AFAIK they haven't released this one as OSS yet. They might eventually but its pretty obvious to me that at one point all/most those more powerful chinese models probably will stop being OSS.
Sure enjoy your retirement. But for me it's annoying some late 50s+ people telling what you just did. Think about people who are in their 20s or 30s - they are not even halfway through their path to retirement and some maybe even still paying out student debt.
> Stop whining and start doing stuff you love.
You have to understand that it's hard to do stuff that you love when you have to feed your family and pay mortgage or rent. Not everyone can be or want to be entrepreneur.
You are just talking from perspective of someone who already paid all debts raised all kids and now enjoying or soon will be enjoying retirement - at least meaning you can retire even if maybe don't want to.
Retired? I'm not retired and likely won't be for another 8 years.
> But for me it's annoying some late 50s+ people telling what you just did.
The author of TFA is at least 50!
> You are just talking from perspective of someone who already paid all debts raised all kids
That part is true. But that was more or less true when I was 50, too.
Finally, the article wasn't about the shitty economic world that we've created for so many people, it was about how programming has changed. Those two are inter-related but they are not the same.
> To me the hard problem isn’t building things, it’s knowing what to build (finding the things that provide value) and how to build it (e.g. finding novel approaches to doing something that makes something possible that wasn’t possible before).
The problem with this that after doing this hard work someone can just copy easily your hard work and UI/UX taste. I think distribution will be very important in the future.
We might end up that in future that you have already in social media where influencers copy someones post/video and not giving credits to original author.
>The problem with this that after doing this hard work someone can just copy easily your hard work and UI/UX taste.
Or indeed, somebody might steal and launder your work by scooping them up into a training set for their model and letting it spit out sloppy versions of your thing.
I didn't come in IT for money - back in the days it wasn't as well paid as today - nevertheless if this craft was very poorly paid I probably wouldn't choose this profession either. And I assume many people here wouldn't as well unless you are already semi-retired or debt free.
I mourn a little bit that in 20 years possibly 50% of software jobs will get axed or unless you are elite/celebrity dev salary will stagnate. I mourn that in the future upward mobility and moving up into upper middle class will be harder without trying to be entrepreneur.
I don't like vercel design, its just huge list of abstract skill name and you have to click on every one to even have a clue what something does. Such a bad design IMHO.
Design of https://www.skillcreator.ai/explore for me it's more useful. At least I can search by category, framework, language and I also see much more information what some skill does at a glance. I don't know why vercel really wanted to do it completely black and white - colors used and done with a taste gives useful context and information.
Theranos were also hyping a lot and trying to build some stuff. There is some threshold (to be decided where) after which something is more of a fraud than a hype.
Also these days stock market doesn't have much relation to real state of economy - it's in many ways a casino.
If Theranos promised ten amazing innovations or useful products, got 7 of them to market to great success while revolutionizing their industry I'd forgive them if their other 3 products turned out to be hype.
Not sure who determines the threshold, he certainly goes to court more than your average person, but these are not start ups, they are large companies under a lot of scrutiny. I don't think the comparison is valid
>he certainly goes to court more than your average person
Yes because he sues a lot of entities for silly things such as some advertisers declining to buy ads that display next to pro-hitler posts, or news outlets for posting unaltered screenshots of a social media site he acquired.
right now this infrastructure processing is Mastercard/Visa which they have high fee and stripe have high minimal fee. There are many local infrastructure in Asia (like QRCode payments) that don't have such big fees or are even free. High minimal fee it's mostly visa/mastercard/stripe greed/incompetence and regulation requirements/risk.
Finally UI that is not so ugly. Now I'm only wondering if I somehow can setup that I can share the same LLM models between LM Studio and llamabarn/Ollama (so that I don't have to waste storage on duplicated models).
Ollama made the wonderful choice of trying to replicate Docker registries/layers for the model weights, so of course the models you download with Ollama cannot be easily reused with other tooling.
Compared to models downloaded with LM Studio, which are just the directories + the weights as made, you just point llama.cpp/$tool-of-choice and it works.
> For the remainder of 2026, Microsoft is cooking up a big one: replacing more and more native apps with React Native. But don't let the name fool you, there's nothing "native" about it. These are projects designed to be easily ported across any machine and architecture, because underneath it all, it's just JavaScript. And each one spawns its own Chromium process, gobbling up your RAM so you can enjoy the privilege of opening the Settings app.
I'm a little tired of people junking on react native when they have no clue what they talked about (And I'm not even react native dev but iOS dev). React Native doesn't spawn any chromium process. This is not electron. React Native doesn't even use v8 engine. All UI views and widgets are native. Platform SDK is native, Yoga Layout is native C++ and even faster than UIKit layout. Majority of RN code is Native - go have a look at github at languages section. JS is only 19% of codebase, everything else is C++, Obj-C, Obj-C++, Kotlin, Java.
The problem AFAIK with startup being laggy was making http requests to downloads those ads.
I'm a little tired of "hey I installed Linux!" posts. Ok, you installed Linux. Great. Wow! Now what, wanna show a screenshot of your desktop with an anime girl as the baackground and neofetch in a terminal window?
I did read it, but it sounds like you didn't. It had quite a lot to say about the reason for the switch, the challenges involved, and alternative software to meet real needs. Eye candy was not the focus at all.
for me this latest macOS is buggy as well. AirDrop stopped working and I cannot airdrop from my phone to my macbook that is 20cm away, connected to same fast WiFi and sometimes even wired to my macbook via usb-c.
I tried then to workaround and use apple Image Capture app to copy some files - always the latest picture is not available in the app. So now I have to do like cavemen to share some stuff to my email and download file in the email. And share button sometime fails as well...
Try opening the share menu on your phone, then opening the full airdrop menu, and airdropping to your laptop. Works for me when airdropping directly to my laptop in the share menu does not.
