“We’ll miss creating something we feel proud of” I still feel proud when skillfully guiding a set of AI agents to build from my imagination. Especially when it was out of my reach just 6-months ago. I’m a 49 year old veteran who started at

You mean Qwen3-Coder-Next? I haven't tried that model itself, yet, because I assume it's too big for me. I have a modest 16GB MacBook Air so I'm restricted to really small stuff. I'm thinking about buying a machine with

That might work, but I keep seeing people talk about this, so there must be a simple solution that I'm over-looking. My solution is to write my own minimal and experimental CLI that talks JSON tools.

I can't get Codex CLI or Claude Code to use small local models and to use tools. This is because those tools use XML and the small local models have JSON tool use baked into them. No amount of prompting can fix it. In a day or two I&#x

I feel like "prompting language" doesn't translate over perfectly either. It's like we become experts at operating a particular AI agent. I've been experimenting with small local models and the types of prompts you

It's crazy that we're having such different experiences. I purchased the Google AI plan as an alternative to my ChatGPT (Codex) daily driver. I use Gemini a fair amount at work, so I thought it would be a good choice to use person

I've used Gemini CLI a fair amount as well—it's included with our subscription at work. I like it okay, but it tends to produce "lies" a bit too often. It tends to produce language that reads as over confident that it&#x

Something to check is if you’re opted into the test for the 1M context window. A co-worker told me this happened to them. They were burning a lot more tokens in the beta. Seems like creating a new account could track with this (but is obvio

Since you were forced, are you getting good results from them? I’ve experimented, and I like them when I’m on an airplane or away from wifi, but they don’t work anywhere near as well as Claude code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI. Then again, I h

I have ALWAYS had this problem. It's like my brain thinks places I frequent are unimportant details and ejects them to make room for other things. I have to visit a place several times and with regularity to remember it. Otherwise, out

I might be able to use this, especially in LLMs where I ask them to give me things in code fences all the time. If I ask for markdown in a code fence, it all falls apart. If, however, I asked for markdown in a ~~~ code fence, or even ~~~~~,

I wonder how well that works as a prompt.

Does the SQLite version of this already exist somewhere? The github link on the footer of the page fails for me.

As for bag space... I always take my suitcase and my backpack to the airplane and then I check my suitcase at the gate. Three reasons. First, there are no baggage fees at the gate. Second, I can roll backpack on my suitcase. Third, I get to

All those are certainly possible. I’ll see if I can get them added shortly. Edit: I've added those features. I actually changed it so that the preview you see is that actual image that gets exported. I like this better but it means tha

Nice! I love this. I built Ponder in the same vein. It, however, has 10 files. I did not use the URL, did not have double the fun, and now I’m sad. https://github.com/codazoda/ponder

Technically, yes, but Amazon customers probably wouldn't benefit from that. I don't currently distribute or sell books directly because that creates a tax burden. So it's probably best to let the various stores handle it. I s

I'm a self-published author. This is the default setting for new books uploaded without DRM. It's gated behind an "I understand" checkbox. I plan to allow my books to be downloaded as PDF and ePUB. It makes sense not to

I haven’t looked yet but I might be a candidate for something like this, maybe. I’m RAM constrained and, to a lesser extent, CPU constrained. It would be nice to offload some of that. That said, I don’t think I would buy a cluster of Macs f
