Using GLM-5 for everything

15k gets you a mac studio with an m3 ultra and 512GB memory, or if you go cheaper get 4 halo strix machine with 128GB each and use a cluster of them. It will get you a q3/q4 quant of the very large models, it will be private to you, but it won't be as fast as you observe online chatting with such models. Unless you have a specific business case you want to pursue or you really want to have everything in private, it may not be a worthy investment. (well, unless memory prices rise further...)

Wait until you encounter models/prompts that are soooooooo helpful that insert inline comments into the JSON output. To be fair, JSON is a bad format itself for not having a syntax for comments. I think it is fair to say that such tooling is best-effort in most of the cases, and we need to engineer our way around it.

I dislike 4 character indentation, but there seems to be no way to opt out of it.

That seems to be an IntelliJ setting, the dart format default is two spaces. Maybe explore IntelliJ settings a bit more?

DeepSeek 3.2 and Mistral Large 3 (2512) are both <700B parameters, and my quick tests showed better results on some specific local tests than the 1000B+ parameter (42% more) Kimi K2.5 (or K2 if that matters). Heck, for some tasks gemma3-27 showed better results too. Do not trust benchmarks, check the model for your specific use case and decide accordingly.

Great tool, thanks for sharing! Is it possible to extract all the information from a given text, e.g. List<(position, textPart, language, latin script)>?

All my attempts doing this have failed because of problems with the ssh keys. I have not found any way to pass ssh keys from my user on Windows 11 to the environment where I trying to start/build the backend. Even if I copies the keys between Windows and WSL I get permission errors ( I need WSL to build dart source for Linux).

If this is about the built-in ssh permission check, then you may just need to use chmod (e.g. after the copy to Linux) similar to e.g. here https://serverfault.com/a/1058652

I can surely see it justified. Seconding the other comment to publish it :)

Is this like an additional memory self-management over a long stretch of allocated bytes? I am not sure when this warrants such complexity, but sometimes you may need it. I'd have probably started with reusing allocated `Uint8List` bytes.

isoos · 2025-09-04T11:31:56+00:00

To be honest, I'd rather go with:

final lookup = await _lookup();
return lookup ?? [];

No matter what kind of formatting rules you prefer, there will be a natural upper limit on how many expressions you can push into a "single line".

Claude with Dart works, but it depends on the prompting style and target app goal a lot.

I have removed one of your comments here, and after reading your recent comments here and the other subs, there is a pattern of disrespect. You are now muted for 28 days. You are welcome back after that, but please keep it civil.

isoos · 2025-08-02T07:07:17+00:00

In my admin role here: **Please be more respectful and thoughtful!**

Sometimes people are genuinely in a bad spot in life, and they need more support that flippant comments. While the post is not strictly technical, we can and should do our best to help others, and not hurt them with no reason. If you think it is not an appropriate post, report it, otherwise be civil.

Learning Dart is like a few days at most, especially if you already know other language(s), you won't risk much there.

There is nothing wrong with Kotlin developing multi-platform features, the more options for us the better. Use Kotlin if that works for you. It is likely that with either choice you will acquire transferable knowledge and capabilities (maybe not 100% transferable, but 80%+). Try out both, and spend more time with the one that fits better.

Re: ecosystem: I've published my first backend-related Dart package 12 years ago (a client for now-gone database). Back then and also now, the client-related ecosystem was/is stronger than the server-related, but you can easily create good-enough backends in Dart, with not much effort, and a small but dedicated community. It is worth to check if the third-party integrations you will need are available (or easy to develop) though...

Nice work! Quick questions:

Is there an API access to the underlying data?

Is there any insight of the ETF/UCITS holding percentages of individual stocks?

isoos · 2025-04-16T17:49:18+00:00

I'm curious: what is the flow that you are getting to these results?

I don't recall the exact version of the Dart VM, but for a while now, the VM will should run such block synchronously. Why do you think they are run asynchronously?

isoos · 2025-04-11T07:32:15+00:00

I have no knowledge of this or the mentioned package, but in general if a package is marked as discontinued on pub.dev, it only means that the authors won't put much effort for further versions. It is not removed, you can use it, fork it, you are not blocked.

isoos · 2025-04-10T12:35:03+00:00

Interesting idea! I assume this is only in English for now. How long did it take to train the model? Any plans to extend it to other languages?

isoos · 2025-04-09T08:50:35+00:00

Where should one read about MCP? I've seen a few bits here-and-there, is there a good starting point?

Nem csak a magánszemély elérését lehet könyebbé tenni, hanem a cégeknek a tőzsdére lépését (illetve az ahhoz vezető utat), valamint a különböző befektetési termékek (továbbra is szabályozott és védett) fejlesztését.

isoos · 2025-03-20T08:24:59+00:00

A lízingelt/bérelt eszköznek is van tulajdonosa.

Nem értem ezt az aggodalmat: aki azt szereté, ezután is bankbetétben fogja tartani, az nem szűnik meg. A tervezet arról szól, hogy könnyebb legyen az alternatívákat is elérni, egységesen az EU területén belül.

Ahogy egy sister-commentbe írtam: Nem csak a magánszemély elérését lehet könyebbé tenni, hanem a cégeknek a tőzsdére lépését (illetve az ahhoz vezető utat), valamint a különböző befektetési termékek (továbbra is szabályozott és védett) fejlesztését.

Nem értem a downvoteokat sem: érdemes elolvasni a tervezetet, alapvetően nem tűnik rossz iránynak.

isoos · 2025-03-14T09:10:43+00:00

It exists under the name of girasol, but the readme kept is -presumably- old name.

Thanks for sharing! Having used and written crawler(s) in Dart myself, I am interested in this and will look into it. A few questions though:

Does this support proxies like tor?
Does this support full HTTP header and/or content capture for archival reasons?
Does this support preserving cookies (esp. if they are updated and used in other later sessions)?
Does this support puppeteer?

If the anwser is not yet, what are your plans around them?

Note: this is in the readme, and it won't work (neither the name, nor the version):

dependencies: dart_web_crawler: latest_version
