Really enjoy using ghostty but I've switched mostly back to konsole for only one reason: memory usage. I'll reevaluate, after reading this!

I'll kick it off:

Oxide computing.

Took me a very small amount of time to figure out pytorch was a one man effort that actually was discouraged by Facebook initially, and the dev no longer works there

Just echo'ing the other comment.

I'm on arch, and with nearly no tinkering my index just works.

Only low level knowledge I think would be useful is the different VR runtimes. SteamVR vs Monado

Yup, although technically not replaced because I never used either of those products because I don't like sending my code to their black box. I have 2x24GB AMD gpu's, gotten from gamers on my local marketplace, one is connected with a 40cm riser cable. Running Qwen 27B and am very happy with its performance. Q8 with 135k context (arbitrary number, I could push it to 256). I like to use qwen 35B3A for mapping out entire code paths through our relatively complicated codebase/infra at work.

I think it's so good that I now scour the local marketplaces for good buys on 24GB cards that don't seem run through by miners and the likes, to build an even bigger rig for parallel execution.

Power usage is also totally not an issue, AI workload is very different from gaming.

tldr llama.cpp-vulkan with opencode on total 48GB VRAM AMD cards on arch btw.

My imposter syndrome is essentially fear of being julius.

Very nice read thank you. Still remember very clearly putting the Richard D James album CD into my Sony disc man for the very first time 22 years ago

Absolutely love it. Inspires me to think about porting my own productivity tools to an IRL device.

Wow, there goes 20 minutes. Really enjoyed it, thanks.
