I moved my CI runners to Bunny recently, and not only is it cheaper, but it's much faster as well.

interesting project mate. I have struggled with this as I built my workflow to rely on Claude, but when I put Codex into the mix it became a bit of a hassle, will check it out.

Try Cline, a vscode plugin that's been around since the start and has really active development. You can also use most providers as well.

Same thing here. I took a picture of some gravel/grass and asked it to show me what it'd look like with tiles. I showed it another part of the property, and asked it to show me what it would look like with a raised lawn. Super impressive to be able to see a cloudy idea in the physical realm like that.

I just wanted to say that's a pretty cool demo! I hadn't realised people were using it for things like this.

I've run into this before too, when playing single player games if I've had enough of grinding sometimes I like to pull up a memory tool, and see if I can increase the amount of wood and so on.

I never really went further but recently I thought it'd be a good time to learn how to make a basic game trainer that would work every time I opened the game but when I was trying to debug my steps, I would often be told off - leading to me having to explain how it's my friends game or similar excuses!

Some more info I noticed over on X which might shed some more light: https://x.com/shortl2021/status/2008554842332225705

I'm assuming it's because nobody can just leave something alone. It's always gotta change, it's always gotta be made "better". And it probably generates a lot of marketing, good or bad.

That makes it worse! Then people can sneak up on you :(

There's been a bigger outbreak in Washington it seems - https://nitter.poast.org/richardhirschs1/status/185164171224...

How strange. I just tried this out and I see two unauthorised subdomains, with one being an actual "spam" website. However, I don't even know how to delete a subdomain that doesn't show up in my domain registrar or cloudflare!

Thanks for the tool.

How bizarre. I'm not in the US either - I'm in New Zealand, and have been using Kagi since their beta I think and currently pay for Ultimate, and to me it's a lot faster than Google.

The other day I was using someone else's computer and used Google, and my goodness, the results were just awful and ... bloated?

From what I understand, it's from people using it in their workflows - say, Claude but keep hitting the rate limits, so they have to wait until Claude says "you got 10 messages left until 9pm", so when they hit that, or before they switch to (maybe) ChatGPT manually.

With the router thingy, it keeps a record, so you know every query where you stand, and can switch to another model automatically instead of interrupting workflow?

I may be explaining this very badly, but I think that's one use-case for how these LLM Routers help.

NZ Marmite ftw!

I had to tell my mum off for having Vegemite in her pantry the other day, but she had a decent enough excuse that made me giggle. "I buy vegemite because it comes in glass jars and I can reuse them!"

oh... I guess that's... practical, Mum!

Totally sounds like Spark :D

Go Garmin! You won't regret it.

This also works in _so many different work environments too_! I like how you term it "intellectual humility" but I wonder if "professional intellectual humility" is more suited.

Thanks mate, I really wanted to see some demos myself, but OPs link didn't show me much. This is pretty exciting, I know it's in its infancy but still... exciting times!

I have seen these turbines within city limits (in NZ): https://www.powerhousewind.co.nz/thinair-wind-turbine/ apparently they make a lot less noise. I'm sure some intelligent people will keep iterating on these technologies.

They do an awesome solar+wind deal too: https://www.powerhousewind.co.nz/powercrate/

People tend to post interesting jobs that they find in the #jobs channel on the DevelopNZ Slack if it's something you're interested in.

this city is so damn small, I didn't even need to know your real name to know who you were :D

All you other NZ devs should join the Slack server I founded for IT people in NZ. https://dev.elop.nz/ a lot of us work remotely. We have a dedicated jobs channel and all - we also have some very good recruiters. (700ish people)

A few years ago I took my Samsung S6 back to the store as the screen just randomly shattered on my desk. It wasn't cold, hot or in direct sunlight - just an explosion of glass really.

It was under warranty, so I didn't think anything of it. A week later the store replies that it's _not_ covered because it had a third party Samsung screen.

> "What? How does it have a third party screen? I bought it brand new from you guys"

> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "You must have gotten it repaired at some stage"

I was mystified. I had definitely never replaced the glass. They sent it to Samsung NZ who to my benefit they actually emailed me a great explanation of how they knew it was not their glass - pointed out the logo was slightly different, different reflections etc very close, you'd not notice unless you were looking.

After some back and forth, Samsung did replace the entire phone free of charge for me, and went back to the store. I was able to provide receipts and things like that and I guess they just decided it was easier to help.

Still not quite sure how I ended up with what seems to be a refurbished phone, sold at full price as a new phone. I would've really complained to an ombudsman but I think the store earned the ire of Samsung, as I got a follow up a few weeks later to say Samsung had investigated and would be checking this via spot checks more often as after my complaint (to them), they found out I wasn't the only one maintaining my innocence after buying from this specific chain...

Now the irony is that: my old macbook did have a third party replacement screen (non-official screen) but Apple replaced it for free, without even asking me how the screen broke (cord got stuck between keyboard and screen when I was closing it). I was beyond shocked, and it wasn't even under warranty! I had to ask like three times, "Are you sure there's no cost?" it was so bizarre, considering it happened so soon after the phone incident.

Hold on, to run your demo does one have to click the "Load Model" button before doing anything? 'cos what I see is a form that is greyed out with the error message still at the top:

> You need latest Chrome with "Experimental WebAssembly" and "Experimental WebAssembly JavaScript Promise Integration (JSPI)" flags enabled!

Now I'm wondering whether the top message goes away once the flags are enabled?

I tried on latest (normal) Chrome, beta and canary/nightly and enabled both options one by one and let it relaunch but still wouldn't work at all. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How are others getting it working?!

From someone else's comment, this one works fine: https://websd.mlc.ai/#text-to-image-generation-demo

Here's one involving Diablo 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IxuAyYocoQ

You seem to know your stuff.

My family suffers from a mitochondrial disease in which effects these very hairs in our cochlea (which makes us great candidates for cochlear implants) but would this be "simple" for research such as regenerating hair cells?

One of the reasons we make such good cochlear implant candidates is we instantly hear. It's like the neurons/links were just waiting.

If this is of interest to you, or you could perhaps point me in the direction of someone in this space, you can find my via my profile :)

I was pretty surprised to see that advertising actually, definitely caught me off guard to see Vodafone changing their name to One NZ (for example) and then this news to provide 100% coverage.

Which I suppose would be good for those very rural farmers. Maybe places along the west coast/milford/fiordland would def benefit from it. Guess it's one of those things we wait and see how it gets rolled out. And boaties I guess. Basically anyone who can't connect to fibre, and that fibre rollout is pretty extensive as it stands!

Your last paragraph reminded me so much of an XKCD, haha.

In the past I've done a lot of landscaping work on the side, as well as development remotely. My old man has a landscaping company and obviously needs the help at times.

I gotta say also: if you spend your day cutting/pruning a hedge, cleaning the property up - you actually get to look back at all of that and go "Hell yeah, that looks awesome". I never get that feeling of accomplishment with the dev work. In the past, sure - when I've built something big. But it's just not the same. I can't really explain it more than that.

A couple of years ago I wasn't really paying attention where I was and I was on top of a 10m high Macrocarpa hedge that's... about 120 years old. Anyways, I fell off that straight down on to the footpath. Fortunately there was another (much smaller) hedge in the way that was about 100 years old too and that broke my fall except I parted the hedge so to speak. (We fixed it, wired it up and it grew back together). I managed to get up and walk away, I was very very lucky. Damn though I was wired up so much for the rest of the day, I felt like I could've done 50 marathons!

Since then I have stayed away from doing anything like that - because I am a software engineer really, I just have some skills in landscaping with certain tools but at the end of the day for me personally, getting say an injury from a fall or chainsaw would be devastating to my actual career.

If I spend all day programming (8hr)... I'm really buggered and I simply cannot even brain. Cook dinner? Ugh no. If I mow lawns all day and get home (6-7hr), I'm like "oooh what should I cook for dinner, I'll have this cold beer while I do that and ..." it's like COME ON BRAIN.
