In J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Gollum ate bones and lived to be over 500 years. Coincidence?

Seeing that they were working on Qwen3.5-0.8B has given me new hope. I would really like to get Jeff-Code working the way it was advertised, but so far, all of my results with Jeff-Code have shown it to underperform compared to direct Qwen3.8-27B. It's possible there is something wrong with the underlying Jeff v1.3 model, which is based on the same Qwen3.5-0.5B. Perhaps Astra will solve my problem.

I wish I had something kind of like this: Tune into a local AM/FM radio station, then broadcast over LAN to parts of my house that don't have great radio signal reception. Are there any good options out there for this? Maybe something to combine with Radio-in-a-box?

When I last tried Mistral Large 4 for a code documentation task, it ignored my SKILL.md files and it had a few hallucinations. I wondered if I had failed to prompt it properly or if there was some problem with my harness. If it's gotten better since launch, then I'll un-cancel my Mistral.ai subscription.

I wonder if Apple dropped it because of some proprietary licensed IP, such as Intel WiDi, making the feature possible.

There are a few Facebook pages I actually like, and using this debugger will remind me of one of them: https://www.facebook.com/GrumpyNietzscheanCat/

The shift you're imagining is kind of like what happened with ASIC-based Bitcoin miners. There was a time when the people who made them realized it would be more profitable to just keep them in-house vs. distribute them for sale. If that happened with OpenAI/Anthropic, it would be mighty unfortunate. A majro reason why it's unlikely to happen (IMO) is the training of these models is aided by external users feeding in new content.

I love that he designed a Jugglemeter.

Tbh, I was drawn to this post's headline because lately I've been having a great time using the Juggler coding agent. I recommend it if you're in search of something powerful with a web interface that works well on mobile devices: https://github.com/juggler-ai/juggler

I'd really like to know what you did to get stable v6. My ISP is also limited in a similar way - no IPv6.

Commenting as an outsider to both projects, one possible motivation to fork Helix might be this PR:

https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/8675

Helix was originally meant to be a "batteries included" editor without any scripting/plugins. That PR intends to change this and so there is a bit of controversy around it. Overall it looks like the PR will eventually be merged.

The Mitos fork could have be made for totally unrelated reasons. This is really just my speculation.

Any relation to https://github.com/firelex/jeff ?

Citroen, Renault, and Peugeot are putting out some great compact EV cars this year.

The lost source code of Westwood Studio games cannot stop me now.

The incentive was there before and this latest development serves confirmation bias.

The multiplayer section says it can have up to 128 players on up to 128 machines. Wow.

I appreciate that he has several lamps with glare-reduction features. I wish more of my lights were like that.

>emacs of harnesses!

Would you be interested in a self-modifying harness written in Common Lisp? If so, then please check out Autolith: https://github.com/lambda-symbolics/autolith/

In my time using it with GLM 5.2, I've observed it modify itself to disassemble binaries in search of answers - without me needing to ask it to do so. Very powerful stuff. Here's what it looked like:

  ◇ reasoning summary
    │ The 200MB binary grep with regex backtracking is too slow. Let me write the strings out first (using grep -a with simple fixed patterns is fine; regex with .{0,80} on binary is slow). Better: use SBCL to do
    │ a fast binary search, or use tr to split null-separated strings then grep fixed strings. Let me use a quick approach: grep -ao with fixed patterns only (no regex), which was fast before.
    │
    │ To extract context, I can use SBCL to load the file into memory (206MB is fine) and search for occurrences with bounded context. Let me do it in a Lisp worker.

    │ - There's a regex ^(?:gemini-api:|blade:|evergreen:|beyond-api:)(?:.*?/models/(.+)|(?:.*/)?([^/]+))$ — model references with provider prefixes.

Can you link us to Paper? I doubt I will find it by searching online for "Paper design tool"

Do you know anyone in blue collar trades who is making 3D MMOs with Anthropic models?

They might be more interested in creating apps that are helpful for their specific trades - perhaps that's an angle (and market) for you to explore here. There's one reason to learn more about blue collar trades.

Securix is a great step forward in many ways, including for France, the EU, NixOS, and cyber security. Thank you!

This location is now known as Parc du Radôme and features Cité des Télécoms, a telecommunications museum with multiple exhibits on early telecom tech, under sea transmission/fiber cables, and early satellite antenna technology.

Are there any other telecom-focused museums out there in the world?

This should be a rune-charged Ash of War for a judge's gavel-type weapon in Elden Ring.

There had to be a catch to the "free" promotion they're offering this month if you use ZCode. Glad my instinct to isolate it helped me, but I feel sorry for anyone whose secrets, etc. got vacuumed up by Ziphu

How would someone send the audit evidence to their organization's centralized log collection service(s)?

Haha. A plot point for Ghost in the Shell (1998).

But GUIs are less useful for remote access unless you want to take on the challenge of creating a web front-end for everything.

Antigravity recently asked me if I wanted to make a Android app in Dart. Why not an Android version of this iTerm2 companion app?

Qwen is leaving a strong impression on me as well. Qwen-3.8-Max via openrouter has been a strong performer for me. I run it in autolith and then have claude code check the commits. Claude highly praises the quality of the work. Lol
