Testing this quiet corner of the web. I collect small notes about everyday tools �� file formats, tiny utilities, offline workflows. First post is just a hello; longer notes will follow once I settle in. Plain text feels good after years of heavy editors.

replied to:

Hey that's interesting... I have an interest in plain text markup languages and tools and stuff. Feels like an overlap. :)

replied to:

I’d love to hear also about these workflows. Welcome!

If you need to hear this, I love you

Thanks

The rho coding harness I’ve made has come along way and I’m constantly trying to evolve it, but whenever I go back to pi it’s startling the difference of what a solid computer science background brings.

The pendulum has swung far in the direction of favouring machine generated content over that from actual people. I wonder when it will swing back?

replied to:

What pendulum? The algorithms’? I don’t think any human is happy about their feeds filling with slop.

Hello! Is anyone else trying local AI? Im dont know what im doing but lately ive been trying "Llama 3,2 3b instruct q5km" on my phone and its been surprisingly good.

Its to replace using central ai for basic tasks like text editing, analysis and brainstorming.

If you have Mac, you might check out this app: blaizzy.github.io/nativ/

i think the best you can get right now is qwen 3.8 27B. youre gonna need 24 gigs of some fast memory though, i heard theres decent quantizations that can also make it run on 16. im quite excited about open/local models, but theres big investment overhead with the prices right now

replied to:

You might be able to try out colibri, its quite good and the models are a bit better. I am unable to connect any of the cli agents to do things with it though, probably due to context limits, but try it out. OlMoe is the lightest

I finally bit the bullet and have started to use dictation software more often, even outside of just my prompts. I really like it. Hopefully, computer use becomes much smoother soon. I would love to be able to control my computer with just my voice.

szóval technikailag nem adatközpontnak nevezném a főterminált, hanem maximum vallatószobának MI ügynökök részére, jelenleg el vagyok akadva a Windows 11 telepítésnél, és néhány könyvet és scriptet még lementenék róla úgy biztonságilag, mielőtt belefognék a vallatószoba kialakításába, itt tényleg olyan sandbox van, amiből nincs nagyon merre mászkálni, kivéve, ha direkt kiküldöm valamelyik webes alkalmazásra

So technically I wouldn't call the main terminal a data center, but more of an interrogation room for MI agents. I'm currently stuck installing Windows 11, and I'd like to download some books and scripts just to be safe before I start building the interrogation room. It's really a sandbox here, with nowhere to go except if I send it directly to a web application.

The 2030 release date of StarCraft: Dominion is so extreme that it feels like an indictment not only of Blizzard but indirectly of AI

They’re owned by Microsoft, of all companies. If AI hyperproductivity is real at scale, then why can’t the game come out next year? Next month?

cool! i've made The Front Page you might want to check it out also - it shows the first 3 pages of HN with AI summaries and images. Like a newspaper.

Anyone know how to get the projects view back on codex? It changed from project categorization to date categorization.

continued:

Nvm. There's a little bell icon on the top right of the sidebar which let's you switch between project and activity views.
