There are quite a few mature projects in 0.x that would cause a LOT of pain if they actually applied semver.

I am generally of the opinion that version numbers do not matter at all until the author/distributor has GUARANTEED that they do. Until then they’re worthless, including in places where semver is supposedly enforced like NPM. If I had a penny for every NPM package that broke my project after removing the package-lock.json, I could retire.

It’s already a thing with near-zero delay. MS Teams does it (dunno about the translation) and the QSMP Minecraft server has a bunch of livestreamers from different countries who use it for realtime translation.

[EDIT: Live demo from today. Shit’s impressive.]

What actually happens is that the current sentence gets “corrected” several times as you keep speaking. It’s a bit jittery and if the word order differs significantly then the translated sentence might be a bit wonky for a few seconds, and there are a few misses but overall it works really well; at least well enough that people who don’t speak each others’ language can have a conversation in their native tongues with essentially no more delay than reading speed. I can easily follow a livestream in a foreign language with the live subtitles (which was not the case a mere 6 months ago for any language other than English).

That turquoise stuff and they skybox definitely aren’t real polygons. The trees on the left are kind of transparent. This is just midjourney or similar.

However I reckon existing transformer architectures would manage to output 3D models just fine given sufficient training data and compute power. Generating grammatically-correct files is what GitHub copilot already does with other languages (I tried, it does not seem to support .obj though). It would definitely be interesting for procedural game generation, in fact I would be surprised to learn that nobody is working on something like this.

Contrary to what you seem to be suggesting, Hamas is not participating in the Eurovision Song Contest. Shocking, I know.

Let’s just appreciate for a moment how great of a choice Ode to Joy is for the European Anthem. It’s a very memorable tune which honestly kind of slaps in a way that few anthems do.

Still not as great as La Marseillaise (which is not even a song, but a war chant meant to be hollered), but one of the best anthems out there nonetheless.

The title of the post is literally “I love my Gitea”.

The content of them meme does conflate “git” with its various frontends (like gitea), but it’s an incredibly common misnomer so who cares?

The person I responded to then went on a weird rant about how “git by itself is distributed” which is completely irrelevant to the point since OP’s Gitea provides a whole lot more.

You’re completely missing the point. Even Gitea (much simpler than GitHub, nevermind GitLab) is much more than a git backend. It’s viewable in a browser, renders markdown, has integrated CI functionality, and so on.

Even for my meager self-host use-case, being able to view markdown docs in the browser is useful from time to time, even on my phone.

As for the things I use (a self-hosted) GitLab instance at work for… that doesn’t even scratch the surface.
