I had to chuckle at this pro > Built-in Emacs editor The built in editor is a one of my least favorite parts of Emacs. I'm in it for the customizability.

The hard to detect is the compilers technical reason for not doing the analysis. Maybe it will one day. In practice, it's annoying to track if those small util functions become dea…

Could be a good tradeoff for the flash model though. 3.5 -> 3.6 is a tiny bit cheaper and maybe faster? artificialanalysis.ai has it going from 165 tps -> 304 tps. openrouter.ai ne…

So.... What models have actually failed?

Where does the less than a third the price come from? From the provided benchmark suite, it came slightly under half.

I haven't notice any significant changes. My Linux experience gets more polished every year. Last serious issue I remember is a AMD GPU kernel crash around 2022(?). I feel like And…

Seems like it https://www.phoronix.com/review/amd-ryzen-ai-halo/9

This is not surprising and perhaps one of the things I respect about it. Zig is pretty minimalist and I would prefer denying my pet features over becoming design by committee. I'm …

I think of Emacs as more of a lisp machine than text editor. I'm also not sure what an IDE has over Emacs. I have autocomplete, compiler checks, and run tests all within Emacs. For…

If you don't pass an allocator param in Zig, then the function basically can't allocate.

I haven't tried Z.ai, but both Ollama ($20) and OpencodeGo ($10) seem to give me more generous limits than the Claude $20

I'm surprised this is the default. How good are the snapshot management tools?

I thought parentheses were fairly intuitive. They are not for grouping, more like representing an AST. For other languages, similarly, x is not the same as x()

I made a rusty version of this. No linked lists, but that's not important in the grand Scheme of things. https://wmedrano.dev/post/2025/11/15/lisp-1

haha, I definitely wouldn't call my setup fast. But it did get a lot better after Native Compilation and a lot of the major stuff has started async to feel more responsive at least…

No, but I use GLM5.1 instead of Claude/GPT.

I just started Compiling with Continuations by Andrew W. Appel. I hope that by the end of the book I don't find out that CPS compiled code produces bad stack traces.

Which specific models were you using? In March I switched to Opencode + Kimi K2.5 and found it was a step behind. I switched to GLM 5.1 and has felt like a step above. Its probably…

I've been fine with Linux/KDE. Even the fractional scaling support is decent. Edit: Guess it depends on the app

Well, I wouldn't use this since I have my own box. In case its useful: - I run hermes on the box and it has some scheduled cron jobs. - I gave it an account on a custom Git forge. …

I started writing a Scheme interpreter about a year ago and got pretty far. I dropped it a few months back since I got a new job. I'm thinking of getting back and am wondering if t…

Ironically, the top comment (this) is now about AI.
