You know your phone is OLED right? I'm assuming you left a still image on without the inbuilt screen refresher enabled or something? I remember seeing that way back in the early OLED days but not on good TVs in the last 8~ years.

Really? I've had many updates over the 7 years since my c9 was released, still getting them as recent as earlier this year I think.

7 years into my C9 and it never fails to impress.

If you care about home cinema it's important. There's a pretty big jump down. You can look up the specs and reviews of the C and G series from LG. Anecdotally quite a few times when people see my 7 year old LG C9 I've had them ask if it was some new expensive TV as they are so impressed with the picture.

I suspect the entire 3.x family is fundamentally problematic and we'll need to see an architecture change before they're half decent like back in the 2.5 days again.

I'm aware of that setting, but this is the Samsung baseline. The panels they export for OEMs / other manufacturers don't seem to have the same hyper saturation. Even just standing next to someone using a Samsung phone or tablet you can often spot it straight away we know you what to look for.

Their panels are often over-saturated with that fake HDR like look, similar to their phones.

Unfortunately they make arguably the best OLEDs and webOS is pretty decent to use (especially compared to the terrible OS that Samsung and Sony run). I think the best thing people can do is update their firmware then disconnect it from the internet. Using an AppleTV or similar provides a better experience than any TVs built in apps anyway.

I haven't used Codex in some time, but in Claude Code I force my context size down to 280k on purpose as in my experience your best work is done within the 30-250k~ range regardless of a models maximum context size.

It's 2.8T, I'm sure they will open the weights but it will only be able to be run on very high end machines.

And American providers, not sure if it's still the case but OpenAI were doing this.

Soulseek is still going hard.

I suspect there's some cargo culting, and some folks that are generally more likely to table flip than understand things that challenge their workflow.

Yes their docs cover how to properly prompt it to ensure you don't get hit by the classifier, you can distil those down to a skill to help build prompts for the more challenging situations, e.g. https://github.com/sammcj/agentic-coding/blob/main/Skills/pr...

I've been working with it heavily since its first release. I use it for software architects, complex debugging and some development and I have not had it refuse or downgrade even once.

Yeah the 256GB/s bandwidth is really very limiting

ultracode in Claude Code kicks off a dynamic workflow.

This looks very much like many slopped up UIs I've seen over the past few years. Not saying the code is, but the design itself looks vibe coded?

Weird they talk about their 31B dense model but haven't actually released it anywhere.

But does anyone actually need a Windows?

They canned the moved to make -p commands API billable.

Material design looks pretty dated these days. I'm wondering why people would still be using it? Is it just a taste thing or something people have been working with for a long time?

Qwen as well.

Looks decent but $250 AUD for a font? Even for local and personal use? That's... a lot. I was thinking if it is paid and it was around $25 I'd consider it, then I saw the price!

3.5's 122-A10B is still great!

35b-a3b is only 3b active parameters, it's a MoE.

Handy, Cotypist, Markedit, Ghostty Tip, BetterTouchTool, GoodLinks, Pixelmator Pro, Handbrake, Zed, Onyx, LittleSnitch (or LuLu), Chezmoi, Stats, Shottr, llama.cpp, oMLX, LM Studio, Parcel, Things, OrbStack, Msty Studio.

Try 27b, it's significantly smarter than 35b-a3b (although it is slower, it's not so bad with MTP).

It's sort of a form of corrective antithesis (or "negation-antithesis") I think. A bit like "it's not x, it's why". Really grinds my gears.

Yikes twice the price of a PS5 in Australia! I will still be buying one though. I'm looking forward to moving away from Sony after having a PlayStation in my living room for 16+ years. I really like Steam's ethics / how they treat their customers - and the steam deck (while under powered) has been fantastic.
