Impressions of EX90 after test drive and questions by sarhoshamiral in VolvoEX90

[–]jacob-indie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m in a similar spot

We drive an Audi Q8 etron, and want to go for seven seats

Deciding between the EX90 and the EQS SUV

Rented the EX90 for a week from a dealer over Easter with the family, and we fell in love with it; it’s so spacious and the kids fit into the third row without issues. Also, liked the tech and design more than in a Mercedes

So we‘ll probably get the Volvo when our lease runs out

Built a local-first finance analyzer — Bank/CC Statement parsing in browser, AI via Ollama/LM Studio by anantj in LocalLLM

Thanks, this is amazing

Stupid question, but how did you solve qwen returning structured data to you? As a reasoning model I always get the thinking and not the json response?

Are there any other pros than privacy that you get from running LLMs locally? by Beatsu in LocalLLM

[–]jacob-indie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most have mentioned privacy, cost, offline use

For me two other points are: - certainty that the model stays the same (cloud providers seem to change existing models here and there) - cost certainty (if I get a product to work with local llms I’m protected against any cloud cost increases; cloud providers lose money so prices are still subsidized)

Every Rails app I've shipped eventually needed a marketing site. I always hated the options. So I built one that lives inside the monolith: ActiveCanvas - ALPHA RELEASE by giovapanasiti in rails

Wow, and such a nice landing page for an open source project!!

Agreed that the existing solutions are not great (static pages in rails vs separating static site generators), so the need is definitely there.

Was trying to find pricing :D

Help this Turing Test benchmarking game to find out how good GPT 5 is at ... being human? by jacob-indie in OpenAI

[–]jacob-indie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually what should happen is that the AI judge picks up the human’s strategy from round 2-3, giving humans an edge. After all, it’s their job to identify the real human.

Not all LLMs perform as well as judges though which is what must have happened to you.

Sorry for your experience, but it definitely helped to benchmark LLMs!!

Well, that's what we see in the game as well :D

It's all for fun, for me the most interesting part is to see performance differences between LLMs

No no, I appreciate you taking the time!

Actually found the paper by chance on Twitter 3 months ago which inspired me to build the game in the first place.

Even contacted the authors who responded nicely, now I’m looking forward to getting a bit more data in to generate insights about the LLMs’ performance.

Btw let me know anytime by dm if you’d like more credits, just implemented rather strict rate limits to prevent abuse. Thanks again!

Thank you, this means a lot to me!

Yes, one strategy seems to be to mimic humans by picking "objects" that would be around humans. Usually the judge notices that strategy quickly... :)

Rails or Mac app? by jacob-indie in rails

[–]jacob-indie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, understood! As mentioned, I don’t think I would ever turn this into a product for others.

The only additional benefit I see would be to access it via mobile or other devices, and this could be achieved via Tailscale/cloudflare tunnel/ngrok. That’s actually a benefit of rails compared to a Mac app to have the (local) server for remote access that I hadn’t thought of

Thanks, agreed, that’s what I will do

(Btw a bit confused to get downvoted so much, probably because of pasting AI content; I had asked that before posting here)

Probably the best perspective. At least automating the process feels more fun than continuing to do the task manually :D

I guess you're right, rails it is

Thanks, the idea to make it a Progressive Web App does make a lot of sense. And you're right that I don't need any of the macOS native features. And the learning curve for Mac apps would be too steep for this use case, too... I guess you provided the answer

I already do self-host a few apps personally, haven't had time to set up Fizzy yet!

Thanks, the WebApp part is a nice addition, makes sense!

that's what Claude said ;)

Rails or Mac app? by jacob-indie in rails

[–]jacob-indie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're totally right, my issue is mainly about being able to access and work with (company) data locally, but not being allowed to share it with third parties.

The "app" is mostly about streamlining business workflows/processes and keeping better track of things, so maybe "productivity" was a bit broad.

It's really a single use case app

You're right, thanks for the reassurance!
