You can use an external drive if it's mounted as a writable volume. I would make sure it's fast, maybe thunderbolt 3/4/5 enclosure with a fast drive.

Yep, I chucked it a file on my desktop: index.html present Max individual file size 25MB Total file count <2000 Total size less than 100MB

My friends can't ride horses as well as they used to, they've been using cars to get around too much. Sure horses are more efficient, but cars are faster and more convenient, and a…

Cool, I also use AI as a tool.

Apple's tablets are great, but I think we're just pretty close to the limit for these entertainment devices. I have a now 7(!) year old Tab S5e that I use to consume media, and it'…

They're definitely more popular right now, but they've been a winner since M1. Great performance, quiet, efficient. It would be tough to get a windows machine at that price that ge…

Something something selling shovels in a gold rush.

There's very good steam integration, a controller first UI, it's very performant, sleep works better, fantastic performance monitoring and settings. I love it, but there's probably…

Agree with everything here. Anecdote: I purchased an EV this year, my highest priority was range per dollar, and the vehicle I selected happened to be new because of current market…

I agree, claude is an impressive agent but it seems like it's impatient and trying to make its own thing, tries to make its own tests when I already have them, etc. Maybe better fo…

Roller coaster tycoon is good. The business software I have to work with from the 80s is a straight up nightmare. And I'd say most old software is in this camp.

I just switched to the iPhone with the new cycle, explicitly because of this news. Sideloading was the killer feature for me as well.

I agree, it's like they looked at GPT 3.5 one time and said "this isn't for me" The big 3 - Opus 4.1 GPT5 High, Gemini 2.5 Pro Are astonishing in their capabilities, it's just a ma…

I don't know, it's nice to have icons and buttons that actually look like what they're going to do instead of amorphous blobs.

I read the article linked above with all of the testing they did to identify the cause, I'd definitely have no trouble buying from them in the future. Reminiscent of the tylenol ca…

Sure it can, easiest way is to get ollama, then `ollama run gemma3n` You can pair it with tools like simonw's LLM to pipe stuff to it.

The author implies they're a highschool aged programmer. They're likely along for the ride with their parents and very online. I'd probably do the same thing at their age.

I think they are fairly interchangeable, In Roo Code, Claude uses the tools better, but I prefer gemini's coding style and brevity (except for comments, it loves to write comments)…

That's a car payment...

I've been actively developing a commercially deployed SvelteKit application, and I'd like to share some thoughts on my experience. What initially drew me to SvelteKit was its simpl…

The default model on ollama is the 7b distillation. Its ability to solve basic math problems with reasoning is pretty cool, but other models of that size (qwen 2.5, phi4) have been…

These benchmarks have even the small models absolutely demolishing Sonnet-3.5, which doesn't reflect my subjective experience. It still seems to me that these models are 'dumb' and…

I love this idea. YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYTHONS

While this raises valid concerns, Copilot and friends can actually enhance learning by exposing devs to new patterns and approaches. They still require problem-solving and critical…
