You must be thinking about a different software.

Blender is actually much, much older than Thunderbird.
I try not to be negative, but this software seems bizarre. It's a Lua meta manager written in Zig, that calls itself cross platform (Linux / MacOS only), and depends on external gnu build tools, not even the native Zig portable retargeting llvm.
LLMs are usually too busy agreeing to push back on the ideas & details like this.
I still have no clue what you're implying that I was implying? Reading too much into someone's words is definitely a thing.
There used to be 4+ major browser engines. Now there's only two, and Google owns almost complete share & following standards? Google prefers their monoculture.
More diversity in browser engines was a good thing & standards were lovely.
Not everything has to be a slug-fest between #1 & #2.
& personally I'm glad there's Grok & Gemini to keep Anthropic & OpenAI on their toes even more than the competitive band of open weights models already do.
The corporate models tend to be defensive and sound like HR has approved every word of the script. Not a fan.
Because llms reflect qwen 2.5 heavily in training data, and that's who is giving the recommendations.
Personally been experimenting in Lean 4. LLMs understand it, can be given simple rules to improve it. Typing is strong, proofs are solid, and it compiles quickly.
On the contrary, for a small rust project, I had to clean out 180gb of cargo nonsense from the last ~3 days worth of compiles on a single, narrowly focused topic branch.
The library situation might be funky, but I'm also learning Lean 4 by hand. The tooling & lsp integration is lovely.
You could be typing the same about Google or a number of the other labs right now.
A diverse market full of choices keeps it from becoming the browser wars all over again.
For a around two years there, the dynalink dl-wrx36 was selling between $50 & $85 for comparable/better hardware. Still running a pair with an nss-enabled fork. Still effortlessly maxes out a gigabit fiber line with qosify.
Configured it so the 2.5gbe port connects towards the lan where a cheap wifi 7 AP can broadcast the additional signal if anything feel like it needs it. But practically speaking nothing does.
While the openwrt one was a decent experiment, it was far from the only hardware in the price range that had stellar openwrt support before/after it came out. And one thing people seem to forget about with a lot of options (like banana pi options) is that the range & falloff can be terrible. The openwrt two is apparently delayed & going with a different manufacturer.
Openwrt is great if you are willing to customize the software especially. The fact that it can be used as an actual wifi client in a pinch is also a lifesaver.
Long-long term availability is a different problem, but different manufacturers move on.
Both of the mentioned models are model orchestrators using a vastly different multi model paradigm.
Saying they in particularare distilled from Anthropic is really [citation needed].
It always feels a bit vexing when people complain about skills: Personally, we treat them as if manuals where the goal is to patch knowledge, not (typically) be a from-scratch primer.
Letting an instruction following llm deep research and iterate has given fantastic results before.
Being able to construct non-trivial Zig 0.16 programs without slowing down for version-hallucinating compilation errors is nice as a random example.
This works with touch control on mobile. Pretty amusing.
It's simple enough to make a plugin to override the system prompts & make it flexible per agent.
Have to watch out for other plugins trying to do the same, though.
Note as of yesterday, they retired the lite coding plan you're talking about. New buy-in is $50/month for the pro plan unless you were already on the lite plan.
I feel like I have to mention "The Sky So Big and Black" by John Barnes. IMO, rather underrated. Hadn't really read any good Mars-based science fiction before.
Aside from the AI bits, "interesting" choice to use metal on MacOS, opengl on Linux, and skip Windows entirely.
Haven't dived deep into it yet, but dabbled in similar areas last year (trying to get various bits to reliably "run" in-context).
My immediate thought was to want to apply it to the problem I've been having lately: could it be adapted to soothe the nightmare of bloated llm code environments where the model functionally forgets how to code/follow project guidelines & just wants to complete everything with insecure tutorial style pattern matching?
THC comes in a plant in the THCa form. CBD comes in CBDa form.
Both are not bioactive by default in their natural form.
Like many chat-style interfaces, it's typically shift-enter to insert a newline.
There's a difference between "can't see 'special' folders" & "can't access anything but the app-specific storage". iOS loves the latter, while Android lets you organize files mostly normally even if doing highly stupid/discouraging things for power users & some app developers making questionable non-default choices.
Reductive and inaccurate.
I've seen this on occasion before, but the offering seems vague and confusing to me.
But asking to see if clarification is available:
* No API access at all. Is that correct?
* Usage limits aren't at all clearly defined, but their presence is suggested. Message per day/month, tokens per whatever limits? * Content policy restrictions? They mention major models/providers. * An actual list of models available? GPT, etc, are cool if that's all you need, but what about major/popular open source models? * Encrypted/protected user content is mentioned, but do you allow verification by users that this is the case for compliance reasons? (This makes me think of providers that let you verify the nature of the secure computation yourself.)
This looks neat in theory, but there's nothing that goes into the exact technical nature of the offering. You may consider these suggestions for what might assist discerning technical users to have enough information about the service vs competitors that disclose all relevant information about the service up-front.
Because the aliens are already here, just like the echidna...
As an anecdote, there may be one or two packages in openwrt that won't build by default because of a strange interaction between certain glibc headers and the behavior of _FORTIFY_SOURCE on some embedded platforms, but only on some versions of gcc.
Werror tends to be placed eagerly pass the buck along to anyone building it, not just CI or developers. I used to feel that Werror was a good thing, but nowadays anything with CI on merge requests will tell me about any warnings, and someone wanting to build the software shouldn't get penalized for having a different build environment: there's a reason they aren't thrown as errors to begin with. Does this make sense?
IPv6 migration.
Every human has their own hierarchies. Hierarchies of need, of goals and of peers (this is basically each individual's social hierarchy). But when these people form large groups they are somehow able to blank the slate and not make it hierarchical?
I'm probably being silly in doing so, but just pointing out that neurodiversity is a thing, and I don't know if you've noticed, but rarely do people simply do what they're told.

For Linux users,
I like this view: you take care of a lot of the conventional concern we while also some futuristic ones like Pre-Crime in Minority Report.
I have a USB mouse with 12 side buttons, and it "just works" because USB HID.
The very thing you're linking to is because of running conflicting software on MacOS.
