Why NSOpenPanel Can't See Your Android Device

All tests run on an 8-year-old MacBook Air. When I was building HiyokoMTP, I hit a limitation that seems obvious in hindsight: you can't use a native macOS folder picker to browse an Android device over MTP. NSOpenPanel — the standard macOS file dialog — has no idea your Android device exists. It only sees what Finder mounts, and Finder doesn't mount MTP devices as a proper volume. So the entire native folder selection API is useless for this use case. macOS exposes the file system to apps throu

RAG - Hybrid search and RAG pipeline using FAISS DB

Hybrid Search Hybrid search is a combination of dense embeddings and sparse embeddings. Dense embeddings focus on semantic meaning, while sparse embeddings focus on exact keyword matching. By combining both approaches, hybrid search improves retrieval accuracy and relevance. OpenSearch is commonly used as a search engine for: Log analysis Observability and monitoring One of the key features of OpenSearch is hybrid search, which combines: Vector search (dense retrieval) BM25-based search (spars

Why ROU Asset Depreciation Checks Fail When Schedule And Journal Logic Drift

The depreciation problem usually gets reported as a journal problem. Someone sees a depreciation expense that looks off. The export no longer ties cleanly. The journal layer gets blamed first. In practice, the bug is usually upstream by the time anyone opens the journal tab. Most IFRS 16 depreciation failures are drift failures. The schedule still looks plausible. The closing ROU asset is still in the right ballpark. What broke was one of the connections underneath it: the liability was remeasur
