I’m in almost exactly the same boat.

2017 GTX 1070 and 32GB ram. I don’t run games 4K and still haven’t had any problems running reasonably pretty recent stuff.

Hasn’t all that been automated by people for decades anyway?

I guess this, lowers the barrier to entry for this extremely specific niche?

You can also set up a central git template repository, so hooks get automatically added into every repository you clone

What other VCS behaves this way by standard? If it's not in e.g. .gitignore "git status" will show that it's aware of it, but won't automatically absorb them into the commit? https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/issues/5596 doesn't seem to be the oldest instance of this problem, but does seem to be the current discussion, and there seems to be no consensus on how to fix.

Oh, and ISTR submodules were a pain to work with.

Edit: https://github.com/jj-vcs/jj/issues/323#issuecomment-1129016... seems likely to be the earliest mention of this problem

The problems with jj that led me to abandon are:

- All of everything good about it breaks down the instant you want to share work with the outside world. It's git on the backend! Except there isn't any concept of a remote jj so you have to go through the painful steps of manually naming commits, pushing, pulling, then manually advancing the current working point to match. And in doing so, you lose almost everything that gives it value in the first place - the elegant multi branch handling, anonymous commits, the evolog. Even if you want to work on the same project on two machines your only choice for this is without breaking everything via git is to rsync the folder. Yes, you can write alias to do all this like git. I might as well use git if I can't use the nice features.

- All files automatically committed is great until you accidentally put a secret in an unignored file in the repository folder. And then there is no way to ensure that it's purged (unlike in git) - the community response as far as I can tell is "Don't do this, never put a file that isn't in gitignore".

- And adding to .gitignore fails if you ever want to wind back in history - if you go back before a file was added to .gitignore, then whoops now it isn't ignored, is all part of your immutable history, and disappears if you ever switch off of that new commit state.

Or, ask it to make a plan, and it makes a good plan! It explicitly notes how validation is to take place on each stage!

And then does every stage without running any of the validation. It's your agent's plan, it should probably be generated in a way that your own agent can follow it.

about once a week I get a claude "auto update" that fails to start with some bun error on our linux machines. It's beyond laughable.

Exactly, someone might be at risk of reading the thread with a 1930s RPG

See content of post you initially replied in the context of:

> Shortwave radio is more challenging than you might imagine.

Presumably doing it locally within a known few mile radius is different from nation-scale broadcast areas bounced from god-knows-where?

Also, these “peak hours” are different from the “2x outside peak hours” hours.

Super shady and opaque. And this is just the start of the enshittification slope…

It’s good-faith arbitrage. Until everyone automatically suspects everything to be LLM generated and there is zero trust, anyone doing this is eroding the good faith that lets them get away with it in the first place.

It seems to be missing a whole load of the quantized Qwen models, Qwen3.5:122b works fine in the 96GB GH200 (a machine that is also missing here....)

uv tool install

Installs into an automatic venv and then softlinks that executable (entry-points.console_scripts) into ~/.local/bin. Succeeds pipx or (IIRC) pipsi.

And spotting stuff in review! Sometimes it’s false positives but on several occasions I’ve spent ~15-30 minutes teaching-reviewing a PR in person, checked afterwards and it matched every one of the points.

Or Disney telling you they are exempt from killing someone in their theme park restaurants because you signed up to Disney+… https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c8jl0ekjr0go

Did you even read the title of the article? This is exactly what they are claiming is fair use.

Who cares when you get a bonus per person either way?

> and it's has spent a fair bit of time going through an infinite seeming loop before finally unjamming itself

I can live with this on my own hardware. Where Opus4.6 has developed this tendency to where it will happily chew through the entire 5-hour allowance on the first instruction going in endless circles. I’ve stopped using it for anything except the extreme planning now.

I've been playing with 3.5:122b on a GH200 the past few days for rust/react/ts, and while it's clearly sub-Sonnet, with tight descriptions it can get small-medium tasks done OK - as well as Sonnet if the scope is small.

The main quirk I've found is that it has a tendency to decide halfway through following my detailed instructions that it would be "simpler" to just... not do what I asked, and I find it has stripped all the preliminary support infrastructure for the new feature out of the code.

Here’s what Gemini says about copy-pasting AI answers:

> Avoid "lazy" posting—copying a prompt result and pasting it without any context. If the user wanted a raw AI answer, they likely would have gone to the AI themselves.

IIRC that was the one with the absurd "Photo Enhance" scene for which I think the episode more than justifies itself?

How is this different from… any of their competitors?

Right. I had a 100% manual hobby project that did a load of parametric CAD in Python. The problem with sharing this was either actively running a server, trying to port the stack to emscripten including OCCT, or rewriting in JS, something I am only vaguely experienced in.

In ~5 hours of prompting, coding, testing, tweaking, the STL outputs are 1:1 (having the original is essential for this) and it runs entirely locally once the browser has loaded.

I don’t pretend that I’m a frontend developer now but it’s the sort of thing that would have taken me at least days, probably longer if I took the time to learn how each piece worked/fitted together.

No, it's ableist to ignore the fact that many people _do_ have such issues, and many people don't but start having problems as they age.

I'm pretty sure they'd be happy to swallow the loss when building a one-off device to specifically target you.

Also, the first line in "Why Valetudo?"

> First of all, please do not try to convince people to use Valetudo.

A good realist position for such a project to take.

Lol why is it always such a predictable list of gripes

Do you choose your software exclusively based on virtue signalling about which editor they used to write it in?
