As someone looking to exfiltrate my photos from Google, I'm about to trial Immich, and I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Sounds like it's a good next step for me.

I've also been building something like this, and browsing spekk-cli, it's interesting to see that we ended up with similar roles. Might be fun to compare and contrast a couple of these systems. :)

Neat! I've been trying out their next model for the last week, which I assume is a version of this, and it's been a good experience so far. I had used 2.5-pro for a hefty chunk of development, and found it to work like a somewhat

Interesting, I'm working on something that tries to constrain what data an agent can access, but I haven't looked at the case of using it to manage test data. I'll keep this in mind as I explore that case.

While I understand that accelerating development isn't necessarily the target for this, and it's not at all intended to generate code the way many of us are... I think this could be pretty decent in CI? There's a lot of &quot

I suspect this isn't true in any meaningful way, and relates to Trump's people deceiving him. Seems 100X more likely that Trump said "what kind of weapons does space force have?" and they had to come up with something, r

It definitely manifests as that to some degree, but since it extends to hair, clothing, what car they drive, I think it's a more general situation. (But I'm also not specifically aware of face blindness as a condition, and had ass

I've been working in Canada for US companies for decades, and pay-wise, it's gotten a lot better, though there's still a big difference. Never been tempted to move though.

I've got a moderate form of Aphantasia, where there are images in my head, but I'm unable to fix them in place and extract information from them. So I might think you have green eyes, but if you tell me they are brown, I wouldn&#x

Just the fact that Musk is in the conversation, and he's one of the most hated people on the planet, should give anyone pause as to whether we want these folk in charge of our future to any degree at all.

This is the closest to my feelings about this entire situation I've ever seen written, covering a lot of the different facets of how stupid and painful it is (though it's been a good week for that kind of post.) Since I have incre

Well, I got access, and I'm able to use the new models for free through the app. The x-pro model did some decent coding, but seems a bit slow right now. I also had the x-flash and x-pro models make pelicans, and the x-flash seemed clea

I applied to get access to new models, and got in already. Hard to say if the models are much better, but the app seems relatively slick. I was surprised to see quite a bit of my existing work already shown in the app, but I've been us

Seems cool, and makes sense, but does seem like it's mostly going to be annoying. It's available at a limited number of airports, and you have to apply 1-3 days in advance each time. Also could be annoying to travellers who have t

I really like the idea, and I would like to see Tailscale evolve Aperture in this direction. Tailscale is already an easy way for anyone to connect their devices, which is essential for any sort of "personal cloud", and Aperture,

My biggest token sink so far has been something very much like this, but I'm still not sure whether it's a good idea. But it has been a lot of fun.

This is bad advice in 2026 for most people who would read it, since it advises taking a terrible security posture (give the agent access to everything,) in exchange for a relatively small improvement in workflows. I say small improvement be

(In general, I think we don't do enough to emphasize best practices in the era of AI, but...) What Kent completely ignores here, as far a I can tell, is that there is significant value in finding out sooner what the needed features a

This is my concern as well. If critical open source packages become dependent on these corporations for "secure" releases, does that enable them to force ID verification into packages, for example? Related, but most of the smart f

They default it to talking to a free version of their model (which is incredibly cheap if you decide you like it.) But it seems trivially easy to run it against local models. Their onboarding guide offers that option, though I have no idea

Interesting. I've been using their models quite a bit, through Claude Code, might try switching to this. I also built a couple of harnesses, I wonder if I could swap this for Claude in those... (Lots of interesting ideas in the blog po

For whatever reason, I get very few push notifications on my phone. Compared to my days at Blackberry, it's probably 10% as frequent that I get interrupted by my phone. So good for me. But there's some really scary stuff in here h

That's not generally true in the US over the last 40 years, where the gains from productivity increases have been accumulated almost entirely by the top classes. Yes, lower classes have access to many more conveniences then they might
