Yes, there are. The Semiconducter stuff is 6 9's 99.9999, then there's UHP .9995 which is what I use, then .999 mostly welding I think? Then goes down from there. Most 'balloon' grade has some oxygen in it since people like to inhale it and talk funny, adding a little o2 keeps people from dying.

I will NEVER buy google hardware again. They kill stuff that we depend on and then just expect you to buy their latest version. Up yours, not going to happen. Got rid of my last nest products this year and did NOT replace with the google version. Goodbye!

The problem with all the AI IDE's is you can't use them with most enterprise/teams accounts, you have to use API which can cost upto to 10x more over an enterprise plan. I really like JetBrains, used them for a LONG time, but just find myself doing 99% of my day to day with iterm and sublime now.

Such an awesome way to kill a somewhat useful program. Just keeping putting nails in the coffin. The future is here and it's NOT reverting no matter how much people want to stick their head in the sand.

Yes, but then they can't use that entire interaction. They used humans to verify the detection in the past, now its good enough to auto ban users and force them to be 'nice' so they can gather more training data.

Long time JB user here, and I mean long time. The past year I have been using claude in the JB terminal but nothing, and I mean nothing new has come of it in that year. Stuck in a tiny terminal window, opening files every so often. A couple months ago I switched back to iTerm2, full screen and use sublime to open the odd file every so often. So this makes 100% sense. They need to do a better job integrating with agents and not pushing their own.

I have passkeys on literally everything that will support them and store them in 1Password. I can access them on my laptop, phone, desktop without issue.

MCP's are great for adoption of your service outside of developer circles. Non Technical users can click a link, trigger an OAuth flow and authenticate. You can't do that with API. API still is better for developers using a AI via a CLI but MCP is easier adoption for web or desktop based clients.

What do you want to know? Just start llama-swap with the models i have downloaded, add llama-swap as a provider in bifrost, expose the models you want and they become available in one single endpoint you can use in anything like opencode, openwebui or anything that speaks openai.

I run a similar setup to the one he described on similar hardware. I run bifrost and llama swap though (tailscale rocks). My local model usage is for some out of band batch processing one of my personal apps uses. Basically a personalized recommender for media, it curates stuff for me based on a database i've compiled over years, so non-interactive. For that use case, I don't really care that it might take a few minutes to run. It's free. The machine is just sitting there anyway. I have tried using qwen-coder and opencode on my M5 Max 128gb and compared to claude code it's painful. I did setup a workflow where claude plans, qwen executes (unattended overnight, again b/c it's slow) and then claude reviews. I benchmarked this several times and I ended up using MORE tokens with claude because it had to 'fix' all the qwen issues. While the code it produced was 'good enough' the fixes were worth it so I just stick to coding task using API models (codex and claude).
