I am using FreeBSD, not DragonflyBSD, but I happen to be on a DragonflyBSD developer mailing list, which is normally low traffic, except that I have noticed recently a lot of messages with various patches, mentioning both bug fixes and newly implemented features.
So the project is alive and it seems more active than previously.
There is some uptick in interest in various BSDs as a linux alternative given the rough few months it's been having. I know 2 companies that are trying to see if they can switch some edge nginx proxies to run on OpenBSD. A RCE in a TCP handshake is up there tbf
Interesting to hear / read this. I know OpenBSD has made a lot of improvement in the past 2 - 3 years on performance. But I would have thought for heavy traffic it is still not anywhere near FreeBSD or Linux.
But I guess we are at the point security is important and hardware ( CPUs ) is relatively cheap?
I don't see any mention of it in the comments so far - but looks like at least orchestrator model mode selection sets permissions to turbo (yolo) by default!
This when antigravity already has a pretty solid "auto" mode.
If you have the audio, models should be able to pick out who's who. Easier if everyone present themselves obviously.
My vibeslop tries to do it - I'm checking if I can just opene the code (it's python, so it's not exactly closed) - but even just going by the interface I think you get the idea:
Interesting. Maybe I can Kill one of my vibecoded atrocities now. It was born from similar frustrations - to find a good way to record audio for small meetings on a phone (there are foss options for Android - but I need one tool to recommend; https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Voice-Recorder might be one) - transcription and summation with speaker identification in correct language, support for using list of speaker and agenda to aid transcription - all done locally. Even getting the recorded audio from android to Mac - for example localsend can help).
I didn't tackle all - but a few in a python script wrapped in cosmopolitan libc. Works on Mac, seemingly Linux (Terminal on chromeOS) - possibly windows (laptop just about back from repairs, not tested yet).
It's an experiment - source not open yet - and op is probably better.
I'm going to assume you mean since 2020ish and include ongoing series that span that?
Martha Wells - Murderbot series (the AppleTV series is entertaining - but understandably drops some of the inner monologue. As usual read books first).
AnnaLinden Weller aka Arkady Martine "A Memory Called Empire" (first in series).
William Gibson - Jackpot trilogy: The Peripheral (2014), Agency (2020)
TV series is great (and cancelled) - books better...
Maybe too old:
"Lady Astronaut" series by Mary Robinette Kowal.
Kim Stanley Robinson "New York 2140".
On a side note I enjoyed Richard Morgan's "No Man's Land" - but it's alternative history fantasy - not sci-fi.
Displays in a helmet aren't "display glasses" because they're not glasses.
Display glasses are a subset of HMD's, a more specific term. The "display" part of it implies that they're monitor replacements -- both in their interface (DisplayPort alt-mode) and an FOV suitable for monitor replacement.
Finally, being a monitor replacement implies a mostly-2D view, in contrast to XR/VR/AR which implies 3D.
I paid $600; it's a little steep but I use them plenty to justify it (probably wear them 3-4 hours a week on average).
Yes, there are prescription inserts that you get with the glasses.
I only use one setting, and it isn't ultra-wide screen or anything.
Visually the text is worse than looking at text on a laptop screen (or any other screen); the advantage is in the neck. It's so much better not having to look down.
They are good for gaming and movies. Not too great to read text though. You can use them to work (read/write code), but it’s not a great experience imho. The resolution isn’t good enough to feel that I want to work with them.
Best steam deck experience I’ve ever had though. Sekiro and Elden Ring with a giant virtual display is fantastic
I find them awesome for reading text, but I generally plug them into my phone, It's usually displaying much larger fonts than you'd use on a computer.
As a rule of thumb, you probably want a font size similar to what you'd use on a 12 or 14 inch screen. People code quite well on 12 - 14 inch displays but it's not the advertised "57 inch screen equivalent" if you're displaying text.
I don't think anyone seriously think that 5g and VoIP voice quality is bad - but latency is absolutely a problem, especially in group calls.
