ChatGPT kicked off with 3.5, now this is the reverse. Would be fun to drag race these against each other, the harbinger of a revolution against now the fast path serve billions model.

I’m paying over 40 dollars a month for YouTube but it doesn’t allow me to choose almost anything of what I see, despite trying hard to fine-tune my recommendations.
I can’t permanently turn off shorts - and this I find personally insulting. It really feels like encountering a drug dealer outside my house every time I come home, always expecting me to cave and try some of that good smack.
But apart from ignoring me when I say I’m not interested in whole genres of ‘fun’ videos, it also resets the streaming quality to the lowest setting every single day and then hides the quality setting deep inside a menu with several fiddly clicks.
And this isn’t for my benefit of course: I can easily stream 4K video to my screens. It’s to shave a few cents off each stream and max the gouging.
YouTube's hostility is truly remarkable, by far the most egregious that the Subscriptions page in the TV app having a dedicated row for "recommendations" and "shorts" before you can proceed.

what happened with Codex? Did they rebuild it?
Codex CLI switched from a typescript implementation to a Rust based one.
My latest favorite is now that the Subscriptions panel adds a bonus "Recommended" row at the top, and then two rows down, a "Recommended Shorts"
Brilliant, I'm anxiously awaiting Australian pricing details (and release dates...) but could definitely seeing myself getting one of these as my first VR device, and the controller looks great too.
Being able to run games on device (and on ARM) is very cool, but I wonder if there is a cheaper/lighter/longer-battery-life version of this that is stream only? That's probably a better fit for me personally, I can't imagine not having a streaming device nearby when I would be using it.
Also hate to be picky, but looks like the frame controllers pair directly to the headset so maybe can't be used on their own? Would be nice to use them standalone too.
I really hope it's not going to take years to be sold in Australia, like the Steam Deck took.

almost nobody remember the router craze.
people don't even remember the era before the current brands. like the time a bell offshoot almost crashed canada because they siphoned all the telephone money into bad routers.
For those curious, I found this to be a very entertaining retelling of events from Nortel's persepective: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6xwMIUPHss
update: I’ve tried to use lm-studio (like the author) and the tool request kept failing due to a mismatch in the prompt template. I guess they’ll fix it but seems sloppy from lm-studio not having tested this before release.
I was road testing tool calling in LM Studio a week ago against a few models marked with tool support, none worked, so I believe it may be a bug. Had much better luck with llama.cpp’s llama-server.

I don't know why you'd see that as desirable and not use Zig. Unsafe Rust is actually harder to get right than C or Zig.
This is mainly for fun, really.
Tsoding's main lesson is how simple systems can be and the desire and demand for complex build systems is silly.

I think it's pretty crazy how slow a lot of the newer things in Windows 11 are. Explorer is super slow, Settings are slow. Sometimes I think even if I wanted to make things that slow (without using sleep statements), I wouldn't know how do it.
You see it in Windows 10, as well. Seeing the "working on it" when navigating folders, as if I'm using 5400 RPM hard disk drives.
The broader trend is pulling back a bit on “minimalism,” right? I think we hit peak (or valley?) minimalism already so I guess there’s only one way to go.
