played around with it a little, works great for - basic conversational tasks - basic reasoning - creating little UI snippets and not good for one shot coding tasks. once it starts hallucinating about something you can't make it rectify that. during a coding task it wrote some madeup library function, despite of pointing it out, giving docs, it kept producing the same code with the madeup function all while acknowledging the problem. btw, thanks for putting it together!

It's hard to imagine how a single person managed to accomplish so much. RIP to the great soul :|

There is also lemonade-server from AMD. Although I am not sure if that is any better.

For real, one of the reasons I use cal.com is because it's open source. Time to migrate.

No you certainly didn't, otherwise you shouldn't have come up with such a meaningless excuse!

I see that is an issue with many people, but now with github adding support for stacked PRs, I guess that would change

I think one major difference between git and jj is how immutable their DAG is, due to the difference in how they refer to their unit of change (i.e. stable change ID with changing commit IDs vs. immutable commit ID). One implication of that is change history in a git repo feels much more immutable to the one in a jj repo. Consequently operations that involves changing the history like, undo/rebase feels much easier/flexible. Is my understanding correct?

At least they aren't hiding and transparent about it unlike the big tech corps with so called SLAs

why this AI slop is on the front page?

But that doesn't always pay the bill, as OP mentioned, he has "adult responsibilities".

This thing is super cool! One other use case I can think of, is to use it to check reliability of the fonts that I chose in my designs, only if the option to choose a custom font was given.

I think so. Just go to the homepage, all of the thumbnails are AI generated with clickbaity titles.

Considering the rate of improvement of these LLMs, wait for a month or two and then you may not even need an os, let alone some obsecure piece of software (shell).

everytime I see this as the ultimate conclusion for all of these kind of hype posts
