Very sad to see it go. Along with The Index, it was one of the few blogs i looked forward to new posts.

I think Elixir is taking a very mature path to typing. No type-annotations (yet) just type inference from existing language constructs like function guards and pattern matching. Also trying to minimize false positives, only giving type errors when it would provably crash at runtime.

Running an LLM locally is theoretically viable. Running your blog on your laptop is never viable (unless you hook it up like a server). One just requires compute while the other a stable network.

tbh, my home network is pretty close to the stability of my host these days…

But my downtimes are a bit self-inflicted: changing ISPs which I can personally workaround but harder for a blog where one expects uptime.

Funny joke until I saw the pricing...

What are you even talking about? Android is by far the most popular mobile OS worldwide. It's only in the US where iPhones are dominant.

Nvm I can't read

Looks really cool! I've also been experimenting with cyberpunk-y looking ui but this is far cooler than what I've come up with. Although it's funny seeing hints of material design poking through since i kinda associate MD with a lot of corporate dashboards.

thx!

haha, you're onto me with material design (which I really dislike), because it's built into Flutter, which I'm using for this, in a lot of places. BIGCORPO is onto us ;)

Tiny nit-pick: onclick="document.getElementById('modal').showModal()" in yellow box 3 seems to not allow word breaks, overflowing the page

Did i read that right? What part of a debugger would require the use of an AI language model?

Hey, yeah I know sounds weird. We're experimenting with small custom models <1B params to figure out which part of your code you'd probably not want to instrumentalize the normal way (e.g. logging absolutely everything) and instead in a more tailored way (and what that tailored way is), for instance a python for loop with 10k iterations.

You can run SteamOS on a PC, it's just a linux distribution

You can run Steam Big Picture Mode on Linux, which gives you the UI of SteamOS. You can also run Bazzite, which does this by default and is close enough for many people.

The actual image that gets shipped on the Steam Deck is available in bits and pieces as git tags in Valve's clandestine repos, but isn't yet being distributed for other devices. That is changing this spring, when they start supporting other vendors.

Styling is broken on mobile (chrome android). Content overflows and the text is shifted off-screen to the left

Unfortunately seconded. Interesting read though :)
