@wyatt @hatzka If I had to guess, these fundamental changes have happened since the XFree86 era:

1. Internationalization: Personal computer use has expanded out of the Americas and western Europe. Asia in particular brings a need for large glyph sets, contextual glyph shaping, diacritic stacking, bidirectional writing, top-to-bottom writing, and antialiasing to make small curves easier to distinguish. How well does X11's font paradigm handle these, as opposed to relying on "modern" toolkits to shove bitmaps around?

2. High density: People expect things to appear the same size on more than one display connected to one computer even if one has more pixels per millimeter than the other.

3. Privacy: Computer networks have become much less trusted over the past few decades. There was demand to deter publishers of proprietary applications from surreptitiously activating a keylogger or screen logger to exfiltrate your data in other applications.

Either my understanding of #Bidi is off, or Jordan Police screw up their Bidi

OpenAI가 실시간 상호대화형 오디오를 목표로 하는 양방향(BiDi) 오디오 모델을 개발 중이라는 발표입니다. 기존의 턴 기반 음성 시스템과 달리 상대가 말하는 도중에도 AI가 중간에 반응을 조정하고 자연스러운 대화를 가능하게 하는 기술로, 음성 대화 경험의 패러다임 변화를 예고합니다.

OpenAI Developing Real-Time Conversational Audio OpenAI is building a new bidirectional (BiDi) audio model designed to make AI conversations feel far more natural. Unlike today’s turn-based voice systems - where the AI waits for you to finish and can’t adjust mid-response - BiDi

What’s the latest on #BiDi scripts? Am looking for an up to date resource or set of resources to put together an introductory lecture for a course on #Persian #manuscripts this summer. My knowledge is now a few years behind.

Ever wondered how a link can look safe but hide a trap? Cybercriminals are using a Unicode trick called the BiDi Swap to make fake URLs appear legit. Find out how this sneaky hack works and how to stay one step ahead.

#V2H #bidi with additional external hardware (estimated US$7.3-$7.5K) but no #V2L in this new GM Chevy Bolt which is a US$29K #EV

“Not only does the Bolt charge faster [at 150kW], it also has new discharging capabilities… in the form of bidirectional charging. The new Bolt supports GM Energy’s V2H home products, and can offload power at 9.6kW(!).

However, in terms of V2L onboard power, there are no 120V plugs available”

Congress Kerala compared Bihar to bidis in a now-deleted tweet criticizing GST reforms. BJP and JD(U) condemned the post as insulting. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/bidi-and-bihar-both-start-with-b-congress-keralas-post-sparks-row-later-withdrawn-almcml0r?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #congress #bihar #bidi #gst #kerala

#Bidirectional charging does not just mean communicating with the vehicle in the right language. It also means complying with strict requirements of the AC grid and, on the DC side, of the vehicle battery.
