There is still a "community" on platforms such as Mastodon, reddit, various repo's. But I don't think there is a single community that can be pointed to as "The Emacs community". This would also be "wrong&

I understand your point of view, but as far as the Emacs community is concerned there is no problem. Emacs is not an editor. Emacs is not an IDE. Emacs is a platform to develop your own tooling. Text is the main interface Emacs offers. I d

I generally try to avoid adding external links as I found that those resources tend to get lost very fast. Of course, this is not always feasible, but whenever I can try to copy over the contents into my notes.

This is great! We need more ASCII games/simulations and it's only a bonus if it's in Emacs :-)

I agree that there is a steep learning curve compared to Github pull requests or Gitlab merge requests, but like many things the steep learning curve actually hides a very powerful tool. A famous example is the Linux Kernel, a project of su

Personally I find the information density of text to be the "killer feature". I've tried voice interaction (even built some AI Voice Agents) and while they are very powerful, easy to use and just plain cool, they are also slo

Sure to protect your machine, but what about data security? Do I want to allow unknown code to be run on my private/corporate data? Sandbox all you want but sooner or later your data can be exfiltrated. My point is giving an LLM unres

Correct, I wouldn't use it myself as it's a trivial addition to your implementation. Personally I keep all my work in this space as provider agnostic as I can. When the bubble eventually pops there will be victims, and you don&#x2

I was referring to letting LLM's search github and run tools from there. That's like randomly searching the internet for code snippets and blindly running them on your production machine.

^ this. Careful design of what tools are passed when is key to good agent design.

Security nightmare inbound... The example given by Anthropic of tools filling valuable context space is a result of bad design. If you pass the tools below to your agent, you don't need "search tool" tool, you need good old f

The "Tool Search Tool" is like a clever addition that could easily be added yourself to other models / providers. I did something similar with a couple of agents I wrote. First LLM Call: only pass the "search tool"

Don't give anyone any ideas. We now have SEO, GEO, AEO and now TEO? :-p

And Emacs. Sure Elisp isn't the best lisp around (Personally I would give that title to Common Lisp), Emacs is a good Lisp environment.

Sending the whole context on each user message is essentially what the model remembers of this conversation. ie: it is entirely stateless. I've written some agents that have their context altered by another llm to get it back on track.

I didn't glace at it, I read it :-) The architecture is a 'unified memory bus', so yes the GPU has access to that memory. My comment was a bit unfortunate as it implied I didn't agree with yours, sorry for that. I simpl

Qwen has some really great models. I recently used qwen/qwen3-next-80b-a3b-thinking as a drop-in replacement for GPT-4.1-mini in an agent workflow. Cost 4 times less for input tokens and half for output, instant cost savings. As far a

You need memory on the GPU, not in the system itself (unless you have unified memory such as the M-architecture). So we're talking about cards like the H200 that have 141GB of memory and cost between 25 to 40k.

That's strange, I've never seen this behaviour. Loading a CSV this way (Data -> From Text/CSV) always parses the first record as the header for me.

by michaelanckaert 1y ago
I agree that the default way Excel handles CSV files is terrible. Using Power Query to manage them is the way to go. But it's the general Microsoft approach to backwards compatibility so very unlikely to change now.

I can't image what reviewing C code like that would look like? Rust is a complex piece of technology, is the transpiled C code 'clean' enough to be able to review it?

That's the best kind of start, you know it's a useful thing when you've build similar things before when freelancing. I'm currently building a similar service but for 'serverless functions' (hate that terminolo

Yeah tell me about it. At one point I was very tempted to just reach out to bash and running docker cli as a subprocess :/ Especially getting the output of a running container proved nontrivial at the time.
