@keenanisalive ooh similar to this browser extension I've been using chiawendt.github.io/tex-to-unicode/

I got tired of mashing together tools to write long threads with 𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 and ℳα†ℏ—so I wrote La𝑇𝑤𝑒𝑒𝑡! It converts Markdown and LaTeX to Unicode that can be used in “tweets”, and automatically splits long threads. Try it out! keenancrane.github.io/LaTweet/

@parthsareen @ollama @ExaAILabs @DKundel @OpenAIDevs 😍

gpt-oss with built-in websearch in @ollama running fully locally on my mac with @ExaAILabs for search shoutout to @DKundel @OpenAIDevs for making it so easy :)

running gpt-oss:20b on @ollama with Turbo and web search 🏎️ 💨 very happy with how the web search turned out :) and ofcourse – more improvements on the way!

codex cli + ollama ❤️

@JungleSilicon Ooh that might be even better

@devonrifkin haha - i was just about to try "are they facing each other or away from each other". good idea!

please say left... i'm running out of ideas... maybe a model that generates a normal map?

@iansilber let me pick the model easily via the keyboard (like either a shortcut or a slash command)

we’ve been busy making improvements to the core chagpt experience (long overdue). what do you think we should do next?

Multimodal model support is here in 0.7! Ollama now supports multimodal models via its new engine. Cool vision models to try👇 - Llama 4 Scout & Maverick - Gemma 3 - Qwen 2.5 VL - Mistral Small 3.1 and more 😍 Blog post 🧵👇

I got access to Copilot Workspace. If Devin were a beer, Copilot Workspace would be more like a refined wine that people with good taste would appreciate. My first impressions are very positive—like, "Holly Molly, this is cool!" positive. Of course, I still need more time to test it. GitHub is using its unfair advantage very effectively: the tool is fully integrated with GitHub. You can generate code directly in a repository, solve a reported issue, and test it without leaving the interface. But the best part is the approach: Ask Copilot something, and it will generate a specification for you. You can read it and make changes to it if you want to. Once you approve the specification, Copilot will generate a plan. It's a bullet list telling you what it will do on every repo file. Again, you can add things to the plan or correct any mistakes. After you approve the plan, Copilot will start writing the code and making the changes. The approach here is very different: GitHub is not positioning Copilot as a hostile tool for developers. They ain't trying to get anybody's job. Instead, they are positioning the tool as an aid to developers. Big difference. I like it. I'll record a video to show you how this works.

@multikev (hope u like rocks)

@1littlecoder We already have a Devin. I mean Devon. Specifically @devonrifkin. Who happens to work on Workspace. Hang on, I'm going to need a whiteboard to diagram this out, one sec

We’re redefining the developer environment with GitHub Copilot Workspace—where any developer can go from idea, to code, to software in natural language.

@devonzuegel I just bought a small turntable for my fridge the other day because of that same silly problem. It's a little space inefficient, but I like it enough I'm going to get one or two more

Part of the problem is that fridges are deep enough for ingredients to be hidden behind other items, so they'll sit there forgotten Seems trivial—just look behind the item in the front, right?!—but it is harder than it sounds 😅

I wish there were a way to automatically index what ingredients are in my fridge & cupboards Then you could run queries against it like "given the ingredients we have, what is a quick snack I could whip up in 5 mins?" or "what do I need to buy to make a lemon tagine tonight?"

@StrangeB00k I'm wondering if it's possible to order a PDF?
