@raphaellopesph Oh looks sick, missed the announcement!

@erikras Conception sometimes feels like you're not programming and you're in a hurry to actually get to the programming part, but if you take shortcuts and the foundation is fragile the end product will suffer from it.

[simji @simjnd]

@erikras The dev equivalent would be conception. Applying masking time is time consuming but you can't take shortcuts, badly applied tape will create leaks and you will have an ugly paint job. It feels like you're not painting but it's a super important part of the job.

you choose to run. Anti-AI open source project are in no way opposed or an obstacle to malleable personal software, on the contrary. No programmer (AI assisted or not) is entitled to having their contributions upstreamed in an open source project regardless of how good it is.

[simji @simjnd]

The point of open-source was never to let everyone contribute. SQLite is one of the biggest and most successful open-source projects and don't let ANYONE contribute. The point of open-source is that anyone can modify the version of the software they choose to run.

[simji @simjnd]

AI contributions (or contributions in general) are being restricted but in the vast majority of cases it's because the humans mass-opening pull requests are terrible at communication and are not competent. EVEN THEN it doesn't change the fact that you can fork and patch the copy

@TheGingerBill @speech_ka_ @awesomekling @ladybirdbrowser I use tabs as bookmarks / read later, so I always have a 30+ tabs open so it doesn't waste any vertical space.

[simji @simjnd]

@TheGingerBill @speech_ka_ @awesomekling @ladybirdbrowser You could resize the sidebar to only show a couple letters + the favicon I presume. It's "wasting" horizontal real estate just like regular tabs is "wasting" vertical real estate, and most screens (especially ultra-wide) have a LOT more horizontal real estate. But you can choose!

@peduarte @raycast Now we need Raycast to replace Karabiner too

[simji @simjnd]

@pilcrowonpaper The screen 🥲

[Pierre @pierrecomputer]

Our plan

[simji @simjnd]

tbh i've been using Raycast for years and never paid for it, I just don't need or want the paid features but really enjoy the rest of it

@peduarte Thinking it might help in your fight to lower memory footprint, but again there is the extensions ecosystem

[simji @simjnd]

@peduarte Have you considered other frameworks than React or did you stick to it because of the extensions ecosystem? Compiled frameworks like Vue Vapor, Solid, or Svelte are a lot more efficient than React (both CPU and memory-wise) with granular signals and no VDOM

[simji @simjnd]

@SebAaltonen What do you think about the electric Twingo? I love the design but I don't know how bad the specs are

[simji @simjnd]

@mikker Would love to have your perspective on optimizing memory footprint since you work on Tuna. SSDs are really fast nowadays, if people can stream gigabytes of LLM weights while doing inference surely my launcher can stream the MBs of indexes and text only when it's needed

[simji @simjnd]

@mikker e.g. should the clipboard history be in-memory at *all time* not just loaded from disk when I use the command? even then 150k words of prose would probably be about 3MB, 1MB if you compress with zstd which is very fast to decompress. Even the MacBook Neo's SSD reads at 1600 MB/s
