I'll try that. I'm constantly telling it to be "brief, plain and on the point" or something similar. Tried caveman, but I think it had it's own issues.

But the jargon heavy very long responses are my main issue with it I guess.

Searched the thread, waited for it to be posted. No pelican on bicycle :(

This. Just cleaned up my t-shirt shelf and need to archive the nice yellow T-shirt they sent to early adopters. Not wearing it.. (Obviously it goes for the services as well). Not happy at all.

My jaw dropped. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Closed private trackers are bastions of hope of preserving human culture. Every iteration since oink, they have become better and better and while at one point they will close the current ones, we will persevere. Where else would we find forgotten underground music only few people remember and how specific vinyl sounds. It's the community and love for music.

> But Hollywood also eats its own tail. Filmmakers grow up watching films, and they tend to draw from other films, the same way that LLMs just kinda rearrange pieces from ingested text (which is an oversimplification, bear with me).

But this is how culture works I think. It's not the act of copying or rearranging or borrowing but how the material is being processed and what drives the change I think.

Giving Uruky a try. Really like the privacy model and that I can avoid giving money to that index with Y letter.

Care to explain what you mean by "shoving AI into...". Uruky is pretty bare-bones and there is no smell of AI anywhere. You talking about Kagi?

Would be so nice to use those previous Paperwhites for something like this as well. Instead I just lose them while travelling. Just lost my last 2019/smth edition. 3rd one with such fate..

Note that I just elaborated what I thought was being asked. Parantheses - see what switching professionally to Ruby wonderland to Python does to a person! Just in about half a year needed..

New comment by ilvez in "Uv is fantastic, but its package management UX is a mess"

ilvez — Fri, 22 May 2026 03:29:00 +0000

isn't ~= supported by uv or the discussion is about uv not adding it when package is added by command line rather than editing pyproject file? ~= is standard practice for me, as I always rather edit the file than memorize the commands.

I really don't understand all the FUD about it. Their stack is mainly GPLv3 and if they start to drag it to really bad territories, current awesome tooling cannot be taken away. What am I missing?

Lived like this years, never going to look back. Add mobile to the mix and you're screwed with conflicts and manual resolution.

Have version lock as well, but dependency resolution seems to be messed up for a time. Started unrelated upgrade action and got blocked :)
