Particle-1 is as good as much larger models for agentic retrieval but 1/23 the price

build useful things
I've gotten tired of dealing with local servers slowing down my laptop, so I built whattheport.dev to:
- see what local servers are running
- how long they've been running
- their resource use
- notify me if one spikes
- auto-kill old servers
- give easy ways to launch the local urls
- add shortcuts to the @vercel preview url, or Codex/CCode sessions that created it, and shortcuts to resume in my terminal of choice
- charts to see spikes (of course)
Open source, totally free
I often forget the syntax to kill a process running on a certain port. term-llm helps each time:
```
$ term-llm exec 'kill app at port 55090'
Select a command to run [i] info
> kill (lsof -ti tcp:55090)
Finds and terminates the process using TCP port 55090. Fish command substitution syntax is used.
lsof -ti tcp:55090 | xargs kill -9
Force-kills any process using TCP port 55090. Use if a normal termination does not work.
sudo kill (sudo lsof -ti tcp:55090)
Terminates the process with elevated privileges if it belongs to another user or requires admin access.
```

Drop eveything. Go get a Brane X bluetooth speaker at their Austin show room on South Congress (10% discount if you buy in store). I went there, listened and got two. It's a 3-way bluetooth speaker with a *real* sub in it. Forget Devialet. The Brane is better and it costs only $500. Brane has only 1 product and it's this one. 10/12 inch wide. Not bass, sub-woofer bass.

Open Source Software Vulnerability Scanner: we need this. Great idea Sam.
In an alternate universe, @elonmusk, @DarioAmodei and @sama fund a not-for-profit foundation tasked with securing Open Source software. They give it access to the latest models and start stamping "reviewed" on SHAs that the models scanned. They report issues and fixes directly to maintainers, and give the public a clearer picture of which versions are probably safe.
The frontier we all love was built on Open Source. Securing the foundation is a shared responsibility.
Sad to see @esrtweet in character assassination of @dhh. Do we need more or less population migration? Who cares, it's not the topic. The topic is that Linux is getting better and @OmarchyLinux is helping.

Today, I feel like a failure, because I haven't been offensive enough to these communist clowns to be denounced by name.
I'll...I'll try to do better. *sob*

El día de hoy Microsoft hizo público un proyecto nuevo llamado tgrep que permite buscar en monorepos enormes sin tener que escanear todo el código en cada query.
En vez de funcionar como grep o ripgrep (que leen archivo por archivo), tgrep construye un índice de trigramas, levanta un server local y solo toca los archivos que pueden coincidir. Resultado: búsquedas casi instantáneas y, según sus benches, hasta 7x–52x más rápido que ripgrep en repos tipo Chromium o gecko-dev.
Está en Rust, es MIT, respeta .gitignore y ya lo metieron en GitHub Copilot CLI.

Nvidia released the Nvidia Personal AI Router (PAIR) for routing your AI requests across your multiple LAN computers. Using it on DGX Spark, MBP M5 max. Works super well. Adding another PC / Nvidia graphic card soon.

The Cambridge Vice-Chancellor and the hiring team share responsibility for what happened to Arday. This is an institutional failure. Arday was not as qualified as the prestigious post required. As such, he was placed in a position he could not win, and that was even before the discovery of plagiarism. In many ways, this is a casualty that DEI created. Hiring the most competent person for the role is what it should have been.
"an autistic Black scholar who inspired a generation"? A Google search for ""Jason Arday" site:nature.com" shows that you never mentioned him until a couple of weeks ago. While of course it is a shame that Cambridge exploited him, shouldn't there be some documentary evidence of Prof. Arday having "inspired a generation"?
Great feature, specially for remote teams.
Announcing @discourse Voice! Voice + video rooms, bundled in core.
WebRTC, live transcriptions, background blur, noise cancellation, private by default. All AI bits run on-device.

Google maps and Lake Ontario. Oops Lake America.
Only from Google Maps if you are in the USA. We get a different world view in the US.

A big part is that you basically get unlimited composer / grok 4.6 in a cursor plan... when it comes to other models they are priced way higher - so people on a cursor plan naturally use them much less. We are getting 10k (at least) of Sol credits on a 200$ Codex plan
I remember. The prototype had a crank you turn to produce electricity. Great for remote places and countries where many don’t have what is necessary.
The OLPC XO was the little green laptop that tried to change the world
It was supposed to give everyone access to computing. Then we got the smartphone.

The volunteers bringing Linux to Apple MacBooks are almost ready to ship it on the M3, with zero help from Apple.
This is Asahi Linux. A tiny team that has spent years reverse-engineering Apple Silicon from scratch.
And they are getting dangerously close.
Webcam support now works on M3. USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt work too. The team had to reverse-engineer Apple's changing USB controller designs just to get there.
A full M3 release is expected in the coming weeks. And they're already working on M4.
The funny part? Apple never opened a single door for them.
Yet they kept picking the locks anyway.
