When you're just getting started and learning that won't matter though. Any Nvidia card from the last 10 years should be fine.

Not anywhere close. It's basically just maintaining a simple descriptive index the model can later use to decide what files it needs to read given the task you've given it.

I've just used Cline to produce files like that, and then later when starting a task in plan mode I tell it to read those files to get a sense of the project's structure. I also tell it to update them as necessary after whatever t

This reminds me of a research study Google conducted on itself some years ago asking the question: “What makes a team effective at Google?”. They found the most important to be psychological safety. https://rework.withgoogle.com&

Qwen3 is a family of models, the very smallest are only a few GB and will run comfortably on virtually any computer of the last 10 years or recent-ish smart phone. The largest - well, depends how fast you want it to run.

Seems someone thinks they're being super clever when really they're just childish and annoying. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When I'm flight planning and I see a restricted area along my route, I honestly don't need to know why. I'm not going there unless the controlling agency gives me authorization and I understand the danger. Because there is da

To me the parent reads more as explanation than defense, and that's valuable. Human systems are imperfect and messy. Understanding how they break down helps us make them better.

I'll second this. Kagi is really impressive and ad-free is a nice change.

I used the "reasonably" qualifier purposefully.

Alternatively, we could recognize the importance of electing officials who are serious and competent - a strategy that proved reasonably effective for over 200 years.
