<p>Tried it again few days ago. I kinda get that currently you can only use AI on Helix through LSP, but on top of that it does not have auto-refreshing files when changed outside - makes it really hard to work with external AIs, as I'm just constantly worrying if I'm editing a stale file.</p>

<p>Just as FYI, for people currently using firefox or want to use firefox but found its keyboard control (or plugins like Vimperator) lacking, I really recommend glide[0] highly.<p>I've used qutebrowser for years as I feel the keyboard controlled web is much more convenient, and there hasn't been any reasonable competition to qutebrowser. The vim keyboard control plugins for chrome or firefox don't fit the bill for me, they feel slow, are often out of focus, and quite limited.<p>glide fixes all of those problems, supports firefox extensions and has a really powerful and approachable scripting API. It's alpha but feels quite ready, I've been running it a few weeks full time and loved the experience.<p>[0] <a href="https://github.com/glide-browser/glide" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/glide-browser/glide</a></p>

<p>I agree with the article and I hold 0 crypto right now. But I still think it's amazing that I can hold something limited, something I can exchange for real money, in my head, just based on math. Sure it is extremely inefficient database, and pretty much all the real value needs to be linked with real world banking, but it does have some really unique features that makes me sad that it (predictably) turned to just scams and speculation.<p>Edit: and the other feature I like is that I could just attach my code to the raw banking backend. People say that anyways everybody just uses exchanges, and that's true, but if you'd ever want to connect to banking backend, you'd get buried in paperwork. With crypto, you'd just run or connect to a node.</p>

<p>I feel like democrats should make it clear that if there's still a fair election and they regain power, they'll go after both the corrupt people in this admin and entities buying favors. The current state can't be too good for the society, at least there should be a clear possible downside for being a part of it.</p>

<p>Trump also said he's gonna tell Australia's prime minister about the reporter, which is kinda nuts (and hilarious?)<p>Old track, but just hard to imagine what would have happened if Biden was asked about his corruption and answered like that. But it's hypothetical anyway, since no previous president would ever be rug-pulling crypto scams or selling watches and bibles.<p>I just can't believe how weekly, or sometimes daily, I share these wild stories and videos with some friends and they keep behaving like anything about this is normal. There are so many things that would make me go WTF even without the context of the constant grift it all comes with.</p>

<p>> SIDENOTE: If you want 2 way audio to work in frigate you must use the tapo:// go2rtc configuration for your main stream instead of the usual rtsp://. TP-Link are lazy and only implement 2 way audio on their own proprietary API.<p>Annoyingly when this is in use, I can't use ONVIF which seems like the only way to pan and tilt the camera using open tools. So if I want to use two way audio and also control the camera, I have to stop the process reading tapo:// stream, start onvif client and rotate, turn off onvif client and start streaming using tapo:// again</p>

<p>I definitely agree with all of those points. I just really prefer it completing steps and asking me if we should continue to next step rather than doing half of the step and telling me it's done. And the context degradation seems quite random - sometimes it hits way earlier, sometimes we go through crazy amount of tokens and it all works out.</p>

<p>I've been extremely impressed (and actually had quite a good time) with GPT-5 and Codex so far. It seems to handle long context well, does a great job researching the code, never leaves things half-done (with long tasks it may leave some steps for later, but it never does 50% of a step and then just randomly mock a function like Gemini used to), and gives me good suggestions if I'm trying to do something I shouldn't. And the Codex CLI also seems to be getting constant, meaningful updates.</p>

<p>I would never have bought one before but nowadays it could actually be useful. You could have Codex or Claude Code in your pocket, and every ~15min check the work and write a new prompt. Tablets are too big (for me) to constantly carry around for this, and phones annoyingly small for that use.</p>

<p>Usually you'd have some predefined widths, like 33%, 50% and 67%, and use a shortcut to cycle between them. And you can define window rules to start some applications with different width than your default.<p>edit: and as fellow niri user, I recommend people try it. I think it's one of the easiest tiling WMs to get into, it feels very natural within minutes.</p>

<p>So far I’ve just YOLO'd it. But if I install other software directly from git and the source isn’t fully reliable, I’ll usually at least check recent changes, or have codex take a look through the source, just like I read through PKGBUILDs when installing from AUR. It feels crazy that I then update LazyVim and suddenly pull in 150 new commits, some just minutes old, all with free access to my system.</p>

<p>Am I the only one who thinks the way plugins are updated in lazy.nvim (and probably others) is a bit insane? It seems to just pull the latest commits. Every time I update, I feel one rogue commit away from someone stealing my keys. It definitely feels like the riskiest thing I do on my system. Or have I misunderstood something?</p>

<p>This sounds strange? If I were to build this system (without really having time to think about it), I'd let the AI "build" the order, which would impose some hard limits - like not accepting 18 000 items. Then I'd have the user confirm it without any AI involvement, so you wouldn't end up with bacon in ice cream. This sounds like they just connected an AI directly to ordering functions and that's it?</p>

<p>Seeing this title, I really hoped they'd have a parameter to force the language for voice recognition. Being Finnish with a heavy rally-Finnish accent, the real-time modes quite often end up transcribing my English speech as Finnish text, and strangely, I get the correct Finnish for the words for what I spoke in English. It might not happen during the first sentence, but after a few queries and replies it usually does.<p>According to the OpenAI forums this is a common problem. I see they've addressed this in the post by prompting the model to stick to one language, but previously this didn’t work consistently, and in their Playground the newest `User transcript model` is still the same as before (`gpt-4o-transcribe`), so I don’t have high hopes. Must be hard to implement.<p>edit: Tried it again (with a prompt requesting English like always). By my 6th message it suddenly started transcribing to Finnish, and after that it became more common. Better than it used to be, but in many ways still useless. Though I'm sure it works better for people with lighter accents.</p>
