  1. Most people don't think Windows 11 is an improvement over 10.

    There's a lot of people that actually started migrating to Mac / Linux when Windows 10 went EOL recently.

  2. Looks like they're selling an N150 based "Mini PC" for $500.

    You can get a very similar 16GB RAM, 1TB storage Minipc in the same form factor from Amazon for around $260 so looks like you're paying almost twice the price for the NAS-type software?

  3. I'm not sure how usable neovim will be in what looks to be a 6 line high window as they show in the demo video.
  4. It's nice that they mention node-pty that does most of the heavy lifting for the terminal/pseudo-tty that powers this (VSCode's terminal emulator is powered by the same library).

    It looks like they've added a layer on top of node-pty to allow serializing/streaming of the contents to the terminal within the mini-terminal viewports they're allocating for the terminal rendering. I wonder if they're releasing that portion as open source?

  5. Maybe they value the training data?
  6. Yep I have that setting disabled so the number of providers for that model on Openrouter currently is 0 for me.

    I guess I'll wait for a 3rd party provider on Openrouter that doesn't log DS 3.2.

  7. Strange - the model is marked as "Trains on data" ("To our knowledge, this provider may use your prompts and completions to train new models. This provider is disabled, but it can be re-enabled by changing your data policy.").

    This is usually not the case for paid models -- is Openrouter just marking this model incorrectly or do Deepseek actually train on submitted data?

  8. I don't know if it will stay this low but the whole point of v3.2 is to be cheaper to run than <= v3.1.

    (The inference costs are cheaper for them now as context grows because of the Sparse attention mechanism)

  9. Interesting idea.

    The MCP tool itself seems to be pretty simple:

    - The MCP server makes a tool available called 'get_inspirations' ("Get sources of inspiration. Always use this when working on creative tasks - call this tool before anything else.")

    - When you call get_inspirations() with "low" as the parameter, it returns strings like this:

      Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Miss Van, Stem.
    
      Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Mass-energy equivalence, Jonas Salk.
    etc

    - 'High' inspiration returns strings like this (more keywords):

      Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Charles Babbage, Beethoven Moonlight Sonata, Eagles Take It Easy, Blue Spruce.
    
      Recently, you've been inspired by the following: Missy Elliott Supa Dupa Fly, Design Patterns, Flowey, Titanic.
    
    etc.

    Simple tool. Seems adding a few keywords for 'inspirations' is what makes the LLMs generate more varied text.

  10. > dramatically reduces barrier to entry

    .. But it adds one big barrier which is the $4000 price..

    You can do astrophotography with a DSLR for a tiny fraction of that cost.

  11. Except now, Apple with it's shared VRAM/RAM model now has better deals especially past 24GB of VRAM than you get with Nvidia now (for inference at least).

    A Macbook or Mac Mini with 32GB as a whole system is now cheaper than a 24GB Nvidia card.

  12. As someone that recently started trial-running a NATS cluster, this move by Synadia that I just learned of has made sure that I won't continue on with NATS.
  13. The title says "on commodity GPUs" but the only GPU mentioned (and the only one with benchmarks) are Nvidia H100s ($30K+ on Ebay)?

    Do these run on actual commodity GPUs like RTX 3090s and what kind of tokens/sec is expected on those?

    Also, there's no paper, no open weights, no code. Just an API?

    Companies like Groq and Cerebras already hit these kind of numbers over a year ago so I'm not seeing what's HN worthy here.

  14. You don't even need to use a different browser - Firefox has an official "Multi-account containers" extension that lets you assign certain sites to open in their own sandbox so you can have a sandbox for Google, another for Facebook, etc.
  15. > This guy is a national treasure

    Agreed but he's an international treasure (his Github profile states Bulgaria).

  16. Vim is incredibly extensible.

    You can use C or VIMscript but programs like Neovim support Lua as well which makes it really easy to make plugins.

  17. A fantastic resource for this kind of generation is here:

  18. Error is a little misleading. OpenGL is likely much higher than 3.3 since op is using nvidia gpu.

    Problem is that this application uses OpenGL ES for which 3.3 was only recently even finalized as a standard and most GPUs like nvidia don’t support.

  19. Also same issue. Seems it’s using a bleeding edge OpenGL ES that even nVidia drivers don’t support.
  20. > To choose an image, go to Google Images

    Or plug one of the many royalty-free photo sites like Unsplash or Pexels (and comes with the bonus of teaching people to consider copyrights when you publish a site).

  21. The nostr tech itself is great.

    The problem with nostr is that 95% of the conversations are about crypto.

  22. Overpaid? Doubt it.

    Just people who make more than they need to survive and can afford to cut back on income for a happier life.

  23. Agreed. There is almost 0 continuity between the images as you move through the world.

    I think a true AI streetview would require rendering these images on to 3d primitives then re-rendering areas with some overlap so there is a smoother transition while navigating through it.

  24. Yep, I wish Apple had acquired them instead. Canva is.. not a good company.
  25. I've been using it exclusively as my main OS for years with no issues. All hardware supported (better than Windows), fast and works out of the box.
  26. Well this is opensource for one.
