I sleep badly, and have had tinnitus since I was a kid.

I’m old enough to remember and toy with the now long-dead XNA. It was lots of fun, and gave a lot of us students versed with C# a sort of first-hand exposure with the .NET. If only (the old) Microsoft wasn’t so stupid, short-sighted, and selfish at the time.

If only it were that rosy. I tested a few of the top open-source coding models on a beefy GPU machine, and they all behaved like anything about anything - simply rotating in circles and wasting electricity.
Has anyone had a better experience?

Has anyone used this in earnest with something like OpenCode? Over the past few months I’ve tested a dozen models that were claimed to be nearly as good Claude Code or Codex, but the overall experience when using them with OpenCode was close to abysmal. Not even a single one was able to do a decent code editing job on a real-world codebase.

And so has been every other paradigm shift in human existence.
How does that compare against Nim?

Surprisingly, to me, it’s the other ways around - and, I’ve been writing code for two decades now. I love programming and even with AI, I will always have the last word, but I also realized along the way that programming is only a means to an end - you write code to get something done, not to write the code itself. With AI, I can finally give chance to my hundreds of ideas and see what sticks.

The romantic fallback plan of being a farmer or shepherd. I wonder, do farmers and shepherds also romantize about becoming programmers or accountants when they feel down?
They do. I’ve been teaching cross-career programming courses in the past, where most of my students had day jobs, some, involving hard physical work. They’d gladly swap all that for the opportunity to feed their families by writing code.
Just comes to show how the grass is always greener when you look on the other side.
That said, I also plan to retire up in the mountains soon, rather than keep feeding the machine.
> The idea is to create another page on your blog that has all the RSS feeds you're subscribed to. By keeping this public and always up to date, someone can visit your page, find someone new and follow them. Perhaps that person also has a feeds page, and the cycle continues until there is a natural and organic network of people all sharing with each other. So if you have a blog, consider making a feeds page and sharing it! If your RSS reader supports OPML file exports and imports, perhaps you can share that file as well to make it easier to share your feeds.
This is usually called a "blogroll", which has the advantage of being much less ambiguous/overloaded than "feeds".
We have a very similar feature on https://feedle.world. Every search has its own dedicated RSS feed that can new followed directly, as well as an iframe that can be embedded on other people’s websites. This way, anyone can build accidental blogrolls, based o topics of interest.
P.S. for people whore not really into RSS, we are also Beta testing the option to subscribe to searches and get results in email digests. Same idea, but you don’t need to bother finding an RSS reader.
Has anyone figured out getting Claude Code to work with a locally installed (e.g via ollama) or a self-hosted LLM already?
