What is it lacking in your eyes that makes it not true? I find fish’s vi mode more ergonomically complete for things like editing multi-line commands

Are you running with all the --fit options and it’s not working correctly? You could try looking at how many layers are being attempted to offload and manually adjust from there. Walk down --n-gpu-layers with a bash script until it loads.

I'm not sure if it's working right for me on Orion Version 1.0.3 (142), WebKit 624.1.2.19.2. I type my word, hit "Enter," and I still get the hint to press "Enter."

It would also probably be more effective to not change the mechanics between the starting hit and subsequent ones. Instead of automatically starting after typing "hit," the user should have to hit "Enter" as well.

Others have already told you the name of the project, but if you happen to be on Arch, I have a PKGBUILD written for PlantStudio. I haven't published it to the AUR since I don't necessarily want to be the maintainer though. Shoot me an email (in my bio) if you're interested

This isn't rsync, but you can integrate a-Shell[0] with iOS Shortcuts. You would need to make the syncing happen in the script instead of in the background though. I use a Python script to create aliases for my email this way, so I don't have to turn on wildcard addressing to my inbox.

I'm Ella. I'm currently a neurobiology researcher, but I want to get back to my machine learning and computer vision roots. I have experience with building deep learning models, object avoidance, and data visualization. I tend to be a quick learner, and I have good communication skills.

I would be excited to hear about positions where I can model data for hard problems. ML Engineering and Robotics would be good fits, and I've gotten a better understanding of biological systems in my current position. Reach out by email if anything here catches your eye, and I would be happy to talk. My current role is tentatively wrapping up around the holiday season this year.

I follow a similar but more terse pattern. I prepend them all with a comma, and I have yet to find any collisions. If you're using bash (and I assume posix sh as well), the comma character has no special meaning, so this is quite a nice use for it. I agree that it's nice to type "," and see all my custom scripts appear.

What's the benefit of the container over installing as a tool with uv? It seems like extra work to get it up and running with a GPU, and if you're using a Mac, the container slows down your models.

Is this a real bug? I recently got a MacOS device for the first time, and I have been frustrated that I couldn't get my custom service to work. Just like you, the script writes to files when I run it myself, but does nothing as a service.

I've been debugging it on and off for a couple of months because I assumed I messed something up.
