I made https://froogle.fyi out of a desire to get that old school search back. Source: https://github.com/scosman/froogle It hasn’t replaced Kagi as my daily driver but the UX is fun.

why is it jumping through hoops to get online if it's already online?

Ah yes. Using that OTA update it got via AM radio.

Reminder: you can connect it to your network, but block it from the internet at the router. That way you can still use Airplay/Chromecast. I have an LG. Great OLED panel. It's never seen the internet.

Proxmox + community-scripts.org is pretty great.

I wanted to say "You actually can't fly a helicopter to the top of Everest, the air is too thin", but apparently it's been done exactly twice. Stripped down specially chopper and ideal weather conditions.

The year is 2031, the Meta LlamaBrush won't start until it's played a 30s unskipable ad for Doritos spearmint.

They were investing in ANE and Metal before everyone in consumer. Hardly asleep. They just underestimated the market size, as pretty much everyone did.

Right now sweet spot is voice transcription. Meeting recording apps are genuinely better locally than in cloud. Can run on an M1 easily. Latency matters. I built https://github.com/scosman/Biscotti and see zero reason

z.ai is using all Chinese hardware for flash: https://thenewstack.io/glm-5-3-flash-chinese-chips/ There are other providers with much faster inference, like BaseTen at >100t/s: https://openrouter.ai&

You can't compare models released 6+ months apart. GLM 5.2 was same architecture as 5.3 and not nearly as good. Takes time to build frontier intelligence and distill down to smaller sizes.

It's actually slightly more expensive ($0.50 vs $0.48), but there's a temporary 50% discount. I've seen dozens of conversations about it in last 24 hours, and every major inference provided added in first 24 hours. I think it

z.ai coder plan, both in opencode and direct API access. I use it for my side projects like https://github.com/scosman/Biscotti (on-device meeting transcription and summaries).

I've been using it more and more. Feels like Opus 4.8, in the best possible way.

I just shipped this free app: https://github.com/scosman/Biscotti Private offline transcription and summary. Speaker identification, working on voice-prints for identification across the corpus.

A new case where the "free as in speech, not free as in beer" clarification helps.

yeah, it's X that has ads. Which is why they wouldn't be as receptive as HN.

It's fast by computer standards and excellent for entry level chip. The Pro/Max/Ultra chips are always faster. Compared to something like VRAM it's slow.

Note this is from tobi, Shopify CEO Amazing he still codes. But likely more experiment than prod level.

it will still be on "private.icloud.com". Just as filterable...

ah, that makes it feasible! Okay, glad it's not technical limit. They should fix the pricing...

And GLM is only 0.7T! But these labs distill off the larger models. Both officially at the labs with the big ones, and unofficially. We need the giant models to get the smaller models.

I don’t think they will until they change the architecture. They don’t have a prefix cache like other providers, or at least don’t have a discount in their billing structure. Each message charges for the whole context window. It’s wildly mo

And reminder: it's less than a quarter the size of Kimi K3!
