You can "solve" this by throwing your PDF statements at llms and having them extract the transactions. Has privacy implications if you use hosted llms of course. As for self hosted accounting/budgeting software, IMO Beancount

This is partially a "how much does the model follow instructions" thing. I use Pi with a vibed LSP extension and Claude (4.6 or thereabouts) almost never followed instructions to use LSP renaming tools - despite it being strongly

Try vidir from moreutils (or its improved version, https://github.com/bulletmark/edir ). It opens the list of filenames in a given directory (or set of files passed on cmdline) in an editor of your choice, and then you

There was/is a patch available that lifted the unit limit significantly. I played with it constantly. Even played a match at a lan party with friends last year.

Well language detection isn't all that hard in the scheme of things (especially now), but maybe having only training on English makes models less effective programmers. It would be interesting to see that as an experiment.

An internet comment communicating the death of communication on the internet - how wonderfully paradoxical! (or if you tasked an AI to write that: how appropriate!)

This is also what I've done for my multiplayer falling sand game: it's very much not vibe coded (too performance-sensitive), but coding agents can launch the game on my steamdeck and run benchmarks, take captures & verify rend

2x2 pixel font is probably impossible[1], but with a few more pixels of width someone made a surprisingly readable 2-pixel-high font: https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/comments/1myh81x/2px_high_... Relea

Not the OP but here is a good example: https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-30-pi-coding-agent/ Initially I read it because just it was interesting but it has ended up being the harness I have stuck with - pi is

Noita uses herringbone wang tiles where each wang tile pixel is 16x16 simulated in-game CA pixels, with tiles selected from a per-biome pool and the ability for biome-specific scripts to override certain areas too. As part of expanding each

I haven't used opencode but pi agent runs rings around claude code. Never eats tons of CPU on big outputs, no flickering, open source, tree-based context instead of claude's linear context, easy to toggle collapsing/expanding

Well, sometimes your compiler will work out how to more efficiently compile a thing (e.g. vectorize a loop), and other times you'll rework some code to an equivalent formulation and suddenly it won't get vectorized because you&#x2

Not strictly true afaik? If you own the copyright to the entire codebase you can relicense at will to a different license. (that's what CLAs enable among other things) Not sure whether you'd still be entitled to the source code un

Presumably others will write the prompts (or equivalent directing mechanism) that will steer the generation, such that you can act out whatever fantasies interest you.

Likely a separate issue, but I also have massive slowdowns whenever the agent manages to read a particularly long line from a grep or similar (as in, multiple seconds before characters I type actually appear, and sometimes it's difficu

FYI the sandbox feature is not fully baked and does not seem to be high priority. For example, for the last 3 weeks using the sandbox on Linux will almost-always litter your repo root with a bunch of write-protected trash files[0] - there a

I think state of the art LLMs would pass the Turing test for 95% people if those people could (text) chat to them in a time before LLM chatbots became widespread. That is, the main thing that makes it possible to tell LLM bots apart from hu

Unity is Unreal Engine's biggest competitor by far. Godot competes with Unity (mostly for 2D games) but is at least a decade off being any threat to Unreal. So yes, funding Godot is A Nice Thing To Do but it also conveniently puts a bi

I can vouch for this "study plan". 4 years ago I tackled exactly those courses (raytracer[0] first, then CPU rasterizer[1]) to learn the basics. And then, yes, I picked up a lib that's a thin wrapper around OpenGL (macroquad)

If you are used to PRs taking days (or over a week!) to merge, then I've found it's way faster to get someone to sit down and walk them through the code - which is not miles different from what's being proposed here.

Stash was not an acquisition. Stash was built from the ground up inside Atlassian during its golden age, by a bunch of engineers who really cared about performance. Though it helped that they didn't have Jira's 'problem'
