Readit NewsIf you’re worried about others being able to clone your business processes if you share them with a frontier provider then the cost of a Mac Studio to run Kimi is probably a justifiable tax right off.

I wonder if we can get the ASCII render to run inside Vim/NeoVim?
The European Economic Area + UK also have a lot of telecoms and networking experience. If they have to pay for improvements to edge networking for a reliable replacement for Teams they could easily bring farm that work out to their telcos.
With enough political motivation barriers will be removed one way or another.
I know because I totally failed to get tickets to see them at the Royal Albert Hall in June[1].

The Volca Drum being used is excellent at making all kinds or resonant, spriny noises with its wave guide effects if that's what you're looking for. It's a very distinct, unique sounding little box.
Volcas in general are an affordable way to get started with electronic music making. Cheap enough and easy enough to sell if you change your mind.
(I still really want a Phase 8 though :P )
* I’m old. I learned Vim many years before VSCode existed and I have good muscle memory for using it.
* Vim defines many editing commands are available in other places such as shells, db clients, REPLs so I can bring my way of working with me across OSs.
* Learn Vim once and you know it for all time as other editors come and go.
* Vim/NeoVim has even more plugins than VSCode both its own and via LSP, etc.
* Vim is true FOSS. No one can take it away from you, control how you use it or insist they are given ownership of your work including training rights.
* I’ve worked with many VSCode users since it launched. The way I see them using it seems slow to do simple tasks and unappealing.
* Vim is getting easier to use because LLMs are making it easier to learn some of the obscure features.
I don’t mind what editor anyone else wants to use so long as I can use NeoVim. I’ve worked some jobs where the boss insisted everyone has to use what they use and I’ve never stayed long when that happens.
Nicely made and always useful.
That would move the cost of running the model to the end user but it would also mean giving up all the data they can from running prompts remotely.
It would probably also make Office users more productive rather than replacing them completely and that's not the vision that Microsoft's actual customers are sold on.
