Re:Pi 1.0 on Friday October 02, 2026 @08:27AM (#49932719)
I feel like the ghostty hype make more sense as excitement around the direction of terminal infra than a claim it is the one true terminal. Kitty's fine and if you are happy with it there's probably no good reason to switch.

Tangentially I also kind of feel like there is some level of deification of Mitchell's products but that's a diff topic.

Just stop. No one in this thread ever said that human health was insignificant. At worst we implied that the severity of the recall was heavily exaggerated.
Yeah came here to say this. Drop in the bucket.

Whitney's version gives you goosebumps; Dolly's original will make you cry.
I’m using llama-swap because it can manage arbitrary backends, not just llama-server instances. I have llama.cpp chat and embedding models running alongside whisper-server all behind a single endpoint with per-model TTLs so they don't fight over the limited vram I have available on this box. Native routing could replace the llama.cpp part but not whisper so I guess I'm exotic ;)
Re:The Future of Obsidian Plugins on Tuesday May 12, 2026 @02:03PM (#48111898)
I mean, we're not talking about a hosted service here. Albeit not OSS, the client is free, API stable, fully functional offline, and very extensible. Even if Obsidian the company went away, the latest version of the app would continue to work and you would still own your data.

Not defending spammers, but this comes across a smidge naive considering Cloudflare's overall footprint in the modern internet.

> All python packaging challenges are solved.

This comes across as uninformed at best and ignorant at worst. Python still doesn't have a reliable way to handle native dependencies across different platforms. pip and setuptools cannot be the end all be all of this packaging ecosystem nor should they be.

> Structurally, it's closer to a slasher/horror flick

Having rewatched T1 very recently, I couldn't agree more with this. At one point I turned to my partner and asked what genre this actually was because all things pointed to horror.

Hoosiers, for sure. "My team is on the floor" was such a flex as a coach, it is still difficult for me to separate the man he played in that movie and the actor, to me they're one and the same.
First, nice work. I'm certainly glad to see such a tool in this space right now. Besides a UI, what does this provide that something like Browserless doesn't?
Re:New Apache Airflow Operators for Google Generative AI on Monday August 12, 2024 @03:45PM (#41228490)
Prefect has more polish and is easier to get started than any of the existing options. We've been running their self-hosted for over three years and it basically stays out of the way.

We looked at Dagster as well as Airflow. I really, really liked Dagster but the BI team didn't.

I cannot imagine using Airflow for anything meaningful and respecting myself at the end of a work day. The local development experience was abysmal. Deployments sucked.

That being said, if you're not using anything except maybe cron right now, and if you don't care about the solution being a proper data pipelines orchestration platform trademark symbol, I'd recommend starting with Windmill.

Impressive work, congrats on the launch! Aside from the OSS perspective, how would you compare your service to Twingate?

Re:When do we stop finding new music? on Wednesday April 24, 2024 @10:10PM (#40152532)
Yeah but none of this music slaps as hard as it did in my 20s. Don't get me wrong I appreciate it the same I'm sure, there's just such a thing as youth and emotion and I wouldn't trade that exploratory musical phase for anything.

Re:Web Scraping in Python – The Complete Guide on Tuesday February 20, 2024 @03:05PM (#39446207)
There's quite a bit of new tooling in this space, selecting the right one is going to depend on your needs then you can spike from there. Check out Prefect, Dagster, Windmill, Airbyte (although the latter is more ELT than ETL).

Cloud native and self-hosting are not mutually exclusive.

Re:Hertz to Sell 20k EVs in Shift Back to Gas-Powered Cars on Friday January 12, 2024 @12:18AM (#38964181)
As long as you live where you can place your own charger. I've ridden with countless Uber drivers who rent EVs from Uber whose experience would disagree with such a blanket statement.
Nah, I'm with you. Maybe don't post direct links to psyops platforms, regardless how many users it has.
