    ...and then scroll down a few lines and you will find tons of em-dashes in the AGENTS.md

    this looks cool for game development, because using Git for projects in Unity and Unreal Engine definitely has it's issues. I'm personally not a fan of Git LFS, especially since Gi…

    Exactly this, and this tool called qmd is what I use for the hybrid search portion. It also uses local LLMs to provide summaries on your own markdown data too. My agents use both d…

    So Opus 4.7 is measurably worse at long-context retrieval compared to Opus 4.6. Opus 4.6 scores 91.9% and Opus 4.7 scores 59.2%. At least they're transparent about the model degrad…

    Did you also try Forgejo? If so, what are the differences between the two? I didn't even know GitLab had a self-hosted option. I assume it's probably better for Enterprise-grade pr…

    I have enjoyed using Forgejo over GitHub for local work. The features that GitHub has that plain Git does not includes a nice web renderer of markdown and code, issues and pull req…

    Coqui TTS is actually deprecated, the company shut down. I have a voice assistant that is using gpt-5.4 and opus 4.6 using the subsidized plans from Codex and Claude Code, and it u…

    If you want your comments to sound more human — stop using em dashes everywhere. LLMs love them — along with neat structure, “furthermore”-style transitions, and perfectly balanced…

    The RTX 5090 only has 32gb of VRAM. So the tradeoff is NVIDIA is for blazing speed in a tiny memory pool, but Apple Silicon has a larger memory pool at moderate speed.

    I'm running a local voice agent on a Mac Mini M4. Qwen ASR for STT and Qwen TTS on Apple Silicon via MLX, Claude for the LLM. No API costs besides the Claude subscription but the i…

    Do you think it would be possible in the future to maybe add developer settings to enable or disable certain features, or to switch to other sandboxing methods that are more lightw…

    OpenAI Codex CLI was able to use it effectively, so at least AI knows how to use it. Still, its deprecated and not maintained, Apple needs to make something new soon.

    Yup it uses Apple Virtualization framework for virtualization. It makes it so I can't use the Claude Cowork within my VMs and that's when I found out it was running a VM, because i…

    I've been running something similar for a few months, which is a voice-first interface for Claude Code running on a local Flask server. Instead of texting from my phone, I just tal…

    Is this the same continue that was for running local AI coding agents? Interesting rebrand.

    The friction didn't disappear with AI tools. It just shifted. It's now more so about knowing when to trust an AI system versus when to dig into things yourself. The key insight is …

    If you give an LLM enough context, it writes in your voice. But it requires using an intelligent model, and very thoughtful context development. Most people don't do this because i…

    Heads up: Whisper support depends on how your FFmpeg was built. Some packages will not include it yet. Check with `ffmpeg -buildconf` or `ffmpeg -filters | grep whisper`. If you co…

    I’m fascinated by this new paradigm. We’ve more or less perfected Mixture-of-Experts inside a single model, where routing happens between subnetworks. What GPT-5 auto (and this pap…

    As of now it's not integrated into Claude Code. "We’re also exploring how to bring long context to other Claude products". I'm sure they already know about this issue and are tryin…

    OpenAI definitely tarnished the name of GPT-5 by allowing these issues to occur. It's clearly a smaller model optimized for cost and speed. Compare it to GPT-4.5 which didn't have …
