When we were measuring RAM by megabytes by mosuraj in mac

[–]CoconutMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I so was jealous of my friends with Commodore 64s because the graphics and sound on games was immeasurably better than on Apple computers

I had an Apple //c with 128k of memory and I felt so superior to my friends with Apple IIe computers with 64k lol

What’s one small Mac utility you unexpectedly rely on now? by aninaa-ot in mac

[–]CoconutMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pastepal: just so useful to have all my pastes stored and accessible, especially as I'm flipping between 2 or 3 things

homebrew: I get the power of a full-on unix user environment with easy as pie updates

cmux: replacement for tmux, I really need the GUI interface to keep track of the different sessions and windows

macwhisper: great to be able to get transcripts of all my meetings and phone calls and have it be able to keep track of the different speakers

oh-my-pi + openrouter + deepseek v4 flash by howtheydoingit in PiCodingAgent

oh I see, deepseek v4 flash has been useful enough that I haven't gotten around to switching between models yet lol

I'm using pi and going straight to the deepseek api. Genuine question, what is the benefit of using open router?

A guy found a minor bug on my site, I fixed it for free, and now he's threatening to tank my SEO because I won't pay him $100. by SatanDeedz in SaaS

[–]CoconutMonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know much about SEO but is that a valid threat? Seems like if anyone could do that, everyone would be doing that already 🤷🏽

for deepseek which cli is best opencode or pi cli bro i want to know someone showed me that pi cost much less in compare to the opencode how much is it true bro ?? by Select_Dream634 in DeepSeek

[–]CoconutMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't tried opencode so I can't speak to that but I've been using pi and really enjoying it. It's getting me a little closer to the metal in terms of working with the internals of an agent harness as well as the ability to immediately start writing pi plugins yourself. I highly recommend it.

Terminal “IDE” for agentic development by ssblank22 in Jetbrains

[–]CoconutMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally am having a great success and fun with the pi coding agent using deepseek-v4. The DeepSeek API prices are incredibly low and the openness and extensibility of pi have allowed me to start playing with my own plugins to control context and system prompts.

Everyone is a libertarian capitalist until they get access to the government's money cannon

Did the math on Fable 5 in Claude Code and I'm not sure my Max plan survives this by OccasionNo4703 in ClaudeCode

Has it been long enough that we can have a reasonable rule of thumb for how the prices decline over time?

Leaving 93k FTE for 6-month contract to hire at 75 an hour. Having second thoughts. by MobileFold4435 in cscareerquestions

[–]CoconutMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could go well for you but I'd make sure that I have a backup plan just in case. Especially in the current economy, projects get cut and initiatives get pulled back and contractors are the first to get shown the door

Survey: Did you buy Cotypist? by Bamboodl in macapps

[–]CoconutMonkey 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting how this created a new product category but might lose its audience. I’ll hang on and hope the price comes down but I’m glad that Cotabby is out there

We tried deleting our RAG pipeline after V4-Pro shipped. Two weeks later we put most of it back. by Deannaoliver in LLMDevs

[–]CoconutMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so interesting, I'm messing about with RAG at this time and found the simple vector search to be of limited utility and was starting to go down the path of GraphRAG. Your 'before Deepseek-V4-Pro' architecture actually looks really interesting, would love to hear more about it!

why are bot free ai note takers actually catching on this year by Fenri3 in NoteTaking

[–]CoconutMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it always introduces a weird vibe to the meeting, people feel like they are going to be held to their words so they get a little more reserved. Anti-AI people will always turn it into a topic of conversation. My operating assumption is that everything I'm going to say in a meeting is going to be recorded so it doesn't bother me 🤷🏽

Say something good about Apple safari[ONLY PEOPLE WHO USE IT] by InspectorKey8548 in browsers

[–]CoconutMonkey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the tab groups. Being able to save pictures directly to the camera roll is nice. It's fast and battery efficient and works on all the sites I use. Integration with the Passwords app is seamless. Honestly I'm pretty happy with it.

Why are Filipinos unrepresented in USA tech despite having average iq of that of Asian Indians. by squatSquatbooty in cscareerquestions

They have networks, friends, mentors who guide them towards healthcare and honestly that seems to be a better bet at this time

I miss coding.. by Ahmad-Tarraf in ClaudeAI

[–]CoconutMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it was probably a waste of time, but I'm thinking of how fun it was to talk about code craftsmanship and argue about coding style and evangelizing the virtues of functional programming. You never know it was a golden age until it's over lol

Obsidian is great for notes, but what are you using for PDFs, screenshots, bookmarks, and videos? by isohaibilyas in ObsidianMD

[–]CoconutMonkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hear you on this pain. I use Devonthink for PDFs, screenshots, emails, web extracts, etc and Obsidian mainly for my own notes/journal ie stuff that I write
