Hmm, this looks interesting. I've wanted to try something like this with an API provider that's free. I wonder how difficult to setup and how good OpenCode can be if used together with Ollama/llama.cpp and/or DeepSeek-Coder or Quen?
THIS!!! I'm right there with you. Imo, using aoe (or whatever tool you can find for session management) is the key unlock to help give us all the patience to try out the ollama/lmstudio/mlx providers to see how they really perform. We're lacking information about what work is really being done with local coding models, at least somewhat because imo most github open source repos don't ask you to share what LLM you used to help you, and they should.
We need to start sharing our specific success and failure stories from using local llms for coding
Ha, though not with AI Agents, with Docker Containers instead, I too have nuked my home directory a few times when using "rm -rf" which is why I now use "trash-cli" which sends stuff to the trash bin and allows me to restore back. It's just a matter of remembering not use "rm -rf". A tough habit to break :(
Toying/Vive Coding with the idea or algorithm to classify the tendencies, ideological biases, and sentiment from contents of posts on message forums, including HN, by using LLMs to measure the temperatures and intensities of posters and replies to posts. Also thinking of incorporating ability to identify potential duplicate accounts, (e.g. same user multiple accounts) based on similar language and grammatical usage in posts. Don't see much of that type of detection in forums or message boards. Perhaps it can be useful in law enforcement circles. It's a work in progress, though, no repos yet.
Windows has evolved into the world's highest security risk. MacOS feels like Eye Candy due to its increasingly inaccessible price for people with low resources. So, price and security are the reasons why I switched to Linux.
Getting a macbook is cheaper than it has ever been. You can get a new m4 macbook air for around 750 on amazon. The prices of apple laptops have been dropping every year despite inflation in the rest of the economy....
Yes, prices have gone down over the years, but still unaffordable by people who can afford less.
Don't get me wrong, MacOS graphics, aesthetics, GUI, are awesome and I like its consistency but there are cons, too.
They typically have a higher upfront cost, limited upgrades, fewer ports/software options, repair challenges.
For comparisons, I purchased an Acer Helios 300, three or four years with the following specs:
The Acer Predator Helios 300
Processor: Intel® Core™ i7
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Storage: 512 GB SSD
Display: 15.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS ComfyView
Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX 20xx.
I upgraded the machine's drives, to three, run Windows on the 500GB SSD drive, Linux on a 2TB M.2 drive and have a 4TB storage drive.
This is not something that I could do on a MacOS without a significant price upgrade. As such, I would say that MacOS is restrictive as far as hardware upgrade, and price. It's just Eye Candy for most people.
Still lots of cash, versus a 400 euro laptop, which is what many regular people end up buying.
There is a reason so many European operators have contract offers for TV or Internet packages, where customers get Apple gear "for free", naturally with a several years bound contracts.
Ha, I have nothing on my machine that anyone would want. Yes, my life is that boring. So no, I keep nothing of importance in the drives, just old memories.
Out of the box, I've experienced less spyware-related issues with Linux. I have enabled UFW, installed ClamAV, closed or blocked communication with some ports. But for the most part, I've not had the same problems that had caused system and browser infections. If anything, the badly designed hardware of the machines and systems that I've built tend to cause the problems, for the most part, not to mention my own stupidity. If I do begin to experience, spy or adware-related issues, I suppose I could look into something like this:
https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole
Though if things got to the point where I'd need more protection, I'd think about the following:
-Keep system and software updated.
-Enable firewall (e.g., UFW).
-Use strong passwords and MFA.
-Install from trusted sources only.
-Encrypt disks (e.g., LUKS).
-Use SELinux or AppArmor.
-Sandbox apps with Flatpak/Wayland.
-Install antivirus like ClamAV.
-Disable unnecessary services.
-Monitor logs and use tools like OpenSnitch.
-Switch to CubesOS (qubes-os.org) but I'm not that paranoid, yet :)
I'm just not too tech savvy, but honestly if anyone had enough knowledge, they'd probably could get into my system. That being said, though I consider Linux to be more secure than Windows, no system is 100% secure, in my view.
That unfortunately is true, for the most part. Whether this is due to financial reasons or for lack of engineering best practices, I can't say. All I can say is that, switching to Linux has led to significantly less cost, technical or spyware issues, not counting the issues which I created out of ignorance.
Regardless of who's right or wrong, who's more corrupt or not, in this case, "The Needs of the Many Outweigh the Needs of the Few," because in the long run, the US population's health will be better off overall, as the industry shift from ultra processed foods and sugars outweighs saturated fat risks if guidelines are followed moderately.
If it's helpful to note, Twitter was always intended to become what it has become. We need to return to organizing our own networks free of this control.
Ah, but that's where our opinions differ. I'm a Twitter expatriate, cast out for daring to have a simple, different, honest opinion. Tried and tried, but the Twitter gods continue to ban me. If you look at my recent past comments, you'll note the negative Twitter influence that reaches, even here. Corruption is everywhere, in my view.
I tend to agree with most of what you said regarding all governments and countries. What may not be widely known is that some authoritarian regimes have been accused by expatriates of identifying and indoctrinating intellectually gifted children into their state-sponsored organizations for use by these entities for unmentionable purposes. Of course, it's next to impossible to find written documentation, with specific details since detailed evidence in such states are understandably hard to retrieve. Most of these accounts arrive through word of mouth.
>What may not be widely known is that some authoritarian regimes have been accused by expatriates of identifying and indoctrinating intellectually gifted children into their state-sponsored organizations
Literally every country does this. It's just perspective whether an individual thinks it's okay or not.
If you're on the side doing the indoctrination, you probably agree with it, or are indoctrinated yourself. We all are to some degree.
That is true. But I refer to those parents that sent their children to other countries because they knew the state or gov would not have allowed them to prevent the indoctrination of their children. But yes, we all are to some degree, unfortunately.
This is very informative. How are the vessels tracked? Is this real-time tracking of specifically equipped vessels. Can any other vessels be tracked or only those with traditional maritime transponders? If real-time, it'd be cool to have vessel/point data be displayed upon hovering over with a mouse.
Ships over a certain size are obligated to report their position (and some other information) over AIS (similar to ADSB on airplanes. It's meant for other nearby ships and ports for navigational purposes. These are tracked from shore based scanners, scanners on ships and satellites. You can see partly real-time data on marinetraffic.com and vesselfinder.com
I find that most negativity comes from the inexperienced, young, and one-track minds of individuals, which through no fault of their own, have only been exposed to one way of thinking, one way of looking at the world. Since they don't know any other way of doing things, they refuse to understand the knowledge or experience that is being shared and jump to conclusions. That is one way that regional conflicts thrive, after they arise. These conflicts usually arise from the self-interest of the older generations. Unfortunately, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It's no different whether on the physical or digital battlefield.
Something is terribly wrong with the patent system if anything about sticking the innards of a commercially-produced camera into a different-shaped metal case is patentable.
I'm sure a number of things are terribly wrong with the patent system. Amazon's one-click patent is another that comes to mind. Patents are for how, and the how there is "store the default payment and shipping info in a database".
I'm sure that some of these patents happen by slipping the examiner a few bands in the application paperwork. Afterwards it's on other people to defend themselves to the tune of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, and if they lose you can get an entire company and all of its IP, property, and money.
$5k under the table is a small price to pay for such potential payoff, not to mention the value of the chilling effect on competition.
It's unethical, seedy, shitty, banal, and pestilent, the kind of thing that only the most hellbound and soulless of sleazebags would ever even think of to do, but it's profitable.
How many patents do you have? Or are you just making assumptions and defaming people who could very well do an honest day's work? I assume the people at the US Patent Office go through thousands of patents, I would imagine it can get pretty exhausting reading each and every patent, especially after you ran through hundreds of unpatentable documents. You literally have to look up prior patents, and make sure its not already a thing, and figure out, is this really the same or not?
Funnily enough, one of my former bosses has one or two patents on something really simple that he came up with. It's a really clever piece of tech that the military uses, stupid simple to implement too.
There are design patents specifically for looks[1], in other countries such as the UK where I am from this is known as registering a design rather than using the word 'patent'[2].
