What's stopping a vim plugin from doing similar data exfiltration? Tons of people blindly install LazyVim, Spacevim, or other vim tooling and choose a bunch of similar things.

They either updated it or you quoted it wrong but the article says Devstral is open-weights now.

With "only" 32B active params, you don't necessarily need to. We're straying from common home users to serious enthusiasts and professionals but this seems like it would run ok on a workstation with a half terabyte of RA

You forgot "shit spewer". One who creates the shit that someone else has to then deal with (usually organizational peers or the team beneath them).

They are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on data centers filled with GPUs that cost more than an average car and then months on training models to serve your current $20/mo plan. Do you legitimately think there's a cheape

For that one item, no not really. But an AirTag has a battery life of about a year and there's really no reason to frequently remove it. AirPods have a substantially shorter battery life and are not guaranteed to be in that bag all the

It does, it's just a bit annoying. I have this set up as a shell script (or you could make it an alias): codex --config model="gpt-oss-120b" --config model_provider=custom with ~/.codex/config.toml containi

Most (all?) Spotlight replacements depend on the same underlying index and system services that Spotlight provides and uses. High chance Quicksilver is just making 'mdfind' calls like everything else, especially since it doesn&#x2

Losing tens of billions of dollars on a company now ruined down to single digit billions of revenue is a weird thing to describe as "just fine". That looks like abject failure as a business.

Encapsulation, e.g. utility classes (and Tailwind, by extension) solve for project management or organization level problems, not styling problems directly. The nice defaults are a bonus but the actual value is a common and agreed upon appr

C'mon now. "<insert literally anything you feel like> affect stress level which has an impact in health [so do what I want]" What _can't_ you use that argument for?

Tahoe's new Spotlight refresh includes an application specific option (open spotlight then arrow/cursor to the right or press cmd+1), and it will only match on applications, which is indeed very fast compared to a full blown Spotl

Coming back to this with a late reply of more experiences, but it doesn't seem that unique for management from my perspective. When I was an IC I dealt with a ton of software engineer peers who were pretty bad at their job and managed

As a manager, yeah I’ve seen several of my peers wash out of the role for one reason or another. It happens. Usually it’s self selected though, disliking the inherent drama, having difficult to work with employees, moving up from engineerin

I don’t actually mind their money from Google but why is charging money for a quality product an unfathomable business model? Ads or bust it seems.
138.
by evilduck 9mo ago
My primary complaint is that they have a bunch of ad placements on the product out of the box when it's opened for the first time and any time I set up a new system I have to go configure Firefox to not be annoying by default. It makes

Macs would be the most power efficient with faster memory but an AI Max 395+ based system would probably be the most cost efficient right now. A Framework Desktop with 128GB of shared RAM only pulls 400W (and could be underclocked) and is c

Flatpak gives you a lot of permission controls for GUI apps and you can similarly sandbox a lot of CLI tools with toolbx or distrobox.

Yes when possible and feasible to know. And it's super easy to avoid everything Musk touches. Nothing he helms is without easy alternatives.

There's no reason your fingers should be under the blade while it's in motion. That's just poor technique.

Only to those already steeped in Python. To an outsider they're all equally arbitrary non-descriptive words and there's not even obvious proper noun capitalization to tell apart a component from a tool brand.
