I'm working on ServBay, a local development environment I built to end the constant pain of juggling different versions of program languages like Python, PHP, Node.js, Golang, Rust and so on, databases, and local SSL certificates.
It's an all-in-one toolkit with one-click version switching, automatic HTTPS for local domains, and an integrated mail catcher.
I've just rolled out some major updates:
1. Local AI Deployment: Now can run models like Llama 3 & Code Llama directly within ServBay.
2. Built-in Tunneling: Share the local sites with anyone on the internet, ngrok-style or frp or Cloudflare.
3. Windows is Live! The new Windows version is out and quickly reaching feature parity with our macOS app.
Next up is ServBay 2.0. I'm currently gathering feedback on features like deeper Docker integration and more flexible site configurations. I'd love to hear what the HN community thinks is important.
Recently, Google released Gemini CLI, an open-source command-line AI development tool.
Let's dive into what Gemini CLI is and how to install it. Stick around to the end!
What is Gemini CLI?
Simply put, Gemini CLI brings Gemini 1.5 Pro directly into your terminal. And here's the bigger surprise: free users get 1,000 requests per day and 60 requests per minute!
For developers, isn't this like hitting the jackpot?
Let's be real, other AI coding tools on the market are either heavily restricted or expensive. With this move, Google has just blown the competition out of the water.
According to the official documentation, Gemini CLI's power comes from its built-in tools, allowing you to:
- Ground prompts with Google Search to fetch web pages and provide the model with real-time, external context.
- Extend Gemini CLI's capabilities through built-in support for the Model-in-Context Protocol (MCP) or bundled extensions.
- Customize prompts and instructions to tailor Gemini to your specific needs and workflow.
- Automate tasks and integrate with existing workflows by calling Gemini CLI non-interactively in scripts.
What's more, Gemini CLI can be used for a variety of tasks, including creating short videos with Veo and Imagen.
Most importantly, it boasts a 1 million token context window. This means developers can feed their entire project's codebase into it, allowing the AI to understand the complete code structure.
Gemini CLI is fully open-source under the Apache 2.0 license. This means developers can inspect the source code to see how it works, contribute code, and participate in improving the project (and maybe even brag about contributing to a Google project someday).
However, true to Google's usual playbook, they often launch new products with incredibly attractive free tiers that may be adjusted later. In other words, you'll want to jump on this offer while it's hot. The early bird gets the worm, after all.
Our intention was to simplify the environment deployment process, aiming to eliminate the need for users to input any commands. This is especially true for beginners, as graphical interfaces are much easier to understand than command-line instructions. Thanks for your feedback.
PHP 8.4 marks a significant update to the PHP language. It introduces a variety of new features, such as property hooks, asymmetric visibility, an updated DOM API, performance enhancements, bug fixes, and general cleanups.
Let’s take a look at the updates in PHP 8.4 compared to previous versions.
AI has the potential to revolutionize work in many positive ways, but realizing this potential requires careful consideration of the challenges and a concerted effort to mitigate negative impacts.
I don't like mandatory reading. Reading should be a joyous activity, where I choose the books I like to read, not something where others tell me what I should read.
