You shouldn’t put up with Vercel using YOUR code as AI training. Time to move to better alternatives.
Reminder: Not every hosting company has a CEO that cozies up to a genocidal war criminal, but Vercel does 🙃
Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics
I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)

PHP Statistics v1.5.0 is out, with non-linear regressions.
To celebrate 100K downloads, I wrote about decoding GPX running data with real statistics (outlier detection and trend forecasting).

I’ve been thinking about this for days. Incredible stochastic algorithm, gets more reliable the larger your input, incredibly fast, trivial to implement and deterministic on its inputs. It really has so much going for it.

@ramsey Yeah, I’ve noticed a distinct drop in quality since coworkers started using LLMs.
It’s hard to be sure, because it’s made me judge every PR more harshly anyway. But I notice some distinct patterns, like specifying default values unnecessarily.
And usually a failure to notice appropriate opportunities for abstraction (because hey, the LLM is so good at boilerplate that we don’t need to worry about that any more, right?)
We had a couple of big PRs of ‘nice-to-have’ features that were too low-priority ever to get done. Vibecoding meant they were initially written in a couple of hours — but then they took literal weeks of back and forth in code review to get them into a tolerable state.
This was so much fun to build! It really nicely showcases potential open source font options for e-readers.

I plan on expanding the mini-site so people can just download the fonts via here, and include more information about the fonts, licensing etc. here as well.
I also have two new fonts lined up that aren't part of the v3.x branch yet that are really awesome and the product of MANY hours of tinkering.
