"Just recreate GitHub internally."

If we all go to the gym every time GitHub is down, we're all gonna get ripped. GitHub was down all day just last week. They get paid millions of dollars by my company. They need to get it together.

I meant it in a broader sense. Even for paid products, corporations view themselves as doing customers a favor. That's the sort of antagonistic relationship they define.

I believe such statements have the implied "to all known knowledge". Also, ow would you prove it definitively?

It's gotten out of hand. Companies making money think they do everyone a favor.

A tool is a tool. Our companies are shelling out millions of dollars to these companies. How many of us sometimes spend our days just hopping between the tools that are actually working at the moment?

That clarifies it.

I fully agree. All these blog posts are basically features they should be implementing. They advertise they are replacing software development, but then these tools require a massive amount of overhead akin to having to train new hires. B

I don't think they even have a Chicago office, so it's good you didn't relocate there. They're based in New York. https://www.janestreet.com/culture/our-offices/

> I feel like that's a rather niche situation you got there Every big company in the world uses a network proxy. LM Studio, as far as I can tell, cannot be configured to work behind such proxies.

This is exactly it. I already have broad access to Claude, Gemini, GitHub Copilot. I want to use open models on automated tasks that chew up tokens but where I don't necessarily need the best-in class models and UX. For Claude, I setti

Lol at that command. Why is this stuff so hard to run locally? I've spent a few days trying to figure it all out and haven't been able to. LM Studio doesn't work behind proxies. Ollama is confusing and doesn't seem to su

Yes, definitely. It bounces around, goes off and does its own thing, etc. From Opus 4.8, it seems to have blindly increased its confidence while reducing its focus and efficiency. I found it so hard to corral that I reverted back to Opus 4.

It's amazing how incompetent the U.S. has become. Sure, let's telegraph to the entire world that the U.S. is entirely incapable of sustaining warfare, all as part of a meaningless war.

I think that underestimates how little the Chinese care about what Americans are doing. They're moving so fast that watching what the U.S. is doing would slow them down.

Thanks! Unfortunately, LM Studio does not support network proxies, and Ollama does not support Qwen3. So it seems like Llama.cpp is the only solution.

Isn't that a good thing? You would prefer they didn't?

Oil can't be the whole story, can it? If it was, we'd be more heavily investing in moving away from oil. From what I can tell, it's as much extremism of "democracy", religion, and a version of "manifest destiny
