I'm also of this opinion, but also that it doesn't have to be Apple (but they are well positioned). What I've seen with running local models on my 48GB M4 MBP is really impressive - it's not the same level as hosted stuff, but it's better than what I was using a year or two ago.

What about all those fishing boats the US has been blowing up?

What difference does that make? A blockade is a blockade, and oil is fungible, so it doesn't matter whose flag it is. Run a blockade, get blown up. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Remember, the US blew up an UNARMED Iranian ship after what was basically a parade at sea in the Indian Ocean. The US started this, and keeps it going.

Running a blockade is a risky proposition; it's not something that happens by accident.

A lot of these "neutral" countries either host US military bases, US companies, or are otherwise aligned generally with the US.

If that's the goal then the US and Israel are doing their best to stop it from happening. Iran is responding to provocations. Stop provoking them, no more blown up ships.

A minute or two a DAY??? I get pissed off that the microwave in my kitchen loses a minute a week!

You'd know the bad guys are Eastasia. Or is it Eurasia?

On the Home Assistant and Jellyfin reddits you'll see tons of vibecoded dashboards and plugins people are putting together - and those are just the ones people are sharing.

I personally have been building a bunch of little personal apps for my home that aren't worth the effort of sharing - like a customized dashboard of the Trimet buses closest to my house. The cost to build the initial good-enough version was literally 5 minutes plus another 10 to test and deploy.

I'm using pi-coder with just the free-tier models I can get on openrouter / opencode / kilocode. When I run out of quota on one model I often switch to another model in the same session, and it generally works just fine.

As long as LLMs don't understand the different between regurgitating facts and making up stories, they're going to necessarily be limited.

Phenylephrine only works as a nasal spray. It doesn't do anything when taken orally, because it is broken down in the digestive tract.

It's the same people who just googled a couple keywords and used that as a citation without reading the link, pre-AI.

So in essence, if you EVER think you might need to disassemble something, you shouldn't use Philips.

Belt and suspenders. What if you make a manual code edit? What if your harness hook malfunctions?

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how GUIs must necessarily work. There should be no possibility of race conditions if you understand the threading model.

The visual representation updating (greying out button) is a result of disabling the button, not the same thing. In virtually every GUI toolkit I've ever used there is the concept of the main UI thread, and everything that happens (input and display updates) necessarily has to go through that single thread in order to ensure correctness. (This applies to browsers, too.) That's why input goes into a queue, so you can easily do things like:

(All on the main UI thread):

  - Receive click event 1: disable button, start background process. Possibly redraw button UI *but it doesn't matter because the UI display is not the state, it's just a view*.

  - Receive click event 2: nothing happens, button is disabled

  - Background process finishes, posts update to re-enable the button

  - Receive click event 3: disable button, start background process, etc.
