krzyk··on Dwarf Fortress is getting the mother of all magic updates
> minecraft is fun and engaging

It depends, for me it is boring and has pretty dim graphics. I wanted to love it, but it is not fun. It looks like a Sims game, it lacks what e.g. factorio has, that "spark".

DF sounds like it might have that "spark", but I'm afraid to touch it.

krzyk··on Migrating to HTTPX2
A bit strange considering "coding is solved".

But seriously, migrating between different libs should be ~free for both Anthropic and OpenAI.

krzyk··on Stop Making TUIs
TUI and GUI are a UI.
krzyk··on Stop Making TUIs
Is there a GUI Emacs? I used only TUI one.
krzyk··on Stop Making TUIs
Benefit of TUIs is that sometimes they are extension of CLI.

Sometimes I can use `du` to check what uses so much space, but sometimes ncdu is better for me.

And the best part - I can use both when I ssh to another machine, using the same command line, without thought. While GUIs need added thought, to switch from CLI to GUI on the remote one would need to use a different interface, or have X11 forwarding on (which is also a good option) and x11 libs on the other side.

Or use some other connectivity. ssh is simple, works on most servers I have access to.

krzyk··on Stop Making TUIs
Yes, but GUIs are by default mouse driven, very rarely one can see a keyboard driven one (I haven't seen any).

And TUIs are only keyboard driven. So the choice for speed if you don't need graphics is always - TUI (or CLI).

krzyk··on The Lost Treasure of Sid Meier's Pirates
What kind of pure sims you have in mind? I'm also looking for some games in that category.
krzyk··on fx :Tiny, open, native coding agent.
> Naturally meaningless when people carry around USB sticks

Do people do that? I think it was a decade ago, I thought people download from web nowadays.

krzyk··on Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
It depends. For some sandbox might be feature on that platform, but for others it might be a bug.
krzyk··on Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
I wasn't clear here, when I mean haptic feedback I meant smartphones.
krzyk··on Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
> We saw how developers used that "freedom" - now all almost all software runs in a remote server and is delivered through a sandbox (and even then developers try as hard as possible to poison that as well).

What are you talking about exactly?

On linux I can run any software I want, and how is that bad?

krzyk··on Apple announces changes for apps in the European Union
How is that touchpad better than any other? My wife has Macbook Air, I don't see any difference between touchpad on my linux Dell 5680 compared to the Macbook.

It sounds similar to people that praise "haptic feedback" on phones, and describe feedback on some devices as extraordinary. (vibration device, seriously?)

Macbook has nice hardware, if I can ignore the strange keyboard layout, although I would prefer bigger keyboard and smaller touchpad. Macbook software is something that is so bad compared to linux that I won't even comment.

krzyk··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
So the title is misleading, intentionally.
krzyk··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
Is this pricing change only for openrouter? I don't see official OpenAI info about this.
krzyk··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
Well maybe, but a non-macos laptop is a bit more common.
krzyk··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
On a consumer hardware it would be nicer. With no GPU/iGPU or a 6-8GB VRAM.
krzyk··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
Yeah, that one is easy, but I was thinking of the other way around, where the weak model calls stronger one.
krzyk··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
By "advisor model pattern" you mean https://claude.com/blog/the-advisor-strategy ?

How do you implement that outside of claude code?

krzyk··on Codex in ChatGPT desktop app for Linux is now in preview
What do you mean by "bundled bubblewrap nor the Ubuntu 24.04 bubblewrap works properly under Docker with the default options"?

Does it break anything? I didn't notice, I always run codex in "yolo" mode (the whole purpose of running it in docker).

krzyk··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
Interesting I always thought that "x" (whichever) is used informally for multiplication and proper sign is dot: 3 · 4 = 12

It looks like there is a difference between English speaking languages and the rest in that regard.

krzyk··on Accelerating GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast
Isn't ultrafast just making hundreds of subagents?
krzyk··on ChatGPT Desktop (Codex Desktop) for Linux
Don't install bubblewrap? I didn't and use codex in docker.
krzyk··on Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index
Yes, they have transparent api rates. And for Anthropic and OpenAI their rates are exactly like API pricing.
krzyk··on I hate packaging my software for Linux
Yes, this software has a vast amount of installation methods.

And I find building app myself usually the easiest one.

krzyk··on I hate packaging my software for Linux
So is this app written in Rust or in JS/TS? Why is he writting about npm at all if it is Rust?

I've seen few times that people abuse npm to do install of software that is not js, but why force me to install npm?

krzyk··on Dropbox is an obvious PE Target?
I'm surprised Dropbox is still around, was it 15 years ago when I used? It was something new, but after they started pushing limitations I stopped using it.
krzyk··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
How is that BS?

I would prefer to know if given content was generated with LLM. This is information, and information should be free.

krzyk··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
Information is prosocial.
krzyk··on Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code
I'm also in yolo mode, this is the only mode that makes sense for me, if I need to babysit I might as well do it myself.

I run it in a VM so it can install any software needed, yes, there is a risk of escaping, but I'm not giving it impossible tasks so there is no need for it to workaround the jail.

krzyk··on My server is a phone now
I'm non-native English speaker and for me the title was suggesting what was decribed - phone as a server.
