I was not comparing them. I think the "set of dotfiles" was called Omakub. Omarchy is a distro like any other - custom installer, bootloader, desktop and WM setup, etc.

Red Hat: billions, Canonical/Ubuntu, SUSE: hundreds of millions, Debian: one million/year. It's not that unusual for a distro to get funding - just a different scale here due to their connections. Their foundation is now spon

Who knew a QT app could look this good? Congratulations on the release.

It is kind of crazy that Python allows shadowing standard library modules so easily. If this was a 'feature' in node.js it would have been front-paged and bashed to death in the blink of an eye.

I use plain arduino-cli to develop for them. UIFlow looks like an awful experience.

Nice work. I would suggest rewriting your README with Gemini, the most human of them, so it doesn't read exactly like the thing you are pointing at: https://github.com/louisabraham/load-bearing

Claude usually rates its own writing very highly, which is a problem when trying to make it write differently.

The term harness engineering does not come from Birgitta Boeckeler's article in martinfowler.com. It was first used by Mitchel Hashimoto months earlier in his 'My AI adoption journey' blog post [1], and immediately picked u

Starting? This was obvious way back in 2019, when the US decided to give China a little push developing their own silicon industry.

The two linked issues are for the same bug report. A friend has been urging me to install Omarchy for months. I’ve finally caved in after a horrible experience with highly-praised CachyOS. All I can say is, I understand the hype. It works.

I had Ox Alpha working on coding tasks for a couple days non-stop, via OpenRouter and OpenCode Zen. Crush harness. It was able to complete tasks at a level that I'd put between Sonnet and Opus. It makes few mistakes, but is not that sm

I hope this is not Kimi K3.5 because it really sucks. It is very slow, not particularly smart when it comes to coding, and easily starts going in circles - when not straight up going into a doom loop.

Why would a contractor continue working for two years racking up a $136M dollar bill?

So 3x more, plus the cost of a GPU (another 10k?). How is that value for money to get slightly better performance?

The idea that sellers, especially small businesses, need to pay a fee to compensate for their packaging is already an insult. We already pay 50%+ income tax, 19% VAT on every purchase, how come the costs are not already included in public s

It was actually a welcome change for 'web access'. There were very few open APIs left, MCP forced everyone to actually build public APIs again.

I use Opus 5 almost exclusively at low effort, and get good results. Especially on high it seems to go out on completely unasked-for tangents. Same seems to be true for Sonnet 5. Older models did not behave like this. The mood change in j

Hard disagree. Make more TUIs! TUIs have downsides like accessibility, poor mouse support, but work really well if you focus on keyboard input. It is a better/faster input mode to begin with, especially for power users, but also for

It still feels pretty slow, and I see some low-hanging fruit: - in safari, every image is loaded twice, .heic and .webp - default.png is re-downloaded 31 times, uncached - images below the fold are request immediately, lazy loading would av

One would think so, but is that really true? Some numbers I just got: - the US imports 60-70% of its oil from Canada - 100% of the natural gas - 85% of energy imports - 25% of Uranium - 20% of all mineral imports, ahead of China - the Great

Canada and the EU already have a trade agreement since 2016. The UK economy is about 1/5th that of the EU, not enough to move the dial, and they kind of went off in the opposite direction around that same time...

Agreed. Pacing is off, too dense. It feels like AI wrote it, then they did another round of AI to change the tone and light edits.
