As a heavy magit user prior to jj, I can attest that I've just felt much less need for it in the wake of jj. Things like JJ's split being interactive and a lot of the commands having really neat short forms has meant that for me,

It's worth scrolling down to the current implementation status part: https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/frankensqlite#current-i... Although I will admit that even after reading it, I'm not exactly sure what

Honestly... ask an AI agent to update them for you. They do an excellent job of reading documentation and searching to pick and choose and filter config that you might care about. After decades of maintaining them myself, this was a huge br

I kind of don't know what to think of startups that keep launching with things like this as their main facility? Perhaps you can have a moment's attention like that, but... was it not apparent to everyone that this was going to be

My guess would be that they're building Apple internal hardware as a precursor? So that Apple can be the test customer?

Yep, I previously implemented it under that name in my own harness. That being said, there is value in actually performing a normal read, because you do often complete it on that first glance.

I think that's reasonable, but then they should have the ability for the agent to, on the next call, override it. Even if it requires the agent to have read the file once or something. In the absence of that you end up with what severa

It seems hard to tell what to think of a company that is simultaneously trying to poison the content that it sends to agents [1] and also doing things like this. I understand their arguments for it - and completely disagree - so I can'

I mean, is it possible that they could run the full-size model on it, but doing so on the smaller amount of hardware that they have is a worse trade-off for now, and it's better to run more of the smaller model so that it can actually

To those wondering about their rationale for this. It would be great if the HN title could be changed to something more like, 'OpenAI requiring ID verification for access to 5.3-codex'? > Thank you all for reporting this issue.

This article is pretty frustrating to read because it conflates many different kinds of so-called AI. The AI plan involving LLMs and generative AI is conflated with a bunch of medical devices that are using stuff that has absolutely nothing

This looks really interesting! I _would_ be curious to try it, but... My first question was whether I could use this for sensitive tasks, given that it's not running on our machines. And after poking around for a while, I didn't f

I did say all the model. :) Yes I've tried Parakeet v3 too. For its own purpose - running locally - it's amazing. The thing that's particularly amazing about this Voxtral model is how incredibly rock solid the accuracy is. Fo

If Jagex would release a server of RS (ideally 3, but 2 is fine) where you could control your character with an agent like this... I would probably play it all day, every day, in parallel with whatever else I was doing.

Having built with and tried every voice model over the last three years, real time and non-real time... this is off the charts compared to anything I've seen before. And open weight too! So grateful for this.

On the topic of things being misleading, GPT-4o transcriber is a very _different_ transcriber to Whisper. I would say not better or worse, despite characterizations such. So it is a little difficult to compare on just the numbers. There&#x2

WER is slightly misleading, but Whisper Large v3 WER is classically around 10%, I think, and 12% with Turbo. The thing that makes it particularly misleading is that models that do transcription to lowercase and then use inverse text normali

Even still - a lot of senior folks, sadly, don't take it super well when candidates are forwarded their way by people above them when they're running a process.

Hullo! Congrats on shipping this, it looks great! I'm very curious about what you mean by 'cross device sync' in the post?

Very cool! I've definitely dreaded trying to make sense of the diverse infra every time we've needed to do this in the past. Several of these are quite simple, but every extra tooling combo in CI can be a real PITA.

They're threatening to remove servers from Italy. They're explicitly NOT threatening to block Italians from being able to access sites through Cloudflare. I have my fair share of problems with CF, but I assume here that they'

It's talking about Luau (gradually typed, https://luau.org/ ), not Lua. Hopefully https://github.com/astral-sh/ty will make the Python typing situation better, but absent that, Python typing is...

That's the funny thing about those here in the spirit of Hacker News. We want to build – to hack. It's all well and good for us all to use Linux to side-step this, but sometimes (shock, horror), we even want to _share_ those hacks

I could certainly see the value in this in principle but sadly the labyrinthine mess that is the Apple permission system (in which they learned none of the lessons of early UAC) illustrates the kind of result that seems to arise from this.
