this looks cool for game development, because using Git for projects in Unity and Unreal Engine definitely has it's issues. I'm personally not a fan of Git LFS, especially since GitHub charges you to use it (which makes sense, bin

Exactly this, and this tool called qmd is what I use for the hybrid search portion. It also uses local LLMs to provide summaries on your own markdown data too. My agents use both depending on what type of search they are doing, and both pro

So Opus 4.7 is measurably worse at long-context retrieval compared to Opus 4.6. Opus 4.6 scores 91.9% and Opus 4.7 scores 59.2%. At least they're transparent about the model degradation. They traded long-context retrieval for better so

Did you also try Forgejo? If so, what are the differences between the two? I didn't even know GitLab had a self-hosted option. I assume it's probably better for Enterprise-grade projects, and dealing with CI/CD, actions, etc.

I have enjoyed using Forgejo over GitHub for local work. The features that GitHub has that plain Git does not includes a nice web renderer of markdown and code, issues and pull requests with comments, and project kanban boards. It's ni

Coqui TTS is actually deprecated, the company shut down. I have a voice assistant that is using gpt-5.4 and opus 4.6 using the subsidized plans from Codex and Claude Code, and it uses STT and TTS from mlx-audio for those portions to be loca

If you want your comments to sound more human — stop using em dashes everywhere. LLMs love them — along with neat structure, “furthermore”-style transitions, and perfectly balanced paragraphs. Humans write a bit messier — commas, short sent

The RTX 5090 only has 32gb of VRAM. So the tradeoff is NVIDIA is for blazing speed in a tiny memory pool, but Apple Silicon has a larger memory pool at moderate speed.

I'm running a local voice agent on a Mac Mini M4. Qwen ASR for STT and Qwen TTS on Apple Silicon via MLX, Claude for the LLM. No API costs besides the Claude subscription but the interesting part is the LLM is agentic because it's

Do you think it would be possible in the future to maybe add developer settings to enable or disable certain features, or to switch to other sandboxing methods that are more lightweight like Apple seatbelt for example?

OpenAI Codex CLI was able to use it effectively, so at least AI knows how to use it. Still, its deprecated and not maintained, Apple needs to make something new soon.

Yup it uses Apple Virtualization framework for virtualization. It makes it so I can't use the Claude Cowork within my VMs and that's when I found out it was running a VM, because it caused a nested VM error. All it does is limit f

I've been running something similar for a few months, which is a voice-first interface for Claude Code running on a local Flask server. Instead of texting from my phone, I just talk to it. It spawns agents in tmux sessions, manages con

Is this the same continue that was for running local AI coding agents? Interesting rebrand.

The friction didn't disappear with AI tools. It just shifted. It's now more so about knowing when to trust an AI system versus when to dig into things yourself. The key insight is this: don't devalue learning things on your o

If you give an LLM enough context, it writes in your voice. But it requires using an intelligent model, and very thoughtful context development. Most people don't do this because it requires effort, and one could argue maybe even more

Heads up: Whisper support depends on how your FFmpeg was built. Some packages will not include it yet. Check with `ffmpeg -buildconf` or `ffmpeg -filters | grep whisper`. If you compile yourself, remember to pass `--enable-whisper` and give

I’m fascinated by this new paradigm. We’ve more or less perfected Mixture-of-Experts inside a single model, where routing happens between subnetworks. What GPT-5 auto (and this paper) are doing is a step further: “LLM routing” across multip

As of now it's not integrated into Claude Code. "We’re also exploring how to bring long context to other Claude products". I'm sure they already know about this issue and are trying to think of solutions before letting u

OpenAI definitely tarnished the name of GPT-5 by allowing these issues to occur. It's clearly a smaller model optimized for cost and speed. Compare it to GPT-4.5 which didn't have these errors but was "too expensive for them&

Bubble Tea has always been an amazing TUI. I find React TUI (which is what Claude Code uses) to be buggy and always have to work against it.

LM Studio is probably better in this regard. I was able to get LM studio to work with Cursor, a product known to specifically avoid giving support to local models. The only requirement is if it uses servers as a middle-man, which is what Cu

I'm guessing less than 5% of the users are just letting Claude Code run in an autonomous loop making slop. I tried this too: and Opus 4 isn't good enough to run autonomously yet. The Rube Goldberg machine needs to be carefully cal

This is why I still use VS Code with AI features off and none of the AI integrated IDEs. It's not that I don't use AI. It's just that having the AI de-coupled from editor makes it much easier to separate concerns. Some days I

The free tier of Oracle Cloud is plenty enough here to spin up a VM that can run indefinitely. It also has pretty good specs too.

AI-based chromium forks are becoming as common as AI-based visual studio code forks. I wouldn't be surprised if AI-based Linux distros started becoming popular too. Seems the ideal workflow is to fork off of existing open-source soluti

I always have issues with TTS models that do not allow you to send large chunks of text. Seems this one does not resolve this either. Always has a limit of like 2-3 sentences.
