All-stack-no-heap Isn't this kind of the point of Java's Project Valhalla or am I just confused???

Exactly. Even 32b parameter models you can run locally on consumer hardware are "good enough" at this point for some workflows!

I recommend trying pi.dev as your agent harness for local models. In my experience it has been the sweet spot of functionality (which you can and should extend with plugins) vs performance (OpenCode just swamps local models on my hardware).

The "issues" described here seem to me to be basically just run-of-the-mill aquisitions considerations. Is anyone out there buying any kind of enterprize-grade hardware in any industry and not doing the due dilligence to consider

Building and maintaining a functional marketplace (e.g. through common-sense anti-trust enforcement) is about more than just optimizing for a specific outcome...

100% agree that decisive anti-trust action is needed. In addition, many of us can (and do) choose to just not participate (to the best of our abilities) in the nonsense from these companies. Many of us are not required to use Apple devices

Yeah, was thinking that as well. IMHO, compose.yaml is the best balance of convenience and simplicity if you need one (or even "several") instances. You should only get more fancy if you need to deploy `n` instances with auto pro

Honestly it kinda feels like they just reimplemented CouchDB/PouchDB.... Not that it would be a bad thing to do that, but really, for small scale stuff Couch works pretty okay. My first impressions of Earthstar do not lead me to believ
