Even the first one - Qwen added extra details in the background sure. But he Pelican itself is a stork with a bent beak and it's feet is cut off it's legs. While impressive for a local model, I don't think it's a winner.

Did you see opus bike though for that same test? I know it is about the flamingo but that is bad.

I think people are finding ways to either enable “pro” features and at least find the right extension points to implement them easily with LLMs. Security is window dressing.

Does Europe and America really call the summer solstice the “start” of summer. Wow.

In India our summer holidays start at the end of March and finish in the start of June. That’s usually our hottest months too. And a lot of our regional “New Year” calendar’s and related festivals are on April 14th and can probably be considered the start of summer.

Hottest day of the year in the US varies by 3 months from California to Texas, which is only about half the width of the country. I would imagine the region you're in has a different hottest day of the year from say Kashmir or your neighbor Sri Lanka.

The three months difference must be based on a wild corner case. What cities are you basing that statement on?

I played around with weatherspark and all the places I tried looked like this :

I don't know whether to call it a corner case or not, but I was pretty easily able to find this one (based on my own experience – the peak temperature in the East Bay has always felt very late in the year): https://weatherspark.com/compare/y/541~3268/Comparison-of-th...

3 months? Wow. It should be impossible to put seasons on a shared calendar for the whole country.

Europe does not. Summer is June, July and August with a bit of give here and there.

Probably depends on where you are, etc., but as an European, I was taught in school two ways of splitting the year up into seasons: calendar/astrological and meteorological. Calendar split is based on solstices and equinoxes (21st March, 21st June, ...), whereas meteorological is based on month start (1st March, 1st June, ...). They use this also in weather reports, for example, where on 1st March they would add "Today starts meteorological spring" and on 21st March "Today starts calendar spring".

My man. Why stop at chutney, when you can go all the way to Briyani (the south indian kind)

> It would call a custom API I had set up that adds items to my TODO list

You can use anything to call this API right? I have multiple iPhone shortcut that does this. Heck, I think you can even use Siri to trigger the shortcut and make it a voice command (a bit unsure, it’s been a while since I played with voice)

> You can use anything to call this API right?

The API is on my home PC and not exposed to the outside world. Only OpenClaw via Telegram was. So my question is about the infrastructure:

How do I communicate with something at home (it could be the API directly) using a messaging app like Telegram? I definitely want an LLM in the mix. I want to casually tell it what my TODO is, and have it:

- Craft it into a concise TODO headline

- Craft a detailed summary

- Call the API with the above two.

I'm not asking in the abstract. What specific tools/technologies should I use?

Expose the API to the outside world using tailscale. Run your telegram bot on n8n or windmill.dev. You can absolutely use an LLM, both n8n and windmill.dev support AI agentic workflows. google "n8n LLM telegram bot" and you'll find tons of examples.

Tailscale on your PC and phone. Free (as in beer). I run vikunja.io in docker at home and simply web browse to it over the tailnet.

Just leave the bot running on your home PC, a Telegram bot can be programmed in any language of your choice that can communicate via a network.

If you aren't a programmer it's also the kind of small project that LLMs are great at, there are many examples ingested in their training data.

I agree. One of the strangest things I found was “in-built” support for a things like TailwindCSS. The LSP starts showing warning in all HTML/TSX files and confuses me to no end. I know, I can turn it off with the setting, but the choice seems so confusing. Tailwind is just one of the thousands of CSS libraries. Why enable it without any mention in the codebase.

I have actually ditched PyCharm for the snappiness of Zed. But the paper cuts are really adding up.

Thanks for sharing. The Soul remains my favourite book. And sorry for your loss.

+1 Please add a hide button for the UI. I love the animation. Unfortunately can’t see it fully

I set the zoom to 50% in the browser and was able to see well.

Who are you people? 4 pivots and still going with "no tests" -> "tests first" rewrites. I mean, people say tech jobs are on down trend, projects are drying. And then there is this. I just can't make sense.

Pivot to where the stupid money is being thrown around seems like a perfectly reasonable business plan.

I have done the same multiple times. But for the last 3 months or so. I haven’t touched anything else (well nvim for quick code browsing, but not as editor). I think that might be around the time they fixed the font rendering on Linux.

It’s good. Launches from anywhere from cli with just ‘zed .’ (No logs and artifacts that hold up the terminal). Multiple instances without worry (unlike PyCharm I used before).

It’s good to the point I keep checking to see if there is a “pro” plan, but there isn’t. They just have AI subscriptions.
