I canceled my pebble preorder when I found out it can only record audio for a couple minutes at a time. A big use case for me is to record voice notes without going into the distraction center that is my phone, but often they can be 20+ minutes

I mean, of course it was a matter of being at the right place and right time, and being able to execute. He definitely was lucky but that alone isn't enough

What even is retirement age and what practical impact would changing it have on society? People can retire or keep working at whatever age they want as long as they can afford to

Not sure I get what you're saying?

Is it odd that i was disappointed this wasn't about physics?

Thankfully it's been working well for me when i use it, which tbh hasn't been that much lately since I'm getting an agent to write code for me more and more.

One thing they need to add is a way to double click on file names in agent output to navigate to it. It works in the bottom terminal but not the agent terminal panes or built in agents

Whoever on the zed team came up with this must be coding with agents way more than i am, because it hasn't come up for me as something I'd really need yet. But it sounds cool anyway. I guess it's kind of like undo history but persistent and with more visibility, and with branching? Anyone from zed here to comment?

Cool, looks like it's not just a collection of apps but an sdk for building your own too

Just read the post you linked but didn't really get it. You left oxide to build something on jj?

I tried out deepseek v4 pro via a couple providers from openrouter, and it's always getting 429s. Are you running it on your own hardware?

I know very little about this but it seems like the kind of thing that can and eventually will be solved computationally, not by people figuring out what a parameter or group of parameters represent

I watched his speech until he got cut off by the guy saying he's out of order and I have to admit I really didn't follow what he was saying

Not sure I get your point, they're more fragile than manual toothbrushes not less. The metal connector part starts getting loose and it becomes loud and ineffective

Did they have to write this publicity blogpost as part of the deal to get access to Mythos?

So, are they gonna add official support for this in the wifi standard someday? It sounds like the way that this works is a non-standard workaround

Maybe he or his lawyers thought he would fare better with a judge? Hard to say. I've heard that there are a lot fewer jury trial in Canada vs US but I'm not sure why.

I still don't have access to Opus 5. I'm on the latest version from Homebrew, I guess the update hasn't made it there yet
