I tried to run Qwen 3.6 27b locally a few months ago and all those synthetic tests do tell you something and quite a lot of people were very excited about that model but honestly? It wasn’t even close to default mode in Cursor or Sonnet at the time.

I’m all for local models and I do want them to be the future but I wonder when, and if ever, we’ll catch up to a level of, let’s say Opus 4.6. I guess it’s currently doable but requires $50k hardware?

I swear most of these tools are made for the sake of it…

While good old prompting is often better than plan mode or superpower skills.

Of If I walk 10 km a day on average and do strength trainings 2-3x a week but sit for 10 hours a day - am I sedentary or not?

I just wanted to say I love your ad, I have no experience with C++ but I like how straightforward and honest you are. Best of luck.

What alternatives to React do you propose? I found Angular even worse…

Motorola was my last Android phone. Once they pushed an update that took 99% of my phones memory and I couldn’t install even a single app - I moved to iPhone and never looked back. Over 10 years and counting. I still can’t believe they literally bricked my phone back then.

So far Apple “just works”. Is it perfect? No. But I can’t imagine fuckup of this magnitude from them.

Sounds nearly impossible it took me 3 years to figure out how to properly use my Bluetooth headphones with LTS Ubuntu a few years back. The solution: bought a Mac after 3 years.

There were millions of other annoying small things in Ubuntu itself as well. I’m sorry to say but as much as I love nix systems Ubuntu wasn’t really for general public - maybe it’s better today, not sure. Heard the story over and over again - that it’s superior, and every time I try it I’m utterly disappointed.

They iterate fast because they slap different names at the same thing they’ve been selling for years now.

I feel there’s a lot of marketing and pure bullshit around LLMs configuration and conventions.

Law of diminishing returns applies here perfectly - you can learn prompting in 2 hours and get 400% performance boost or spend weeks on subagents and skills and Opus and st best it’s another 50% boost but not really - in my case in a good day Sonnet is a genius and on a bad one Opus is an moron. One day the same query consumes 6k tokens, the next 700k.

They want to get you hooked and need to show investors they’re super busy but in fact it’s mostly smoke and mirrors. And prompting, once you learn to give proper context, is far from rocket science.

True, people praise Threads like they forgot who’s behind it.

That aside - never heard of xcancel and it seems great!!!

Is it only me or „Apply” barely works lately? The

I don’t drink, I never smoked, I eat clean, I run, I swim, I go to the gym. But I’m also at my desk for 13 hours a day on average and I think it will kill me one day. Trying to stand as much as possible but it’s not always possible,

Loved that story!

Im sure they pretended they did not.

Now they can’t pretend anymore.

Although keeping deleted chats is evil.

Great, another phone for giants. I’ll keep replacing battery in my 13 Mini, hoping for the best…
