I'm not quitting my 9-5. I'm building toward having that choice. Exploring AI agents, local AI on my RTX 3070, and ideas that could earn on the side. Sharing what works, what fails, and what I ship. Anyone else figuring this out alongside a full-time job?

Gave my agent everything it needs for generating a graphical game for the kids ... let's see what it will be cooking

I would say why don't we only give food to restaurants ...
WTH: Sam Altman complaining that individuals (like me!) are purchasing RAM for our PCs wanting to run local inference (and do other stuff), because it gets in the way of him buying more RAM to sell inference at 80% margins… this is barking up the wrong tree

Weekend project: neuhausen-detektiv.marcus-ei… Started building a PoC for a point and click adventure within our hometown Tech used: • Qwen 2.1 Image Turbo (based on reference Image) • Qwen3-TTS-12Hz-1.7B-VoiceDesign • Opus 5.5 driving the whole development Curious about more?

Thinking 5 to 10 years back I never would have considered it. For me I always was a windows/Linux for the stationary and Mac book for being on the go. Today I would really consider a Mac studio for the massive unified memory and a Linux laptop just due the easy setup with agents if haptic keeps up 🤣
I opened the box form @DHH and it's the Dell XPS 14 with @omarchy loaded on it! Set up was very easy, fast and flawless, I think it took less than a minute on first opening it Omarchy asks you lots of questions to set it up for you, kind of like an onboarding, but not in an annoying way like Windows would do these days with too many useless questions, every question here makes sense It sets up your Git and your AI agent of choice like Codex, Claude Code or OpenCode Everything worked flawlessly with no bugs at all, really smooth Then you're inside, and you see the famous Omarchy wallpaper, and then it gets a bit hard (for me at least) because I had to figure out the shortcuts Luckily @jankeesvw helped me figure them out but I'm still learning I'll be setting up my SSH to my VPS servers so I can work from there. And also I'd like to see if I can use Claude Code to customize Omarchy to my own liking, like generating my own apps etc. I'll report back! Part 2 of the video is in the reply (after I fixed the power)

Ouf that hurts, at this point you really must ask yourself if it is worth to go from 256 to 512gb 😅

Received a steam deck from my brother "before it collects dust" Not getting warm with it for now. I added a global voice to text button which uses whisper for voice input most likely using that for chatting without a controller. Any more nice suggestions?

This is more often what I care about, sadly my dollars are not on a logarithmic scale when I pay 🤣
When using LLMs there are two kind or people, people using a plan or people using the API. The Artificial intelligence index had a logarithmic scale. Sometimes I wonder why. If you pay API prices this chert might be for you

Imho it comes down to speed and cost per task, wouldn't mind something faster and a bit more clever than Luna
GPT-6.1 Terra: delivering fast and capable computer use at a lower price. GPT-6.1 Terra understands what’s on screen, takes action across apps, writes naturally, and is a more capable model for your whole workday with the efficiency to take on more of it.

Next fable release will drive people into AI psychosis if it is a big step up compared to opus
Opus 5.5 is one of anthropics biggest success. on OpenRouter token volume went up 3.6x since launch. And I havent heard anyone saying Opus 5.5 is a bad model. Its the oppostite. Everyone loves it. If they stick to this approach, Fable 5.5 will be the biggest success ever. No wonder they keep it until IPO.

Tried rewriting this tweet 5 times with AI... F this. AI amazes me, it might be one of the biggest things humanity has ever built. I have respect what it means for me personally, my family, my profession and even humanity

Had a talk to my dad when I last met him... him: "And then I updated the bios on your brothers old rtx3080 that failed last month because this black screen is a common issue" Hint: Same person asked me years back how to keep windows updated ... we are so early with AI ...

I had access a few weeks back to grokBot not sure how I even achieved it Was it at some point included with x premium or even free?

I am tired, at least it was really quite around Java for a while ... (see what I did there)
Not just PHP. Node.js has also announced security releases for October 21, with HIGH-severity vulnerabilities affecting its 26.x, 24.x and 22.x release lines. If you run either stack in production, keep an eye on official advisories and apply patches promptly. Security maintenance doesn't stop at your application code. Your runtime matters too.

Is this a qwen 35b a3b finetune next to gpt5.6 sol on a benchmark? dafuq, need to try this once I come home Anyone downloaded it yet?
Sage-A1.5 is here, bringing 256K context, parallel research, and evidence checks to long-horizon scientific workflows. 🤖 modelscope.ai/collections/In… 🏆 SOTA across scientific benchmarks: Scores 90.0 on PinchBench, 81.0 on FrontierScience-Olympiad, and 48.3 on FrontierScience-Research, ahead of Kimi-K3, GLM-5.3, and GPT-5.6-sol in the reported comparison. 🧩 Agentic Orchestration: When enabled, delegates independent investigations to parallel subagents with isolated contexts, then integrates their evidence and findings to guide subsequent work. ✅ Verification: Optional Verification Mode reviews progress, checks evidence and assumptions, and redirects stalled searches within the model's own reasoning, without a separate critic model at inference. 🔬 Open Scientific Discovery: Supports exploratory research through tool-assisted analysis and produces inspectable research artifacts, extending its use beyond predefined question answering. 🛠️ Native tool use for research: Supports APIs, code interpreters, search engines, and external tools for tool-augmented scientific reasoning and professional workflows. ⚡ Available in BF16, FP8, and GGUF F16/Q8/Q4 formats, with Transformers, vLLM, and SGLang support. 📜 Apache 2.0.

Can't be the only one getting a short dopamine spike if a new tool I need to work has MCP 🙂

Tried the first time to delegate dynamically to a dedicated model in opencode2 and it just worked @thdxr ❤️ You don't remember but this is what I asked back in July xitter.gq/eiselems/status/207441… You really nailed it, so awesome!
Replying to @theo
@thdxr This dynamic agent driven "model picking" is somethin I really miss in openCode right now. For me it feels right now it would be nice to just have an array of models per agent and then a default one (if the user uses the agent manually). Would love to use it in some kind of delegate workflow, this is currently not possible right? (e.g. Opus delegating to an explore/build agent running sonnet)

Imagine having almost unlimited intelligence and using it to write GDPR process documentation 🥹

Sometimes I wish I would only be half as patient as my favorite coding agent Yeah, let's wait for half an hour until this change propagates through CI/CD sleep 1800

18 days to escape the permanent underclass (at least if you have 0 self control like myself) Who of you gotta play, replying with class+race is a plus
