For example, Chrome is working on shipping web APIs for LLM access. I'm planning to release something similar in @agregore in the next week or two.

I don't think cloud AI will fully go away but I think it'll make less and less sense for consumer facing use cases as the small models become more viable via better training and better hardware acceleration.
I think in the next couple years OS-shipped #LocalAI will replace the use of heavy cloud based #AI. Microsoft, Google, and soon Apple will be shipping devices with local LLMs and it'll be cheaper for applications to target those APIs rather than pay OpenAI or the such. This will also mean that we'll get into a sort of "browser wars" of model functionality gated by hardware vendors.

@godotengine @aa @technobaboo the main thing missing on other platforms, like steamVR, is the ability to have desktop apps appear as a window while running an immersive XR app.
It’s actually really weird this isn’t a thing as it would solve most use cases for the missing overlay support in OpenXR

years of database software development and yet no real world use found for anything other than Postgres
This track on full blast has been great for getting in the zone.

Dear corp world: I actually really like returning to office and being with people in person. But all those pre-8am and after-5pm meetings I've been attending to make life easier on other timezones were bought with commute savings.
You can have RTO OR 7am meetings but not both.
Listening to some ear-piercing nightcore remix of barbie girl to get through this code.
AHA! Apparently I can get around this by using `tokio::task::spawn_local` instead of `tokio::spawn` according to this response to a deleted reddit post from two years ago. Yes my life expectancy got reduced a little while trying to figure this out.

This is why exercise is so exceptionally hard for me. I want to do it, I know I need to, but there is no dopamine reward for doing so, only agony and sweat.

Inspired by Google's move to remove @organicmaps from the Playstore without warning, I finally decided to move my > 3,000 Google Maps saved places to Organic Maps. To facilitate doing this for others' benefit, I made a quick webpage to convert your Google Maps GeoJSON data to GPX and KMZ files that render well in Organic Maps.

I threw a tokio::sync::mpsc::channel into the mix and did the un-Send-able stuff in a separate task. and it magically works now.
I am apparently too stupid to be able to make a method that returns a Stream of Result<Bytes> from a stream::unfold which does as async read of file chunks because I have no clue why the chunk read needs to be Send and what that even means
Stumbled across this neat programming language / environment while tinkering with my system.
I like how declarative it feels
I'm guessing a lot of folks will hate it but I kinda like how flirty gemma2:2b is and the overuse of emoji in it's regular conversational paths.
On top of that it's been surprisingly good at code generation given how absolutely tiny it is.
Updated my setup with Kanshi so now I can make sure my window manager is only rendering to one display at a time. Before I had to do a bunch of tinkering to move my workspace windows, now I unplug and it gets there automatically.
