Uhh, yes? Non-profits take donations to keep doing their work.

On Tahoe my Time Machine was broken after the update. My backup target is on a QNAP NAS. I just had to set it up from scratch again and it worked. But it did cost me a few files I was trying to recover. So I feel this.

The real answer here is that he is mad about people protesting what Israel is doing in Gaza. This $100M donation is being made with funds he had given to UPenn. He has taken it back, via lawyers, because they allowed the protests to go on. He is now just taking that original donation and moving it somewhere else. Not that I am against the Olympians getting paid, just some context.

The only thing I question is the use of Maverick in their comparison charts. That's like comparing a pile of rocks to an LLM.

Use a devcontainer. Claude Code's repo has one built specifically for it:

Following that story as it happened, it was all on the phone with the phone keyboard and he somehow made multiple good Neovim plugins including that very popular one (which I use in multiple configs).

Right, but Eva found an RCE and only got $5,000.

Thanks, and that sounds great. On the backend what are you using for the DAG stuff to make it durable? Temporal?

Development seems pretty rapid, how often are breaking changes forcing workflow modifications to keep updated with the latest versions?

It was given today's front page to riff on. Thats why it not only reads like a HN front page, but also has near duplicates from todays front page.

People still use WezTerm when we have Kitty and Ghostty? Can you explain why? I'm actually interested to know what would make someone make that choice.

Deepseek, Qwen, GLM (quite good). All being open and available for local use definitely puts them ahead in that space, which means a lot of the tinkerers and younger people learning to do things like train and fine-tune are getting good with Chinese models and I do think getting in early like that is a great way to gain mindshare in a space. Look at Apple or Microsoft doing everything they could early on to get their machines and software into schools as early as possible.

If you really need a lot of VRAM cheap rocm still supports the amd MI50 and you can get 32gb versions of the MI50 on alibaba/aliexpress for around $150-$250 each. A few people on r/localllama have shown setups with multiple MI50s running with 128gb of VRAM and doing a decent job with large models. Obviously it won't running as fast as any brand new GPUs because of memory bandwidth and a few other things, but more than fast enough to be usable.

This can end up getting you 128gb of VRAM for under $1000.

I use emotions-analyzer-bert for this classifying content in a similar way. It's very small and very fast, under a gig of vram in use.

I've used vivid nearly every day since the week the first m1 MacBook Pro came out, no damage to my screen at all.

Default Folder X is a huge improvement to Finder, specifically open and save windows. It's in SetApp too.

Multiple articles and interviews have said it was the Sicilian Mafia / La Cosa Nostra.

"The Five Families - the Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese and Lucchese - have ruled the city's Italian American mafia since 1931."

"The Five Families are part of the larger American-Sicilian mafia operation known as La Cosa Nostra"
