@fileverse @keithman__ Hey, ddocs is an awesome browser web app ✨ Is possible to have a desktop version on linux so I can click open office files similar to OnlyOffice? 🙏🙃

@keithman__ Lots of effort put to make it feel simple and accessible, and behind the scenes it’s powerful like a space-time sasuke ninjutsu 🧚‍♀️🌸 Is there anything you’d like to see added on ddocs? We’re here anon!

my thoughts on ddocs? very standard ngl. @fileverse

@vikrantnyc @openclaw @jandotai You have GLM5.2 running locally?

How do you talk to your local LLMs? Of course I use @openclaw. But sometimes I want to talk to my GLM and not interfere with OpenClaw, so for desktop, I'm really liking @jandotai. It connects to my GLM5.2 that's running on my openclaw machine. jan.ai

@jeo_geo_alukka @MaximeRivest No you didn't, shame on you for claiming that!! 😡 The real author is @_alejandroao all credits belong to him and he has an awesome educational video on how tau agent harness works 👇 youtu.be/5duo9qHw660 github.com/huggingface/tau

@MaximeRivest I have made a Python version of pi called tau github.com/Jeomon/Tau

Pi coding agent is very often the best for its price. Pi's system prompt is very short and has only 4 tools. My Pi system prompt is even more minimalistic and I get better & cheaper results (according to my guts; sorry i don't have better proof, yet!) how? I have a custom extension that let's me change the system prompt easily and I now have 25 modes (prewritten specialized system prompts). The models are better at smaller context, everyone accept that as fact by now. I, also, feel that everyone would accept as fact that a model is better with a specialized system prompt. Yet, no one does it for coding agents! Pi agents are told that they are coding agents in Pi, I prefer them to think they are maintainer of library X and have access to some tools. Or that they are Documentation writer, etc. LLMs are trained to be extremely 'responsive' and 'deligent' in following system prompts over user prompts. We must take advantage of that! I often switch system prompt mid-conversation: > oh not my prompt cache! its actually not bad and in my experience it is totally worth it! Thanks to the gain in performance for the next turn the model use much less tool calls and succeed faster, offsetting the cost of not being prompt caching friendly. In short, I recommend pi and i recommend making yourself a way to change the system prompt.

@MaximeRivest Dude image the impact on having a billion reMakable devices on the education system all over the world, so many great outcomes, please keep on building 🔥🔥🔥

I don't read hacker News much, someone told me my reMarkable project made it there. I don't recommend reading the comments. While it does not affect me emotionally, I was pretty baffle at how negative and suspicions people are. I have a hard time seeing the benefits of being soo gloomy :o

@0day_ninja Keep these coming 🔥🔥🔥

During Windows 3.1's installation setup, Microsoft embedded self-modifying XOR-encrypted code that secretly checked whether the machine was running DR-DOS instead of MS-DOS. If it detected a competitor's OS, it deliberately triggered a fake error screen to scare users away. The engineer who wrote it embedded his own initials in the encrypted signature. It was discovered years later during antitrust litigation. Microsoft paid $280M to settle.

@the_smart_ape "carry trade" should be illegal, end of story!

japan is trapped. and we're the ones who'll pay the price. the yen just hit 163 vs the dollar, its weakest level since 1986. a 40-year low. you might think this is japan's problem. it's not. let me explain why this ends up hitting your portfolio. us 10y yields: ~4.5% japan 10y yields: ~2.6% capital flows where it's paid most. so investors borrow yen at ~1%, convert to dollars, buy treasuries at 4.5%, pocket the difference. this is the "carry trade", and converting yen to dollars means selling yen. the more the yen falls, the more profitable the trade (you repay your yen debt with cheaper yen). more traders get in. more yen gets sold. the loop feeds itself. short positioning on the yen is at record levels right now. tokyo has two options and both are bad. option 1: intervene. sell dollar reserves, buy yen. they already spent a record $73b+ in one operation this spring. reserves dropped 5.6% in a single month. the yen kept falling. option 2: raise rates aggressively to close the gap. impossible. japan's public debt is over 200% of gdp. every rate hike adds tens of billions in interest costs as that debt rolls over. hike too fast → fiscal crisis. hike too slow → currency keeps bleeding. meanwhile japanese households pay the first bill: japan imports nearly all its energy, priced in dollars. weak yen = imported inflation = wages falling behind. why you pay the price next: japan is the largest foreign holder of us treasuries: ~$1.2 trillion. for decades, zero rates at home forced japanese pension funds and insurers to buy us debt for yield. that era is ending. jgb 10y now pays ~2.8%, the 30y crossed 4% for the first time ever. japanese capital is going home. japanese investors already dumped ~$30b of us government paper in q1 alone. 2 ways this hits us markets: > less japanese bid on treasuries → higher us yields → pressure on equity multiples (tech first) > a chunk of us stocks and crypto is funded by cheap yen borrowing. yen strengthens → those positions bleed → forced liquidations. if tokyo gets dragged into a prolonged intervention war and burns through its dollar deposits, the next step is selling treasuries outright. the world's biggest holder of us debt becoming a forced seller, into a market that already struggles to absorb record us issuance. that's the scenario gold is pricing. two debt-saturated governments on both sides of the pacific, no clean exit for either. watch july 31: boj rate decision. a hawkish surprise + record yen shorts + tokyo now intervening without warning = ingredients for a violent short squeeze. if that unwind gets disorderly, it won't stay contained to forex.

@iximiuz I setup a crazy local dev env, base image e.g. archlinux:base-devel + devbox/nix single-user mode, mount /nix + /home/user to rooltess podman container, keeps packages installed in the nix store, won't bloat the container and survive its deletion.

Remote != Cloud. I use good old VMs (or even bare metal servers). One server per group of related projects. Rent my on Hetzner (so it's pretty cheap), but it can also be a beefy homelab server sliced into a bunch of smaller boxes. The dev ex you get is often way better than trying to run things in local isolated sandboxes (which either don't isolate enough or get in the way too much).

Agents shouldn’t have been started on dev laptops in the first place.

@TrackAIPAC @AbdulElSayed 🔥🔥🔥

Q: Do you believe Israel has a right to exist? @AbdulElSayed: "I think the question we all ought to ask is, does everybody have equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination?" "The question about whether or not Israel has the right to exist is actually quite secondary to whether or not they have a right to our tax dollars. And people don't ask that question in good faith."

@Thom_Wolf @cerebras Can this works with Gemma 12B using the model ASR capability, reducing the ASR layer latency?

Most people should probably update their priors on the state of open-source speech-to-speech. It's honestly kind of mind-blowing. We teamed up with @cerebras to build a fully open-source realtime voice demo (models + code) to show what's possible today. Demo : huggingface.co/spaces/smolage… Blog: huggingface.co/blog/cerebras-… Go test it, fork it, tweak it, and impress your friends. video is raw, no cut, no speed-up, first take

@brave Is it possible to delete browsing history per container?

By popular request: Brave now has Containers! In Brave for desktop, you can now separate your browsing sessions with a couple of clicks. Here's what this means...

@iximiuz both, I feel more at ease and in control working with agents on a sanbox container on my laptop, I haven't tested the local gh CI checks yet. Depending on the workload, setting up a secure dev stack env on the cloud seems overkill / waste of time and money.

@didorealm Is it a question or a pointer?

@_jaydeepkarale uv is great, until you need a system package, now you have to deal with apt, apk, dnf, pacman, etc..

@didorealm We've settled for UV now

Python developers have quietly stopped arguing about package managers. We went from: pip → pipenv → poetry → pdm → rye → uv At this point I don't even ask what someone uses. I ask how long until the next one

@OsaurusAI macOS only 😔

We didn't just make local models faster. We made them dependable at tool calling. Gemma 4 12B now picks the right tool and runs it correctly, on-device and ~60% faster. Small models just got serious.

@teortaxesTex 🔥🔥🔥🤣

The EU was getting nowhere with "digital sovereignty" anyway, just Mistral grifting around with govt contracts. Europeans are nothing more than an occasionally reluctant province of American-Israeli civilization. When they try to make their own decisions, they still suck.
