Screen sharing to any remote API is a nonstarter for me. I don’t care if the API claims ZDR; Snowden’s revelations are still echoing. So, I appreciate that the app supports a custom endpoint for local models.

Which local models did you try? GLM-OCR seems like it would excel at this: https://huggingface.co/zai-org/GLM-OCR

Small nudges to steer company culture regarding AI use:

- signal disclosure as a norm: whenever you use AI, say “BTW I used AI to write this”, when you don’t use AI, say “No AI used in this document”

- add an email footer to your messages that states you do not use AI because [shameful reasons]

- normalize anti-AI language (slop, clanker, hallucination, boiling oceans)

- celebrate human craftsmanship (highlight/compliment well written documentation, reports, memos)

- share AI-fail memes

- gift anti-AI/pro-human stickers

- share news/analysis articles about the AI productivity myth [0], AI-user burnout [1], reverse centaur [2], AI capitalism [3]

OpenClaw is actually built on top of pi-mono (for its agent runtime, models, and tools):

Did you scroll through the pricing options? The largest Kimi plan is $199/month. “Much better” depends on how much usage is included vs. Anthropic plans/API costs.

From what I can see, this is agentic tooling that provides similar features to OpenClaw. It’s been on GitHub since June 2024 but never seemed to catch the hype train. Some stats comparing the popularity of the two:

  Agent Zero: 14k GH stars, 3k X followers
  OpenClaw: 197k GH stars, 314k X followers

Much ado about nothing, this link has been going around the Fediverse: https://www.resistandunsubscribe.com/

Login.gov is still in use by the states, though. I recently registered for CA’s DROP, and it used Login.gov.

When this happens to me, it's either because I'm connected to a VPN, or I'm using Cloudflare's public DNS server.

Exponential growth may look like a very slow increase at first, but it's still exponential growth.

I’m so disappointed by this. It’s immediately noticeable that the results for the types of queries I make are worse. Queries using 5.2 Thinking now return very quickly, but with noticeably worse results.

Here's a OPML of these: https://s.strco.de/f/feed-20260127.opml

    brew install codex

Pocket TTS is much smaller: 100M parameters versus 600–1800M.

I was curious:

• Anna’s Archive: ~61.7 million “books” (plus ~95.7M papers) as of January 2026 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna%27s_Archive • Amazon Kindle: “over 6 million titles” as of March 2018 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna%27s_Archive

Hard to compare because AA contains duplicates, and the Kindle number is old, but at a glance it seems AA wins.

I get the same error today (13 days later). However, it seems to work if I just navigate directly to https://consumer.drop.privacy.ca.gov/ – I was able to submit my DROP request.

Smithsonian Mag used to be the Institution’s brain‑child, now it’s just a click‑bait lifestyle tabloid full of celebs. The magazine’s editorial directives have diverged from the institutions mission. They care more about pageviews and ads than research.

It appears that this is a tool useful for people who are building AI agents. Rather than for people who are using AI agents such as Claude Code. MCP is not mentioned in the README.

When including ISON alongside normal text, which language should you use for the code fence info string? Is `ison` a known code type, i.e.:

```ison object.config timeout 30 debug true api_key "sk-xxx-secret" max_retries 3 ```

?

What is the execution environment of ChatGPT apps? If it’s users’ browsers, do I now need to worry about code that is running without my permission? Is ChatGPT gonna be cryptojacking?

I use Spokenly with local Parakeet 0.6B v3 model + Cerebras gpt-oss-120b for post-processing (cleaning up transcription errors and fixing technical mondegreens, e.g., `no JS` → `Node.js`). Almost imperceptible transcription and processing delay. Trigger transcription with right ⌥ key.

Awww. If there weren’t only 237 of them, I would want to bring one of them home.

> Kākāpō can be up to 64 cm (25 in) long. They have a combination of unique traits among parrots: finely blotched yellow-green plumage, a distinct facial disc, owl-style forward-facing eyes with surrounding discs of specially-textured feathers, a large grey beak, short legs, large blue feet, relatively short wings and a short tail. It is the world's only flightless parrot, the world's heaviest parrot, and also is nocturnal, herbivorous, visibly sexually dimorphic in body size, has a low basal metabolic rate, and does not have male parental care. It is the only parrot to have a polygynous lek breeding system. It is also possibly one of the world's longest-living birds, with a reported lifespan of up to 100 years.

I'm the author of that Reddit post. I should probably update it to clarify that I didn’t just purchase the gift cards, but also redeemed them. I don’t think it was purchasing them that triggered the lock on my Apple account. I mean, after all, how would they know what my Apple account is until they’re redeemed?

Thanks for pointing this out. At first, I was concerned – “Unique to 1 in 2,147,483,648+ devices” – but, my fingerprint ID changes with each page refresh, so there's no tracking possible. I'm using Brave on iOS.

I'm curious what the impact on system resources is between a Tauri-based app versus the web app version opened in a browser window. If the features for both are the same, I imagine the resource utilization is also the same. The only exception might be that browsers such as Chrome will force inactive tabs to sleep.

Readwise Reader is one app I've compared both versions to, and I don't see much difference in resource usage for either version.

Yandex is one of Kagi's index sources. They used to publish a list of their sources but have changed it to a generic "we use multiple sources" because they got so much shit for using Brave (because of its founder’s bigotry) and Yandex (because of the ethical dilemma of paying a company headquartered in Russia which in the best case pays taxes and in the worst case has Kremlin/military involvement). This has been a contention debate for awoke, you can search their forum and discord for more details.

I see that you've added links to a pull request that show the previous and final optimized prompts. However, the OP was asking for the prompt you gave to Claude to assist you in optimizing your prompt. Would you mind sharing that one? (That way nobody has to reverse engineer the instructions from the diff you provided.)

I get this error trying to connect the Mapbox hosted MCP server:

    Something went wrong with setting up the connection

In the devtools, the request that failed was to `https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/aip/connectors/links/oauth/c...` which send this reply:

    Token exchange failed: 401, message='Unauthorized', url=URL('https://api.mapbox.com/oauth/access_token')

I've seen a lot of similar complaints. I think it would be helpful when Zed sees a new codebase to offer an onboarding questionnaire and apply the settings that can't be auto-detected from the codebase itself: coding styles, linting configuration, etc.

Anna's Archive created SciDB as an alternative to SciHub when SciHub blocked uploads due to a lawsuit. It's a better source to use anyways. Do you know if it's blocked in India?

The iOS app lists an in-app purchase named "Plus Plus Monthly" for $19.99. What is this? I see no mention of it on your websites.

FYI, when doing a search on the documentation site, I got this error: https://send.strangecode.com/f/Rz8LTdSS.png
