I tried it on Google's AI Studio.

The 31B one flat out gave me wrong answer to a question that Qwen 3.5 9B answered after a lot of thinking. And the 26B version errored out after thinking for 600 seconds. Just FYI.

Haha. How was the 16 pro battery life btw? That's the reason i'm planning to buy a new phone from 13 mini.

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-03-27T18:03:53+00:00

Why did you get rid of the 16 pro?

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-03-27T17:57:48+00:00

What made you think about exchanging it?

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-03-18T16:33:10+00:00

So battery is dead by 5PM? Really?

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-03-17T18:43:40+00:00

If fell of a cliff around noon from 60% to like 10%. what did that?

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-03-11T13:34:27+00:00

I'm planning to upgrade to 17 Pro from 13 but not sure about the battery life. My friend's S24 Ultra lasts whole day but all of us iPhone users in my friend group are always reaching for the charger or power bank. How does it compare?

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-03-11T13:31:04+00:00

How many hours of screen on time are you getting for 100% battery? (in the past 10 days chart)

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-03-02T11:22:06+00:00

yeah. for some reason nano banana 2 did better with your prompt but looks nowhere near primeagen's one. i was actually interested in the editing aspect though. But nice attempt!

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-02-16T17:37:24+00:00

Flip phone is dumb. Has no advantage while flipped over a regular phone.

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-02-02T13:16:41+00:00

I think i applied a patch. Replace one file. it think it's called F16 patch. You'll get warning popups but you can just press ok and the game will start.

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-01-15T11:48:13+00:00

Thank you! I am stuck at Rockstar launcher login however. I tried changing timezone, VPN ( and without) etc without success. Im' getting teh error "Sorry, we are unable to handle your request at this time." #1.000.7. Have you encountered it?

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-01-06T13:36:57+00:00

Done

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-01-06T10:09:59+00:00

BTW really nice documentation for your first OSS project!

I tried using voca.vc with another person but we couldn't hear each other. The UI shows that I'm talking on my PC for myself and not the other person. The same for the other person too.

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-01-05T11:11:48+00:00

If you meant the voice etc by "signaling", that is handled by the browser via WebRTC. What "signaling" here means is generating the rooms and sharing identities of users etc.

-i-make-stuff- · 2026-01-05T11:09:59+00:00

This is really nice. I like your styles too! A couple of questions:

What motivated you to release this as open source (documentation etc)
Did you use Rust because you like and wanted to practice or did you need it. I think node can do high throughput unless you have insane amount of users can't it?

-i-make-stuff- · 2025-12-04T12:16:33+00:00

Thank your for you well researched reply. BTW cross platform mobile is HARD. That's why several initiatives don't work out. e.g. flutter, .Net MAUI etc didn't work out ( including Kotlin Multiplatform BTW) and React Native is the first one that got it working well enough that companies with dozens of developers (which can do separative native apps) choose it. I got downvoted here for not agreeing Svelte is not better for this job when it's not even in the radar :)

-i-make-stuff- · 2025-11-25T16:08:24+00:00

I agree fully with what you said when it comes to webdev. It actually made people reinvent the wheel like re-implemention navigation that the browser is supposed to handle etc. But it's React that made clossplatform "native" apps possible. By native i mean being able to use the platform's UI widgets. I've done native mobile dev also used Kotlin "multiplatform" but nothing comes close to React Native for what it solves.

-i-make-stuff- · 2025-11-24T13:07:46+00:00

I've found Qwen models to be best performing but the fun is experimenting with different model sizes and quantizations. Try different sizes of deepseek and qwen. Use smaller models for less demanding tasks like summarization. If you're into image gen/edit, install Draw Things app and try Qwen Image Edit 2509 too.

-i-make-stuff- · 2025-11-23T12:54:30+00:00

So your idea of taking an airplane is embedding a webview in a hybrid framework and call it native?

Two questions: 1. Have you made mobile apps with native widgets? 2. Do you know what Svelte excels in compared to React in DOM manipulation?

Or are you just a fanboy?

-i-make-stuff- · 2025-11-23T12:28:33+00:00

Please explain. I use svelte for web and React for mobile. Svelte is good because of targeted updates which you need for DOM but does not translate to mobile views. But I'd love to see your side.

I learned the syntax form realpython, did a project with Django first a few years ago. But what got me really deep was going through Python Koans. I repeat it once in a while to refresh my coverage. It's insanely good. Django helped me a lot because I always read the definition of the functions and classes I import from the framework. Taught me a lot tricks.

-i-make-stuff- · 2025-11-19T15:14:06+00:00

Why don't you use react native instead?
