Finally got to the #EhI vibe coding hackathon. Gonna mess with my local web app generator.
A NASA astronaut has captured an electrifying image of Earth from space, featuring a gigantic, jellyfish-shaped "sprite" of red lightning shooting upwards above a thunderstorm in North America. The rare phenomenon is still poorly understood, despite being studied for more than 30 years.

@ricmac Profit hungry corpos will never want open standards that empower people. All they want is to trap attention and feed you ads / mine your data. There's no "new business model" that would be different from that. Small instances federating together is the way to go even if it doesn't 'scale' the way corpo tech does.
@brandon oh wow yeah this is awesome, ty
@ellyxir Last time I did something like this I just read their source code in devtools and injected a script in the console to simulate clicks with JavaScript :P
Its not just some purity thing. It's much more about reducing cognitive load everywhere I can on the web. When I see underlined text (ideally some shade of blue) I know I can click that to show a different thing. All the behavior is something expected.
This goes for buttons & forms. Being clever and doing things differently than every other website just makes people have to think about what they're interacting with, even if only for a split second. That's not innovation, it's unnecessary friction.
Great article spelling out the disadvantages to heavy React based websites. https://infrequently.org/2025/06/conferences-clarity-and-smokescreens/
@trey @cwebber That makes sense, I usually set my display scale factor to 2.0 to compensate but some UIs just can't handle it sadly. The aliasing sounds rough. SimulaXR did custom stuff to wayland rendering to make text more clear but that hasb't made it out of there and sadly the xreals have no chance of doing the dame at the X1 chip level.
@lvk I think llama.cpp does this with this save/load demo actually: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/examples/save-load-state/save-load-state.cpp
@lvk ooo yeah. I wonder how hard it'd be. Was most of the state just the context and kv cache? Sounds like not a lot. For some reason I though Ollama had some sort of "continue from the last call" feature already but I might be hallucinatinf
@jfred I wrote a bespoke parser and AST transformer thing for SAS (statistical analysis lang used in pharma). Sadly all proprietary. 😅
I wanna get into it for more langs though. I find a lot of parser ecosystems don't put enough effort into making it easy to serialize back to text after parsing + transforming 😅
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
