Serifs are so back and I'm so excited.

ChatGPT kicked off with 3.5, now this is the reverse. Would be fun to drag race these against each other, the harbinger of a revolution against now the fast path serve billions model.

YouTube's hostility is truly remarkable, by far the most egregious that the Subscriptions page in the TV app having a dedicated row for "recommendations" and "shorts" before you can proceed.

Codex CLI switched from a typescript implementation to a Rust based one.

My latest favorite is now that the Subscriptions panel adds a bonus "Recommended" row at the top, and then two rows down, a "Recommended Shorts"

I really hope it's not going to take years to be sold in Australia, like the Steam Deck took.

For those curious, I found this to be a very entertaining retelling of events from Nortel's persepective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6xwMIUPHss

I was road testing tool calling in LM Studio a week ago against a few models marked with tool support, none worked, so I believe it may be a bug. Had much better luck with llama.cpp’s llama-server.

This is mainly for fun, really.

Tsoding's main lesson is how simple systems can be and the desire and demand for complex build systems is silly.

You see it in Windows 10, as well. Seeing the "working on it" when navigating folders, as if I'm using 5400 RPM hard disk drives.

My problem also. Loved Ruby's object model, but it seems the metaprogramming gives too much freedom to run free and wild. I had a hard time understanding understanding how some gems even achieve, as they crisscross across files and other gems.

Ran into the same payment bug mentioned elsewhere, also would like to mention the tech support gives "Oops a problem occurred" when trying to submit.

Looks schmick tho, and have been looking for a tool to plan out my place before I move in, found most tools expensive or lacking.

Yeah, there's really great history and some amazing stories to be heard from the interviews.

Twitter doesn't really work at all when logged out. Try logged in or using something like nitter.net

I was happy paying for YouTube Premium, but they just doubled the price in my geo. So yeah, i'm considering not paying.

Delving into a gem sometimes makes me lose faith in ever using dependencies again.

They train you to do this when they volume boost the ads to blow your eardrums out.

Photoshop is general image manipulation, layers brushes, all the power.

Lightoom is more for photography. Ingest workflow, applying small changes like colour adjustments and applying them on batches. Non-destructive edits, working with raw images without the need to "render" them into bitmaps.

After Lightoom 6 they moved to Creative Cloud, to a fairly expensive subscription. Furthermore, they did a revamp to become more inline with their mobile offerings, and started feeling even more sanded down.
