For the first time, I'm using the #opencode #neovim plugin as a sparring partner for writing a piece of text. I am keeping it in read-only mode, and discussing formulations, weaknesses, consistency errors, paragraph-by-paragraph, as I like to work this way ever since. Using qwen3.5:122b with ollama, locally hosted does not seem any worse than #gemini felt a year ago.

Everything is running open source, except for the model, which is only open-weight, and no data leakage to external parties.  It is a bit slower than the cloud models on my very machine (a frame.work desktop with AMD Strix Halo), but sufficiently fast for this application, as I am a slow thinker, so usually I ponder some aspect of the text longer than the model does anyway.

I did not try to use it for critiquing code yet, only text, but I suspect for code it might be too slow.

Coding agent: huh, can't load this model...says GPU is out of memory. How'd that happen? 🤔

Me: Probably because you're using the GPU. 🤦🏼

Agent: Whaa-!?? 😮

#WritersCoffeeClub 24th May: What do you need in order to finish your current WIP?

A lit agent to say yes!

Star Trek, but the Enterprise is owned by a billionaire, there are unskippable ads on every deck, McCoy won't treat you if you have the wrong insurance, and you'll be spaced if you don't pay the passenger subscription.

Has anyone thought of creating a Linux distro with LLM tools built in?

I feel stuck now.

I thought if I got in an abundance mindset I'd attract others with the same mindset.

- Taking care of my body with a daily workout
- Dreaming big, and doing big.
- Seeking the welfare of others.
- Seeing 💰 as a resource, not as an end goal.

Yet I'm surrounded by people who are afraid to dream. Who just see present circumstances. Conversations are about what is, not what's possible.

Where my awesome people at?

I try not to post too much about politics (I try to stick with apolitical tech...although I realize it's hard for tech to be apolitical), but this has been on my mind a while.
I wonder how many Christians actually do read their Bible. Or if they look up "borders" and read passages of God providing detailed borders for their own nation, while at the same time failing to read about the future Jerusalem, where God's desire is for porous borders...with open, frequent trade with foreign nations, where EVERY tribe, EVERY tongue, and EVERY people live in harmony.

Going through Leviticus now in my #Bible reading, but I've noticed something interesting.

Leviticus gets an (understandable) bad rap for being restrictive and legalistic...sometimes downright weird, like sowing 2 types of seed or using 2 types of garments.

But overall the laws have a tone of surprising mercy, asking people to reign in their desire for vengeance and break down walls of distrust of foreigners.

The laws seem freakishly merciful...not just for Israel, but for the #US.
