-= CAUTION, SPOILERS =- This got me on "cyanide blue", and I was ROLLING ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING on "Approaching usage limit". I can barely stop laughing now and my stomach hurts. I mean, Thank You!

Remember when everything was iSomething? The original iPod and iPhone created a real trend back then. Seems like many AI products ride the same wave now. Open WebUI, OpenHands, OpenUI. I am a bit more dubious about this affiliation, though.

I would be very interested in a similar benchmark for *KV cache* quantizations. I use Qwen3.8 27B Q4_K_M for coding sometimes and therefore need a relatively long context. I settled on q8_0 because it is the only way to fit the model + 100k

Which probably explains why it is a good idea to use distinct LLMs for generation and review. Like, generate code with Codex/Sol and review it with Claude/Opus for example.

I am using DNS filtering on mobile, and noticed a new trend on some websites that detect an ad blocker: they force a browser native alert message which effectively blocks the page, followed by a page reload when the alert is dismissed. Wond

If the new feature looks random and unexpected and causes users to go to Reddit -the developer is doing terribly bad UX, and equally bad marketing and customer support. A proper announcement done the day of the release, or an embedded notif

With so many AI product launches, I don't even understand anymore what's serious and what's a joke. Collectively many recent product launches look like we are building a big lab to study sociology using British humour, utteri

You do realize that there is a large spectrum of occupations between a self-employed software developer, and a "corporate NPC", don't you? And, do you really reject all counterarguments outright, like you heard all of them al

It is worth mentioning that there are other options like NextDNS and similar, which complement uBO(L) nicely.

Oh, thank you for telling me this. Trying it out now.

Oh, goody goody goody! Can't wait for a Q4M with *MTP* support. Does anyone know if there are plans for it? I am currently using Qwen 3.6 on RTX 3090 and I have to admit that without MTP it would be too slow to be acceptable for me (30

I am not sure I understand, how is this different from a devcontainer or other similar techniques? On another topic, can't help but notice that "leading coding agents" somehow does not include Pi.

Great article. Nice pragmatic and cool-head take on what is going on. Thank you for posting this. Side note: I so forgot about the "Don't make me think" book! Thanks for reminding this exists. I submit this should be part of

A good example of how a wrong assumption ruins something (in tech, products, and life in general). I love the feature idea, but the assumption that a sudden brisk run equals theft obviously ruined it. Well, easy for us to say in retrospect,

You seem to contradict yourself, or at least actually support the OP's point. If you don't define yourself with your job, but have other self-identities outside, there is nothing sad about having different takes to the amount of p

Oh wow, not so long ago the sentiment was exactly opposite. Python community was struggling with tools and everyone wished to have `gofmt` for Python. Granted, this is a linter, not a formatter, but my larger point is I am glad that Python

100% agree, I am upgrading my projects now. And yet, I have mixed feelings about this. I like to think that when I (was) writing code myself, I applied a great deal of intuition to decide when to skip or ignore some rule. On the hand, I als

I am pretty sure SpaceX already booked "Skynet" for the name of their next Grok model. It is fitting on so many levels.

That's a trick question. Should we include the tokens consumed by the organizers' AI to validate the submissions? AI-generated comments in the discussion thread?

I fear another related possibility. With *so* much money on the table, if this new industry shrinks or collapses, it is hard to believe that it will collapse same way dot-com did, and instead investors will seek to protect their capital who

You could say it works perfectly well, it is identifying indeed. Of Claude and of people who use Claude's raw output instead of expressing themselves.

Preach. I would love to see all email like this. I learnt this in my very first work place and will never get the trend of starting every email with "I hope you are doing well". I live and work in France, and oh boy... It's j
