Try a MoE model like Qwen3.6 35B-A3B for better tok/s

There are LLM models which compute only using addition no?

New comment by sean_pedersen in "What happens if you put work into the second dimension?"

Just gave it a spin and feels very rough / unpolished. - Why is the default scroll wheel action panning vertically and not zooming in and out (the main interaction)? - Why is the app size 1GB? - Everything feels clunky / not native - these are not my real apps.

This would need a lot of work to feel frictionless but I like the concept.

Looks very interesting - is it open-source yet?

"Any attempt to build AI generated content (deep fake) detection systems is flawed, since the outputs of such a system may be used to train an even better fake data generator. This leads to an equilibrium state of digital uncertainty: nothing in the digital realm can be deemed as real anymore - only as digital. I do not care if a digital artifact is human or AI made - I only care if it is useful to me. Useful content is on point, factual and at best surprising (teaches something new)." - https://seanpedersen.github.io/posts/digital-uncertainty/

It is not about AI generated or not, it is and always has been about quality of the content. So just let the people up- / downvote.

Please explain in simple words what it is and does. Is user data stored unencrypted on your servers?

Show HN: Digger Solo – Local AI File Explorer

sean_pedersen — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 19:25:48 +0000

After a lot of work I present Digger Solo 0.5.0 - the AI file explorer that respects your privacy (everything runs locally).

Demo video: https://vimeo.com/1198414414

New features: - LLM Chat with RAG (bring your own OpenAI compatible API key - ideally host a local model) - fresh redesign with light theme available in settings - multi-tabbed GUI: open multiple semantic maps at once - smart music player: auto-plays similar songs

Digger Solo offers semantic search and maps that allow you to browse your files intuively - uncovering hidden connections and near duplicates easily.

Happy to answer questions.

as long as the text is not slop (no hallucinations / factual) and useful to me, I do not care about the author of it

The test acc. UX flow is shit IMHO: I do not want to see the first user tips (just annoying flashes) and I can not directly edit the first doc I see.

Like the idea but it spawns a terminal on startup on Mac and is not WYSIWYG (like Obsidian). Hope this project develops into usable state soon.

Would this kind of bug have been catched by the Rust compiler?
