- Telegram has exemplary fast, native clients on most platforms I’ve used it on

- Cat stickers

- Did I mention it has the best native clients out of all the messaging apps? It boggles the mind why other companies can’t get this done.

You can't trust any of the big AI labs as far as you can throw them, and most definitely not Anthropic. They may have a good model, but they've shown time and time again that they're not trustworthy. The CEO has recently started taking a stance against local AI. That must tell you something: local AI is the future. If you want to preserve privacy and be ready for the rug pull, you need to run things locally. Unfortunately, that means that you're going to need Google or the Chinese labs to constantly release open models.

If anything, I'll trust Google more than any of the other labs just because the infrastructure that stores and protects user data was built over decades ago pre-AI craze.

The first is to self host. You buy the machine, run open source models locally, and pay nothing per token after that.

Power is not free.

What I’ve found is that you’re basically paying a premium for privacy, and that’s worth it for me.

San Francisco public transportation is neither reliable or safe enough for my family. The only thing that’s remotely decent is Caltrain, but that has the last mile problem.

Yeah idk about all the typst HN shilling. Latex works great and is as free as it can get.

This is the same on anything with DRM. You can watch content without DRM and you’ll be limited to 720p but you can take screenshots.

I don’t like it either but it has nothing to do with Apple.

You can use the GHC musl container: benz0li/ghc-musl:9.8.4 to create static binaries. I've specialized that into -arm64 and -amd64 containers for forgejo actions.

Anytime I push to my Haskell repos my actions automatically create static binaries for installation on my nodes.

As an intermediate Haskell programmer, I’ve found that using AI to debug or learn Haskell is a better use of time than generating a lot of code with it.

Even without AI most of my Haskell time is spent thinking.

Also, I hand writing Haskell is one of my small after work pleasures.
