Every interaction I've ever had with Frontier Airlines has been negative.

I'd wait. Prices have already gone up, and I suspect they'll stay high, but not increase too much more than they already have. Apple is skipping M6 Pro/Max/Ultra to focus on M7, which allegedly is a big step forward for local AI.

The common wisdom (for good reason) is buy when you need to, wait if you can. But if you are able to wait that seems like the smart play right now.

I have been running evals versus other models on my own data. For my use case, Jev comes out on top at least 2/3 of the time. This is purely about accuracy. For cost and speed, it is on top 100% of the time. I agree that people should test their own data against it before blindly assuming that it will get better outcomes.

The API was duplicated, the results were not.

In the age of LLMs, linux's obtuse and arcane CLIs and configuration files are magically a strength instead of a weakness.

Pick a reasonable desktop distro, throw it on a spare drive to test it out, and go nuts.

Thanks, I hate it.

A similar story that came out around the time of the “Gulf of America“ debacle basically just said that the database they use for naming bodies of water had been updated, and therefore that carried through to Maps.

So it wasn’t really a decision one way or the other, it was a continuation of an existing policy of where names come from.

I love the (well-disclosed) fake testimonials. Hilarious!

I think you are right, and maybe it just appeals to a different kind of user. I appreciate the way it's set up out of the box, and make pretty minimal changes that chezmoi and the /omarchy skill help me maintain easily across updates. I like that it's well-configured without me having to configure it, but I know that's not what a lot of linux users are looking for.

I really like Omarchy. I don't agree with all of DHH's (apparent) opinions, but I don't agree with all of TIm Cook's opinions, Steve Jobs' opinions, Linus Torvalds' opinions, or Bill Gates' opinions either.

It's a real pleasure to use.

They pair really nicely with a column-oriented WM like Niri or PaperWM!

I really appreciate this project. Who knows if it will become a viable standard, but I like that there's at least an effort to work on something open and interoperable with a bit more structure than just plain text. The small amount of structure and ceremony adds boatloads of utility.

I don't use Blender, so my admiration is from a distance but: Wow - what an impressive project. At least if I understand it correctly, this is a real pro-level piece of free and open software that's equivalent to thousands and thousands of dollars in closed-source commercial software.
