    Don’t think I have ever came across a queue to buy a laptop before but congrats to the framework team.

    I actually really like that inverse Kickstarter idea, makes a lot of sense especially if you did some kind of enter some pain/problem, search through existing idea markets and you …

    I would say Sent2 but there is examples of recent censorship with that as well ( https://hntrbrk.com/eu-satellites/ )

    Never thought about the impact of comments, perhaps there is value in stripping those out of read file tools

    It’s a really interesting project, worth checking out the video where he merged it with a companion computer to do computer vision tasks and inject controls straight into the fligh…

    True, certainly something you could do with Tailscale+tmux but if this makes that a lot easier then it could end up being popular, increasingly the people who are pushing the most …

    Fair enough but the examples shown could surely just display some pre-cooked examples to give a demo of how rhe product works with no real cost to you or barrier to potential users…

    Confused me at first as when I saw mention of local + the single file thing in the GitHub I assumed they were going to have llamafile bundled and went looking through to see what m…

    100%, trying a bit of an experiment like this(similar in that I mostly just care about playing around with different agents, techniques etc.) it has built out literally hundreds of…

    And most of the big players now have some kind of browser or bowser agent that they could just leverage to gather training data from locked down sources.

    ^This 100%. Junior SWE here. Agentic coding has kinda felt like a promotion for me. I code less by hand and spend more time on the actual engineering side of things. There’s hype i…

    That’s why I like how OC handles sharing sessions https://opencode.ai/docs/share/ Wish other tools would copy this functionality(and maybe expand it so colleagues can pick up on se…

    In terms of training your own models, is there enough COBOL available for training or are you going to have to convince your customers to let you train on their data (do you think …

    Yea, that’s something that stuck out to me as well. Seems like auto save and version control could be done in a minimalist manner whist improving QOL

    Actually seems like a really cool product, not sure if it would be that useful for any serious reading due to the small size but probably useful for displaying a calendar and other…

    Agreed, “ Popularity as a better indicator”. Hypothetically you could look at popularity over time to filter out viral rot content and work out if people feel the content is useful…

    We need a benchmark to test this, give an agent access to a browser and card details and set it free.

    That animated ascii art on your site is really cool, something I will definitely have to keep in mind for documenting some of my projects in future.

    Haven’t looked into them much but I thought the Chinese labs had released some for this kind of thing
