Fun idea and a great easter egg, but as a game, the tutorial needs some work. I was so lost for so long and I'm still not sure I understand half of the game!
You’re expecting the wrong thing. The demo demonstrates the insane inference rate of dedicated hardware. Iirc it’s llama 3 or something. Not a very good model by today’s standards. But it runs at 16k tokens per second, an order of magnitude above the competition.
Imagine what’s possible if you had GLM-5.2 turned into a hardware chip like this.
The company I work for, Digits, has been regularly updating our AI-vs-human bookkeeper benchmark. Look at page 8 -- many models are nearly as accurate as a human bookkeeper
What would have happened, in that first story, if he had left the ship and swam to a passing boat? Or swam to shore? He was apparently able to leave as later in his imprisonment, the boat drift closer to shore and he swam from there. Why not just leave?
If you have a charger at home, or at work, why does it matter if you have to charge it daily or weekly? Yes, for some lifestyles, range matters. For others, a 125 km range is perfectly acceptable
Hey -- we've loved using Conductor here at Digits. I've been using it since February and only recently swapped to using Orca for Remote SSH and perf improvements. Looking forward to your general release of Conductor Cloud!
I've been wondering, since you're building desktop software, how do you get AI to test your changes? Boot the whole app? Run the frontend/UI with a mock backend?
Immediately I started thinking how nice it would be to use natural language to have LLMs generate a deterministic filter for stories matching content I DO care about, filtered from New. Instead of filtering it out.
I think this is an excellent consideration of how the principles of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance can apply to programming. I've always strived for Quality in my work, and I struggle today to balance that Quality with speed as I leverage coding agents more and more. I'm able to build whatever I want -- the gap is my domain expertise and taste. Before, my domain was "building and maintaining excellent software" but, these days, that's not enough.
Do you manually translate or translate with an LLM? While reading, I was wondering how common these kinds of written tics are in languages outside English.
Nice project! Curious why build a new front end instead of fixing (?) the behaviour in upstream Kakoune? I think the original author’s still working on Kakoune
> 90,000 people live in the core, which is about the maximum daytime population of Disneyland. More people live in the greater capital district (400,000), but because Victoria is subject to very particular microclimates, the further you get from the city itself, the worse the weather becomes
True, but outside of the City of Victoria is Saanich, the largest municipality of the 13 that make up the Capital Regional District. Saanich has roughly the same climate and another ~110k.
Also, anecdotally, despite the smaller population, Victoria is a tourist destination and swallows cruise ships worth of passengers with ease. If you want to visit, come visit. You'll find all the amenities you need.
I agree that it shouldn't mysteriously be a pointer all the time, but using a pointer for the cursor is a preference, not a standard. In native apps (outside the web), the cursor is often not turned into a pointer when hovering clickable content.
