This would be great if users could configure it to use a self-hosted LLM.

That was with Qwen 32B, which is still the best coder model for the size. You could run that just fine with a 36 GB RAM Mac.

This a fun idea, but honestly… who has the time for that? I’ve got features and bug fixes that need to be delivered quickly. Taking the slow road (especially if intentional) puts a target on my back for dismissal. If keeping my job requires

I hadn’t realized that. :(

This is depressing. Firefox is the only browser I'm willing to daily drive because it's the only one that's good and built by a nonprofit. I love Firefox, but loving Mozilla gets harder every day.

I only use local, open source LLMs because I don’t trust cloud-based LLM hosts with my data. I also don’t want to build a dependence on proprietary technology.

Awesome! Let me know if I can help or answer any questions. :)

This is the main reason I built https://chitchatter.im/ . I hope to see it be used as a tool to safely organize around building a better world.

I use https://jan.ai/ , which supports GPU acceleration via Vulkan.

I’m exactly the same. I have excellent savings. But even still, unemployment is a must-fix critical emergency for me. If nothing else, pulling money out of investments to fund expenses due to lack of income feels like robbing myself of futu

At first I was excited to see a new model, but then I saw no indication that the model is open source so I closed the page.

Awesome, thanks for checking it out! Let me know what you think. :)

I built exactly what you’re describing: https://chitchatter.im/ It’s decentralized, serverless, anonymous, private, ephemeral, and open source.

I have an AMD Framework 13 and I cannot recommend it enough. IMO there's no other laptop worth considering unless you specifically need a Mac. They fully support Ubuntu, have excellent configuration options, and are powerful enough to

This sort of thing will be interesting to me once it can be done with fully local and open source tech on attainable hardware (and no, a $5,000 MacBook Pro is not attainable). Building a dependence on yet another untrustworthy AI startup th

The name of this product is infuriating.

What’s the problem, exactly? Is there some stated HN rule that requires a developer to clearly state the inspiration for their work?

lazygit is as necessary in my life as Vim. Absolutely incredible tool!

How so?

Can you elaborate on that? My goal was to be as clear as possible and leave minimal room for misinterpretation.

I imagine that, due to the societal expectations historically placed on women, they’ve typically had to be “the adult in the room.” Contrast this with men historically being able to get away with acting childishly (or worse). So when termin

Is it not clear what “f” and “u” is short for?

That didn’t go well for crypto.

Maybe in revenue? Nobody running a bike shop is rich.

What do you expect? This seems like a hard problem to solve. Hard problems take time.

I like endless projects. Building something the way I want to build it is fun. Why would I ever want that to stop? I release updates to my various endless open source projects (such as https://www.farmhand.life/ and https:

That seems pretty soulless and uninteresting.

Yes. I avoid closed source software whenever it is practical to do so.

That’s a shame. I was excited at first, but my interest in this project is now gone.
