betimsl··on Rio de Janeiro's city government model Rio3.5 beats Qwen3.7 in recent benchmarks
The problem with these is the tool calling. From my experiments qwen agent almost always fails with tool calling and porting the correct config is quite tedious.

Rio3.5 with Qwen compatible tool calling, we need that :)

betimsl··on Linux 7.1
what a legend!
betimsl··on Show HN: Open-source Workspace (mail,docs,spreadsheet,drive) web/iOS
PocketBase is awesome and this thing looks awesome.

One question, I could not understand if a mail provider is needed or it handles on its own?

betimsl··on µcad: New open source programming language that can generate 2D sketches and 3D
Could you please make the book into a PDF?
betimsl··on The game theory of how algorithms can drive up prices
Who wrote the algorithm?
betimsl··on Casey Muratori: I can always tell a good programmer in an interview
More important that if it is a good programmer or not, is to be able to spot if the guy can get the job DONE.
betimsl··on UTF-8 is a brilliant design
The story is that Ken and Rob were at a diner when Ken gave structure to it and wrote the initial encode/decode functions on napkins. UTF-8 is so simple yet it required a complex mind to do it.
betimsl··on Intel Arc Pro B50 GPU Launched at $349 for Compact Workstations
Right, but Intel is in no position to do that. So, they could play and put 32GB VRAM and also, why not produce one with 64GB just for kicks?
betimsl··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)
Dream phone: Underclocked Samsung25 internals, iPhone SE design/dimensions, at least 90hz OLED panel, 1 back decent camera, 1 front too. 3A battery. Preferably an extenal SD card slot.
betimsl··on Caltrain official lived in secret apartment built illegally inside train station
Awesome.
betimsl··on Show HN: My self-written hobby OS is finally running on my vintage IBM ThinkPad
I think you could easily give the UI a refresh, modernize it a bit :)
betimsl··on Thieves took their iPhones. Apple won't give their digital lives back
It's simply not Apple's responsibility. Person's data, their responsibility. Any other way and people lose trust in Apple which BTW they protect it by any means. Trust.

Instead of wanting something impossible, accept the reality.

betimsl··on Thieves took their iPhones. Apple won't give their digital lives back
Apple’s encryption, is designed with end-to-end encryption for many types of data.

Some facts:

    Only the user's devices hold the keys to decrypt the data.

    Apple cannot decrypt it, even if served a subpoena.

Apple chose privacy over convenience. Sue all you want, you're going to lose.
betimsl··on InitWare, a portable systemd fork running on BSDs and Linux
Uhoh! -- The virus just spread a litl more!
betimsl··on Launch HN: Continue (YC S23) – Create custom AI code assistants
Check out NVIDIAs latest releases. Paying for tokens is going to be a history in about 6 months. You run the model on your laptop.

Maybe you're right about the confusion...but given the velocity, that's going to be fixed also.

All the knowledge about the field of programming is digitized, one could argue that having a model that digested all that information in a right way, is better than separate.

Just a thought. I don't care all that much.

betimsl··on How the American Medical Association Screws Doctors
They probably screw the patients too.
betimsl··on Launch HN: Continue (YC S23) – Create custom AI code assistants
Why separate? It's not like there's limited capacity...you can have an assistant knowing all the languages at once.
betimsl··on Rost – Rust Programming in German
You have a typo in the snippet on README.md: SchlüsselWert should be Schlüsselwert.
betimsl··on AI Is Making Developers Dumb
> [...] This is to the point where is starts to become hard for you to work without one.

Why would one work without one?

betimsl··on Unix Needs a True Integrated Environment: CASE Closed (1989) [pdf]
> Why?

Huge interest in the field. Schools unable to teach the craft properly.

betimsl··on Matters Computational (2010) [pdf]
Glad that I'm not the only one doing just that.
betimsl··on Automatically tagging politician when they use their phone on the livestreams
Any chance open sourcing it? :)
betimsl··on Why it's so hard to build a jet engine
Material tolerances.
betimsl··on Show HN: Orra – The missing glue layer for production-ready multi-agent apps
Running a 7b coder in laptops with 4060 is possible and with very good results. Orra looks like a very good tool to be integrated with any IDE. Take a look at this: https://github.com/huggingface/llm.nvim -- it has a backend option. Ollama exposes a REST API, I think you guys should support it :)
betimsl··on Show HN: Orra – The missing glue layer for production-ready multi-agent apps
I mean, local LLM, for example: can it be run with llamafile instead of cloud AI?
betimsl··on Show HN: Orra – The missing glue layer for production-ready multi-agent apps
I don't see local backend in documentation. Is it possible?
betimsl··on Show HN: I created a language called AntiLang – breaking all the conventions
Reads nicely from right to left.
betimsl··on Germany's Water Consumption Down 17% Following Nuclear Reactor Shutdowns

Equivalent to a beginner betting $500 on red. Let's see what happens.
betimsl··on How Core Git Developers Configure Git
It just makes everything perfect.
