alvsilvao··on Backtrack-Free Cursive
An italian influencer started speaking in italics/cursive. It's a silly thing, but the thought of pronouncing words differently because they are on bold or italics is interesting

alvsilvao··on Anthropic requires 30 day data retention for Fable and Mythos
Lots of companies need a 0 day retention policy. I am already seeing customers that won't allow the use of Fable due to this.
alvsilvao··on Parallel Agents in Zed
actually not that great. it's not as intuitive as Superset. Also, I can't manage to get a Claude session in the terminal to become a thread
alvsilvao··on Parallel Agents in Zed
This is great! I love Zed, but when I came across Superset I stopped using Zed. Maybe no I will go back to it
alvsilvao··on Good sleep, good learning, good life (2012)
Putting my laptop to sleep unfortunately didn't increase its memory
alvsilvao··on I ran Gemma 4 as a local model in Codex CLI
I also tried Gemma 4 on a M1 Macbook Pro. It worked but it was too slow. Great to know that it works on more advanced laptops!
alvsilvao··on Show HN: Algorithmically finding the longest line of sight on Earth
This is so interesting. Thanks for sharing. I have been working on a similar project where instead of finding all the sights I have focused on finding all the cycling climbs in the world. I think there is a sense of satisfaction in finding ALL of something.

Cheers

alvsilvao··on Anthropic made a mistake in cutting off third-party clients
Just checked https://opencode.ai/.

It looks like they need to update their FAQ:

Q: Do I need extra AI subscriptions to use OpenCode? A: Not necessarily, OpenCode comes with a set of free models that you can use without creating an account. Aside from these, you can use any of the popular coding models by creating a Zen account. While we encourage users to use Zen, OpenCode also works with all popular providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI etc. You can even connect your local models.
