Since the last time I tried, Apple Maps has come down from plotting some 30 petrol stations in the Sydney CBD to 2. There are in fact none.

Apart from needing to copy and paste destination addresses from Google/Google Maps every time I use Apple Maps, it's great.

Stripe is a wrapper too. Single API key and unified DX atop a world of divergent providers.

Making you pay ~12% fee on foreign country taxes collected by eBay, when those taxes can’t be gamed like postage was, is a bridge too far.

I used to offer listings to the world, now I just add Japan for the odd rare item.

For some reason the latest Claude Desktop release from Anthropic threw off its Claude branding and charm to chase after bland Codex Desktop app look and feels.

Maybe they think OpenAI is doing something right?

New comment by hooch in "How to run Qwen 3.5 locally"

hooch — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 05:58:48 +0000

Changed into a directory recently and fired up the qwen code CLI and gave it two prompts: "so what's this then?" - to which it had a good summary across stack and product, and then "think you can find something todo in the TODO?" - and while I was busy in Claude Code on another project, it neatly finished three HTML & CSS tasks - that I had been procrastinating on for weeks.

This was a qwen3-coder-next 35B model on M4 Max with 64GB which seems to be 51GB size according to ollama. Have not yet tried the variants from the TFA.
