omlx is quite similar to LM Studio, so there are "options like LM Studio" which are open source

You care if you run it on a laptop. It's getting hot, fans are spinning, and you may want to use laptop for other things while the agent is working.

I do have this experience. I've used Claude Code (with Opus mostly), and then switched to opencode (mostly with Kimi 2.6) for my personal projects; it's based on a couple months of…

Go for it! It's very satisfying :)

I'm not sure I want AI to touch me emotionally. It feels insincere and manipulative, especially when I don't know upfront if the content (music, video, text) is from another human …

> whereas the best engines average 99.something%? To compute accuracy, you compare the moves which are made during the game with the best moves suggested by the engine. So, the eng…

I think he/she is reacting mostly to this quote from the article, not to the main article topic: > I have a good answer: my job is to double our value-add capacity over the next th…

The URL parsing in httpx is rfc3986, which is not the same as WHATWG URL living standard. rfc3986 may reject URLs which browsers accept, or it can handle them in a different way. W…

A great initiative! We need a better URL parser in Scrapy, for similar reasons. Speed and WHATWG standard compliance (i.e. do the same as web browsers) are the main things. It's po…

Exit Through the Gift Shop - an amusing documentary about somebody trying to find Banksy (a street artist), and much more, supposingly directed by Banksy himself. There is some deb…

No.

The advice to use lru_cache is good. But there is an issue if lru_cache is used on methods, like in the example given in the article: 1. When lru_cache is used on a method, `self` …

Not sure about the autofocus advice; I'm pretty happy with manual focus. It requires static camera placement, and fixed distance to the person, but isn't this happening anyways? Ar…

Hm, I haven't noticed any increased latency when using a DSLR as a webcam.

As I understand, the drivers (webcam utility? not sure) are built for x86. For some reason they don't work in apps which are built for M1, so the camera only works if an app which …

Is it such a big issue? My Canon DSLR turns off every 30min, but that's only for a couple of seconds, it then turns back on. On a positive side, it's now easy to notice when 30min …

That's interesting.. We're working on web data extraction in Zyte (former Scrapinghub); we have an Automatic Extraction product ( https://docs.zyte.com/automatic-extraction-get-sta…

I'm unsure about the advice of sticking to 1440p at 27". I have a non-retina imac 27 (1440p), external LG 27" 4K USB-C monitor and a macbook pro 13 with a real "retina", and use th…

My son (4.5yo) became a huge fan of Moomin tales recently. Books, audio books, cartoons; he likes them more than super heroes these days. These tales are not only nostalgia materia…

I wouldn't consider a high number of open issues a problem on its own. All big popular projects with a history have a high number of open issues. There are some exceptions, who may…

The approach is very different from Dragnet. AutoExtract uses neural networks. CSS and HTML can only get you so far; we actually process screenshots as pixels (like humans do), it …

Firefox Reader View uses https://github.com/mozilla/readability ; if I'm not mistaken, it should be an algorithm which is similar to the one implemented in python-readability.

Not sure about fulltime career, and also about your current life circumstances; the best way may depend a lot on them. This is what worked for me: 1. University, some time after it…

The API is quite simple - you need to implement a script which takes 3 arguments, writes a result of a merge to a file, and exits with non-zero status code in case of merge error. …
