Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Was planning to do this eventually anyway: Added LSP support to my editor. 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Need to call 'opencode service restart' approx. once a day. 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Yep. Another good approach (IMHO) is to use only prepaid credits for API-based calls; this automatically sets a strict, fixed upper limit (also good for cell phone plans). 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Hah, love that. Minor detail, I know, but it's always slightly annoyed me. Didn't know 'new' accepts an initializer expression these days. TIL. 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Talking about odd code: before Go 1.22 (Feb. 2024), loop variables were shared across iterations, one storage location, so closures and goroutines captured their final values. Mentioned in The Go programming language (§5.6.1/§8.5), but was super-easy to overlook and led to many production problems. 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In Go programs, you will occasionally find a helper function like this, especially in unit tests, where you often want to define a pointer to a literal. The reason is that the address operator & requires an addressable operand (e.g. a variable). See also go.dev/ref/spec#Add... 100
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Sometimes I have thoughts like, 'I'm glad I went with a custom UIView since it made placing the gutter icons/markers easier,' only to realize a few minutes later that an NSRulerView subview would've done the job just as well. 030
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Reading that SoftBank are investing so massively in OpenAI, so tying its fate to them, makes me wonder if they realize that ‘cheap’ models (whether open-weight or not) are on the rise? Same with Oracle. 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Anthropic’s IPO filing: whatever happened to all that talk about the 'profit zone'? Their losses have doubled, they're planning to spend over 500 billion, and nearly 25% of their 2025 revenue is tied to just two customers (Cursor/Copilot). Is that good? www.reuters.com/business/fin...reuters.comEXCLUSIVE: Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows sweeping AI vision, surging costsAnthropic is making a massive bet that AI will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.

Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It would be interesting to know what percentage of total requests come through third parties like Vercel and what percentage is direct traffic. Are there any figures on this? 011
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Switching from MS to Linux is a huge pain because of app compatibility, AD policies, hardware issues, and all that. But transitioning to an open-weight LLM is easy. Customers can still stick with their AWS/Azure/Whatever for the support. Still maybe you're right, it just got me wondering. 120
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Hmm, don't Microsoft Azure, AWS Bedrock, and similar platforms come with enterprise-grade controls and host such models? 131
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Why is that the case, when it's so easy to switch? (Openweight models are often significantly cheaper. Companies can't use heavily subsidized subscriptions.)? 230
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 19/09/2026To quote myself: The recipe still works. Since Google Gemini is attacking real companies, they're in the news now and can basically be considered a frontier lab. It still doesn't matter that it was prompted that way and there was a misconfiguration (unintentional?). www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...abc.net.auGemini hacked three companies in first known breakout by Google's AIThe hacks occurred during a cybersecurity test conducted by an independent evaluation company. 061

Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Inevitable I guess: AI chat with heavy advertising. Quote from OpenAI blog: ...building an advertising platform with AI at its center: new ad experiences that make advertising more helpful for people... openai.com/index/reimag... 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 16/09/2026While some regional routes are reliable, it really depends on the specific line. For the Hof-Leipzig route, the trains were often overcrowded; they've always had far too few cars, at least that was the case for several years. 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Indeed. Used to travel by train a lot. It actually went downhill, and about 10(?) years ago, it started getting noticeably worse. I think/hope that with all the infrastructure investments, it'll get better again. We'll see. 110
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 16/09/2026See, it can work! We took two train trips over the weekend and they both worked out. And two weeks before that, we did a trip with 5(!) transfers (on-demand taxi, S-Bahn, rail replacement, and 3 trains) and everything went smoothly then, too. 110
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 15/09/2026You can have your dataset analyzed in its entirety, with a final result (e.g., a chart), or you can have your own tool created. Even a one-time use on large datasets is cheaper and you can see how it works (correctness), and reuse it. Magic. 🤷 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Yeah, this is a real issue. Using a VM prevents them from accessing secrets on the file system, sure. I'm not sure Codex or Claude Code are more trustworthy than OpenCode when it comes to this. 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Saw some computers at a museum of applied arts today, including a Robotron A 5120. It's an 8-bit computer from 1982 (up to 64 KB) that cost between 27,000 and 40,000 East German Marks. 020
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 12/09/2026In January, „Die Zeit“ reported that Apple does not intend to train its AI using user data, but that seems to be a thing of the past now. 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The half-life of new buzzwords is no longer what it used to be, when I hear that "SaaSpocalypse" became "RenaiSaaS." 110
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Since you mentioned trust issues about passwords being leaked, an alternative would be to have the AI create scripts/tools that use credentials via env vars. Then, after a quick review, one can just run them in a separate terminal with those vars set? 100
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 11/09/2026They also supported a maximum of 128MB RAM, which was certainly extreme at the time. Maybe worth it for high-end tasks? Industrial Light and Magic at least used Macintosh IIfx computers for special effects in Terminator 2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special...en.wikipedia.orgSpecial effects of Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Wikipedia 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yeah, seems experts are divided: will it be our Skynet, solve all of humanity's problems, or barely make an impact? But one thing is certain: we need to pour endless amounts of money into it. 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Imagine AGI is achieved and hardly anyone reports it or talks about it. 110
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 10/09/2026True. But will it work for big tech over the mid-to-long term? Comparable open-weight models are way cheaper, and since enterprises are stuck with API pricing instead of subsidized plans, cost is a factor. Vendor lock-in is difficult to achieve with LLMs. 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The Macintosh IIfx used a 68030 chip. I found a cool browser emulator running System 7 that even features a Metrowerks C compiler. I've never seen one in real life, but according to Wikipedia, its original intro price would be equivalent to $22K today. infinitemac.org/1991/System%... 210
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The iPhone Duo 1 TB is €3,049 in the German Apple Store. Apple isn't exactly cheap, I know, but that's over 3K. Is it just me, or do others think this is, um, expensive, too? 170
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I've got it bookmarked in my Finder sidebar. Don't even have to open Xcode to wipe the folder. 011
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Almost forgot: here is a workaround. It might not be the most elegant solution, but it's what I use. 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Good point. But isn't that the easiest and best way for a frontier lab to gain access to extremely high-quality data? And how could one prove that the data was used? (Besides, who could even afford such a lawsuit?) 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I knew that the NeXTstation and NeXTcube were based on a Motorola 68040, but I didn’t know the Amiga 4000 existed, let alone that it had a 68040. 021
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Ha, ha. Indeed. I'd recommend to start with LM Studio (nice chat UI), an MoE model like qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b with 4-bit quantization, and a customized /.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc file. 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Haven't thought about that yet. But true, you do have complete information of the runtime behavior, not only of a running program/game, but of the complete emulated OS. 000
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 05/09/2026One cool thing about emulators is can save/load states. Having different slots to just restore the system to a previous point is awesome, and it's not just helpful for games. 110
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I've set up an Amiga 4000 emulator (FS-UAE) and I'm just tinkering with it a bit. Emulators definitely have their own charm. 130

Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 04/09/2026While certain aspects of AI might be compared to other technological shifts, overall, there has been nothing quite like it so far. At least I can’t think of anything. 010
Stephan Schlecht @sw7com.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Just in case you want to run it in the EU, there is: cortecs.ai (which works similar to openrouter): The already recommended OpenCode is good. (might be worth mentioning: it isn't subsidized, so you pay API prices)cortecs.aicortecs - Europe's AI GatewayCortecs is Europe's LLM router for cost, speed, and compliance.
