The main thing I always get away from the comparison tables of these "big" models, is how well Deepseek v4.1 Flash performs. While still being the cheapest model by a long shot.
Funnily enough, yesterday, when things were breaking, a coworker linked to the mrshu one, and it showed all green while the official showed issues with actions.

Let's not give anyone ideas!
Ah! Fantastic! I have been wanting to do this exact same project. I have been held back by trying to choose a screen. I want something REALLY dim at night.

In the end, I created a custom watchface for an amazfit band 7 that I had lying around and that worked decently, actually.

I'm really curious what it is, but I don't want to spoil myself, so I'll just come back to this after I see the episode!

Why do you still think it's ok to override default scrolling behavior just to create a buggy mess so that is scrolls "smooth"?

/s

There is a bug, if you scroll down and then press the home icon, it takes you to the top, but if you start scrolling again it goes back to the original position. Please do not override default scrolling

Page looks nice tho

That was a long time ago. In 2014 they took a bite of the poisoned apple and received 40 mil. I can imagine that's where the rat race began, till they sold to this MediaLab company in 2021.

I can imagine anything of value, both culturally and technologically, is just being squeeze for any possible penny.

Re:Best Vibe Coding Tools on Tuesday April 22, 2025 @10:26AM (#43762613)
I am pretty AI-skeptic. But I just tried to create a little tool with Junie, and I'm quite in shock. It was SO good I barely had to do anything.

Personally, I still think that they shouldn't be relied upon too heavily, but if you already know what you are doing, some of these tools can definitely give you a big boost.

Re:RustDesk – open-source alternative to TeamViewer on Thursday February 06, 2025 @10:57AM (#42963599)
I am not sure about a "professional" experience. But my personal one is that I had my parents install it on their machine years ago, and since it's running stable and without great changes or weird banner or any other silly stuff that would break the flow.

I can log in remotely and help them. It is also easy to install and run, which is also bonus points.

For me, this smooth experience has been a godsent. When I used TeamViewer I feel like every time I would use it, sometimes months apart, it would break or something would change.

Very cool! I'm actually curious to learn more about how the bin conversion works. The pack files are pretty interesting!

For those unaware, this comment is referring to premium bonds in the UK[1]. It is a very interesting system, I agree! But there are quite a few parts of the system that make it way more fair than a lottery.

Most obviously, it doesn't cost to enter. So the most you can "lose" is a missed interest income from putting the money in another source.

After that, it's definitely the fact that the algorithm is designed to both pay a certain percentage of people and always have specific return. [1]

You are also limited to how much you can enter to 50k.

With all that in mind, at the end of the day it feels like many small wins over time, with the super random chance of occasionally having a big-ish payout.

It's definitely designed to feel like a lottery, but in reality is way more akin to normal savings than a lottery.

Why is it? Doesn't sound particularly unfortunate to me

Fantastic! Only comment I could possibly have is that the cats page needs more pics of cats.

oh no, the whole reason why I like Affinity products is the pricing model. I can't imagine that will last long.

install the plugin and enjoy? what specifically is keeping you?

if you just type in the search bar it will automatically use Kagi so there isn't really any friction.

Downloading now! I'm already excited! There's a couple of similar apps but they are 99% mac-only. Thanks for making a cross-platform one!
Re:JetBrains AI on Wednesday December 06, 2023 @03:53PM (#38549318)
I've been trying it out on a small project for the last few hours and I am quite enjoying it! I tried copilot and was very disappointed.

I think this needs some fine tuning(it keeps trying to remove my comments), but other than that it's probably the only tool I felt comfortable other than copy pasting from chatGPT, which obviously doesn't include diff or context of the project.

Yeah it's a shame it's not included in the all products pack, but for the amount of power I get for my buck, I'm pretty happy with JetBrains overall!

I see this the same way as the relationship between cinema and theatre and I would expect prices to be similar. Maybe at thr beginning they'll try to keep concert prices the same, but eventually they will as this type of entertainment becomes more mainstream
Congrats on the game! Looks great!

Mildly off-topic: how do you get Google ads on a website like this? Google loves to reject my websites due to a lack of content even if the content is a game itself or a Web app rather than some content-heavy website

Netflix just gave him the money? Isn't a producer the one with the money that hires people?
