What are people using for self hosting these? I tried ollama with open-webui and it didn't support image generation at all.

There are people walking around today who voted Bush twice and regretted it and now voted Trump three times and regretted it. I wonder what war they'll regret next?

Let's compare and contrast this to how credit card companies treat sexual content vendors. Remember when a raft of games got delisted on Steam because of pressure from cc companies?

Honestly the TUI in most of these coding agents is so fancy I have trouble thinking of them as "terminal". I use Pi Coding Agent and the fact that it's terminal means it's easy to run inside something properly sandboxed

My point is that in the late '90s that was the prevailing assumption about the growth of the internet. We have learned that this assumption was wrong. > the definition of truths and lies can change with time and location This is mor

The "information wants to be free" discourse of just under 30 years ago feels so charmingly naive now that we've seen how lies are also information and can travel even better using the same flow.

So if a book is banned by a widespread movement of extremists taking control of local governing bodies and the federal government is not involved, that's okay then?

AI could theoretically also be used to optimize existing code instead of producing new features, allowing existing tech to run on lighter hardware. Rent me an rpi if the software is fast.

Yup. Not sure which particular stopped-clock struck right within the generally anti-science MAHA movement but I think everybody is happy to take the win.

I'm not. The political alignment of this site is very evident.

To play devil's advocate for a moment (although I hate it): LoC often actually means NIH... but NIH suddenly has a pretty big proponent in the form of resistance to supply-chain attacks. Basically the choices are: 1. Roll your own 2. L

qwen3.5 9b runs okay on my 12GB gaming GPU. It's very stupid as a coding agent but it's possible to get useful work out of it.

Cosmic rays can probably be resolved with some parity bits and redundancy. Especially since these don't have to be located way up in geosynch, lower orbits get you more magnetosphere protection. Not that it isn't a problem, but

Sounds like they slapped in a bunch of common plugins and released it as a product to promote the free-for-a-limited-time use of their new coding AI service.

by Pxtl 4mo ago
The latter. It looks like it's meant to be a batteries-included agent to promote their free-for-a-limited time AI service that it connects to by default.

I would've assumed lockfile-by-default. We're still going with auto-updating?

I look forward to hearing from the usual suspects how the inevitable failure is the fault of wind and solar power.

Things that are tedious but simple but I'm unfamiliar with. "Go add a gh action to compile and deploy this thing and run its tests" is one I've found it's good at. Yes I know how to make a gh pipeline but it's

And why would the hypothetical "OwnAI" product be any different?

We didn't get people buying family-level file servers for the family photo gallery and documents at any real scale, so i doubt we'll see similar for AI especially when the cost is that much higher for GPUs vs an SBC machine.

I'd like to think so but the existence of Google and Apple and Microsoft's cloud based photo tools with phone integration suggests that's false. You could run a pretty good home server on $50 of gear and yet we never saw any

I've got a Qwen 3.5 running on a 12GB 3060 and it's dumb as a stump but still smart enough to get some useful work done. Since it's my daily driver desktop I havent jumped to 3.6 since last time I did I quickly ran out of vr

I've been noticing that too. "Hey, the normal documentation for our software of a crude API list describing what each command is and each of its parameters isn't good enough for the AI. We need to provide the AI with instru

> I am surprised to find LBC Why? From afar my vague impression of LBC is that it's talk radio opinion slop, even if it puts in some effort to avoid the cartoonishly-far-right conservatism endemic to that genre.
