I agree. It was utterly ridiculous how noticeable the improvement was. I was doing z3 solving for ICFP contest the first couple weeks after getting the m1 air. And it was consistently smoking my teammates maxed out i7 MBP

If you haven't tried the new slackbot you should... I've been using it at work and I'm blown away at what it can do with the context it has on you and your teams from slack.

For what it's worth, I notice this week that the built in macOs screenshot tool will capture in HDR.

I don't think claude has even once used this in my conversations (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Voice conversations...) Sycophancy, yes absolutely!

Maybe it has something to do with your profile/memories?

Is essentialai/rnj-1 not the latest attempt at that?

Thanks for sharing. I also like the diagrams for this.

Agree. This is huge. Definitely makes me want to buy more Bose products for my house.

Thank you for sharing. I feel similar to you; jealous this system works for others, sounds like a dream, but too overwhelming for me once it hits some point of no return. Your structure sounds interesting.

I'm genuinely curious how others do not get overwhelmed or sucked into yak-shaving some reorganization of a system like this.

Agree with you! I wonder that myself, also minor unperceetable pixel color differences can be corrected as well i'd guess?

Is it possible that some of the reason pixels are messed up is because of the watermarking? https://deepmind.google/models/synthid/

Or is it purely because the models just don't understand pixel art?

New comment by cipehr in "Orion 1.0"

cipehr — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 22:17:24 +0000

Fair enough. I personally did not read push back in the questions/statements asked/made.

> Trust with regards to...?

I took this to be a good faith ask for clarification

> Orion doesn't have any telemetry... You can audit the application's behavior with standard tools to verify that it isn't "phoning home", etc...

I took this as a statement if what I could do, not specifically what I should do instead of getting it open sourced.

Maybe I read it with more good faith intention and curiosity than I should have. I see your point on how that could be perceived as push back, but I landed somewhere different from where you might have.

What? Since when was asking questions to clarify someones position considered "pushing back?"

Can you help me understand what about the questions make you uncomfortable?

I am completely unaffiliated with Kagi. I find it concerning that we've come to a world were we can't ask questions without it being taken as something hostile to the person/people/idea being questioned. Is that not what science is?

New comment by cipehr in "Experiment: Making TypeScript immutable-by-default"

cipehr — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 17:03:51 +0000

Well said. (I too want that.) I found my first reaction to `MutableArray` was "why not make it a persistent array‽"

Then took a moment to tame my disappointment and realized that the author only wants immutability checking by the typescript compiler (delineated mutation) not to change the design of their programs. A fine choice in itself.
