About Low Points
Shi Yuqi, the men's singles player from China's national badminton team (Olympic seed number one), unfortunately lost to Kun Kun (Kunlavut) in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Paris Olympics. It's regrettable that we couldn't see him showcasing his spirit in the finals, but I really liked what he said, so I’ll quote it here:
We should head back tomorrow; the next goal is the Finals. Don’t worry, everyone. It’s normal to feel upset, but it’s also okay to have such emotions. I know that no one is blaming or criticizing me; you all feel bad or unhappy for me, and I appreciate that.
Congratulations to the Chinese badminton team for achieving a good result and contributing to the Chinese contingent. Although I didn’t win a medal, I gained countless supporters during my preparation, and that feeling is wonderful. Everyone is working hard for the same goal.
We don’t need to dwell too much on the results now; I hope everyone can lift their spirits. No matter the twists and turns you encounter on your road, you must believe this is part of life’s journey. I don’t define myself solely by this Olympic experience. There will always be highs and lows, good and bad. It’s okay; we can start over, and the wheels of fate will keep turning.
Thank you again for your support; not leaving when I’m at a low point is the best comfort for me. Keep going.
In badminton, the current scoring system is best of three games to 21 points. Losing a point can easily affect the next point in the match; the more points you lose, the greater the impact. Therefore, maintaining a positive mindset is crucial in badminton competitions. Often, during breaks, coaches will say to forget the previous score and start from zero. This is because, regardless of how large the disadvantage or advantage is, points are earned one by one. Being anxious won’t help; it’s about reviewing why points were lost and making adjustments, and understanding why points were gained to keep the momentum going.

TAURI 2.0 RC Release
The first release candidate (RC) of Tauri 2.0 has finally been launched. This version, which has undergone over six months of testing, marks the stability of Tauri 2. The development team values community feedback and plans to focus on improving documentation and fixing critical bugs within a shorter release candidate cycle.
In this candidate version, the team has clarified expectations and timelines for the stable version, emphasizing that they do not wish to overcommit, especially regarding mobile support. While the currently available mobile plugins allow developers to create production-ready mobile applications, the team acknowledges that the mobile development experience still needs improvement.
The stable version is expected to be released at the end of August, with clearer documentation and fewer critical bugs. Notably, developers should pay attention to breaking changes primarily related to how core plugin permissions are referenced.
Additionally, the team has partially refactored the Rust API to enhance security and conducted external security audits to ensure all reported issues have been addressed. The author calls for more community members to get involved in the Tauri project to promote cross-platform application development.
OpenAI Introduces Structured Outputs in the API
Last year at DevDay, we introduced the JSON schema—a very useful building block for developers looking to build reliable applications with our models. While the JSON schema can enhance model reliability and generate valid JSON outputs, it does not guarantee that the model's responses will conform to a specific schema. Today, we are launching structured outputs in the API, a new feature designed to ensure that the outputs generated by the model will fully comply with the JSON schema provided by developers.
Generating structured data from unstructured input is one of the core use cases for AI in today's applications. Developers use the OpenAI API to build powerful assistants capable of retrieving data and answering questions via function calls, extracting structured data for data entry, and constructing multi-step agent workflows that allow LLMs to perform actions. Developers have long been addressing limitations in this area through open-source tools, prompts, and repeated requests to ensure that model outputs match the formats required for interoperability with their systems. Structured outputs address this issue by constraining OpenAI models to match the patterns provided by developers and by training our models to better understand complex patterns.
In our evaluation of complex JSON schemas, our new model gpt-4o-2024-08-06 with structured outputs scored a perfect 100%. In contrast, gpt-4-0613 scored less than 40%.

Vue3 Compiler Source Code Analysis Tutorial
This book aims not only to help you understand the Vue source code involved but also to teach you how to debug and understand the Vue source code you want to know.
Therefore, the writing style of this book is very detailed, documenting every step of debugging a specific issue, allowing you to easily start debugging by following the steps outlined in the text.
Moreover, this book will not overlook any details involved; to avoid overly bulky content, I will remove any source code that is unrelated to the content.
This book uses vite to create a local project and then debug the Vue source code within that project. The version of vue is 3.4.19, and the version of @vitejs/plugin-vue is 5.0.4.
