People still use WezTerm when we have Kitty and Ghostty? Can you explain why? I'm actually interested to know what would make someone make that choice.

Deepseek, Qwen, GLM (quite good). All being open and available for local use definitely puts them ahead in that space, which means a lot of the tinkerers and younger people learning to do things like train and fine-tune are getting good with Chinese models and I do think getting in early like that is a great way to gain mindshare in a space. Look at Apple or Microsoft doing everything they could early on to get their machines and software into schools as early as possible.

If you really need a lot of VRAM cheap rocm still supports the amd MI50 and you can get 32gb versions of the MI50 on alibaba/aliexpress for around $150-$250 each. A few people on r/localllama have shown setups with multiple MI50s running with 128gb of VRAM and doing a decent job with large models. Obviously it won't running as fast as any brand new GPUs because of memory bandwidth and a few other things, but more than fast enough to be usable.

This can end up getting you 128gb of VRAM for under $1000.

I use emotions-analyzer-bert for this classifying content in a similar way. It's very small and very fast, under a gig of vram in use.

I've used vivid nearly every day since the week the first m1 MacBook Pro came out, no damage to my screen at all.

Default Folder X is a huge improvement to Finder, specifically open and save windows. It's in SetApp too.

Multiple articles and interviews have said it was the Sicilian Mafia / La Cosa Nostra.

"The Five Families - the Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese - have ruled the city's Italian American mafia since 1931."

"The Five Families are part of the larger American-Sicilian mafia operation known as La Cosa Nostra"

I have, and I still think it's idiotic. I don't do any layout work, ever. And I see no future where I will. I don't need all of that in the software I use to do any photo editing.

Nope. No more updates and it's removed from the app stores.

I don't understand this thread at all. I think this is the first time I have seen a thread that talks about something requiring a new account be created at some company, and a nonsensical major change to a product (merging the products into one, optional subscriptions) where the majority of people seem to be saying "thats ok and good luck" to the company. Worse, people who are upset this has happened to software they liked are getting downvoted. These three pieces of software are not the same tool and them all being shoehorned into one UI is just idiotic.

It feels like the thread is being astroturfed.

They removed our software that we paid for from the Mac Store, and everyone is just like "thats fine, good move canva". Serif did a great job of keeping their software working through macOS major version updates. It's another reason many of us paid for their software. That's gone, and people are just cheering them on. It's very confusing.

EQBench puts Gemini in 22nd for creative writing and I've generally seem the same sorts of results as they do in their benchmarks. Sonnet has always been so much better for me for writing.

Good idea. I'd love a video.

This showed up on Hacker News a few daysd ago:

Same here, but I am looking at Par for this. Terminal session manager. Basically a tmux wrapper.

Not my project, but I definitely felt a bit of "Yo dawg I heard you like..." and saw Xzibit talking about this n8n MCP. It lets tools like Claude Desktop create and edit workflows in your n8n instance.

Looking at Cline, wondering what the real selling points for Roo Code are. Any chance you can say what exactly made you go with Roo Code instead of Cline?

"trymirai", every time I hear the word Mirai I think of the large IOT DDoS botnet. Maybe it's just me though.

My favorite line from the whole post "I’d also like to thank whoever unpatched the bug in iOS 13.0. That was a very cool move too."

Have you tested any local models through ollama? Did any work good enough to recommend?

Every new install gets zsh, kitty, exa, fzf, bat, ripgrep, fd, neovim, ducker, qman, cht.sh, navi, and hyperfine as the first things I do.

Stating that one of the problems with Nextcloud is PHP does not inspire confidence.

It's blocking Qutebrowser also.

If the ads on Twitter were even close to relevant I wouldn't mind just scrolling past them. But every ad I see lately is just right-wing idiocy like PragerU.

For activists working on causes where powerful people would like to unmask them. You can use mixers to end up with crypto for VPNs and other privacy services that aren't connected to your identity. Obviously you have to take 20 other steps as well. But this is in my opinion a very legitimate use case for this technology.

Right, but Kagi has built in tools to make it easy to fix that. Blocking those spammy sites from ever showing up again. Moving certain sites up the ranking, and so on. These features mean that over time my Kagi results have become nearly perfect for myself.

First thing I thought when reading the title was "some AI for Symphony PHP, interesting". I know its hard to name things at this point, these clashes are just going to happen with so many projects over the last 50 years. But at some point I think clashing with a project in such heavy use is just a detriment to the brand.

As strongly as anyone can disagree with something, I disagree with the "undeserved" part of this.

I don't do any drugs, never have. I've also never had alcohol. So I know you can enjoy Pink Floyd without being under the influence of anything.

I just love the music, the lyrics, the points being made. And I am a big fan of whole albums. I dont like singles much. I want songs that blend into each other, an hour long experience. That is why I like Pink Floyd so much.

Vermillion is the best app in this space I think. I get to paint with oil paints, and have nothing to clean up and no major expenses like buying more paint.

And with a browser in place, I can watch painting tutorials while actually painting, and not worry that I dont own a specific brush or other tool.

It's awesome. It's on Steam for anything that supports SteamVR or PCVR, and on the Quest store for Meta devices.
