all my technological preferences can be explained by my moral superiority, and the decisions of others i don't agree with are a clear sign of general mental and moral deficiency.

> Bun operates its own fork of Zig, and recently achieved a 4x performance improvement on Bun compile after adding "parallel semantic analysis and multiple codegen units to the llvm backend". Here's that code. But @bunjavascript says:
> We do not currently plan to upstream this, as Zig has a strict ban on LLM-authored contributions.

Local coding models are really getting there.
Prompt: Write a single HTML file with a full-page canvas and no libraries. Simulate a realistic side-view of a moving car as the main subject. Keep the car visible in the foreground while the background landscape scrolls continuously to create the feeling that the car is driving forward. Use layered scenery for depth: nearby ground, roadside elements, trees, poles, and distant hills or mountains should move at different speeds for a natural parallax effect. Animate the wheels spinning realistically and add subtle body motion so the car feels connected to the road. Let the environment pass smoothly behind it, with repeating but varied scenery that makes the movement feel believable. Use cinematic lighting and a cohesive sky, such as sunset, dusk, or daylight, to enhance atmosphere. The overall motion should feel calm, immersive, and realistic, with a seamless looping animation.

@nprofile…xsag trying it out right now, so far very impressive. absolutely amazing.

this and the 'pro' version, zen, are probably the easiest way to try out good models that actually work well https://opencode.ai/go

gemma 4 26B has good enough vision to figure out bounding boxes and positions, probably good enough for mouse control.

i think it's generally useful to completely ignore any talk about "AI" unless you have a really good reason to trust the source. an hour of playing with a frontier model will tell you a lot more than reading 30 editorials about how LLMs are / are not AI and will / will not destroy all jobs and will / will not lead to incredible wealth for everyone.

In my experience, Claude is much better than ChatGPT at creating good frontend designs. ChatGPT can implement them well, but for a new design without a reference picture, better ask Claude.

@nprofile…jmdl sure, but that's your employer's problem. maybe their code is legitimately so secret that it can't touch anything else, that's alright. but if it isn't, keeping it away from LLMs will make it less secure and less efficient, which can't help in the long run.

2025-12-21 21:14:56 UTC

it's getting to the point where it's unconscionable to not use LLM assistants for programming

Meta has released SAM (Segment Anything) for audio. This essentially means that you can take an audio source and split it up into the different audio sources it's made up from. Want to do a fan dub? remove all the voices but keep the sound effects and music intact. Want to stream a game with copyrighted music? Just remove it while keeping the rest.

@npub1c4s…aqv4 i'd say comfyui is the best, but i've also switched to using Fooocus for most of the stuff I do, it's much simpler and the author has really in-depth knowledge of stable diffusion, so it has a few features that nobody else has.
