right now I have bought into the Nix koolaid a bit.

I have NixOS Linux machines and then nix-darwin on my Mac.

I use Nix to install Brew and then Brew to manage casks for things like Chrome what I'm sure updates itself. So the "flake.lock" probably isn't super accurate for the apps you described.

The world doesn't need a dozen JS engines.

The world doesn't need many dozens of Linux distros.

The world doesn't need a handful of BSD distros.

The world doesn't need many dozens of package managers.

The world doesn't need hundreds of JS frameworks.

The world doesn't need dozens of programming languages or chat protocols or CI/CD systems.

The world doesn't need dozens of init systems, service managers, display servers, audio stacks, universal app formats, build tools/bundlers.

Deno may have dragged the JS runtime space forward, fully agree. Maybe it served its purpose and it is time to say goodbye.

Who cares? Why does the world need so many fringe tools/runtimes? So much fragmentation. Why does every project have to be a long-term success? Put some stuff out if its misery. Don't waste the time of the already few open-source contributors who pour hours into something for no good reason.

    const { rows } = client.query(
      "select id, name, last_modified from tbl where id = $1",
      [42],
    );

    const { rows } = client.query(
      "select id, name, last_modified from tbl where id = :id",
      { id: 42 },
    );

I wish in 2026 the default on new computers (Windows + Mac) was not only "inbound firewall on by default" but also outbound and users having to manually select what is allowed.

I know it is possible, it's just not the default and more of a "power user" thing at the moment. You have to know about it basically.

Is the writing on the wall for $100-$200/mo users that, it's basically known-subsidized for now and $400/mo+ is coming sooner than we think?

Are they getting us all hooked and then going to raise it in the future, or will inference prices go down to offset?

I do not like reading things like this. It makes me feel very disconnected from the AI community. I defensively do not believe there exist people who would let AI do their taxes.

Are there a lot of options how "how far" do you quantize? How much VRAM does it take to get the 92-95% you are speaking of?

the digital gold narrative falls apart when non-digital gold outperforms it and nobody wants it for its digital properties (payments, blockchain, etc.)
