I just learned that #Codeberg only receives 350€ per week in donations at the moment. If you like #FOSS and/or you use Codeberg.org, consider donating. Its not GitHub backed by Microsoft, its a non-profit dedicated to providing great service for developers.

@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 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 😅

@jfred I treat all whitespace as nodes in my ASTs and just gloss it over when I stitch stuff into the tree but I use them to serialize back into text. With whatever formatting is there

Anyone know of tools kind of like but instead of keeping the AST in memory they do streaming parse / search on the fly? I'm not a huge fan of masssive memory use and it feels like we're leaving performance on the table by parsing entire files/folders instead of just enough to get to what you want.

Maybe instead of an AI I should just run all these MCP tools myself since they seem to clean up a lot of interfaces for you. 🤪

Kinda neat that we're in the "people getting cyberpsychosis from AI" part of the cyberpunk dystopia novel.

@reflex @jfred @cwebber Yeah! They actually have an extra level of dimming rather than just on/off.

I mostly use my vitures for coding when on the go and for watching stuff via the neckband while I'm doing chores.

The xreal beam pro seems neat as a companion device but I'll probably just use my phone instead if I end up getting their glasses.

There's still a lot of things we can improve but I'm thankful to get to be Canadian.

Maybe once I get my glasses prescription updated and get some higher priority expenses sorted out :P

@Ember @cwebber Yeah IDK why they think taking over scroll and making it that janky / heavy is good. They should just have a video with text instead. 🤷 Design consultants gotta justify their costs I guess.

@reflex @jfred @cwebber IIRC the new xreal glasses come in two sizes for physical IPD and have software level IPD adjustment within the glasses themselves which can help a lot. I have yet to test it myself however.

I don't need a new screen I don't need a new screen I don't need a new screen. Unless... 😈

@alcinnz it's the lede that resonates with me: we're not developing for readers and viewers, we're developing for developers who don't want to touch actual HTML and CSS, who don't even want to touch JavaScript. They want to stay in their TypeScript fortress where normal people are not allowed.

#TIL that the “global geodesy supply chain” (required for precise satellite positioning that eliminates the Earth's own motion from the reference frame) depends on radio telescope measurements of black holes at the hearts of distant galaxies -- and these measurements are being disrupted by terrestrial interference sources like cellular phones and WiFi. Ironically, these interference sources rely on the accurate functioning of the very satellites they are interfering with.

(The LIGO detector was built in the middle of nowhere in the swamps of Louisiana to avoid this problem.)

So go find an artist you like, a smaller one, on Bandcamp and drop the same $15 you send to Spotify every month in their pocket. For truly small artists, a single sale can literally make their day!

NO ONE is going to notice or care that you spent $15 on Spotify, but the same $$$ spent say BC can be life changing to a struggling artist.
