If they are owned and operated by mega-corporations like Alphabet, they are not public

If they were taking the bus in Tacoma, it would be owned and operated by King County Metro which is publicly owned and uses roads that are publicly owned. A great deal of the buses…

Authoritarianism has a funny way of not giving you a choice in the matter.

Needing large context window is a skill issue

Using Claude/ChatGPT I rarely hit >256k context for most basic coding tasks. Sometimes if I need to do something more "intense" (bigger refactors, new features) the 1mil window is …

I live in the US in the Pacific Northwest, one of the *least* air conditioned regions in the country. I have never had built-in AC since moving here in the early 2000's. Back in th…

I did have RCS issues with GrapheneOS (on T-Mobile in the US) for a while, but at some point that was fixed and it works flawlessly now. As for camera apps, the stock GrapheneOS ca…

Thank you so much for Kagi, using it has been the most meaningful change I have made in my digital life in the past 5 years.

Oh snap, you're right that Claude can't generate images. All of these chat interfaces blur together in my head these days haha

Zed's original reason for being was collaborative programming https://zed.dev/docs/collaboration/overview Not sure if the agent stuff is shared in the "channels", though.

I've heard that refrain ("we can switch models so we won't be obsolete!") a hundred times, but it doesn't hold any water for me. OpenAI and Anthropic command such a large percentag…

I agree. Some sort of weird placebo effect that people get.

The results here match up to my real-world experience using these models every day at work and switching between them regularly.

Any actual data backing this up? Or is this just your personal experience?

I have a hunch that both OpenAI and Anthropic are building towards this very quickly. It's one of the startup ideas that will be killed overnight when it's "officially" launched. C…

I use it to sync projects that I mainly host on Codeberg up to GitHub. It was a "set it and forget it" kind of thing.

This seems like a weird comment since Codeberg is only for open source projects, you literally cannot use it for private code. On-prem Forgejo would be the equivalent to on-prem Gi…

Seems like this is a new swipe model, though, so it should be more comparable. I also had to switch back to GBoard on GrapheneOS since I was spending more time fixing typos than ac…

Not at a price that your average consumer can afford for a long, long time

Huge way to get pink eye as well :P I agree that the price is the barrier. If it was around $1k I would MAYBE think about buying one. I'm curious to see what the newer Valve headse…

The extension capability is much less powerful than VSCode (no embedded web view) so it's a lot harder to pull off crazy stuff. All of the language support is done via language ser…
