I was really interested in this when it first came out years ago. I was also a heavy social media user and it was amazing to have a tool that allowed you to own your data and then share with various other closed social media platforms as or if you like. This idea is still amazing today, although I've lost interest in social media platforms generally (so don't have as much of a need for this awesome tool).

I agree with this statement. Kimi K2.5 is at least as good as the best closed source models today for my purposes. I've switched from Claude Code w/ Opus 4.5 to OpenCode w/ Kimi K2.5 provided by Fireworks AI. I never run into time-based limits, whereas before I was running into daily/hourly/weekly/monthly limits all the time. And I'm paying a fraction of what Anthropic was charging (from well over $100 per month to less than $50 per month).

Anecdotally, I've cancelled my Claude Code subscription after using Kimi K2.5 and Kimi CLI for the last few days. It's handled everything I've thrown at it. It is slower at the moment, but I expect that will improve.

Does Microsoft get 27% of the debt?

IPFS and Filecoin exist to solve this problem.

This is an awesome resource for Toronto, and a good depiction of it. But at first glance this looks to be incomplete. For instance the Ritz Carlton actually connects to 200 Wellington West.

This looks good, but in order for me to try this it would need vi support and a Linux install option.

The fact that they chose to suspend the professor as an initial step is still an issue.

What a dumpster fire. I feel for all affected employees (former and soon-to-be former).

You very likely have a cooling system issue. Normal temps should be closer to half that (~50c). Of course it depends on ambient temps and if you are overclocking, but 100c is not anywhere near normal.

There are several good recommendations (along with analysis and reasons) from the latest Hardware Unboxed video. This channel does a great job on all their hardware reviews, but they are the best when it comes to their display reviews. The video in the link below focuses on the best 4K displays as of April:

This is great, thanks for posting this site. I am one of those who bought this awesome treadmill for several reasons, including to watch netflix and plex. It's been frustrating not being able to easily do this... I have just been listening to podcasts from my phone.

She's discussing findings that come from papers written by other scientists, so she is obviously not a lone wolf.

This is not a problem inherent to rail systems or travel. This is a symptom of the poor state of the US rail system.

I didn't take this comment as derogatory. Instead I see it as a good comment explaining that this example is much more than just "a program that executes at startup"... as it seems some people may have initially thought when glancing at only the start of the github readme page.

Many look at this current situation and draw conclusions around how much office-centered work employees are willing to put up with, which is great. But others are looking at this as an opportunity... workers leaving companies means openings at those companies.

I was totally about to agree with your post based on the first part (needing a better way to distribute land). But I don't feel that idea and the idea of prefab homes are mutually exclusive.

I am not one of these people. I miss going into work and seeing people in person. I left my previous awesome job when I moved from Toronto because I decided I would find whatever developer job I could find in the town I was moving to rather than work remotely (that was before the pandemic). Now I'm at a job that will eventually be in the office, and also has traveling to customer sites built in, and I can't wait until that starts up.
