LMStudio is not open source though, ollama is

but people should use llama.cpp instead

Abishek_Muthian · 2 days ago
Besides optimizations specific to running locally lands in lamma.cpp first.

Tried the GitHub app, made sure everything was properly connected, and asked a question about one of my repositories. It repeatedly claimed (5 times) that it wasn't connected and couldn't do anything, telling me to check the checkboxes that were already checked. Only after I showed it a screenshot of the settings did it suddenly comply and answer the question. I guess it still needs more polish.

I never had a pleasant GitHub connection experience in any platform.

Permission to allow the specific repo only access never works, so I'll have to allow access to all repo and then manually change it back to specific repo inside GitHub after connecting.

There have been instances of endless loop after Oauth sign-in, more recent experience was in Claude Code Web[1].

Poor GitHub folks, only if someone can donate time/money to this struggling small company these critical issues could be addressed /S

I use chafa extensively, and it really is the best tool for terminal graphics in my opinion.

I use it as a fallback option for terminals without proper terminal graphics support in my TUI Jupyter client, euporie.

There are Python bindings available: https://github.com/GuardKenzie/chafa.py

Famous physician Dr. Abraham Verghese was telling in the freakanomics radio podcast that doctors now a days are behavinv like software professionals by being on their computers and ipads instead of touch the patient and looking for well-known symptoms physically like how doctors used to do.

You absolutely can. Our framework can answer calls, run speech-to-text, analyze intent, and respond with LLMs, making it a great defensive tool against spam or scam calls.

This is a breath of fresh air. Modern pick up trucks post-2017 are giant vehicles with high danger to pedestrians. They are often touted as off road capable with high utility, and I see them in pristine condition on city streets hauling a totality of one human.

Good overviews of the truck https://youtu.be/aEq-vTLimrQ?si=fS-UhjndoWuxwBip

Personally, it's hard to see outbound calls generated by AI as anything other than robocall spam.
Abishek_Muthian · 5 months ago
I would like to use AI to talk to those spammers/scammers. When the adversary is using AI why shouldn't we to defend from it.
