I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I'm too tired to care now.

  • Well it's also that apparently all spectators have to be evacuated from the grandstands in the US when there's lightning. No idea why that's a thing there and not anywhere else.

  • That was a race.

    I remember the good old days when it was enough to watch the start to know what the final results would be. I like these new regs.

  • Which open models are actually good at agentic coding?

    Jump

  • I run a quant of Qwen 35B A3B (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF:UD_Q4_K_XL) at the moment, using Opencode and llama.cpp. I'm getting useful work out of it - but it's of course not Claude. My hardware is a 5060Ti with 16GB VRAM and then ~20GB or so of system mem is getting used as well.

    It's important to put boundaries on less capable models though, so I have two plugins in Opencode as well that really makes a big difference to the results: @tarquinen/opencode-dcp@latest and superpowers@git+https://github.com/obra/superpowers.git.

    I want to work in small steps with good control over what the models do so it's not very similar to what you describe with just having them run away for half an hour and do everything.

  • does anyone have exercises to learn how to program?

    Jump

  • Best I can do is just point to source code written by an old colleague and friend of mine from back in the day: https://sourceforge.net/p/qbubblemp/code/HEAD/tree/

    I wrote system apps and UI frameworks and it's 25 years ago so I don't want to pretend to remember too much :D

  • ex-Symbian employee/developer here:

    Symbian/Epoc C++ is vastly different from modern C++. Enjoy yourself, as long as you are ok with learning a "dead" eco system where a lot of the things you learn aren't useful on other more modern platforms.

    What are some of the interesting ways you use your AI interface?

    Jump

  • I have since many years back documented most tasks in a digital note taker app. Over the years I've transferred them between systems, right now they're in Nextcloud.

    I also have configured a local AI on the server and since Nextcloud has built in support for using local AI it has now indexed all my notes so I can pose queries to a local AI that has all that info I've ever written down backing it.

    "When is it time to re-apply for the garage building permit" and "Which one of our kids was the tallest at birth" are examples of questions I can now do.

  • Centralized profit seeking service: We platform the trolls because "user number go up!"

    Decentralized community-run services: We throw out the bad actors since users cost money to host.

    I like one of them better than the other.

  • I have no idea why people claim that the open source template meant for others to build solutions on was some sort of finished and published app.

  • AI vs LLMs: The Misnomer That's Costing Us

    Jump

  • Douglas Hofstadter's "I am a strange loop" is great reading on the subject, as well as Susan Blackmore's "Consciousness: An Introduction".

    You have to start from physics & chemistry - our neurons aren't doing "art & nuance". They're just mapping inputs to outputs.

  • It's Pattern Matching — Not Understanding

    ... anyone who falls into this trap is welcome to study the very latest we know about human consciousness.

    The awakening is brutal. There's not a single thing in science pointing to us being anything more than pattern matching machines ourselves ...
