Loving the new router mode in LLama.cpp. Totally replaced Ollama for me.

I'm a bit late to the party, but Orpheus TTS is amazing. Just fits into a 4090 and sounds great. Very nice option to upgrade from Kokoro.

It's happening! #Silksong is only days away.

Impressive platform support on launch, too! All major consoles, plus all OS's including #Linux. And, it's DRM free through Gog?! #TeamCherry killed it.

Tailwind Plus Plus' new vanilla JS setup is the first mainstream adoption of web components I've seen.

I've been tinkering with these for the past couple months and am excited to see more adoption.
Vanilla JavaScript support for Tailwind Plus
Every UI block in Tailwind Plus is now fully functional, accessible, and interactive, even if you don't use a framework like React or Vue.

One positive aspect of the megabill congress passed. It restores pre-2022 Section 174.

Now R&D are instantly deductible again, which was bipartisan. Hopefully that improves the programming job market somewhat.

What would happen if you suddenly lost your email, contacts, and calendar?

I just wrote a short article about how I backup these using open source software: mbsync and pimsync.

Excel supports LAMBDA now! Google Sheets has has this for a while, and missed that this was released in Excel 2024.

LAMBDA lets you make reusable functions with named parameters. It makes formulas 1000% more readable.

Ex. =LAMBDA(x, y, x + y)($A1, $B1)

PSA: If you use #Ollama, remember to set the context size (/set parameter num_ctx XYZ). The default is 2048 and silently truncates any excess.

On #OpenWebUI you can do this on the model settings page.

Editing by reading aloud to yourself works even better with #tts. I've caught so many supertypos and weird phrasing this way using Kokoro TTS to read what I wrote back to me.

There's even a no-install-needed browser version: see huggingface.co/spaces/Xenov... / github.com/xenova/kokor...

Embedding a JS interpreter in a Go binary is amazing for lightweight extensions on a core Go program.

Way simpler than RPC-based plugins or Go's native plugins w/ fiddly compiler settings and inability to update or unload plugins.
