Proposal: let’s measure model evaluation/generation speed in baud instead of tokens/sec. Remove the encoding from the unit calculation.

It’ll be good to have you in town. 😁

Shame it’s not the East Bay, but then, I never lived in Brooklyn either 😜

I get it that merges can be done better than git by preserving commit identity— as I understand it, hg did, and jj does it with its tracking ids.

Pithily, merge commits are a penance for thinking in the SVN sense of version control (I’m old) — but hopefully now we, ahem, `evolve` (pun intended)

In another weird way, this is why I came around to rebasing/squash-merging over merge commits in git.

It was `git rerere` that changed that for me, and why that’s not default in git baffles me.

The abandoned sentence was the affect that “at least they can work together”

I could give a damn about the feature speed of alacritty (pun not intended) — at least the devs

He’s really not nice, you’ve had similar experiences, and so, you make your own decisions, but he’s on my ban list, and will avoid his code whenever possible.

Alacritty stan here, which I arrived on for multiple reasons, but one is because the kitty dev is on my very short blacklist.

(As ghostty gets better, I'm open to the alternative)

Fuck. Forgot an equals sign. Y’all, programming, you’ll always have bugs no matter how far you get.

Anything in the modern era must interface with git… and it does. You do have to remember you’re viewing a superset compared to your git-using peers but my goodness is it convenient

My snarky point is mostly that people won’t hate you for it, compile times come with the territory 🙂

When writing Rust, you’re already conceding the compile time question. 😜
Ergonomics for sure. I’ve seen “quick start” snippets containing `unsafe` blocks 😞

Imagine trying to tell @filippo.abyssdomain.expert about Linux 😳
(Also, yep, Home version, I knew that trivia)

Yeah, I've been doing the ollama thing, and built a GPU rig for it. It's fun!

Step into the web of open models and running your own… 😈
