overall not so much, but basically if inside tmux you have 100 terminals opened and only 10 of those has 'agents' it will allow you switch quickly between those 10 terminals without spending too much time on locating those. also it will show statuses about agents, is it work done already and you may need to check it and stuff like this.

I think it exactly what I'm trying to say. Current state is that GPUs that Nvidia produced are not really in use, they mostly stored in warehouses as is not enough power for them so while they has 'potential future value' it's not proven to be created as lot could happen, unlikely natural disaster or they just could loose in value as demand drops or competitor will came with cheaper option.

that definitely $80 of value for Nvidia added but does it really added something to whole system? if some physical goods moved from one company to another with generation of VAT, does it really add up to economy as whole or just one seller made bad decision and loosed some $, other gained few $ but overall balance of value just still same.

ollama cloud, syntetic - they both has much more care about quality of model hosting

lot of ads everywhere offering to buy your codebase of real product/star up even it long gone or failed (offer usually price per lines of code). So most likely that they have bunch of abandoned codebases between small and medium sizes and probably also some fake codebases as well.

yes, and it's already some offerings like that but they all cost a lot because they only good for "I have some idea of workload for N hours or days" lets rent it and run. That fine for some experimentation but if you think about renting something 24/7 even for example to share it with the friends that will cost at least 4x from any API prices as result (something like rtx 6000 48gb will cost ~$470/m).

it worked for me okay when I needed it for myself in my personal account. But when I tried setup this for a company I spent almost a day solving lot of small puzzles in GCE like how to tell CEO that he have to connect billing account created for other purposes (and he not even remember at time that it exist) to new project and all other things that others talking about.

I'm always very frustrated about this pencils manufacturer as they avoiding using standard softness marking like everybody else (..H,HB,B,2B..etc).

even if they are is no guarantee that for 'your' specific tasks is beneficial in any means

openai works well with subscription, as many non major providers subscriptions

it doesn't imply that lot legacy apps won't crash in prod when it will be actually released. Cool that some complex app is working but is nothing proving that everything will be fine when everyone will try to upgrade.

I don't think that Devs making those chooses but business and industry forcing devs to explore other options. One of the main issues with Scala currently that is no good selling story anymore for a business peoples. Even Rust story with 'memory safety' very fragile because not a lot of businesses see it as huge issue which worth additional effort (probably only MS backing helps there).

In the past it was lot of selling points that business could see:

- 'better java' - more velocity over java without loosing anything

- 'type safety / FP' - less errors that cost money in production (backed by 'Typesafe/Lightbend' company)

- 'akka' - platform for distributed/concurrency applications (in pre kubernetes era was big demand for it)

- 'spark' - initially Scala was only way to use it fully

- 'twitter' - startup success story

- and few more

But now nothing from this list has any real meaning for peoples making decisions currently.

Kotlin actually suffer from this too as 'better java' not that big deal when java constantly improving.

at least while ago they used Stackless Python

I heard that recruiters also use amount of connections to filter out candidates, and they probably view it as if you don't have 500-1000 connection probably you just don't fit basic requirements of the the role even with 10+ yoe.

Even is so stupid but looks like in last few years lot of strange metrics like that used more and more.

good that they improving but I have one 2019 macbook died because of that issue, probably my M1 also could die because of that.

>I thought that was already fixed?

only partially and both Sway and Hyperland still doesn't has official support yet.

this blog post explaining some issues https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2026-01-04-wayland-sway-...

I recently had opposite experience - I been using NixOS with X11+i3 for about 2 years and never had any significant issues beside some troubles with one Nvidia driver version, even most Steam games worked for me without any issues. But out of curiosity decided to give try Wayland+Sway. First Sway remind me that Nvidia GPU completely unsupported and probably wont work at all, but in really fix for that just to use some 'unsupported' flag to launch it. After that I found that displays fractional scaling only can multiply original resolution to bigger size so is no way I will able to set up my 3 different displays in way I would like. Then I found that Zoom app can't share display even if everything for that is provided and it thinks that sharing actually happen (it can share if used thought web-browser and it also some workaround with virtual camera thought kernel module and OBS). After that I found that Barrier app (that I been used to share cursor/keyboard between desktop&laptop) while has support for wayland it can't work with Sway yet and is no any real alternative.

For now I can deal with that stuff but it looks like more I use wayland more issues I see so not sure that I will able stick with it long term.

oh now I also has flickers with discord app

in case of macbooks even if something like usb port controller failed is most likely leads to board replacement as well so is high change that even if RAM is fine it could be useless because some $2 component failure

> friends watched or a game they played is a perk that has real value

in most cases it don't unless this game become really legendary which often not the case. So young person easily can spent 10y in attempt to do that but as result non of those games will be remembered in 2y after release.

right and it's also additional hidden kind of exploitation happen with that. That artistic passion coming from desire to do better "art" and grow as "artist" (what ever creative field person is chasing) and also to connect with peoples of similar goals.

But in reality that environment helping only to grow in technical aspects of the job ( maybe also learning some market forces) but it leads to severe degradation in artistic practice of which person original desire cultivate even not realizing that just because is no business need for anything like that. Bus sines can be fine by just coping that everyone else doing or implementing some one else vision.

Winamp been really unique, probably because they able to combine that unique design with very practical UX. Even when better players released a lot of users got hard times to switch because of UI, visualizations, skins...

OSS projects usually has culture which adopting quality aimed development practices much faster that commercial projects (because of cost of adoption) so it looks like same concerns eventually will hit other kind of projects.

unlikely, FOSS is mostly driven by zero-cost maintenance but AI tools needs money to burn. So only few FOSS project will receive sponsored tools and some definitely reject to use by ideological reasons (for example it could be considered as poison pill from copyright perspective).

>With AWS the knowledge is at least transferable

unfortunately it lot of things in AWS that also could be messed up so it might be really hard to research what is going on. For example, you could have hundreds of Lambdas running without any idea where original sources and how they connected to each-other, or complex VPCs network routing where some rules and security groups shared randomly between services so if you do small change it could lead to completely difference service to degrade (like you were hired to help with service X but after you changes some service Y went down and you even not aware that it existed)

probably more beneficial for business not for a users.

and still in 2026 is wide market of those pens with price ranges ~$2000-$3 and ink chooses where some bottles costs ~$50 for 30-60ml.

maybe some combination of visual representation with text. For example it's not easy to come up intuitive with names of operations which could be applied to some surface. But if you could say something like 'select top side of cylinder' and it will show you some possible names of operations (with illustrations/animations) which could be applied to it then it's easy to say back what it need to do without actually knowing what actually possible. So as result it maybe just much quicker way to interact with CAD that we are using currently.

>You need to follow up with a set of strict requirements to set expectations, guard rails, and what the final product should do (and not do).

that usually very hard to do part, and is was possible to spent few days on something like that in real word before LLMs. But with LLMs is worse because is not enough to have those requirements, some of those won't work for random reasons and is no any 'rules' that can grantee results. It always like 'try that' and 'probably this will work'.

Just recently I was struggled with same prompt produced different result between API calls before I realized that just usage of few more '\"' and few spaces in prompt leaded model to completely different route of logic which produced opposite answers.

it looks like some kind marketing push or 'growth hack', just to get some viral thing around which justify why do you extra reason to pay for Claude or Tailscale subscription.

I personally not even convinced that Claude Code any better on average than something like Aider+Gemini 3 or other good model. May be in some specific cases it actually better but in those Aider+'Antropic Model via API' most likely will work too.
