That's a good question and make me think. I always thought the trackpoint nubs were binary too, basically just a stick in the middle of up/down/left/right mousekey buttons, bit it turns out they're not! For original

I like work in this area, and this is really helpful, thanks. I actively avoid cloud based LLMs and mainly use 4b - 30a3b param local models. This means I don't really have a good grasp of SOTA LLM performance or accuracy, but I know w

Personally, I don't see this as people punching someone who's down. This is the sort of real life experience and necessary context from actual technical users that I come to HN comments for. Someone is just asking to get Google&#x

You seem to be arguing that vibecoding photoshop wasn't possible up until 2 months ago, with GPT 5.4/5.5. That's a very, very weird take on many, many levels. Could you elaborate a bit about where that view came from, how oft

No embarrassment, I thought the same. Feels like a far more sensible thought than fecal transplant via the mouth, for many reasons. Vindicating edit!

I went the opposite way: I started with UHK, then went for a ZSA moonlander, but settled on a kbdcraft Israfel, which is a relatively cheap, split ortholinear. I felt most of the extra functionality and polish that I guess makes up the mas

I had a UHK for a few months before refunding it because the shielding wasn't good enough to stop it becoming unreliable when my mobile phone was within about 30cm of my keyboard. I contacted support and the solution was to move the ph

I think context length is important to consider here. I find Gemmas really good for a short conversation with maybe 3 or 4 exchanges of a few paragraphs each, which covers a surprisingly large amount of interactions. For anything longer for

You're not saying what your position clearly - instead you're "just asking questions", and it's rubbing some people up the wrong way (including me, sorry). It looks like you're not apologising for that because

I think this comment and replies capture the problem with Kubernetes. Nobody gets fired for choosing Kubernetes now. It's obvious to you, me and the other 2 presumably techie people who've responded within 15 mins that you shouldn

It's all openwashing, all of the ones you listed at somepoint have expressed how important and valuable open weights and locally usable models are. Every single one of them has then increasingly focused and pushed closed, proprietary o

The issue is business and transparency. Transparency is often in the customer's interest at the individual business's expense. There are very, very few things that can be completely transparent without giving competitors an advant

Juggling is something I've done on and off all my life and every time I ever see any writing about it, it doesn't at all capture how juggling fits with me. Every time I read about it, I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I

Sorry, I somehow didn't see the comment above yours, but it makes a lot more sense now. The sentiment still applies the parent comment of yours though.

I feel that's a little bit misleading. That link doesn't have much affiliation with Qwen or anyone who produces/trained the Qwen models. That doesn't mean it's not good or safe, but it seems quite subjective to sugg

The defining difference about paying money to a corporation in exchange for a product is you're paying for something already there, an agreed exchange of value. The whole point about a donation is it's given not in exchange for do

I definitely relate to that feeling. I miss the days of forum signatures which felt like the perfect solution. And funny you should say that side note, I also agree. A relevant observation/recollection a few days ago: > there was a

Yeah, I agree with your approach entirely - it feels like the mature option compared to the young influencer view that you want everyone to read your opinion. Seeing it as a public ledger, rather than a platform or podium means you might no

I can fully see pi doing the same. It talks about a whole bunch of stuff it proudly doesn't do. New techniques will come around still, and if pi adopts them, it becomes bloated/unusable/unusable like opencode, and if it doesn

I agree. I think modern overlay networks can navigate CG-NAT fine now. Other options include free cloudflare, or just a wireguard tunnel to a free tier VPS. On a similar point, I don't think enough people talk about how most western ho

I'm all for personal website and these sentiments which regularly come up here around self hosting. This one seems a bit disproportionately confused and angry though. If we're going to have any large aggregation or social media bu

This feels like a ridiculous thread that captures everything wrong with modern Javascript ecosystem. It's grown into a product of cults and attempted zingers rather than pragmatic or sensible technical discussions about what we should
