I wonder if these exist in Wezterm or can be added as a lua plugin?

All these modern terminal emulators have features 90% of users wont use, so it all comes down to what 10% of the surface you do use.

Can someone comment on ghostty vs wezterm? both are very popular, wezterm is much more configurable due to lua scripting, I suspect performance is going to be identical and not measurable by humans.

can someone recommend what plugins/skills they use with opencode, esp with the free models in Zen, and your coding setup?

The RTX/DGX Spark, Mac Ultras with 128GB unified ram are all ~$5k. Its still an expensive toy for rich people, it might as well be an H100 for 99.9% of the population (not devs with high paying jobs, of course).

the value of local models is allowing normal people to access AI without needing to subscribe to cloud services. this is esp imp for the rest of the world where even a 12GB gpu is extremely expensive.

there is no real viable local option that will come even close to Sonnet/Gemini Flash or the cheaper chinese models. Even if your pc costs <$2k you are never going to recoup the hw costs, and the results will be far worse.

I have no idea why people dont use GCP more. Its made by and for devs unlike the hideous complexity and stupid UI in every layer of AWS.

AWS has much bigger mindshare, thats it. Google has a well deserved reputation killing products, but their actual products/APIs are so much nicer.

Haven't used Azure but I bet its much better integrated as well.

Meta illegally scraped 80TB of data from Anna's archive, Libgen, Zlib etc. I'm sure other tech giants did too. Without paying them a cent, costing these projects $$$ in bandwidth/hosting etc.

when I hear people complain about these projects it just sounds like hypocrisy.

I've always liked powerlevel10k, or its equivalent tide for fish shell, which I much prefer over bash/zsh. Its fast, async, has everything you need, and is much easier to configure.

I've always wondered why someone doesn't just bundle a nice looking shell prompt with common nerd fonts and make it the default in a single package you can install.

even incognito?

Most websites send massive amounts of telemetry data which is never mentioned but somehow MS doing this for Windows/Edge etc, which they fully disclose, always is.

e.g. Netflix/YouTube

Vim style keybindings and navigation is massively overhyped as is vim itself.

Cue endless debates about how Vim is the best ever ...... I'm sick and tired of everyone telling me that their neovim setup with a tiling window manager with million customized rc files is somehow better than vscode with a mouse (which mind you still has plenty of keyboard shortcuts) with sane windows. /rant

the only part I question is the 'regardless of family wealth'. This is purely 1st world and even here for the middle class and above only. Sure, poor countries are improving, but there's no guarantee, not with increasing wealth inequality, climate change etc, that this kind of tech will ever reach most people.

If this is public I can only imagine what Google has internally. Does DeepMind compete in this space or is it fundamentally different than a llm like Bard?

With their massive codebase and already deep investment in AI/ML, I'm pretty sure Google and likely MS already have the ability to do massive refactoring, validate it using tests, reiterate, train, rinse and repeat.

Nodejs solved all this years ago, now we have super fast shared package managers like pnpm, yarn etc, not to mention deno etc, why can't other languages adopt the same system?

Hyperion is literature and art, besides having just as many mind blowing scifi ideas. Its easily my favorite.
