Love this blog, appreciate the author. > This is probably the most difficult part. I had to remove all social media and streaming apps from my iPhone. I removed Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, etc. When I started, I found myself picking up

I understand what it is. I'm just wondering why. The code is also not immediately available, which makes claims towards any chain of trust somewhat dubious. And I'm not sure what purist really means in this context, and how a roll

Something missing is you can absolutely host your own private instance. The trigger happens when someone interacts with your code over a network, such as in the context of a SaaS product. The line is when you try to profit off of someone el

The product is the stock. It is very valuable when you have various bundles of services, such as satellites, AI, and so on, to keep pace with the majors so that you keep pace with their valuation. These stacking valuations are not additive,

Backend under AGPL prevents someone hosting it as a service. AGPL specifies that hosting _is_ distribution. Therefore, anyone hosting it must do so with public code. This provides a soft form of exclusivity to run their own Cloud. A fronten

I'm a Canadian/German dual; a praire, hockey-playing, hard-O Canadian at that. There is nothing German about me, apart from some family myths. Every 8 or 9 years my passport renewal at the German embassy plays out like that scene

Thanks brother :) - this meat suit is a rental anyways.

There's more going on here than just the substance's effect. There's a mind body connection that an altered state can throw into disarray. Under the influence of cannabis, one may be a lot more aware of physical pain, dehydra

That's interesting and probably an argument for pro-legalization. Were I to pick a gateway drug into cocaine, it would be alcohol. It becomes a way to infuse more energy in a later night, which is usually one of alcoholic revelry. When

Right, the rationale for why saunas and heat stress is good for you is specifically because it raises the heart rate.

There's a saying: don't throw stones if you live in a glass house. The same human mind that rationalizes the intake of substances is the same one that rationalizes social networks, junk food, eating meat, whatever it is. I wouldn&

In social systems or spiritual systems where cannabis is used, this is often called "going clear". We (general West) have no overarching myth or support system to help people navigate this type of pure madness. We have a psycholog

I'm not so sure. There's always been a pragmatic center on cannabis, especially if you're somewhere where it's legalized. In Canada, we have legal cannabis. https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada&#x2

I have this same challenge! Also, moved all of my lovely oxygenating plants like lillies out of the room because they are toxic to kitty.

Yep - `gemma4-26b-a4b-it-qat.gguf` https://huggingface.co/lmstudio-community/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it... It is really great to use. As the poster above mentioned, my setup with Sear is the following, all through `llama.cpp`,

That's fun! 90, generational talent - if only! Hah.

Interesting to see this and SearXNG on the front page at the same time. The latter replaced the former for me, and I've enjoyed primarily searching through a local model.

This appears to be a key tool for providing search to local models. I'm curious what setups folks use to provide this functionality. Since the quantized 24B parameter Gemma model came out, I've had good luck with tool calling on a

Kicked dairy about a decade ago. I'm grateful for oat milk. Also, one of the very, very many examples of strong, necessary, and useful collaboration between Canada and the United States. Happy Fourth of July, neighbours down south. I&#

Yes, crucial omission - and that was 1996!

by goodroot 3mo ago
Agreed. It's a fair point, but there's definitely more to the history. Ten years earlier, let's look at 1997: - Final Fantasy VII - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night - GoldenEye 007 - Banjo-Kazooie - Fallout - Age of Empires

Love the post. It brought me back. The layer of builders and hackers is still there. But now the vast majority of people have their own hyper lanes on the Worldwide Information Superhighway. And geez, isn't that a noisy highway? We&#x2

Not quite donate tokens directly (technically and practically weird), but donation -> compute has been out for a couple months on opub.dev (disclaimer, built it). So his prediction was somewhat correct if not late!

Trying to get https://opub.dev off the ground to solve this in a more open way. If you have more than 100 stars, you can get $50 in starter credit. Ideally organizations, more so than people, provide the bulk of future donations

Yikes. Good thing you didn't wind up there. The furthest I've gone in these jazz style culture interviews is asking people what they do outside of work for fun. This was for fully remote async positions. And it was important to kn
