Why conscious thought as described in the article was thought to be signs of a delirious person was because that’s where you could find it in real life, is my guess. If someone blabbing about without a listener, they’re insane. So to describe someone’s inner thought would render them insane to the reader. But with psychology came greater understanding and value of the inner thoughts and now a character no longer was deemed insane by having innate thoughts.

Finally an alternative to the big dogs that a company can use. People have been asking for a way to run the Chinese models from a trusted provider. Here GitHub delivered!

The performance, if we trust the benchmarks, put it at Sonnet 4.6.

Let’s see if it’s worth it with GitHubs pricing.

The Vibe CLI is really bad on Windows, sure they don’t officially support it, so can’t blame them, but a FYI for anyone wanting to try it. It can’t get find and replace right.

I have good experience with Mistral Vibe.

I just listened to the Matrix OST and that one really gets me into a coding mood!

Oh man, this was the release I wanted to link, as it has a new feature (tiled follow link) that I actually started using right away. A new browser feature I find useful didn’t happen that often for me, so I got excited.

Be kind to others, but start with being kind to yourself.

Isn’t llama.cpp’s implementation of Qwen 3.5 better, or am I misinformed?

What helped me get a better understanding of oauth and oidc, was this YouTube video [0].

Same setup I’m using! Parakeet and pocket turbo. It’s feels good enough for daily usage.

Have you tired using the run action instead to clean the data? Win+r

I have this nagging feeling I’m more and more skimming text, not just what the LLMs output, but all type of texts. I’m afraid people will get too lazy to read, when the LLM is almost always right. Maybe it’s a silly thought. I hope!

One of the more annoying software that does this is the copilot Office 365 on the web. Every time (!) I open it, it shows a popup on how to add files to the context. That itself would be annoying, but it also steals focus! So you would be typing something and suddenly you’re not typing anymore for M$ decided it’s time for a popup. I finally learned to just wait for the pop up and then dismiss it with esc. Ugh!

I built this recently. I used nvidia parakeet as STT, open wake word as the wake word detection, mistral ministral 14b as LLM and pocket tts for tts. Fits snugly in my 16 gb VRAM. Pocket is small and fast and has good enough voice cloning. I first used the chatterbox turbo model, which perform better and even supported some simple paralinguistic word like (chuckle) that made it more fun, but it was just a bit too big for my rig.

It’s uncanny good. I prefer it to pocket, but then again pocket is much smaller and for realtime streaming.

Gave it four of my vibe questions around general knowledge and it didn’t do great. Maybe expected with a model as small as this one. Once support in llama.cpp is out I will take it for a spin.

I’ve tried the voice clinking and it works great. I added a 9s clip and it captured the speaker pretty well.

But don’t do the fake mistake I did and use a hf token that doesn’t have access to read from repos! The error message said that I had to request access to the repo, but I’ve had already done that, so I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Turns out my HF token only had access to inference.

I’ve recently bought the LG with 4th generation OLED, and for me that works for long coding sessions (I use it for work). They shifted or did something with the pixel arrangement for this generation just for text legibility.

Interesting experiment. I would hazard to guess that Google is on top when it comes to these sorts of things (spatial ability), then OpenAI and last Anthropic. I would like to see the same experiment using Google’s Live view or whatever it’s called in their Gemini App.

The new LG panels are bright enough. I think they’re called 4th generation WOLED.

This is big. The first really big open weights model that understands images.

I bet it’s DNS.

Yup! I follow these and I also take walks, those can be helpful to relax and let the mind rest for a bit.

Nice idea, I’ve been toying around the idea of consuming news only once per day. But for me I think I want an actual newspaper with in depth articles rather than short news posts from online news.

The bit about the dog was a good memento mori. You work hard almost your entire life… and then your body gets tossed over the wall.

What genre do you like? I have one but it’s pop. https://suno.com/s/rAz8rUfVst4pw1S5

Suno does have the cover feature, where you can upload your own playing, say playing a simple melody on a guitar, and it will take that and create a song from it, together with lyrics you wrote. So it can be fairly fulfilling. What it doesn’t allow you is full control of the composition. But that’s AI.

V5 could be built different, and it will take a few revisions until they match v4 “creativity” for lack of a better word. What v5 brings is quality in the recording. Less AI shimmering in the background. But yes, I agree the songs are more… flat.

Well, you need a spouse.
