There's like 1000 langchain alternatives and none are good, they're all vibe-coded unstable projects.

I use Apache Burr but it's not as good as LangChain. I just don't want to use software whose website has a pricing page if it's not a SAAS.


All their API routes for non existing models return 404 and when there's a new model it returns 403.

/resume in claude code.

I like devcontainers

This guy isn't serious and should have resigned a long time ago. Zero credibility.

14 skills with short descriptions doesn't seem like an issue to me.

a skill issue.

The descriptions are shorter now, but they used to read like ads. The skill split still feels arbitrary. You turn on what you think you need, then hit some Cloudflare task that needs another skill and have to go fetch it.

I don’t get why these need to be separate. One skill with progressive disclosure already handles this. That’s kind of the point.


Yesterday I managed to update a 2015 MacBookAir7,2 from El Capitan (last update Sep. 2015) to Sonoma (last update Aug 6th 2026). I was excited when it finally worked.

Thanks to the OpenCore Legacy Patcher who show that not supporting old devices is a choice made by Apple.


OCLP is excellent but it's all coming to an end for Intel Macs unfortunately. Even Homebrew just dropped the ball a few days ago (this is the final draw for me, I'll keep a Sequoia partition but my MBP2015 daily drives on NixOS + GNOME)

Check out MacPorts. They support all the way back to Leopard!

Yes. If anyone reads this in the future: you need to clone the brew repo and use v7.0.2 and install it manually.

You can mute the channel. Why would you want your teammates to communicate less ?

I think that it would be unwise to mute #engineering or whatever the main eng channel is

An engineering team may have multiple channels.

In your example, couldn't you parallelize DS's work more ? You could have 11 times as many agents for the same price.

Both DS and GLM had the same numbers of subagents, 5 or so.

But, well, number of subagents doesn't make a difference if model is dumb (GPT 5.4 High, in May,in Chat mode outperformed what I see with DS4.1-F).

That being said, pricing model makes a huge difference for "find at least one" tasks: with API/PAYG if you have a chance to save 90%, you go for it, whereas with subscriptions it is optimal to burn all your remaining allowance right before reset


DS has perf issues if you parallelize it heavily (24+), especially when the context window is above the limit, on a single machine (with custom llm gateway): it fails 4x more often, and is 2x slower than gpt-5.6.

The claim is that it's why the movie has that name, not why they made the movie.

Of course, that's why they used the generic word "frozen" with a lot of meanings, as opposed to the specific word "cryogenic" that people would actually search for.

Well, it could be because google sucks. Allegedly, the way google enshitifies their searches is to include parallel search terms in the query. Why does google enshitify their searches? Because people spend longer on the google site searching multiple times = more ad time. So, searching for either cryogenic or frozen individually on google may include the other search term, meaning that when searching for cryogenic and disney, you will more than likely get results for frozen and disney, which are probably ranked higher.

So the theory is now that Disney named one of their most successful films "Frozen", not because it's a good name for a story inspired by "The Snow Queen", but it's actually to stop people finding out the rumours that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen by having results about the film outrank results about the conspiracy theory, even though that's trivially overcome by asking about "walt disney cryogenic" instead of "walt disney frozen", but they did that because Disney knew that Google sucks and would somehow be unable to stop pages about the film from outranking pages about the conspiracy theory.

That's a bold theory. Let's test it. Google results for "disney cryogenic":

    Was Walt Disney frozen after death?
    Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen : r/MandelaEffect
    Walt Disney's Cryogenic Chamber - Myth and Folklore Wiki
    How a strange rumor of Walt Disney's death became legend
    The truth behind Walt Disney's frozen head
    Was Walt Disney cryogenically frozen?
    Fact or Fiction: Was Walt Disney Frozen?
    What is the story behind the conspiracy theory that Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen?
8/8 are about the conspiracy theory, 0/8 are about the film.

my theory is, that in hindsight it could look like a straight line from naming a film "frozen," and that in turn, at the height of frozen's popularity and due to googles policies, a search for "disney cryogenic" could return results for the movie frozen, which could lead to the suspicion that it was done on purpose. i am very surprised to find that my search results for "disney cryogenic" almost match yours perfectly.
