I hope this is successful, like it or not this might be one of the best ways that Linux can reduce the Microsoft Windows monopoly. I would actually go as far as to say that it has to succeed.

Last time I read about them (here in HN) somebody highlighted that the problem wasn’t to get them to function at a high refresh rate, the problem is they stop being energy effecient at that rate. Now I mostly skimmed the article but I couldn’t find any information regarding that.

Good Riddance, 4o 5 months ago

Blaming the 4o model for people forming an unhealthy parasocial relationship with a Chat bot is just as dangerous as letting the model stay online.

It quantifies it as a solved problem.

Why and what drove people to do this in the first place.

This is the conversation we should be having, not which model is currently the most sycophant. Soon the open models will catch up and then you will be able to self host your own boyfriend/girlfriend and this time there won’t be any feedback loop to keep it in check.

This is pretty cool. But what gets me really excited is the new generic <Permission>[0] element. I had to implement a webcam element one time for some CV pet project and I had a lot of trouble getting the basic api to just work (Highly likely a skill issue). So seeing that this will also expand to webcam and other IO seems like a really good UX improvement.

I did this for a while but MacOS updates broke Nix often enough that I usually would spent some time every week reinstalling it. I still use Nix for dev environments because it is great but Nix still breaks sometimes.

I also really wanted to like the declarative homebrew configuration but it also often didn’t work as expected for some configurations and had a lot of leaky abstractions that straight up just broke sometimes.

If I ever go back to managing my Mac with nix I would probably just do a home-manager setup and just install most of the applications imperatively.

Given this was using an intel based machine around the time when the switch to arm came so a lot of breakage also stemmed from that.

I still use nix to handle my homelab.

My setup up on my Mac is as follows:

- Orbstack

- NixOS machine run in orbstack

- My whole dev environment is run from this container and is very transportable

- GUI apps are installed on my Mac using the App Store or homebrew etc. but I try to reduce the amount of installed applications

- if I have to install something that I don’t want to install but have to, I try to do it in a UTM machine.

A Fox one day spied a beautiful bunch of ripe grapes hanging from a vine trained along the branches of a tree. The grapes seemed ready to burst with juice, and the Fox's mouth watered as he gazed longingly at them.

The bunch hung from a high branch, and the Fox had to jump for it. The first time he jumped he missed it by a long way. So he walked off a short distance and took a running leap at it, only to fall short once more. Again and again he tried, but in vain.

Now he sat down and looked at the grapes in disgust. "What a fool I am," he said. "Here I am wearing myself out to get a bunch of sour grapes that are not worth gaping for." And off he walked very, very scornfully.

What I don’t like with HTMX and the like is that you basically don’t get any help in the backend. It also introduces implicit coupling between the frontend and backend which is very much the worst kind of coupling you can have. While this is fine for small to medium projects it is terrible in the long run.

To be honest this might be a skill issue or something I haven’t understood properly with these frameworks.

Trust is relative and it is subjective meaning that I trust Mozilla more than I trust google but I also trust them in general, enough at least that they support most of my internet browsing. Unless you mean something else ?

I agree with you. It is shitty behavior to say it is not AI written when it clearly is.

But I also think we at this point should just assume that everything is partially written using AI.

For your last point, I think this was also a problem before LLMs. It has of course become easier to fake some kind of ethos in your writing, but it is also becoming easier to spot AI slop when you know what to look after right?

I agree partially.

I do think that it was weird to focus on the AI aspect so much. AI is going to pollute everything going forward whether you like it or not. And honestly who cares, either it is a good ressource for learning or it’s not. You have to decide that for yourself and not based on whether AI helped writing it.

However I think some of the critique was because he stole the code for the interactive editor and claimed he made it himself, which of course you shouldn’t do.

I mean they say in the article that the have started on the windows version and are aiming for late 2026

I am going to add it to my watch list on GitHub as it looks interesting. However, as the other post said, it needs an elevator pitch and do not be afraid to include more pictures.

I have a hard time finding the features of the program from the repository alone. For me personally, I do not have time to do a deep dive into the code (or even the api spec) of potentially interesting software to figure out what is going on. Especially in your case where it seems to use a pure functional approach in typescript, which creates additional overhead :) Best of luck with the project.
