service when I have no idea if the service is even good? There's already a rider fee as part of my bill, so it doesn't make any sense to me to give them more money at that point
It might be a way for them to prioritize your order before others as they see how much money they earn, so actually it's a bidding process disguised as tipping. I'm not sure if it's shown in the backend though, but I have seen things like this in other delivery apps.
>Brussels is reacting with new support plans
Pure insanity. The money the government or the EU in this case, has, comes from corporations who pay taxes or people who work for the corporations and then pay taxes.
The government financially supporting corporations is just giving the profits of one company to another company. Which does exactly nothing to make the economy at large better. It also punishes successful corporations, because they now have to pay for the losses of other sectors.
What is desperately needed are better conditions for business. First and foremost the electricity prices have to come down. You can not have successful industry with electricity prices this high. The entire continent is suffering from it yet the measures taken to do anything about it are miniscule. Europe needs energy production right now to keep it's industry afloat.
Energy prices in Europe went up because US didn't want Europe to import cheap gas from its natural neigbour continent.
Everybody who really wants knows which country benefited the most from the Nordstream pipeline being destroyed.
Of course I agree with all the other points that you have made, but at least this part wasn't just Brussels administration.

4o is not even a coding model and very far from the best coding models OpenAI has, I seriously don't understand why these articles are upvoted so much
