So much efficient use of space though, would love to have this UI on top of opencode/codex

Other providers probably don't even know/care that this is happening

update: coreweave/fp8 is at 191 tps, launched this morning, but really bad cache hit rate (~60%), coreweave is good for privacy but let's hope they improve cache

just checked, yes they don't seem to provide that information, most other providers are advertising fp8 or fp4 which is okay, but "together" doesn't, so they are likely using fp4

openrouter, "together" provider is fastest (165 t/s at the time of writing) and has ZDR and all

thehamkercat — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 20:28:26 +0000

MCP lead to one good thing though

a lot of websites that never bothered to provide a REST API are now exposing MCP server because it has become popular, and you can use those servers to write normal automation for yourself, without plugging in any LLM etc

> 02 - Cryopreservation

Demonstrate the ability to cryopreserve and recover live wild-type mice with high viability.

> 06 - Somatic limb regeneration

Demonstrate the ability to regenerate lost limbs in adult wild-type mice.

Interesting, but looks like these problems are proposed in September 2026, unlike original 7 Millennium Prize Problems of Maths

My frustration is omarchy getting more than $18 million in funding for some dotfiles... (i know it's an exaggeration, because omarchy foundation itself seems to be funding projects like Hyprland/Quickshell/mise)

but archlinux project probably deserved it instead of omarchy

(linux kernel already has enough funding i guess, so they don't need this)

---

Can someone explain me, how are they going to profit off this? they can't expect to show ads to linux users right?

i use sops

Encrypt: sops encrypt --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv .env > secrets.enc.env

then rm .env

You can then run your script/dev with: sops exec-env secrets.enc.env 'docker xxxx' (it will ask you for your password, or touch-id to decrypt the secrets)

I like this because this way the .env doesn't sit in the directory at all, and is only passed to your dev environment and stays in it while it's running

Decrypt back to a file (if you ever want that): sops decrypt secrets.enc.env > .env

---

Well ofc, any agent can do docker inspect to get all those env vars, but atleast reading the dotfiles won't do anything

you can also edit the file with: sops --input-type dotenv --output-type dotenv secrets.enc.env

This is crazy, but sadly anthropic/openai will never do this, what has happened to this world, where chinese companies are more open than US or even EU companies

I think people shouldn't just jump to distros which are getting heavily hyped in media/Youtube, cachyOS had similar wave, and now Omarchy does.

(example: NetworkChuck, Primeagen? and a few others)

also, archlinux is much easier to install nowadays with archinstall [1], so i'm not sure you really need another opinionated layer on top of it
