This one is in Norwegian, but should be easy enough to translate if anyone’s interested :wink:

Really nice article. I was able to decode in raw mode with my pieces of dansk and svenska :slight_smile:

That’s a really nice and detailled article,I like it :+1:
I just want to comment on one statement that is wrong: “C# and .Net doesn’t exist on Haiku yet” - It was ported as a GSoC project in 2023 and while it’s not completely upstreamed yet and still somewhat tricky to use,it does exist.
More info: [GSOC 2023] .NET Port
Also,the situation with JS-heavy sites in WebPositive may drastically improve with the switch to WebKit 2 which allows to split stuff in multiple processes,a slow page will no longer slow down your whole browser.

Oh, I didn’t expect to see my video here!

Is that AI generated?

EDIT: the article is either AI Slop or extremely poorly researched.

Not sure how reliable those AI detection tools are,never had a need for them so far,but QuillBot shows an AI likeliness of 94% for a large part of the text.
Also,I see a few obvious factual errors in the text,for example it claims that Haiku has a microkernel which isn’t true.
It’s nice if Haiku gets more attention in the media,but not sure how much that helps if the articles are AI slop and/or badly researched.

Maybe we should avoid linking to bad quality articles here (AI generated or otherwise poorly researched). It gives them more exposure than they deserve.

If there is misinformation about Haiku out there, I think the community should be aware of that, to be able to respond. I don’t see it as an endorsement, just as information. But yes, it adds to the article’s SEO visibility, that’s just how the web is. I’m prepared to go with the majority on this issue.

There is no need to reason or to argue with the authors of AI generated content, their goal is not to produce anything good but trick users long enough that they get some advertising revenue, nothing more.

We can’t engage or fix AI slob, it is just a kind of garbage we now have to avoid in the interwebs. If some actual outlet gets something wrong feel free to engage, but for AI slob the only thing that helps is ignoring it.

On a side note, when will we have a search engine with a black/whitelist for this junk? It would be awesome to search for stuff while beeing able to skip AI slob generators or useless aggregators…

There are various ones available already, for example https://marginalia-search.com can be useful sometimes.

But being run essentially by a single person, it doesn’t have the crawling power of Google, and, depending on what you search, may not be as good. I use it mainly as a complement to traditional search engines when searching for more obsure things.

The BeOS illustration pic in an earlier chapter made me bug for a minute:

Wow 3 shady ads pop up immediately when clicking the link…:thinking:

A recent article which might bring some additional visibility to Haiku :
